Human traffic (1)
Human trafficking involves deceiving people and moving them between countries against their will for forced labor or services, often taking their documents. It preys on those facing economic hardship, disasters, violence or lack of education. Solutions include educating people on risks, increasing economic opportunities for vulnerable groups, and strengthening laws against traffickers.
The Ethics of Eating Animals
The document discusses several common defenses that meat eaters use to justify eating animals, such as arguing it is natural or part of their culture. It then summarizes Peter Singer's argument that we should give equal consideration to the interests of all living things, and not discriminate based on species. The document also discusses Michael Pollan's analysis of the issues with industrial animal agriculture, such as the inhumane conditions and treatment of animals. Pollan argues for reforming these practices by increasing transparency around farm conditions.
Death
Political corruption has damaged society instead of cultivating an educated public. Leaders prioritize power over people, undermining justice and progress. We must reform politics to serve humanity through knowledge and moral purpose rather than self-interest.

A Look at Organic
This document summarizes perspectives on organic versus conventional farming from interviews with farmers and experts. Hans McPherson operates a "hybrid organic" farm that uses herbicides sparingly but focuses on soil health through cover crops and manure fertilizer. Jennifer Holmes of Lifeline Dairy uses organic and biodynamic practices to maintain soil and animal health long-term by avoiding pesticides and focusing on mechanical weed control. Both emphasize the importance of cover crops and soil biodiversity for healthy soil that can sustain crops without chemical dependence. Research also shows organic methods increase soil nutrients and yields over time compared to conventional methods.

Synthetic Turf or Natural Grass Final Paper
This document compares synthetic turf and natural grass athletic fields. It provides a history of both surfaces, including the evolution of synthetic turf from hard indoor carpets to more natural feeling fibers. The costs, maintenance requirements, installation processes, injury risks, and current professional field surfaces are examined. Interviews with groundskeeping and athletic professionals provide additional perspective. Synthetic turf has higher injury risks but lower maintenance costs, while natural grass has higher maintenance but lower initial and long-term costs. The conclusion recommends considering climate, budget, injury prevention, aesthetics, and location to determine the best surface for each program's specific needs and values.

15º Encontro os Milagres de Jesus
Os milagres que Jesus realizava eram sinais do começo do Reino de Deus. Eram expressão do Seu amor pela humanidade e corroboravam o Seu envio. [547-550]
Os milagres de Jesus não eram uma auto-afirmação mágica. Ele estava cheio do poder amoroso de Deus que cura e salva. Através de milagres mostrou que era o Messias e que o Reino de Deus começava n’Ele. O amanhecer do novo mundo tornou-se patente quando Ele libertou da fome (Jo 6,5-15), da injustiça (Lc 19,8), da doença e da morte (Mt 11,5). Com a expulsão dos demónios teve início o triunfo contra o «príncipe deste mundo» (ou seja, Satanás: Jo 12,31). Não obstante, Jesus não suprimiu do mundo toda a desgraça e todo o mal. Ele dedicou especial atenção à libertação do ser humano da escravidão do pecado; importou-Se sobretudo com a fé, que Ele suscitou através dos milagres. -> 241-242

ENG3317_RhetoricalTheory_ideological_analysis_of_aids_memorial_quilt
This document provides an analysis of the ideological underpinnings of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It began in 1987 as a way to memorialize those who had died of AIDS, mainly gay men, but has since expanded to represent over 91,000 people from all demographics affected by the disease. The quilt challenged the dominant ideology at the time that viewed AIDS as only a "gay disease" and used the traditional symbolism of quilts to transform the understanding of AIDS in American society and demand greater political recognition and support for all people affected.
Mad Bear
This document provides a summary of key events and themes in chapters 9-15 of the biography "Mad Bear" about a Native American medicine man. It discusses his spiritual beliefs and prophetic visions. It also highlights themes of environmentalism, peaceful cultural coexistence, and the misrepresentation of Native Americans by Euro-Americans. The medicine man advocates for protecting sacred lands from mining and respects all peoples and cultures living together in harmony.
Jack oughton + osian jones eugenics presentation
The document discusses the history of eugenics from ancient times to the modern era. It describes early influences like Plato advocating selective breeding and the Spartans inspecting infants. In the 19th century, Francis Galton coined the term "eugenics" and advocated encouraging reproduction among those deemed genetically superior. In the 20th century, the Nazis directly applied eugenic principles leading to mass human rights violations. While selective breeding of animals continues, applying eugenics to humans remains controversial due to ethical issues.
Darwin's Evil Legacy
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.

Paul Hawken's Commencement Address, Univ of Portland 2009
Paul Hawken gave a commencement address to the graduating class of 2009 at the University of Portland. He told the graduates that they will have to figure out what it means to be human on Earth as the planet's living systems decline rapidly. The Earth needs a new operating system and they are the programmers that must create it within a few decades. Hawken stated that humanity is working through millions of organizations to address the most pressing issues like climate change and they form the largest social movement ever seen, aiming to restore the planet and lives of the poor through connection rather than control. Working for the Earth is a way to be truly rich.

Option #1: James Baldwin and Aime Cesaire: Metaphors of Affliction
“A universal regression takes place, a gangrene sets in, a center of infection begins to spread… a poison has been distilled into the veins of Europe” (“Discourse on Colonialism,” 29).
“It was the Lord who knew of the impossibility every parent in that room faced: how to prepare the child for the day when the child would be despised and how to create in the child—by what means?—a stronger antidote to this poison than one had found for oneself” (“Notes of a Native Son,” 14).
“One is always in the position of having to decide between amputation and gangrene” (“Notes of a Native Son,” 18).
Option #2: Edward Said and Moustafa Bayoumi: Discourse and Policy
“Orientalism can be discussed and analyzed as the corporate institution for dealing with the Orient—dealing with it by making statements about it, authorizing views of it, describing it, by teaching it, settling it, ruling over it” (“Orientalism,” 11).
“My contention is that without examining Orientalism as a discourse one cannot possibly understand the enormously systematic discipline by which European culture was able to manage—and even produce—the orient” (“Orientalism,” 11).
“And he sounded like he was lecturing them, telling them with a kind of official nonchalance that we’re cleaning out the country and you’re the dirt” (“Rasha,” 94).
Option #3: Moustafa Bayoumi and Alberto Rios: The Duality of Language
“And there they were, a group of old men surrounded by marines armed to the teeth. The men were all on their knees in the gravel, looking lost and pathetic” (Sami, 113).
“We try to do what people want, but they have to know what they’re asking for. That search for understanding is often itself a search for, and an act of, translation as well” (“Translating Translation” 2).

Excerpts from Darwin's "On the Origin of Species"
1. Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed that domesticated animals and plants showed greater variation than wild ones, and that inheritance of traits was the rule. He believed natural selection acted on this variation, preserving favorable traits and eliminating unfavorable ones over many generations.
2. Darwin noted that populations increase exponentially but resources are limited, leading to a struggle for existence. Individuals with traits better suited to their environment would survive and pass these on more often. Extinction occurs when a species is outcompeted.
3. He addressed critics by explaining how complex organs could evolve step-by-step and why transitional forms may not always be visible in
Maafa 21 Genocide Of Blacks In 21st Century America Companion Reader
This document summarizes a paper that discusses Margaret Sanger and the origins of Planned Parenthood. It notes that Sanger aligned herself with early 20th century eugenicists who advocated for population control and racial purity. She established a birth control clinic in Harlem in 1930 to promote birth control to the black community. Some prominent black leaders at the time supported birth control as a way to alleviate poverty, though others viewed it as a means to reduce the black population. The document examines how Sanger's views were influenced by Malthusian ideas about limiting populations of the "unfit" and "inferior."
The Context of Darwin in H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds
Illuminates concepts and passages from evolutionary writings relevant to H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.
Darwin, H. G. Wells, and the War of Nature
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, introducing his theory of evolution by natural selection. He argued that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection, where traits beneficial for survival in a given environment become more common. This was highly controversial at the time, challenging religious views. Thomas Huxley was a strong advocate for Darwin's theories, using them to argue against ideas of supernatural creation. Herbert Spencer later coined the term "survival of the fittest" and applied Darwinian ideas to society, believing governments should not intervene or protect the weak. While Darwin's theories shocked Victorian society, they would profoundly shape later understandings of biology, humanity's place in nature, and the development of life and society.
Philosophy Capstone Defence
Nietzsche has a conception of culture that emphasizes unity of artistic style across all expressions of a people's life, plurality of expressions to allow different paths to perfection, and having a definite goal of producing genius. He views German culture as lacking these qualities. Nietzsche believes cultures should be assessed based on their productivity for human perfection, which he defines as exemplifying transcendence of our animal nature through figures like the philosopher, artist, and saint. Cultures are more valuable to Nietzsche the more they enable individuals to attain these high forms of human excellence.
The Postulate of Human Ecology
Human ecology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between humans and their natural, social, and built environments. The postulate of human ecology states that on a limited area with limited resources, only a limited number of people with a certain behavior and culture can live to a certain standard while maintaining environmental quality. Overpopulation puts pressure on resources and can lead to issues like conflict over scarce resources, global migration, climate change, threats to political stability, and may even cause industrial civilization to collapse irreversibly. Recognizing the interdependence between humans and the environment, solutions need to be found through cooperation and changing perspectives on sustainability.
The Means Of Reproduction
This document discusses reproductive rights as a global issue that intersects with many forces that shape women's lives. It notes that while reproductive politics have been global from the start, Americans often think of these issues as domestic. Debates over family planning in developing countries have served as proxies for abortion debates in the United States. The document also highlights that restricting abortion access means women may be forced to carry pregnancies from rape or that pose health risks, and notes that around 26% of the world's population lives where abortion is illegal, leading to unsafe abortions and maternal deaths.
Teaching Holocaust and Genocide Using Literature
The document discusses using literature to teach about the Holocaust and genocide. It provides examples of books, poems, and artworks that can be used to address difficult topics like discrimination, oppression, and mass murder. It also notes that only 17 US states have mandatory Holocaust education, and Virginia is not one of them. The document advocates for using guiding questions to have deeper discussions about concepts like citizenship, loyalty, and standing up to evil.
