Sharon’s drug addiction began at the age of 22. She started drinking alcohol at parties, not thinking of its future consequences. Drugs soon replaced the alcohol and began using marijuana. She thought it of no harm to her because she did not consider it a “hard” drug like cocaine or morphine. Although she swore to herself to never use such drugs, Sharon soon started using crack cocaine to deal with her personal and family problems. To fund her drug addiction, she worked as a prostitute and a…

Success is quite a relative term, and there are so many different things that matter in defining success in someone's life.

prove I am competent in conflict management. My response using the STAR format will be as follows: S (Situation): My roommate was eating my specialty candies that I have been buying for myself. I am infatuated with these candies and I must drive to Calgary to buy them because they are so rare. I could not hide the candies from my roommate because they need to be refrigerated…

Impartial Immigration Laws The immigration laws of Canada and India are truly fair. The only con is that they both have long immigration processes. Although, now Canada has released a new program called the Express Entry and India has released a new program called Visa on Arrival. Both speed up the long immigration process for certain people. Canada’s immigration laws weren’t fair in the past because they discriminated against many communities; surprisingly, Canada now has one of the best set…

While recently looking up Canadian laws, Animal Rights popped up and seemed very intriguing. From thereon, the Dog Owners Liability Act surfaced and it states “The owner of a dog is liable for damages resulting from a bite or attack by the dog on another person or domestic animal.” This law does make sense that the owner should take the responsibility of their dog because they were the ones who raised the dog to be the way it is but the one sub issue found with this law is the Pit Bull Ban. The…

Through walking the plus 15 system it was clear that it was a very inclusive and discriminating environment. This contradicts the City of Calgary’s definition of the walkway where they say that its “a public pedestrian walkway system that … provides alternative routes for pedestrians to numerous and varied destinations”.

This project is inspired by a turning point of my life. Last September, I moved to Canada for studying MFA program. I greeted this new life experience through changing my hairstyle before the day I took a flight to Calgary —— I had my long hair cut in barbers so that I can have a new image for next stage of life. I suppose it is interesting to embody the invisible life experience change in a visible body appearance change, because, personally, I treated my long hair as an accumulation of the…

into an accident. Installing different tires for the winter would help a great deal in getting the grip while driving. Why new tires for the winter? During winter, snow fills most part of the road, especially when it snows heavily in Alberta or Calgary. This is one time of the year when the winter tires sale goes up than the other times. People driving cars are advised to change tires for the…

Alberta fell into a recession and over 12000 people lost their jobs (Calgary Herald, para. 1). People questioned the stability of the economy leading to a decline of building permits by an astounding 22% from the previous year (Statistics Canada, Residential construction). Pro Force responded by emphasizing their ability to…
