She became one of few female teachers during a time when the profession was heavily male dominated. Barton also worked…

In the Nicomachean ethics, Aristotle discusses virtue ethics and becoming a virtuous person. He explains how having virtue means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, in the right amount, towards the right people. It is safe to categorize Colin Kaepernick as a virtuous person for being a genuinely benevolent and honest man. Kaepernick’s failure to stand while the national anthem was playing can be validated as appropriate behavior through virtue ethics. “A courageous person…

If you sought revenge, would you feel better? Would all your hatred and anger towards that person be resolved? Revenge is defined as “The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone in return for a wrong suffered at their hands.” It gives the person satisfaction from being able to cause pain to the person who had originally hurt them either physically or emotionally. Therefore, the question I have to ask everyone is, what do you think revenge achieves for a person? Only with knowledge about…

I can remember every aspect of the day in Brazil when I discovered my best friend had died due to an unidentified illness. I will never forget the day a week prior that members of the community and I were informed that we had the opportunity to provide Guilherme with the blood that he urgently required to survive. The notion that blood was not readily available as it is in my home country was an inconceivable concept to me as an American, a citizen of the developed world. It is because of my…

The first primary source under study is an extract from the Report of the select committee on criminal laws. This committee was set up in 1819 by the House of Commons and was expected to publish a report on the state of…

oppressive cultures. Hence the savior narrative, in which third world people do not know what is beneficial and right for them and need foreign individuals to inform them. To quote Elora Halim Chowdhury, the US has stationed itself as a “beacon of humanitarianism” (Chowdhury, p. 60), and this can be taken note of in Harry Truman’s inaugural speech, where he implores his fellow Americans to “relieve the suffering of these people” (Library of Congress, p. 242). Some points raised in the class…

“What do you mean?” Cross asked the man as he looked to see if Galius wore or held in his hand something that this man might want but he saw nothing unusual about his friend. Ignoring Cross, the stranger continued his conversation with Galius. “I’m sure you won’t understand how you will die, however, you do have the right to know why. I, Galius, am a collector of souls and your soul is the quintessence of the fifth and highest element after the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water, and…

The following analysis will examine the roles and obligations of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) by outlining different options in assisting the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in order to end the existing conflict and build a long-term sustainable peace.
