Nations for their cooperation. (Salomons, 2009) The people of the Stoney Point tribe were promised their land would be returned to them but even long after the war ended and the world moved forward, the land now known as “Camp Ipperwash” was occupied by the government. This is where the situation becomes violent and where I, as a resident of Ipperwash Beach, find myself unsettled and in disbelief. On September 4th 1995, approximately thirty members of the band, accompanied by children, stormed the land in protest. (Salomons, 2009) They originally planned a peaceful protest but what started out as an innocent practice of human rights turned into something problematic for Canada in the years to come. (Salomons, 2009) The then premier, Mike Harris, wanted the protest dealt with quickly and quietly. On September 6th 1995, the Ontario Provincial Police came onto the land during a night raid, which ended in blood spilt and tears shed. During the raid, an unarmed Ojibwa man, Dudley George, was shot dead by an OPP sniper. (Salomons, 2009) It was then know that this sacred land would never be the same again. Dudley George was the first Indigenous man to be killed in a land rights dispute in Canada since the nineteenth century. (Lindin, 2007) The death of George forced Canadians to look further into the rising issues with Aboriginal racism and inequalities in Canada. The Canadian government went under extreme scrutiny as the death was seen as an important public policy issue,…

Giants take in” (qtd. in Strachan). The universities are spending more money on their coaches than professional teams, and the talent is not the same. The schools can cut the salary of their coaches and that money can be used to pay the players. Jahlil Okafor was the freshman starting center for the 2015 National Champion Duke Blue Devils. He was arguably the best player on the team and one of the main reasons the team won the National Championship. He was so skilled that he was drafted…

theology, and charismatic Christianity. Brother Mike and El Shaddai are publicly connected to Roman Catholicism, but El Shaddai is not strictly a Catholic religion. El Shaddai is the start of a whole new type of religion that draws things from several different religions and combines them all into one. The integration of different religions into one can bring people together and make them open and more understanding to trying new things…

Have you seen the word ‘woot’ used by someone online to indicate that they are excited about something? I have, but I have also seen ‘woot’ used as text language, particularly as an acronym for “waste of our time”. The Concise Oxford Dictionary, however, has recently included ‘woot’, defining it as an exclamation of triumph or success (“‘Retweet’ and ‘woot’ Make Oxford Dictionary Debut”, 2011). The word ‘woot’ has been used to express enthusiasm, victory, desire, and irritation in music,…

Though out my time in HDFS 3080, I have caught myself putting the effective interpersonal skills we have learned to use. I am now more conscious about the way I talk to others, and how I formulate responses. I have learned that the effective interpersonal skills I have been taught actually do help me communicate more effectively. In this exercise, I was to choose a relationship partner and engage in a relationship assessment. I chose my boyfriend of 8 years, Hunter. Goal 1: Increase Your Level…

Prosecutor Mike Nifong 's actions in this case were criminal. Nifong used the public press of this case to attempt to further his career and only presented evidence that was beneficial to his agenda. This is an example of criminal mind because he went against ethical morals. Another conclusion that can be seen about criminals is that they are liars. For example, Nifong withheld the DNA tests to his advantage. Another example of criminal behavior is that they are controlling. Nifong attempted to…

It’s five o’clock. My left eye opens. I feel just great! I’m ready to hop out of bed and go on my daily five mile jog. I should probably eat my very favorite Cascadian Farm Granola Cereal first though, to provide some energy for my exceptionally fit body. As I get ready to throw off my covers, all the sudden I hear a repulsive gurgling sound, then I realize it is my own laughter, a result of the amusement I find in my own sarcasm. Even after a full night’s sleep, I feel groggy. Limbs aching…
