    Merry Shelly’s Frankenstein shows how Victor ignores many things like his social life, family and most of all his own creation.

The creature tries his best to get Victor’s attention by talking to him first, but when that doesn’t work on Victor; the creature changes his game to violence. Merry Shelly shows that you cannot ignore problems, you can either confront them positively or they will require your attention through negative responses.…

    Residential schools were seen by the Canadian government as a way to civilize the native population and keep their children from continuing in their native traditions. In 1895 Rev Fr A.M Carion stated in a report from a residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia that the purpose of the residential school is to civilize the Indian and to make them good, useful and law abiding members of society with strict punishments for any wrong doings. 1 Richard Pratt, who founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, one of the first of the reservation schools in the United States, preached “you must kill the Indian in him; to save the man”. These ideals were later adopted by the Canadian government. 2 The goal of residential schools was to assimilate Aboriginals into white society through children since they were much more susceptible to influence. This research paper will focus on the residential school system and will argue that the Canadian government and churches committed genocide amongst the indigenous populations in an attempt to eliminate the native culture. It will focus on the history of residential schools in Canada, their intended targets, the health and quality of life of the Aboriginals attending these schools, the sterilization of Aboriginal women, those who succeeded in the school system, and what has changed since the opening of the schools.…

    Students may choose a crisis or legal dispute not assigned by me in this course that has affected the meetings, events, or sports industry (or seriously affected a single meeting, event, or sports event) and write a thorough analysis of the occurrence using the best practices and principles discussed in this course. A case analysis is expected to be 5-7 double-spaced pages long and well organized with headers and clear explanations of what occurred, how it was handled, the outcome, and the fallout (e.g., a regulation was changed, an annual event was discontinued, etc.). Include a list of resources that pertain not only to the case itself but to key issues in the case (e.g., if your case is a specific attrition dispute, include a resource list for further learning about attrition).…

    Victimized Against Her Will in Naguib Mahfouz’s “The Answer is No” by Doris Osiimwe-Johnson Naguib Mahfouz’s “The Answer is No”, plots around a beautiful and rich young Egyptian teacher who was raped at a young age of fourteen by Badrani Badawi, a man she had respected as her second father. To this day she suffers the repercussions of the tragic event, partly because the moral standards in the Egyptian culture dictate that a woman be pure to be given into marriage. An article in The International Herald Tribune reported that “In Egypt, and across the Arab world, respectable sex requires marriage, particularly for a woman and especially for the first time” (MacFarquhar). Naguib’s unnamed protagonist is raped, victimized, against her will and not a virgin any more; therefore a social misfit. She has been pushed against a wall into the corner of loneliness and solitude, “day by day she becomes older. She avoids love, fears it” (Mahfouz 635). Ultimately her position as a woman is compromised by the nature of her culture and she is “struggling helplessly in a well sprung trap” (Mahfouz 635). According to the grapevine, “Rape is a crime of sexual violence that causes long term emotional devastation to its victims” (Repp 16). Nevertheless, she is a strong and independent woman who will not lie down in self-pity; she will not reminisce about her misfortune, but rather walk elegantly and stand by her principles. This woman’s options are minimized and her choices are limited because of the effect of rape. The act of rape is a strategic weapon of psycho-socialspiritual destruction designed to undermine the well-being of a woman. Theoretically, “Young women suffer a great long time distress after an act of rape and experience the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, fear, excessive vigilance, shame and often encounter difficulties with intimate relationships” (Burby 96). Society…

    When scientists were analysing new X-rays, they noticed a foreign item lodged in Otzi 's left shoulder. Detailed investigations showed that it was a flint arrowhead. It is likely that Otzi died as a result of this wound. On close examination of the left side of Otzi 's back, Eduard Egarter Vigl discovered a small skin wound. The wound opens into a narrow channel leading into the interior of the body. The arrowhead created a 2-cm-wide hole in the left shoulder blade the arrow punctured a major blood vessel and damaged the neurovascular fascicles of the left arm, which would have caused heavy bleeding and possibly paralysis of the arm. The Otzi probably bled to death in a couple of minutes.…
