"Race, Employment Discrimination, and State Complicity in Wartime Canada, 1939-1945" offers an in-depth overview of Canada's racial and employment discriminations during the WW II period. The article is authored by Carmela Patrias. She illustrates how employers during the period discriminated against minorities on account of their foreign names, language, religion, and color irrespective of their qualifications and the severe labor shortage experienced at the time (Patrias, 2007). The classification of the minorities was implicitly aided by the Canadian state through its census. Ultimately, this classification had the effect of allowing Anglo-Canadians to discriminate against the minorities. That occurred despite ...

In terrorism cases, it appears that complicity and vicarious liability are in fact less difficult for prosecutors to establish in terrorism cases. In the case of federal law, there is a certain procedure by which prosecutors determine both complicity and vicarious liability with respect to terrorism cases. There is a certain ease with the charge of complicity given the nature of the law. In the context of conspiracy, each person involved in the crime – no matter how big or small his or her attachment, may be associated and thereby deemed complicit and subject to federal indictment (Dempsi 2006). There ...

Through this class and this assignment I have learned more about myself as a woman and a minority, but also as a person. In many ways I face oppression, but I am prepared to make my way ...

Abstract

Genocide must be stopped everywhere in the world and Cameroon is a good place to start. Genocidal criminal activities can cause death as well as physical and mental injuries. Forcing children to move out of their home, an attempt to commit genocide, conspiring and/or incitement to commit genocide and complicity in genocide are all covered under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Cameroon has experienced genocide and attacks by the Central African Republic are one example. The international community needs to intervene to stop the genocide and to organize legitimate elections. In order to promote peace, ...

Accessorial Liability

Scouler C & Button R (2004) mentioned that accessorial liability is another form of extension in criminal liability even for individuals who are not part or involve in a joint-criminal enterprise. Brown et al. (2011) added that there are two ways in which a person can incur accessorial liability namely- second degree and third degree. A principal is categorized under second degree liability if the person is present at the commission of the crimes and aids, assists and encourages (Brown et al. 2011). The third degree liability under accessorial liability if the person is involved during the preliminary stages of the crime ...

Introduction

Nestle has become a source of scorn and resentment for many after draining the wells of a community in a developing country in an attempt to chase profits and deliver bottled water at a far higher price to others within the country. The fact that this isn't the first occasion on which Nestle has drained an aquifer and prevented the local community from accessing their water supplies did nothing to help the companies case. Situations like this pose ethical issues for companies that are more than just a matter for discussion in class, situations that have real world consequences. It is clear that ...

Overview of the case

While the three actors in this case scenario can be prosecuted for various crimes, the legal positions of their convictions are entangled by the fact that the doctrine of complicity plays a prominent role. For instance, Jane Doe, the janitor is partly responsible for the crimes committed by Jack because she aids such crimes in the capacity of an accessory. Jim, on the other hand is a first degree accomplice, who commits a crime in which Jack Brown is the perpetrator. In such a crime, the accomplice could be held guilty of a greater crime than the accomplice (Kut 214). However, it is essential ...

Irony, Point of View, and the Significance of Good and Evil inin Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” Ursula Le Guin’s short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” describes the city of Omelas and its people as a utopian place of near perfect joy and perfection, with one exception.

The catch is, the citizens of Omelas know that “their happiness, the beauty of their city,” ...

Some Paradoxes Associated With Whistle Blowing.

The term whistle blower refers to an individual or an informant who exposes wrongdoing within the organization with the objective or hopes to stop it. On the other hand, a paradox refers to the inconsistency between the theory of our systematic understanding of whistle blowing and what we actually know about whistle blowing. This paper provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the paradoxes behind whistle blowing. However, there is nothing morally problematic about whistle blowing because after all. This is because revealing of the information that has not been revealed is part of the function of science. However, research ...

Introduction

This is a paper written by the author Davis, where he attempts to find the justification behind the unpurposeful acts of whistleblowing by some honest and sincere employees of top-level organizations. He tries to state that sometimes such employees who are committed to their duties and to their organizations well-being concede some specific piece of public information that makes them to be called as whistleblowers. This is just a step to protect their organizations and its employees’ interests. To clarify and prove his point he gives the famous case of Roger Boisjoly. The case of Roger Boisjoly is a typical one. ...

Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism was a system without any redeeming features at all, although it obviously appealed to the majority of Germans who were pleased that the regime ended unemployment and made Germany a great power again. Nazism was a racist and militaristic ideology rather than a form of socialism in the Western sense, and was based on Hitler’s own delusions and paranoia, and his obsessions about the Jews infecting the body of the ‘healthy’ Aryan Volk. Unlike most of the other Communist and nationalist revolutions, it also took place in a highly urbanized and industrialized economy that was second only to ...

During the Holocaust, the logistics of systematically imprisoning and eliminating six million Jews and other "undesirables" could not have been done simply by the Nazi Party and conservative Germany. Many other factions and individuals contributed to the facilitation of the Holocaust and its continued operation on both civilian and military levels. There were many reasons why people collaborated with the Nazis, and the results were often much more widespread than the Germans themselves could have hoped for. Collaboration with the Nazis during the Holocaust was a vital component that contributed to the substantial number of victims accumulated during this dreadful ...

Transformation of characters often involves a dramatic change, whether in appearance or attitude, from one point to the next. The way characters interact and behave before said transformation is vastly different from how they would do so afterward. In Gerd Theissen's historical account of the life of Jesus, Shadow of the Galilean shows the transformation of many different characters, especially in light of their exposure to Jesus Christ. Most prominent among these characters experiencing transformation is the protagonist, Andreas, who gradually turns from a reluctant turncoat into a devout follower. In this essay, we will explore the ways in which Andreas transforms, ...

Introduction

James Scott focuses on the measures that people put in place in order to avoid dominance. He based his study on peasants within Malaysia. He further made a study in Vietnam after a war out break and wrote on various ways in which individuals tend to avoid power. He majorly argued that the low class people in the society normally prefer a patron- client kind of relationship whereby the rich tend to protect the poor (Scott, 1987). Thus when this fails to happen the inferior individuals tend to rebel. Scott has since then expanded his study to the lowly in society within ...

This novel deals with the series of puzzling disappearances and murders of black youth in Atlanta in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was published posthumously after being edited by Toni Morrison. Bambara explores “the ways in which government power and politics, communal paranoia, and personal suffering transform the Rawls family” (Greene p.338). Because it centers on one city and one family, and real events and deals with a sensitive series of racial crimes, it has tended to be read as part of the African American tradition of fiction. Indeed at the very end of the novel Zala quotes ...
