briefly describe the possible social impact of “Romeo and Juliet” story on the issue of breaking taboos in a society. At the very beginning of the story, Shakespeare describes the conflict between two families and the situation on how Romeo and Juliet first meet each other. Despite Juliet is young with not sufficient life experience, she aimed to follow her heart rather than following the norms of her society. If we analyze the story in depth we can conclude that she proclaimed her anger to this…

Chinese immigrants had always been unwelcome to Canada for more than 150 years. The first Chinese settlers came to Canada in 1858 to pan for gold in British Columbia.

The first anti-Chinese rule was a fifty dollar head tax on every Chinese person entering Canada. The conditions were far worse in China so people preferred to immigrate and pay the…

What does the current model of Indigenous “self-government” in Canada offer to First Nations? Using an example (such as Nunavut), examine the pros and cons of this model and how this does/does not provide an opportunity for First Nations to become healthy, sustainable, and self-sufficient.

Because of that, she was unable to write her name and definitely could not write sentences. She had a lot to learn. By the end of the year, she was able to read…
