2. Sara Miles On Social Justice
The term social justice can mean a variety of things depending on who you are
asking. To many people, the general sense of the term resonates with everyone. Social
meaning society and justice meaning fairness two words that convey the overall
meaning of social justice. Social justice, however, means more than just society and
fairness. Through the What is Social Justice? A Collection of Definitions compiled by
Derrick Kikuchi, individuals varying from journalists to religious leaders chimed in
on their personal definitions of social justice. Two of the definitions resonated most
closely to my personal definition that being from Sara Miles, a Journalist and
Director of St. Gregory s Food Pantry and Doug King, editor and WebWeaver of the
Witherspoon Society of the Presbyterian Church USA.... Show more content on

Miles mentions in her definition that it is God s work in the world to have
everyone fed and to not shy away and be afraid of the matter. Miles explains that
her previous thoughts on social justice meant changing the policies that only regard
hunger not actual hunger. The world comprises of millions of people and though
changing policies for the people can be helpful, nothing can compare to physically
helping individuals in real life. I agree with Miles that we must do more than just
change how the government works. Although her definition is short, the few
sentences that she explains carry the weight of God s will for His people. Even if
people do not follow an organized religion, kindness and the act of volunteering and
helping the people of this world are universal and not restricted to religion

Many efforts from across the world led to win equal rights for all people in the
United States. Two activists, of many, in the Civil Rights Movement was Martin
Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. They were the leader and activist in the Civil Rights
Movement and they supported African American citizens in the United States. Rosa
Parks actions influence and led a boycott against city buses that refused to let
African Americans sit in the front seats of the bus. During the March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King s famous speech I Have a Dream
influenced the citizens of the nation and encouraged the president to push for civil
rights laws to pass. We need to be grateful to Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks for
what they had done, civil rights and society have changed a lot in the world through

Sub Issue 3 The issue that need to be considered further is whether there is an
intention to create a legal relationship between Gary and Baldcure Ltd. Rule: In
general, intention exists where can be demonstrated that there is an agreement.
The law in this area requires an evidence of implied intention of the both parties to
be bind by an agreement. (Pentony, 2003, p 57). Two presumptions need to be
considered: parties in commercial relationship intend to create a legally binding
contract parties in domestic or social relationship do not intend to create a legally
binding agreement Balfour v Balfour (1919) 2 KB 571. Application: If we apply
the law to the facts, the two parties, Gary and Baldcure have genuine consent to be
in a commercial relationship. Conclusion: To conclude, there is a commercial
relationship between Gary and Baldcure Ltd and therefore applies the presumption
that they intended to enter into a binding agreement. Sub Issue 4 The next issue is
the existence of consideration by Gary and Baldcure Ltd. Rules Consideration is
defined as an act of forbearance, or the promise thereof which is the price paid for

6. Islam Essay
The law, defined as the body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a
community and enforced by a political authority, is an important facet of any
community. It provides guidelines for those in the community to follow so that they
may have the most peaceful and problem free life. Islam takes this notion of peace
and obedience and applies to everyday living for the members of its community.
Islam law is of great importanceto the Muslim community because it provides
specific courses of action for living and also suppliesmechanisms for considering
how to deal with situations that are not discussed in the law. Islam law covers all
aspects of life; it has its own personal, moral, civil, ethical, societal, and criminal law.

This term represents Muhammad s actually carrying out of the principles set forth in
the Quran. This source can be looked at as the Quaran in Action. Where the Quran is
general, the Sunnah is particular and detailed. The Quran is at times vague, the
Sunnah makes its principles clear and unambiguous. The Sunnah explains what is
meant by the Quran and provides conceptual ways to incorporate the principles of the
Quran.
The next two sources of Islamic law are dependent upon the aforementioned sources,
the Quran and the Sunnah. They gain their authority from the Quran and Sunna. First
is the idea of consensus. A consensus is an agreement among a group of people about
a specific subject, namely, in this context, the agreement of Muslims about the
doctrine and belief of Allah and his teachings. When faced with novel or peculiar
situations for which there were no resolutions to be found in the Quaran or Sunnah,
leaders of the Muslim community would try to come to some agreement about how
to deal with the situations; consensus came to be the chief way of dealing with the
issue.
Finally, there is the notion of analogy in interpreting the law. This also comes into
play when there is no set resolution found in the Quran or Sunnah for a novel
problem. Through analogical deduction based on the stipulations set forth in the two
primary sources of Islamic law, the Quran and Sunnah, decisions can be made.
Islam is a prime example of how a community should be

philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the first
institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is widely considered the most
pivotal figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition.[2]
Unlike nearly all of his philosophical contemporaries, Platos entire Е“uvre is believed
to have survived intact for over 2,400 years.[3]
Along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid
the very foundations of Western philosophy and science.[4] Alfred North Whitehead
once noted: the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition
is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. [5] In addition to being a
foundational figure for Western science, philosophy, and mathematics, Plato has also
often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality.[6]
Friedrich Nietzsche, amongst other scholars, called Christianity, Platonism for the
people. [7] Plato s influence on Christian thought is often thought to be mediated by

deviation to the previously thought theory which was the ransom theory which
instead of outlined why man would only owe a debt to God but thought that

That is, Jesus was a sacrifice on the cross for man s sin and to save him from God s
wrath. Before Anselm s theory of why Jesus died on the cross most people
believed that it was a ransom to Satan. Anselm argued that no one or God did not
owe evil anything but it was God that was owed the sacrifice. Anselm believed that
before man sinned he was a holy creation by sinning he then become mortal
(gracecrossingchurch). His argument pointed out that man could not find joy in God
and therefor salvation was for the purpose of giving man the ability of finding joy
in loving God. Anselm did not believe that man s sin could just be forgiven but was
necessary to have payment. Incarnation in terms of Christianity is Jesus coming into

The credibility of a person depends on many different elements. Credibility can
pertain to trustworthiness and expertise. Trustworthiness is affected by things like
reliability and characteristics of the person. Expertise is affected by credentials
and proven skill (Flanagin, Metzger, 4). The same person may be perceived as
credible at one point in time, but may lack credibility later in time. Credibility is
largely based on what we as a society are experiencing during that time period.
Small things may affect credibility that we would not originally think to include. If
a person were to see an ad every day about a certain lawyer, they might think of the
lawyer if it comes a time for them to need a lawyer. But if someone were to hear
about how wonderful a certain lawyer is from a friend or coworker, that person
would be more likely to use that lawyer if the need arose. It stands to reason that
people are more likely to trust people they know blindly when it comes to
credibility. Appearance is another aspect of credibility that would not always be
considered. Much of the time it is subconscious, but people are more likely to trust a
person or service if the staff or spokesperson is attractive physically

There are also four rules of total institutions. The first rule is, All aspects of life are
conducted I the same place under the control of a single authority. An Ember in the
Ashes, takes place at an academy called Blackcliff, where students are trained to
become killers and the police of the nation. This all falls under the rule of the

Hair Replacement Surgery
Surgical hair restoration or hair replacement surgery is a fairly simple and safe
procedure. Nonetheless, it is surgery, so finding a qualified doctor is critical to
achieving success as well as being aware of the risks, including infection.
How does hair replacement surgery work?
The actual process works similar to this:
Selecting and Harvesting the Donor Area
First, you should remove existing hair from your donor area. For most people, this
will be toward the back of the head. Your specific level of hair loss plays a vital role
and I ll explain why. If you don t have enough natural growing hair on your head,
you may not be an ideal candidate for surgery and there s a logical reason for this.
Closing the Donor Area
Once the physician removes an appropriate size strip of donor s hair, will he then
stitch the incision up? Typically, the tech will schedule an appointment for removal
10 days after the procedure. The replacement surgery will leave behind a small scar
which your natural hair will conceal.
Transplanting the Hair Grafts
After the physician removes the donor strip, the tech will prepare tiny grafts for hair
transplant surgery to place into your balding areas. The hair grafts at the front hairline
will contain between one to three hairs each. As they transplant the grafts further back
from your hairline, the numbers of hairs per graft will increase.
Covering the Hair Loss Area
Often, this is an outpatient procedure and typically can take

Not many people can say they were up and about the same day after treatment of
a brain tumor. This is now possible with the Gamma Knife, a technology utilizing
gamma rays to treat brain disorders successfully and with no incision. These
requirements are essential when trying to treat the disorders in a sensitive organ as

damage.

These procedures also require months of rehabilitation after the operation. With the
Gamma Knife, all of these problems are greatly reduced. Tumors or blood vessel
abnormalities are destroyed with 0.1 mm accuracy. Multiple tumors can be
destroyed easily because the entire procedure is only about half an hour long. A
person treated in this way can also return to daily activities in just a day or two. The
success rate for controlling the tumor growth is 85 to 90 percent.
The Gamma Knife technology does not involve a knife at all. It is a 20 ton
machine with the active parts being 201 sources of radioactive cobalt 60. These
gamma rays from the cobalt 60 sources converge on the targeted tissue and destroy it.
The surrounding part of the brain is left unaffected because the individual beams are
not strong enough to destroy tissue that is passed through on the way to the target.
The combined effect of the 201 beams is strong enough to destroy the abnormality in
about 30 minutes though. The gamma rays are directed by sophisticated computer

24. St Augustine Confessions Analysis
In his Confessions, St. Augustine presented his life from his adolescence through his
adulthood and conversion to Christianity. One of the most prominent themes
throughout his narrative was the reaction of weeping in a situation of separation.
Whether it was Monica grieving when her son left for Rome or Augustine lamenting
the distance between himself and God, these scenes of weeping proved incredibly
crucial to the presentation of his life story, acting as frames for specific points in his
life. Through his placement and description of four specific scenes of weeping,
Augustine created a pattern of mirrored events that marked the distinction between
his life prior to and after his conversion. One of the first pressing occasions of a
separation was the instance of Monica weeping when she discovered that Augustine
had left Christianity behind to be a Manichee. He described that she wept for [him]
before [God] more than mothers weep when lamenting their dead children, as she was
overwhelmed with sorrow that her son was separating himself from God (Conf.
3.19). Even though Augustine himself could not see that he was straying from
salvation, Monica perceived the death which held [him] and turned to God for
guidance (Conf. 3.19). Through her prayers, she was granted a dream from God in
which a man asked her why she was downcast and daily in flood of tears(Conf. 3.19).
She replied that she mourned Augustine s separation from God, to which the man
told her to have no

The frequently used speaking tasks by teachers are: interview, picture description and
oral presentation. All three tasks have certain similarities that according to Lee
(2004) they are close to everyday life situations; enable the students to use as much
L2 as possible. On the other hand, Sook (2003) research in Korean schools shows that
teachers opt for such speaking assessment tasks that gave less psychological burden
to students, were less time consuming and did not demand the teacher to take the role
of interviewer etc. Teachers function as a rater only, scoring students responses,
therefore they mostly used activities such as answering questions and describing a
realia to assess the students speaking ability. Recently Xiaole, Meng and Manli
(2012) utilized questionnaire to conduct a nation wide survey in China, a quantitative
approach to explore the ways and methods of intercultural communicative competence

26. Public Choice Theory And Public Choice Theory
Public choice or public choice theory means the use of economic tools to deal with
traditional problems of political science, it also tries to explain how public decision
are made. It is directed towards the study of politics based on the economic
principles. The public choice theory is a strong variant of the rational choice theory.
The theory is concerned with the provision of so called public goods, goods that are
delivered by government rather than the market, because, as with air, their benefit
cannot be withheld from individuals who choose not to contribute to their provision.
What lies at the heart of public choice theoryis the self interest maximization theory.
Public choice works hand in glove with economics. Economics is the study of
individual presences and the interaction of those preferences with firms in market
settings. As South Africa keeps on endeavouring toward protected change, it appears
to be suitable to inspect regularizing open decision hypothesis for bits of knowledge
that may be pertinent toward the South African established process. Regulating open
decision, regularly called established financial matters, involves a similar examination
of the standards and organizations that represent financial, social and political
interactions. Constitutional financial matters augments the business sector trade

Essay
U.S. Policy on Libyan Chemical Weapons Proliferation
Introduction
A legacy of aggression exists between the United States and Libya which pervades
every facet of U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the non proliferation arena. The
absolute distrust of Revolutionary Leader Colonel Mu ammar Abu Minyar al
Qadhafi and his government expressed by U.S. officials has prompted the United
States to play the role of policing non proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons, the so called weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), in Libya.
As Libya is a party to the Pelindaba Treaty for the establishment of the African
nuclear weapon free zone (ANWFZ), it is bound to a commitment of nuclear non
proliferation. However, this treaty ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The definition of proportionality, however, is difficult to ascertain and the doctrine
can only be invoked in the case of attack. Therefore, U.S. use of nuclear weapons in
response to the present Libyan production of chemical weapons is unjustifiable.
The chemical weapons non proliferation regime boasts a strong treaty in the form of
the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), but as Libya is not a party to this treaty,
its restrictions have no bearing on Libyan chemical weapons production. Libya,
therefore, presents a problem in that its chemical weapons production constitutes a
world threat, but its actions are fully legal. The Geneva Protocol of 1925 merely
prohibits the use of chemical weapons, not their production, stockpiling, or
possession. Thus, though U.S. policy options are constrained by its agreements and
security assurances, the United States must seek out legal and effective means of
ending Libyan production of chemical weapons.
Background
Libya has long been considered a state threatening the interests of the WMD non
proliferation regimes. Though Libya is a non nuclear weapon state party to the NPT,
[its] commitment to the accord is suspect because of [its] demonstrated interest in
acquiring nuclear arms (Jones 1995:15). This resolution became more suspicious
when Libya joined Bhutan and India in casting a negative vote in the overall 158 to
3 vote in favor of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (Jones 1995:16).

from outside just influence all individuals. As ideas are from outside sources,
individuals will have more opinions and skills about their living and their works.

few hours. Being able to turn your brain off and say, Ok. I get to live in this other
world for the day. This is my life for a day. Film is only about escaping in the sense
that a message must escape from the scenes, and the story as a whole. It may never
cross the lips of any of the characters, or be written in white on a black screen (as in

watch and know what to look for the subtle nuances and the mise en scene,
everything that is in a particular frame, because those are the clues and you are the

you take from the movie. Some movies do a poor job of sending a message and
those are the movies that people watch and forget to learn from them. Other are too

33. Withdrawal Of The Syrian Refugee Crisis
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This policy memo addresses the current possible U.S. options to the Syrian refugee
crisis. I have identified three different options: Increase Syrian refugee resettlement
commitments, establish safe zones in northern Syria, or seal the Syrian border. As
conditions continue to deteriorate in Syria and the number of refugees continues to
increase, it is critical that you strengthen the U.S. position in the country of Syria.
The establishment of safe zones would align our moral, strategic, and diplomatic
interests more than any other possible policy. Half of the electorate or more wants
refugees to establish safe homelands near or in their country, if possible, reducing the
perceived risk of increasing potential terrorism in the United States, the notion
grounded in reality or not. Also, historically, refugees have been allowed safe harbor
in United States and we could continue in such tradition, in the safest possible way.
BACKGROUND
The conflict in Syria between the government of Bashar al Assad and various other
forces, which started in the spring of 2011, continues to cause displacement within
the country and across the region. By the end of 2014, approximately 7.6 million
people were internally displaced and 3.7 million Syrians had fled the country since
the start of the conflict. Over 21.5 million people, or half of the country s pre war
population, have been displaced. The refugee situation is urgent, and it has placed an

The problem is that by working from home, you tend to take yourself out of the
running for promotions and work rewards (Turcotte). You will also find that in
many cases, the job that you would be promoted into can t be done from home so
you simply won t be considered for it. This is a non issue if you are content staying
in the same position for the duration of your career. If, however, you plan on
getting ahead and moving up in your career field, then working from home could
be a problem (Turcotte). Home employment is sometimes not taken seriously by
prospective employers, and it can be viewed as a gap in the resume (Provenzano).
One of the main reasons people tend to work onsite is because they love doing it
with the goal of getting promoted, so they can climb the corporate ladder. If you
are a freelancer or if you work from home, you might lose sight of these
opportunities (Wall). If you do freelance work, that means you are more of an
independent contractor than a regular employee. Sometimes people with home
employment are often looked at as if they don t do real work (Park). A large
majority of the people working at home do not really feel like professionals despite
the size of the work load or opportunities. The main factor here is that, when you re

The early 19th and 20th centuries in England and Germany were times that would
define modern Europe for ages. While England had been a world superpower since
the 1500 s, they had to compete with Germany, a new and emerging country. For in
the newer countries, imperialism was giving the people a newfound sense of
nationalism further empowering people. Modernizing industry at a rapid pace shaped
the workforce, while political systems were beginning to change in England while
taking shape in Germany. Yet, Germany s new found nationalism and industry ended
up making them a stronger nation than England.
In 1871, Realpolitik was at its height when Otto von Bismarck of Prussia formed
Germany. Bismarck was appointed as the prime minister of Prussia to crush the
growing power of the liberals. It was his job to instill conservative values while
avoiding progressive thinking with Western Europe. Bismarck used war as a
political tactic by getting into wars he knew could win for Prussia. He lured
Denmark and France into war to beat them and add to a growing sense of pride and
nationalism within the German states. Two houses of government formed with the
aristocracy having more power than the lower house. The biggest downside of
Bismarck getting into wars with surrounding countries was that Germany was not
industrializing over this period of time. Although, once Germany unified, Bismarck
was able to jumpstart the economy by implementing a series of laws that would help

They then [step] inside to the grind and protest of the floorboards (pg. 38). This
example highlights that the setting is described to reflect the lack of meaning that
the Pickles have to the house. Another example of this is how the big emptiness of
the house around them [almost paralyses] them with spaces and surfaces that yield
nothing to them . The Pickle s have no money and a great continent of a house
[that] doesn t belong to them (pg. 41). The reader s first encounter with Cloudstreet
leaves room for development of not only the story, but the house itself. The Lambs
and Pickles moving into number one Cloud Street perhaps reflects how each of
these families are literally back to square one , after their individual traumas at the
beginning of the novel. The Lambs and the Pickles are also living together despite
being complete strangers, sharing only a singular idea in common: the search for
meaning in their lives.
The house is a connection to who the characters are, their being and culture. This is
evident when the black fella is constantly telling Quick to go home throughout the
story, referring to Cloudstreet. Rose s decision to give up her house in the new
suburbs and move back to Cloudstreet is also an example of this connection to the

Blacks, women, men, and even the children, were very dark, had eyes and lips
bulging out, jovial and content with slavery, and were usually portrayed eating
watermelon. Americans seeing these pictures for 150+ years would eventually
emit off the fact that most, if not all, Blacks looked like this and were content of
slavery. The pictures evoking off the savage like pictures would give off the fact
that Blacks freed from slavery would end up like this to humanity, acting all
savagely to Whites. All of these caricatures were far from the truth of the reality of
how Blacks were; rather, they were drawn up by Whites who manipulated the White
society to believe that these caricatures were facts, which in reality, they were not.

private universities are supposed to have better education. The private universities
tend to have competitive admissions processes than those of the public universities
(Ban, 2012). So, private universities keep a high degree of academic excellence and
they are reputed by this advantage. The private universities have their great prestige
so this helps graduates in the marketplace. The universities have positive weight in
the students minds of the future potential employers. The employers always like to
hire students graduated from private universities as they know that such universities
present highly qualified curricula. These private universities make students capable
of getting good jobs in the future. These private universities provide with effective
classroom resources as well as strong technology (Neil Kokemuller, 2014). So, the
private universities are more prestigious. This may depend highly on the university
itself. This can be an advantage for students if they began to seek jobs after their
