    Forty Three men have served as the President of the United States. Each man brought his own ideas, philosophies and ambition to the office. Some of the these gentlemen have been credited with changing the presidency and defining the age, while others have been credited with being helplessly defined by the events of the era in which they held the office. History gives reverence to all of the men who served in what is considered the most powerful position not only in the United States, but also in the world. Perhaps history shows us, that it is not about getting elected to the Presidency that should be applauded, but how one handles the social, political, and economic climate, which he inherits.…

    Position Paper Intro Assignment Greyson Armstrong Although it has morphed and changed over the years, the debate between federalists and sovereignists remains a heated topic with many perspectives and sides weighing in on the issue. This source is a quote from the Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, in the year 1967 about the issue of whether or not the province of Quebec should be considered a nation within the nation state of Canada. Trudeau takes an anti-Quebec nationalist approach onto the issue with his statement that declaring Quebec to be its own nation would be a “hoax” to the citizens of Quebec and Canada, and that if it was declared its own nation that it would bring about the destruction of Canada as a country. His federalistic approach holds prospects of a type of Canadian nationalism that sees Quebec not as a small player in Canada but as a major one,…

    I decided to watch two commercials on Justin Trudeau and I'm actually quite impressed with the idea and message behind both of them. The first commercial I watched was “Escalator-Harder to Get Ahead”. Personally, I found that using the escalator to portray his thoughts was interesting. He stated that Harper is just causing the Canadian economy to move backwards due to the benefits he gives the wealthy and how he gives cuts to everything else. Next, he uses the escalator stopping to show that Mulcair isn't going to get our economy anywhere because he is promising more cuts.…

    The Role of Prime Minster of Canada and the President of the United States Many people think that President of the United States has more power than Prime Minster of Canada. However, when we look at the constitution of both countries, we can see that Prime Minister of Canada has more power in his or her country than President of United States does. When we want to compare and differentiate the power of both Prime Minster of Canada and President of United States, we need to look at their system of Government, roles of both Prime Minster of Canada and President of United States on legislative power, party discipline, appointive power, influence, and military power, and ability to implement their agenda. If we want to know more about the powers and role of Prime Minster of Canada and President of United States, we have to first look at their system of Government.…

    I personally think that the prime minister holds more power than a primer. The prime minister is the head of the government in Canada and with such positions comes great power. First of all, the prime minister is the head of the governing party in the federal legislature, mean while the premier is the equivalent of that, but at a provincial level. This means that the premier is the leader of the government in his province and is also a representative of their province in the federal legislature. At the end of the day the PM is the one who call the shots and leads legislature at a federal level, a position that holds more power that the one the premier holds.…

    One of the biggest questions philosophers are faced with is “How do we know we are conscious or not?”. The question cannot easily be answered know if we aren’t fully aware of consciousness itself. An easy way to interpret this concept is a quote from an Indian philosopher when he made a comparison of an eye not being able to look at itself (Solomon, 2008, p. 19), which means that we can understand the world with the use of it, but we cannot understand consciousness itself. I will argue in this paper that the life-like robot Harold is conscious because he is aware of his own existence and the existence of the world around him. First let me introduce the subject Harold, he is a life-like robot, which looks, acts and responds like an ordinary…
