    This paper will endeavor to apply John Stuart Mill’s model of free speech to a situation brought to the forefront in an episode of TVO’s The Agenda, titled What is Wrong with Mark Steyn? The episode explores the issue of Maclean’s magazine refusing to publish a response to a series of articles by Steyn that were being viewed as hateful, as well as potentially harmful, to Muslim people in Canada. It will be argued that Mill would advocate for Maclean’s to publish a response to Steyn’s hateful speech because, if not challenged and clarified by opposing opinion, such speech could lead to direct harm of Canada’s Muslim population. However, while this paper will generally agree with Mill’s likely position in regards to the free speech issues raised…

    On the 15th of June 2010 David Cameron’s delivered a prepared statement as an apology for the events of Bloody Sunday. A very challenging statement for a conservative PM to make as he had the challenge to make his speech very convincing to two groups of people, at the same time, with very different opinions on this very sensitive issue. This statement is a great example of the benefits of using a scripted language as opposed to spontaneous language. Mr Cameron was able to effectively use rhetorical devices and extended quotations. A spontaneous statement would not have had the same structure as this statement and as a consequence would not be convincing.…

    Moderate news outlets are more likely to not discuss scripture, and if they do, it is usually referring to how a certain terrorist interpreted the scripture for themselves. However, verses from the Bible or other holy books are not mentioned in the media as much as Islamic scripture when justifying terrorism. Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, an associate professor at the University of St. Thomas, found that violence is prevalent and justified many times throughout Abrahamic religious texts. He theorized that the similar presence of a “Deity who uses unfathomable violence to both reward and punish" may explain why Muslim, Christian, and Jewish extremists interpret texts more violently. Pallmeyer further points out an ironic fact that the public and media…

    Sikhs are one of the brown, dark skinned people who have been the targets of anti-Muslim hate crimes. They have been misunderstood because of their beard and turban.

    In “Blanket condemnations,” Erum Hasan (2010) claims the discussion involving the burqa ban is being incorrectly addressed, with activists from different realms focusing on actions that prohibit this attire rather than discussing the Muslim women’s rights. Using an anecdote, Hasan introduces the discomfort and repudiation that a woman wearing a burqa can cause in the Western society. Notwithstanding, she declares this vesture is demonized by the West, being considered a symbol of Islam and consequently an outrage to non-Muslim realms. Mentioning countries which adopted decrees against the burqa, Hasan illustrates the political actions that are being taken worldwide, with governments dictating how their citizens should wear; such actions are…

Similar to the martyrdom of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Perpetua, and Felicity, Saint Polycarp exemplified themes of Liturgy, veneration of the martyrs, and imitation of Christ. However, the narrative of Polycarp’s martyrdom…

    Having survived a drastic fighting, the soldiers emerge back and refill their lungs with peaceful air, saying nothing about the comrades who passed away. It is via the DEATH IS DEPARTURE metaphor that we interpret the linguistic expression "went under" as referring to the death of the soldiers and their descent into the underworld, which is further reinforced through a combination of the conceptual metaphor DEATH IS DOWN that is based on the VERTICALITY schema, and which is called up via the adverb "under." But why do they keep silent about their fellow soldiers that "went under"? Could it be that they feel guilty for BEING PRESENT HERE when others are gone? Or could it be that the departure of dear ones is bigger than words?…
