...relations between French and English Canadians. Sir Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919), who championed all of the above to become the most successful and long-reigning of Canada’s early Liberal prime ministers, remains the iconic figure of commonsense, moderate Canadian liberalism of this period. • Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (1919-2000), ran the country from 1968 to 1984, and remains a sort of “founding father” figure of modern Canadian liberalism. • Trudeau believed that a larger, more activist Canadian government could help alleviate the country’s social and economic ills, and create a more compassionate and egalitarian “Just Society” in the process. • Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien (b. 1934) and his finance minister, Paul Martin (b. 1938), ran the country from 1993 to 2006, and are credited with helping move the Liberal Party to the centre by championing balanced budgets and low taxes. • Today, the Liberal Party portrays itself as a party that is fiscally conservative, but socially progressive. They are strongly supportive of abortion rights, gay marriage and ample immigration, but also favor a largely unregulated free market. The Party has moved away from being quite as pro-”big government” as it was in the past.

...Introduction The theology presented by Martin Luther in the sixteenth century greatly influenced the Protestant church reformation. Luther offered several ideas that tried to determine the relationship between the gospel and the law and others that sought to explain justification by faith. Unlike the Christian teachings during his time, Luther affirmed that the Christian righteousness is only acquired from without. He suggested that the righteousness not only comes from Christ but is also Christ’s righteousness that is ascribed to Christians through faith. In this regard, Luther explored the dissimilarities between the righteousness accorded to Christians as a gift through faith and Christian’s own proper righteousness which works in the power of the gift through Jesus to do different works of mercy and love. Consequently, Luther presented a Latin phrase that further described Christian justification, “Simul Justus et Peccator” which is directly interpreted as “simultaneously just and sinners.” Therefore, this paper will explain and evaluate Martin Luther’s ideas of the double righteousness possessed by Christians using his commentaries on Galatians and Romans as well as his 1519 sermon on two kinds of righteousness. Luther’s ideas on Simul Justus et Peccator and Justification Luther’s sermon on the two kinds of righteousness is associated with the reformers belief of salvation and living by faith and not works. The original justice presented by Luther is the alien righteousness...

...While being detained in a Birmingham city jail, amid the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. penned, “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929, King would burgeon into a notable figure, who relentlessly pursued the eradication of ending racial inequalities that plagued the nation during the 1950s and 1960s. King single-handedly dismantled the cornerstone of injustice on which the country was built on, in not only to a response to eight of his fellow clergymen who chastised his rationale regarding protest, but to those of whom also deplored his methods. In a compiled 21 typed pages, that was initially composed on scraps of paper, King seamlessly wove together a riveting piece of literature that captured the essence of his cause for peace and brotherhood. In “Letter from Birmingham Jail,”, written on April 16, 1963, King harnessed the compelling nature of rhetoric while...

He decided to travel around to preach to other people. Making it easier for people to understand that conversion is easier than it looks. He was trying his best to make Christianity a universal religion. He was one of the main founders Christianity movement. Paul ended up being executed in Rome, about middle-68 CE. Historical Significance is that he tested the boundaries back then breaking out of the normal lifestyle and trying to persuade others into following his footsteps. Baghdad Donation of Constantine specifically known for the forgery of the Middle Ages. Reading this I learned that forgery is the intent to deceive. You can technically copy someone’s work or style and not realize you are doing so. What gets artist in trouble is adding fake signatures to pieces of art work. Dating back to the 15th century Lorenzo Valla was demonstrated as the forger. Why it had so much influence in history was that it impacted religious and political affairs in Europe....

...Religion is a set of beliefs brought forth by the existence of a superhuman controlling power (e.g, a God, or gods.). These beliefs can influence the morals and actions of people faithful to a specific belief and bring them together, thus creating a community of like-minded individuals. As such, Religious Intolerance, as opposed to Religious Tolerance, is defined as the expression of fear or unjust prejudice and treatment towards people of a specific religious faith or of different beliefs and values. It is a type of discrimination and is a complex issue that results in many conflicts. I have decided to focus on major inter-faith religious conflicts that have brought about violence. Due to the similar teachings of just moral behavior and values in the different religions, the existence of religion in this world can also be described as a moral restraint against negative actions such as violence, seriously deceptive lying and theft etc. I find it sadly ironic that religion would conversely be one of the contributing factors to conflict and violence in this world. Religious intolerance can be brought about by certain reasons. One reason of inter-faith conflict would be the difference in views and beliefs of different religions. Instead of allowing everyone to follow their own chosen spiritual/religious path (or lack thereof) and having an open mind to accept the differences, certain people try to force their own religious beliefs and actions upon others. An example of one...

...cold that life as we know it today could not exist. Some researchers have been able to track Earth’s glacial deposits to predict just that; a time in which our planet was coated with snow and ice extending from the poles all the way to the equator (Kaufman). We call this period of Earth a “snowball earth.” Scientist Paul Hoffman and his colleagues used Joseph Kirschvink’s suggestion that earth was once completely frozen during the Neoproterozoic period roughly 580-750 million years ago to research glacial deposits. Inherently they found thick deposits of calcium carbonates (cap carbonates) overlaying glaciers suggesting the snowball earth (Hoffman). It is evident in scientific debate that not everyone is able to accept the idea of a frozen Earth as other researchers such as Andrew Knoll and Martin Kennedy have rejected the idea as they pose other solutions for cap carbonate deposits. This is a perfect example of the progress of science as a whole; scientists are constantly making new observations to develop solutions which are then accepted, rejected, and retested by others. The snowball earth hypothesis and controversy together reveals the significance of innovation and scientific debate to the progress of science. The snowball earth hypothesis was first introduced by Joseph Kirschvink after years of other scientists finding peculiar continuous layers of limestone (calcium carbonate rock) or dolostone (magnesian calcium carbonate rock) within other layers of rocks near...

...What in your view was the short-term significance of Cecil Rhodes from 1882 to 1902? Cecil Rhodes was one of the most important figures concerning British Expansion in South Africa during the years of 1882 to 1902. By becoming the prime minister of Cape Colony in 1890 and being one of the founding members of the De Beers company which dominated the world market for diamonds at that time, he played a controversial role in British history. Rhode’s fierce support for British Imperialism can clearly be seen as he envisaged bringing not only of the whole African continent under British Domination but the ultimate recovery of the United States of America to the British Empire. There were literally no limits to Rhode’s ambitions. He was a megalomaniac and this can be seen by his dream of creating the ultimate imperial railway from Cape to Cairo which would bring together all the British colonies in Africa. Firstly Rhode’s was responsible for expanding the British Colony of South Africa northwards from the cape. He was able to conquer many areas mainly using the BSAC (given to him in 1899). What is more Cecil Rhodes was the main catalyst towars many wars and conflicts such as the Battle of Shangani River of 1893 and the catastrophic for the British Second Boer War (also known as the South African war of 1899-1903). Last but not least another short- term significance of Rhodes was the deterioration of the lives of the native Africans through the racist attitudes he cemented during...

...As a result, does metaphor only convey new information on reality? Can metaphor be appreciated as a means of communicative act, by doing things with words? Peter W. Macky endeavors to examine the significance of metaphorical speech acts. He argues that metaphor was essential for the biblical writers both to accomplish their purposes and to communicate effectively.55 He presents seven categories of metaphorical speech act purposes: presentative, expressive, evaluative, performative, exploratory, dynamic (affective, pedagogical, transforming) and relational.56 He asserts that the central purpose of the biblical 53Vanhoozer, Biblical Narrative, 71.

...Yiran Cheng Mr. Schaffer ENG4U1 Monday, April 26, 2016 Critique of 1950 America’s Society in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest In Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the author obvious intention can be easily seen in analogies the author draws. For example, he makes an analogy between the mental institution in the story and a small society, which is the very epitome of that period. He makes an analogy between the patients in the mental institution and the common people in 1950s American society. He also makes an analogy between the nurses and the authorities in mid-twentieth century of America. The rules in the hospital are same as the dogma and law in American society. The common people have to strictly follow the dogmatic rules and the autocracy; freedom does not exist. The patients in the book are like machines. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, using the analogy of a mental institution, suggests that 1950s American society is not free and that people need to rise up to try to change it. Firstly, the Big Nurse’s manipulation and subtle cruelty cannot give enough freedom for the patients. Secondly, the main elements of control are self-inflicted; the fear that holds them down is internal. Thirdly, McMurphy is a messianic figure, and his doom is inevitable. He brings liberation to others, and this is the true meaning to his own life. First, Nurse Ratched’s manipulation and subtle cruelty mirrors discrimination of the era. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the chief...

...Chapter 6-Existential Therapy Introduction Existential therapy is more a way of thinking than any particular style of practicing psychotherapy. It is neither an independent nor separate school of therapy, nor is it a neatly defined model with specific techniques. Existential therapy can best be described as a philosophical approach that influences a counsellor’s therapeutic practice. This approach is grounded on the assumption that we are free and therefore responsible for our choices and actions. The existential approach rejects the deterministic view of human nature espoused by orthodox psychoanalysis and radical behaviourism. Psychoanalysis sees freedom as restricted by unconscious forces, irrational drives and past events. Existential therapists acknowledge some of these facts about the human situation but emphasize our freedom to choose what to make of our circumstances. A major aim of therapy is to encourage clients to reflect on life, to recognize their range of alternatives, and to decide among them. Once clients begin the process of recognizing the ways in which they have passively accepted circumstances and surrendered control, they can start on a path of consciously shaping their own lives. One of the aims of existential therapy is to challenge people to stop deceiving themselves regarding their lack of responsibility for what is happening to them and their excessive demands on life. In existential therapy, attention is given to the clients’ immediate, ongoing experience...
