...governed by classic liberal notions advocated by thinkers such as John Stuart Mill and John Locke, Emmanuel Kant. A traditional conception of equality is generally prioritized in their work, outlining a highly formal approach premised on uniform treatment, colour-blindness and an emphasis on the Rule of Law. However, in the contemporary context of today, such an ideological hope tends to play the role of the ignorant fool, who disregards the complexity of our society. We are in need of a system that opens its eyes, stops hiding behind a “veil of ignorance” (Sandel, 1998:24) and adopts a more flexible approach. The Bouchard – Taylor Commission demonstrates exactly this notion. This essay will argue in favour of one of the major claims made by Gerard Bouchard & Charles Taylor, that reasonable accommodation, in essence a more substantive equality perspective is a necessary, if not mandatory approach that a multicultural society is in dire need of adopting, clarifying and deeply enforcing. I will discuss the logic and rational that underpins harmonization measures by exploring how social norms & ideologies have played an especially important role is systemic discrimination, then, how Canadian Law and legal institutions have played a role in constructing and maintaining racial stereotypes, and then, how the media plays an especially vital role in further denouncing minority groups. I will then provide some recommendations as to how to go about improving our situations with minority groups...

...‘Slam Dunk’ the festival itself is targeted at Girls aged 14-20 because of the bands that play there. However, the sub title “The Ultimate Review” is targeted at the succeeder, they aren't buying the magazine because it has the review, they buy it because it is the best. The dont know, dont care category for this edition of the magazine would be fans of My Chemical Romance, Girls aged 13-18. This is evident as the Band is targeted at that group through a soft violence, for example, Gerard Way is made to look mildly threatening, but he isn't the typical blood and violence type musician that Kerrang is often associated with. Despite there being elements of death and darkness in the cover photo, which would usually be aimed at males, it is clear from the camera angle and the design that Gerard Way, the man on the cover, has been made to seem more attractive and some would appeal to his fans and fans of his band. This would mean that someone who wouldn't usually but the magazine might, because Gerard Way is featured. But also the...

...美国、英国与中国中学生写作案例举隅 西北师大附中 李 静 1．美国：美国重视对学生的写作指导，例如2001年6月通过的美国麻萨诸塞州《英语语言艺术课程标准纲要》提出了语言学习的十条原则，其中第六条原则是：有效的英语语言艺术课程给学生提供针对阅读和写作的非常明确的技术指导。从这一原则可以看出美国写作教学的指导原则：提前给学生提供一些明确的技术指导是非常有效的，明确的指令特别有助于学生解决那些他们在作业中碰到的难题。该课程标准在写作说明部分明确指出：“为了把学生培育成写作的多面手，教师应当强调三方面的任务：首先要有拓展性写作练习；其次，多写命题的简短作文；再次，多进行随笔练习。” [i] 这种循序渐进的能力训练序列也是科学主义的表现。 比如“写一件有趣的往事”这样一篇作文，教材的指导如下： 内容要求：你在电话上和朋友说话时，感觉到你妈妈，或者弟弟、妹妹可能在偷听，你有过这样的经历吗？这种在电话里和朋友谈事情时不舒服的感觉，在通过写信和朋友的交流中就不会存在了。写信时你有时间慢慢讨论属于你和朋友的私事。假如你最好的朋友刚搬到另一个城市，感到很孤独，而且想家，那么写封信给他/她，讲讲你的有趣经历，难道还有比这更好的办法吗？在信中，生动地描绘一件好笑的经历，就像这个单元中的作家描写小说中人物有趣的恶作剧一样。 任务：写一段有趣的往事。 目的：娱乐。 读者：生活在另一个城市的朋友。 写作前 ⑴哪些事真的很滑稽可笑？再看一下本单元的故事，仔细阅读写有一系列幽默事件的一篇故事。例如，你有可能会选择伊萨克·巴士韦斯·辛格的《我迷路的那天》，仔细阅读，然后想一想，作者是如何描写这些事情的？为什么很有趣？ ⑵勾画情景。记住，你朋友也许并不指望你回答事情是如何发生的这类问题，他也可能只要你简单地按时间顺序描述当时的情景。划一条表示时间的长线，将发生的事情按先后顺序排列。 学生示例： 晚饭妈妈让我吃肉糕→我用叉子叉起肉糕→妈妈起身去接电话→我把肉糕胡乱塞进袜子后装在我抽屉里→妈妈两个星期找到袜子 初稿 ⑴以意想不到的话开头。吸引你朋友注意力的最好的方法之一，就是用有趣的或者令人深思的一句话或一个问题开始。 学生示范：有些东西你不想吃，你家又没有养狗，那么最好的处理方法是什么呢？听着，让我来教你一个非常简单的方法，最起码我认为那是最简单的！ ⑵补漏洞。在信中加上幽默的对话，富有色彩的描述、富有想像力的语言。想一想如何尽可能生动地描写细节。不要在一个词或一个句子上花太多精力，而要将整个事情流利地描述出来。记住这是一篇非正式的往事描写，而不是正式的报告。 ⑶制造悬念。与幽默故事相关的一个重要因素是意外。你写信的目的是让你朋友开心，所以不要在一开始就说出结果而扫了兴致，而是将你的朋友一点点引入高潮，引起悬念，使他急于知道下文。 ⑷信的结束内容。讲完故事后，问几个问题，例如他/她对这件事有什么看法？他/她在类似的情况下会怎么办？通过提问，你表现出很在意朋友的意见和反应，及经常联络的愿望。 修改和校对 ⑴读一读自己的文章。但是不要在写完后马上就读，而是将写好的文章放一两天，然后假设你刚收到这封信，思考下列问题：开头的句子吸引你的注意力吗？事情的过程有没有按逻辑安排？这件事有趣、幽默吗？ ⑵校阅。和正式的文章不一样，私人信件的句子可以用断句、缩约式及不规范的标点符号。...

...Title: Philips Global (Netherlands) I. Background (present, summarize highlights pertinent to the problem) The Philips Company was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik as a family business. Frederik Philips, being a banker in Zaltbommel, financed the purchase and setup of an empty modest factory building in Eindhoven where Philips started the production of carbon-filament lamps and other electro-technical products in 1892. This first factory survives as a Museum devoted to light sculpture. In 1895, after the first difficult years and going nearly bankrupt, Gerard's 16 years younger brother Anton entered the family business as a sales representative at the request of his father. Since then, due to Anton's brilliant business talent, the family business began to expand rapidly resulting in 1907 in the foundation of the N.V. Philips’ Metaalgloeilampfabriek (the Philips Lightwire-bulb Factory Inc) in Eindhoven, followed in 1912 by the foundation of the N.V. Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken. (the Philips Light-bulbs Factories Inc). After Gerard and Anton Philips, who were first cousins of Karl Marx, changed their family business by founding the Philips Incorporation, they laid the base of the later electronics multinational. In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such as vacuum tubes. In 1939 they introduced their electric razor, thePhilishave (marketed in the USA using the Norelco brand name).

...Corey Blackwell Mr. Morris English 111-44 13 September, 2012 Life is like a Book In almost every book there is always a table of contents, problems, solutions, main characters and supporting characters. Every book comes to life once given a title and has a purpose. The author is always the creator of the book, but each book is different. Some books are viewed as being better than another and ultimately receive awards. Some books cost more than others, but that doesn’t make them better. Sometimes a book is judged by its cover and is only attempted to be read by the way it looks, although the book itself may not be better than the books that are plain on the outside. The only thing that should matter in a book is the information inside, and the message it portrays to the reader. Each book created is meant to be read by someone, and to help someone. There is a plan for the book to begin and a plan for it to end. Each chapter in the book leads to another chapter and every chapter in the book is different. The beginning leads to the middle and the middle leads to the end. Old problems start to fade away and are solved, while new ones emerge to eventually be solved. Sometimes old characters are forgotten about or if they are special enough, they could remain mentioned throughout the whole story. New characters come in and out of every chapter and always have a lot to do with the chapters plot. All characters have a specific purpose in the book. The characters are created by the...

...Stress James Farrar From the moment of birth to the end of life one way or another we all have to deal with stress. Each of us cope with stress in our own way because there are some many different types of stress from self- imposed to environmental, there seems to be no end to it. What determines the extant of the damage done by the effects of whatever stress that is imposed is the ability to cope with, process and or deal with whichever type of stress one has to handle. It is my belief that most stress is self- imposed by that I mean a lot of the problems we face every day are brought on by poor decisions which can lead to undue amounts of stress. Through long periods of isolation and dehumanization I have personally had to deal with some stresses that would have rendered the average person delirious. It is also my belief as previously stated that each and every one of us copes with stress in our own way, what may drive one person crazy may not bother another. There are some people I know that crumble when the slightest thing goes wrong and then there are others who step up when put under pressure. The above really only covers the obvious, there are instances such as some children born with debilitating diseases or say someone who was born blind, they would still have to deal with the disability but learning to cope with it or maybe just absence of stimuli makes it easier to handle, it may also...

...On the 13th of March 1879 Gerard Manley Hopkins, a curate at St Aloysius’ church in oxford at the time took an afternoon stroll in the country side, a place he had been cherishing since he started studying in oxford many years before. He had found that all the bountiful poplars lining the side of the river near Binsey had been cut down. Oxfords countryside had always been very close to Hopkins heart, leaving him distressed at the thought that the effervescent beauty of the countryside had been destroyed; Thus spurring the composition of the well-known poem ‘Binsey Poplars”. The poem is composed in “sprung rhythm,” the pioneering metric form created by Hopkins himself. “In sprung rhythm the number of accents in a line is counted, but the number of syllables is not.” (enotes.com). As a result Hopkins uses this to group accented syllables together to create striking onomatopoeic effects. For example, the third line features a substantial recurrence of the accented words, “all” and “felled that catch the ear like the shocks of a hatchet on the tree trunks. This poem holds two irregular stanzas of eight and 16 lines which grieve the loss of nature to the woodsman’s axe. The first stanza is written with the eye of the author, intimate descriptions of the trees that were once by the bank of the river are depicted. The theme of Tragedy and loss are prominent themes throughout the poem. ‘O if we knew what we do”. Hopkins mourns the wholesale damage of the natural world. Just when...

...Background Treadway Tire Company is a major North American supplier of tires to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and replacement tire markets. They currently manufacture Treadway Primo, Treadway Performance, and other private tire brands. Treadway’s Lima Tire Plant, based out of Lima, Ohio is considered one of the company’s top plants for productivity and quality ratings. A continuous operations plant – operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week with four rotating shifts – the Lima Plant produced approximately 25,000 tires per day in 2007 alone. There are over 1100 employees at the Lima Plant location – 970 hourly and 150 salaried. The hourly employees are unionized by the United Steelworkers (USW) and are directly supervised by the salaried line foremen. The foremen possess a large bulk of the responsibilities at Lima, supervising all phases of production and quality assurance work as well as dealing with a variety of personnel, resource and administrative duties. They are often pulled in conflicting directions by the hourly employees, the union regulations and upper management. According to Brandon Bellingham, the plant manager at Lima, “Meeting performance goals is the most important duty of the line foremen.” However, the lack of proper training does not allow the foremen to successfully handle situations causing them intense pressure and a feeling of inadequacy. In the past year, the Lima Plant has experienced a high rate of foremen turnover...

...things of the world A. Definition of pied B. Description of the parts of God creation Hopkin chooses to focus on C. Description of Hopkin’s appreciate for the oddest of God’s creation IV. Conclusion Pied Beauty Pied Beauty is a poem that offers praises unto God for his marvelous creation. The imagery within the poem catapults the reader’s attention towards nature’s simplified beauty. Hopkin’s poem “Pied Beauty” exemplifies how the beauty in even the oddest things in the world is worthy to be admired. This paper will discuss the overall summary of “Pied Beauty” as well as focus on the tone and mood Hopkins used throughout this piece, as we review his appreciation of the world’s beauty through his eyes. The author of Pied Beauty, Gerard Manley Hopkins, an English poet known for his celebration of nature and all God has created, was one of the most influential of Victorian writers. Within the stanzas of this poem, Hopkins projects his perception of God’s mercy and his joy in the smallest things as he refers to the motley beauty of the world. “Pied Beauty” is a rhymed curtal or shorten sonnet that follows no specific form, yet it advocates originality and contrariness. In the beginning of the poem Hopkins dance with the magnificent praises of God as he points out the “dappled” things of the world. He goes on to paint a very vivid...
