It is genuine the history of law offers us an understanding of how the law evolves with time and space. Both the source of narcotics legislation and Kathryn Burn’s article (Notaries, Truth, and the Consequences) help us flesh out our understanding of sources of legal philosophy. Also, both examples somehow go beyond the traditional roots of law (Statutes, case law, custom, books of authority). As Canadians, we need to know that these traditional roots of law stem from various European system by…

having been profoundly involved in both (Mack, 2010). An immigration of Japanese to Brazil started officially when the first ship Kasato Maru landed in the port of Santos in June 1908 (Sasaki, 2006). The beginning of a Japanese era in Brazil was influenced by two significant waves of immigration. During the first period 1908-1941, the reception and processing centres registered some 190,000 people as new arrivals from Japan. In the second, post-war era from 1952 to 1979, the number neared fifty…

The modern Olympics was also progressively becoming shaped by economic interests as shown by documents 5, 7, and 9. The Olympics offered the prospect of great economic prosperity and commercial gain to companies that sponsored them and to countries that hosted them. The mayor of Tokyo, Ryotaro Azuma, explains in document 5 that the Olympic Games of 1964, which Japan hosted, helped the country recover economically from their defeat in World War II and eventually grow as a world trade power. This…

The Nickelodeon Theaters are significant to the evolution of American popular culture because they allowed Americans to experience modernity, and facilitated the formation of a national identity by transcending race and class lines. The theater served as an arena to disseminate cultural ideology to a diverse group of individuals, comprised of immigrants, the working class and American youth. The large scope of the theaters aided in consolidating the different cultural norms that separated rural…

Pablo Picasso: The Greatest Artist of the 20th Century For the astonishing stylistic width and intellectual depth displayed in his artworks, Pablo Ruiz Picasso was, without any doubt, one of the greatest, most controversial, and influential visual artist of the 20th century. During the several significant stylistic shifts Picasso went through—most notably the Blue Period, Rose Period, Cubist Period, African Period, and Surrealist Period—Picasso explored the emotionally provocative power of…

SIMON WIESENTHAL 1908-2005 At the end of World War II, thousands of Nazis who participated in the systematic murder of some 6,000,000 Jews and millions of Gypsies, Poles and other "inferior" peoples, slipped through the Allied net and escaped to countries around the globe, where many still live in freedom. Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Nazi death camps, dedicated his life to documenting the crimes of the Holocaust and to hunting down the perpetrators still at large. "When history looks…

the thought of having offenders treated and greeted with harsh consequences eased the minds of many people during the 1908’s. Not only did the justice system have boot camps, but schools also ran boot camps for those children who broke the school rules. since the late 1990’s the popularity of boot camps have become less entertainable because we have strengthened our juvenile…

“Congo is now total horror story, for years.” This is what Noam Chomsky, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, said after the murder of Patrice Lumumba, former Prime Minister of the DRC, on January the 17th 1961. Unfortunately, he saw right. Since a few decades now, it has been widely observed that the Democratic Republic of Congo, a Central African developing country and former Belgian colony, has been the stage of great instability; and notably massive human…

that come to life. Like The Enchanted Drawing, it's a fun little diversion that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Obviously, it's a bit crude by today's standards, but it's definitely entertaining. Moving forward a couple years to 1908, we see the first film using "traditional animation" methods, a French film called…
