Baskin states that the oppression of First Nations, as a result of colonization, exist to feed White privilege, a system that maintains domination above First Nations people (cite). For this reason, Baskin advocates the adoption of an Aboriginal perspective, understanding that accommodating structural social work to the Aboriginal’s belief systems encourages healthy community development among Aboriginal peoples. An Aboriginal…

proof that our ideas and sense-created images of the world actually depict what exists in reality, if we want to have any certainty of it. Descartes claims to have a clear and distinct idea of God. This God is “all-powerful, perfect and infinite” (cite). He suggests that God has endowed him with the ability to know the reality of the world by reflecting on his reason. The reality of the world consists…

Chinese philosopher Xunzi came to about human nature was that “human nature is bad.” (Cite) In other words, he believed that humans are inherently selfish, and must put effort into repressing their selfish nature to achieve any sense of 'goodness'. The evil in humans will lead to chaos and violence if left unchecked, and only by following external teaching and ritual can humanity be brought to order and civilization. (Cite) I disagree with this conclusion on the basis that people, while born…

Epigenetics refers to stable changes in gene expression that are mediated by altered structure of chromosomes without modification of DNA sequence (cite.) According to this hypothesis, severe stress triggers changes in the chromatin structure of vulnerable individuals, which drive sustained changes in gene expression that contribute to episodes of depression (cite). An outcome of this hypothesis is that such stress-induced epigenetic modifications also occur early in life and help determine an…

With gym class seeming pointless to many it leads many to want to skip it entirely. (cite) Which my schools and many others offer to students who are part of two school sport teams. These influenced students to think physical education was more for getting people to do physical activity and doesn’t show the why and how to build healthy fitness habits. Many students on the sports teams in school didn’t want to play games in class seeing how student participation wasn’t always guaranteed. This…

had no idea about how fire actually effects the forest. It was a great experience where I learned both the pros and cons of fire in the forest. I also was able to see the difference between burn only, a harvest and thinning due to the experimental cites at trail of tears. I also learned about the experimental watersheds and how certain aspects play into erosion. It was a very interesting learning experience. We first learned how trail of tears was part of the Ozark hills, primary composed of…

targets were drug king pins (Race and the War on Drugs, 2007). But over the past quarter century drug arrest have tripled, and almost half a million women are behind bars for drug-related offenses (CITE), which means the women population in state and federal prions has been growing due to the War on Drugs (Cite). This paper will focus on what the war on drugs policy was about. The…

are put in place to limit the accessibility and use of government assistance (CITE: the effects of TANF). Likewise, TANF time limits stop families from receiving long term support even when it’s desperately needed. Those who leave the welfare system due to reaching their time limits are more likely to still be underemployed, undereducated and facing only slightly improved conditions than when they were in the program (CITE: results are more mixed, effects of time limits, work activity).…

during the war. Introduction: The German Peasants War was inspired by changes in Europe as a result of the Reformation. The Reformation began on October 31, 1517 when Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany (CITE). In disagreement with the sale of indulgences, Luther commented on the theology of the Catholic Church. As stated in the Britannica…
