Lincoln
Lincoln did not initially see himself as an abolitionist, believing that slavery was constitutionally protected but morally wrong. He advocated colonization of freed slaves as a solution. However, the Emancipation Proclamation, issued during the Civil War, declared the emancipation of slaves in rebel states as a military necessity. Though limited, it marked a turning point in ending slavery and helped undermine the Confederacy.
Social Media For The Social Good
Social media can be an effective tool for social good if used strategically. While consumers place more trust in friends' recommendations over advertising, information on social media must be properly aggregated and ensure user privacy. Effective social media engagement includes meeting audiences on their preferred networks, participating in conversations without policing, and focusing on self-help through applications, pages, and groups. Evaluation of social media efforts is challenging as outcomes are difficult to measure and isolate from other simultaneous media usage.

Chinese & islamic contributions to global civilization en
The document discusses the contributions of Chinese and Islamic civilizations to global development. It notes that China was a leader in many fields, including agriculture, astronomy, engineering, and medicine, until around 1200 AD. Many key inventions originated in China and spread to other parts of the world through trade and the translation of knowledge, facilitated by Islam. The document discusses several important figures, including Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqās, one of the earliest converts to Islam who led an envoy to China in 651 AD and is buried there. It outlines the transmission of knowledge from China to Europe over centuries and the role of the Islamic Golden Age from 750-1258 AD in advancing knowledge in many fields.
City Structure and the Shape of Community 2018 12 08
An exploration of East-West urban spatial order and the transition in China from an extended family compound (the courtyard house) to a multi-family self-administered compound (modern housing estate); from an extended family community to an urban residential community.:
The courtyard is a deep-seated Eastern pattern, that is persisting and re-appearing - at a larger scale and higher density - in the residential compounds that are the basic building blocks of China’s recent urban explosion. The social scale has also expanded. The courtyard house was originally designed for the extended family; the new residential compound courtyards are for a neighbourhood, an emerging and increasingly self-managed urban territory and social unit.
China Resources and Potentialities
China Resources and Potentialities:
An Exploration of a statement attributed to Abdul-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith:
“China has the most great capability. The Chinese people are most simple-hearted and truth-seeking…Truly, I say, the Chinese are free from any deceit and hypocrisies and are prompted with ideal motives. China is the country of the future."
And another statement by Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of Abdu'l-Baha:
“China, a land which has its own world and civilization, whose people (in 1923) constitute one-fourth of the population of the globe, which ranks foremost among all nations
in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities, and whose future is assuredly bright."
Some Social Aspects of Sustainability 2015 01 16
This document discusses some social aspects of sustainability. It begins by noting that while sustainability is often discussed in terms of architecture, planning, construction, and tourism, it also has important social dimensions that are sometimes overlooked. These include socio-economic and equity considerations.
It then discusses criteria for sustainable development in both outer and inner cities, including mixed-use development, public transportation, green infrastructure, net zero energy/water communities, and agriculture integrated into outer city communities. For inner cities, it lists ongoing capacity building, empowered individuals and communities working together, and institutions that enable meaningful participation.

Some Social Aspects of Sustainability
16 January 2015
The Baha’i Mashriqu’l-Adhkar, Precedents, and Urban Planning Implications
An introduction to the Baha’i Mashriqu’l-Adhkar, an institution designed by Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, as a collective center of society. It is composed of educational, scientific, cultural and humanitarian centers, as well as administrative offices, clustered around a central temple. The design sets up symbiotic relationships between its component parts and allows spiritual energy to be translated into acts of service. Some historical precedents are presented, followed by a tentative exploration of the implications of this institution for future urban planning.
The Chinese Way of Building Cities: City Structure and the Shape of Community
This document summarizes a lecture given at Tianjin University on the Chinese way of building cities. It discusses research done at McGill University comparing urban structure in Beijing and Montreal at the scale of one square kilometer. The research looks at density, land use, street networks, and block sizes. In Beijing, land is divided into large mixed-use residential compounds, while Montreal has lower densities and more separation of uses. The lecture explores how these differences shape urban form and community life.
Beijing China Courtyard House 2017 02 22
The Chinese Courtyard House
Joe Carter, a graduate of the School of Architecture, McGill (1972) lived in China (mostly in Beijing) for thirty years (1985-2015). This presentation is in five parts, and discusses the Chinese courtyard house primarily in the context of Beijing.
Part 1 is a brief introduction at the typology and construction of the courtyard house.
Part 2 introduces some of the cultural, cosmological underpinnings of the Chinese courtyard house and its city setting.
Part 3 looks at the above patterns as an urban spatial order.
Part 4 describes some of the efforts at preservation and regeneration in old Beijing.
Part 5 proposes that the courtyard is a deep-seated Eastern pattern, that is persisting and re-appearing - at a larger scale and higher density - in the residential compounds that are the basic building blocks of China’s recent urban explosion. The courtyard house was originally designed for the extended family; the new residential compound courtyards are for the neighbourhood, an emerging and increasingly self-managed urban territory and social unit.

The Regeneration of Old Residential Districts in Beijing (in Chinese)
A Ph.D. thesis written in 1992, in Chinese, by He Hong Yu about the regeneration of hutong residential areas of the old city of Beijing. Although she was trained as an architect, the author's treatment of the topic is comprehensive, and spans not only planning and design issues, but social, economic and administrative factors as well.
Inuit and Canada's Ocean Management
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, and decreasing levels of stress hormones. Meditation has also been shown to improve focus and concentration while boosting mood.
广厦：中国与新世界秩序秩序研究
我们所在的社会正在从家族、部落、国家逐步演化到达一个世界共 同体。无论是否意识到，我们都在为创造这一全球大家庭而努力着。全球化标志着我们已经开始进入人类向往已久的成熟阶段。这已经不再是一个梦想。实际上，人类社会是否能健康生存下去，取决于我们是否能建立一个世界新秩序。
如果中国在创造物质、文化和精神方面都有着丰富的潜在资源，那 么深入全面地理解中国的成熟过程与潜在贡献就是很重要的，它会有益于我们面对人类向成熟期发展所遇到的挑战。
这样一个画面呈现在大家面前：当我们对现代化的定义越多地包含了对精神发展的重视（不仅仅着重于物质发展），中国对此的潜在贡献就越明显。
本书包含了我本人的一些想法，同时汇集了他人对于这个题目的论述。我希望本书与我们置身其中的生活一样，日后还有机会不断地丰富、修正和完善之。
China & the New World Order
The next logical step in our social evolution from family, to tribe, to city, to nation, is a world commonwealth of nations. Consciously or unconsciously, humanity has been engaged in an endeavour to create this world community.
Globalization is a sign that we are entering our long-awaited
stage of maturity. We are arriving at what has been variously called the New World Order, the Omega Point, the Global Village, Tian Xia Yi Jia (All Under Heaven One Family), the Grand Synthesis, the Kingdom of God on Earth, and so on;
It is no longer just a dream; the survival of the human race, in
fact, depends on constructing this New World Order.
If China is rich in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities; then it is important to understand China's maturation process and potential contributions as we face the challenges of the adult stage of our collective life. This book contains my thoughts, and references to those of others, collected so far, exploring this theme.
A picture emerges; the more the definition of modernization
and prosperity includes spiritual development - as well as material - the more the collective endeavour humanity faces seems feasible, and the more apparent will China's potential contributions be.
宗教和可持续发
This paper (in Chinese) focuses on the spiritual challenges threatening China’s social sustainability and the need for a modern belief system. These challenges have come to light through the recent decades of emphasis on material development, and from China’s integration into a rapidly globalizing world.

Daoist Learning Center (1)
This small book is the result of a two week exercise to introduce students to the richness and depth of thought contained in the Dao De Jing, the primary text of Daoism. This small volume is said to contain, by some scholars, the cultural genes of China. The students were invited to a select a few passages that interested them and then express their understandings in a non-verbal form. The understanding thus gained were applied to the assignment for the remainder of the term, the design of a Daoist Learning Center in the hills north of Beijing, near the Great Wall. See Daoist Learning Center (2)

ONE SQ. KM. / SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
This book records the exploration by our seminar group at McGill University School of Architecture: Course Arch 540, Selected Topics, Winter Term, 2015.
We studied aspects of social sustainability and how they might impact physical planning and design. In particular, we looked at the question of civic and community centers as nodes and support for community life.
This book is a loose collection of parts: a compilation, research papers, preliminary efforts at a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) design, and notes of discussions. It’s a record that students, and others, could use in future research. We recommend reading it in conjunction with last term’s book, “One Sq. KM: A comparative Study Using Sustainability Criteria”. Joe Carter
Daoist Learning Center (2)
Twelve proposals for a Daoist Learning Center for a site just north of the Great Wall were designed by students in a design class at the McGill University School of Architecture in the Winter Term of 2015. This slide show contains selections from their work. The class was led by Joe Carter and He Hong Yu, architects from Beijing, China. The results of an exercise to immerse ourselves in the Daoist text, the Dao De Jing, can be seen in "Daoist Learning Center (1)".
The Needs of Our Age: Chinese and Baha'i Viewpoints
This presentation explores and compares the Chinese and Baha'i viewpoints on the needs of our age: in particular the need to enlarge our consciousness and our allegiance to include the whole planet; and the need to build a global community that is both materially and spiritually advanced, and that draws on all of our collective heritage.
One Sq.Km.: A Beijing - Montreal Comparison
This book, made by students at the McGill School of Architecture in the fall of 2014, compares the urban form of Beijing and Montreal. The comparison is on the basis of sustainability criteria: population and building density, street network, land-use mix, streetscape, walkability, development pattern, and community. The work was guided by Joe Carter and He Hong Yu, visiting Sheff professors.
Sheff Lecture by Joe Carter 2014_11_24
Sheff Lecture presented by Joe Carter at McGill University, School of Architecture, on November 24, 2014.
