2,032 words... greater attention to Canadian relations with the Middle East than in 1985. However, in our view, the coverage remained episodic in nature and did not reflect a new concern to inform readers about a range of Canadian relations with the countries of the region and Canadian policy with respect to the central issue of an Arab-Israeli reconciliation.

Levi Strauss Modern Criticism
1,512 wordsStructure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences (Derrida, 1978: 278 293) may be read as the document of an event, although Derrida actually commences the essay with a reservation regarding the word event, as it entails a meaning which it is precisely the function of structural or structuralist thought to reduce or suspect (278). This, I infer, refers to the emphasis within structuralist discourse on the synchronous analysis of systems and relations within them, as opposed to a di...

Criminal Justice System Number Of Users
1,236 wordsThe concept of marijuana legalization has gone in and out of vogue over the past 20 years, as several states, either de jure or de facto, have decriminalized its possession and use.

Men And Women Rape Victims
1,920 wordsRape is a forced sexual intercourse against the will of the victim (Parrot, 1988). Rape is a violent act, not a sexual act.

Rape is not a very pleasant subject. When people think about rape, they usually think of a stranger with a knife hiding in the bushes. He waits for a woman to walk by and then attacks. But t...
