    peacekeeping abroad is able to express the values of their country. Through the years in past recognition, Lester B. Pearson was a well-known advocator in the promotion of peace and security during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Canada’s political views were greatly dominated by Great Britain, but in the event of the Suez Crisis, Pearson allowed Canada’s views to undergo a transition that was promoting the interests of Canada and our urge to act on the international scale (Carroll, 2009). Through Pearson’s ability to establish the United Nations Emergency Force to resolve the conflict of the Suez Crisis and earn a Nobel Peace Prize for these initiatives, Canada was taken to the center stage and was officially viewed as a peacekeeper (Carroll, 2009).…

    This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently.

This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…

    To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…

He claims in his opening statements that he will show reasons why theists should be miserable just because they are theists (1).…
