Cause Of Action Supreme Court Of Canada

Suppose one accepts MacKinnon and Dworkin's
suggested statutory definition of pornography. How
does one who generally accepts MacKinnon and
Dworkin's views on the pervasively harmful effect
of pornography, and who accepts a need for legal
redress of the harms perpetrated by pornography,
deal with pornographic material? The ordinance
proposed by MacKinnon and Dworkin would deal with
such material by enacting legislation which gives
people adversely affected by the works, which
clearly fit their d...

Is Gender Neutrality Of Law A Myth
1,157 words
The status of women as empowered citizens around
the world is yet to be ascertained. Guided by the
Charter of the United Nations and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, it seems as if the
trend towards a just social order reflects a
better tomorrow, and yet, thousands of women
suffer from the brutal crimes and atrocities
committed by their male counterparts. Deeply woven
into the social fabric of society, women face the
onslaught of a patriarchal legal system - be it by
the denial of fund...

ter> What are Australia's main political parties?
Compare & contrast the voting system of Australia
with that of another country. Discuss the effects
of Australia changing its bicameral system of
government. Modern democracy is party
democracy; the political institutions and
practices that are the essence of democratic
government in the Western view were the creations
of political parties and would be unthinkable
without them. (Katz, 1980: page 1) As a feature of
modern democracy, the ...

Liberal Arts Education Consequences

Liberal arts is a generalized term for a broad
range of subjects including history, philosophy,
and literature. These courses do not necessarily
provide a solid foundation for a trade or
profession, a lot of students ask or think why am
I taking this class? or why is it necessary to
take a class that is not really going to help me
become a doctor or lawyer? The answer is that
although they do not directly relate to there

York Times President Bush
1,440 words
The primary source of political information in
America is the media. There is an extent to which
one may consider this merely information, however;
the facts presented and the way in which the story
is written is not free of political bias. Certain
publications and the articles which they contain
are often presented to a certain audience,
tailored to elicit specific feelings, and are
written to force the reader to adopt the same
political views as those contained in that
publication. Of these pu...

... d Laurier, the Liberals supported unrestricted
reciprocity and suffered for it in the election of
1891. ' (Mcmenemy, pg. 12, 1976) The Liberals'
policy on trade annoyed industrialists, who were
intimidated by the prospect of unlimited trade.
British Loyalists regarded the trade reciprocity
as being anti-British. In the latter part of the
1890 s, however, Laurier adjusted the party's
policy on trade reciprocity. 'In the budget of
1897, the Liberals neatly undercut the
Conservatives by introdu...

19 Th Century Marx And Engels
1,654 words
Political Science Ideologies The contemporary
political and social debate, at least from the
time of the beginning of the 19 th century, arose
out of two most important conceptual models of how
society should be organized. They go under the
name of liberalism and socialism. It is essential
to state at once that they were not contrasting
views; the latter (socialism) must be seen as the
radicalization and extension to everybody of the
premises included in the former (liberalism).
Actually, the mo...

Slobodan Milosevic Democratically Elected
1,814 words
Political Science Democracy and universal suffrage
are nowadays identified with the words liberty and
basic rights. Not necessarily so argues Fareed
Zakaria suggesting that it is not democracy itself
that brings about liberty and rights, but that the
creation and protection of those inalienable
rights - along with economic progress and a rise
in living standards - that ultimately make for
legitimate democracy. To criticize democracy is
sometimes seen as like criticizing the idea of
human rights;...

Civil Rights Movement 20 Th Century

Women and Equality Equality of man has been one of
the most pursued activities throughout human
history. Mankind has made several mistakes during
this long quest for a prejudice-free society.
However, in order for humans to continue evolving
in the making of ourselves as better, we must look
back at these mistakes and learn from them.
Women's suffrage is an applicable topic when
discussing this. If we look back upon the
injustices that women faced, then perhaps we can

President Franklin D Roosevelt Balance The Budget
1,129 words
President Franklin D. Roosevelt is commonly
thought of as a liberal and President Herbert C.
Hoover as a conservative. The validity of these
accusations, however, is uncertain. Before
classifying each president in the categories of
liberal and conservative, it must first be
understood what is meant by each term. During the
time of the Great Depression, a liberal was
usually associated with political equality, free
speech, free assembly, free press, and equality of
opportunity. Its directly deriv...

Radical Feminism Liberal Feminists

It can be said that the state is a category of
abstraction that is too aggregative, too unitary
and too unspecific to be of much use in addressing
the disaggregated, diverse and specific (or local)
sites that must be of most pressing concern to
feminists. (Allen 1990) The difficulty of any
theory of the state is an obvious one. The state
is a generalization that is constantly shifting
and redefining itself and the power paradigms that
exist within it. Therefore, it is difficult to
agree on an id...

must be justified. In other words, any inequality
between genders must be explained and justified,
in order for it to be accepted by the liberal
feminists. According to our textbook, the liberal
feminism originated from the social contract
theories. Such theories state that all forms of
social domination or authority must be justified,
according to the textbook. Liberal feminists hold

First World War Mussolini

After the unification of Italy in 1870 the country
was run by a series of liberal governments. Why
then, in 1922 was a country still in the early
stages of its political development, subject to
such a radical political swing, and how was any
one man able to instigate it? The period between
1870 and 1922 was an era that faced major
problems- poverty, unemployment, a lack of
national identity and perhaps most significantly
of all, the First World War. The Liberal

During the last quarter of the nineteenth century
Tory governments held office for seventeen years
(1874? 80, 1886 - 92, 95 - 1900). During this time
Salisbury was Prime Minister for the last eleven
years, and was also a member of the cabinet for

position of leader of the opposition during the
Gladstonian ministries that interrupted this spell
of Tory leadership. What were the reasons for this
Conservative political ascendancy, and what was
