In discussions about social progress, controversial issues have been brought up that question the morality of disobedience in achieving a desired effect. While disobedience has a large aspect in promoting social progress, I would argue that disobedience when not justified by logical reasoning is simply destructive because it disturbs society for no valid purpose. Looking at history, Oscar Wilde categorizes disobedience as a valuable virtue in man’s nature that promotes social progress. It is…

Since the split up of the Soviet Union in the early 90's, Russia has been fighting to claim back many of its old territories in Asia, Europe and the Far North. The world has seen this in March's annexation of Crimea, and multiple invasions of Ukraine and Georgia in the last two years. What the world hasn't seen, however, is the military movements that Russia has kept under wraps since: the militarization and potential annexation of Arctic seas and lands. These claims and occupations of UN…

Discoveries would not be as rewarding today, without the curiosity and effort put into decoding them. Human curiosity is the sole reason we are atop the food chain as a species. We have the ability to push the envelope of reality to open new outlooks. It is human nature to explore and question the ideas as to why we have arrived on the earth in the way we have. For hundreds of years, humans have questioned the ideas and methods for why we do this in this way and why certain things react in the…

This would be good for our school because it would help many teachers and students. With this elevator, injured students can go upstairs and downstairs safely.In fact, some kids who go to this…

Amica has inquired as to whether it has a duty to defend Gil against the allegations made by Ellina in her complaint. Notably, even if Amica is not ultimately obligated to indemnify the insured, it may still be obligated to defend him in a lawsuit. See Walk v. Hartford Cas. Ins. Co., 382 Md. 1, 15 (2004) (“[A]n insurer’s duty to defend is distinct conceptually from its duty to indemnify, i.e. its obligation to pay a judgment.”). The duty to defend the insured is critically distinguishable from…

The Controversy of Individualism Individualism is a complicated thing; it exists in a fragile state, constantly teetering between a virtue and something no one wants to have. Society often preaches that being a unique individual is what a person should strive to be -- however, the line between being an individual and being isolated is blurry. Often times, when people embrace their distinctiveness, they are ostracized. Individualism can morph into competitiveness, conflict, or can be interpreted…

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the new Sex-Ed curriculum that Ontario revealed in 2015.
