The power belonging to the judicial branch to hold Congress and other branches, accountable for unconstitutional acts is called judicial review. Coming about as a result of the Marbury v. Madison case of 1803, having been established by John Marshall, the policy still remains relevant today. Essentially, if a state were to make a law(s) that limited the rights of a certain group of people, such as in the Brown v. Board of Education case, the Supreme Court has the right to deem it…

the modules presented in our class. Today, I would like to reply to a video I have seen posted on a friend’s Facebook wall. The video was created by Lauren Southern, a very outspoken anti-feminist. Currently living in Langley, she is part of the Libertarian Party and has studied Political Science at the University of the Fraser Valley. She became famous after posting a photo of herself holding a piece of paper stating that she does not need feminism, for the reasons that males are also…

In the articles, “What You Eat Is Your Business" and “Don’t Blame the Eater” authors Radley Balko and David Zinczenko present strong but differing view points regarding the growing concern related to obesity. While also bringing forth opinions on whether American policymakers are over involved or under involved.

One of the most current controversial issues is gun control. On January 7, 2016 President Barack Obama made an executive order to improve gun safety. He has now made it impossible to purchase any type of gun without a background…

Fate, Destiny, and You: Assessment Paper In class we watched the film The Adjustment Bureau and in this film there was many instances that challenged free will with determinism. It’s very hard to not think about fate and destiny. There are many ways to answer what exactly our destiny is. God knows our future and it already exists, and there is nothing we can do to change that. This is the theological challenge to freedom, it means that if an absolutely perfect god knows the future, presumably…

In America, a liberal arts degree seems to be such a demand. High schoolers are pressured to apply to many different colleges and pick a high paying/achieving degree that takes at least four years to achieve. But if you dig a little deeper into why college seems to be so important, is it really necessary to go to college for four years? Will a liberal arts degree actually benefit you and worth the years it takes it attain one? The articles “The New Liberal Arts” by Sanford J. Ungar and “Are Too…

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the presidential election have been getting a lot of attention because of how much seems to be at stake. However, a large shift in the white house isn't the only thing at stake. This election year, there are also 24 republican seats which are up for reelection. Given that there is only an 8 seat differential between the parties, there is a potential that the Democrats could once again hold a majority in the senate. Of all the senate seats up for reelection,…

an infant, therefore, he grew up an only child. He learned to read, write and the concepts of math at the Grammar School in Thetford. He was thirteen years old when his father taught him the trade of corset making. Showing even then his fierce libertarian streak he, ran away from home and literally ran through a series of jobs in England.
