Would one rather be employed and reap the personal benefits, or would one perhaps prefer to find alternative sources of lower income if it meant a better life for some of his fellow country-men? This question is one of the core concepts presented in the arguments both for and against the use of cheap labour in developing countries, respectively. Both "In Praise of Cheap Labor" by Paul Krugman, and "Why Economists Are Wrong about Sweatshops and the Antisweatshop Movement" authored by John Miller,…

ranked the value of African-Americans lower than Caucasians. This was a very spiteful move towards the Africvilleans in the community. Lastly, in the 1960s, many white Halifax residents referred to Africville as a “slum built around the dump by scavengers” (Jon Tattrie, 2014) .Although Africvilleans found their community as a haven from anti-black racism, they were still called a “slum” by other white communities. The city of Halifax was to blame for creating the impression that Africville was…

The term “evolution” conjures the image of a single-celled amoeba’s gradual progression and eventual formation into a multicellular organism. This process occurs over a period of time when organisms undergo a variety of hurdles which may alter their biological and chemical structures to differentiate them from another species. Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory pioneered the idea that life had a common origin from which species arose from. In one of his famous works, “On the…

Confirmation Retreat Some of the most unforgettable moments in my life lies within this event called the Confirmation retreat. In Catholicism, a "retreat" means spending time to connect with God. This retreat was a trip required by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine: Assumption of Mary church. My classmates and I had to attend this retreat in order to receive our Confirmation sacrament, one out of the seven sacraments that are required in a Catholic 's life. In Confirmation, one is blessed…

How Time Fly’s For me, it has always been easy to loose myself in a drawing. Almost similar to a scavenger hunt I search for every detail to make the drawing come to life. Often I will lose track of time that seems to pass around me in a flash. For the past few years I have been working diligently to improve my art skills. So far I have noticed numerous growth, but I’m not content. The biggest competition I had known at the time has been at the Washington Parish Free Fair, an annual event of…

INTRODUCTION In this report, I present a summary of five major arthropod groups. The three groups chosen for this report are Trilobitomorpha, Crustacea and Insecta. Like my previous report, I have organized this report to provide a general summary of these groups, and also to examine a number of fossil specimens belonging to each group. For each group, ten specimens belonging to a specific sub-group (and a specific stratigraphic range when possible) were selected from the GB3D Type Fossils…

Calliphoridae, may seem filthy (and they actually are), yet they are actually quite useful. The word ‘’Blow fly’’ comes from an olden English adage for meat that had their eggs laid on it, called ‘’fly blown’’. Aptly named as the maggots of blowflies are scavengers of carrion and dung. The meat which has blowfly larvae on it appears to be blown…
