In her scholarly article “Why I’m Still Writing Women’s Literary History”, Professor Devoney Looser astutely asserts that women’s literary history is a field that is alive and thriving and therefore deserves to be treated as such. Her argument centers around addressing concerns expressed by various colleagues of hers that the academic field of women’s studies is now “passe” due to taking a “separatist” approach. Looser explicitly states that her article is therefore “a credo that has its origins in defense” (Looser 222). The article address the reasons why people may hold this belief, and Looser presents reasons that show the contrary. Looser eloquently refutes claims that women’s studies are passe by considering the other side of the argument,…

If this test was to be used, I believe that we would likely win under summary judgment. Then there is the Legislative body of law. This body is typically more favorable to the government because of their long standing tradition.

crime reporting (UCR) survey was formed in 1962 to estimate the frequency rate of crime in Canada from emphasis on police-reporting viewpoints. Data included in these statistics are the clearance rates of incidents, quantity of criminal events occurrence, and amount of offenders accused. The strengths of the UCR are that it reveals a particular tendency and patterns in order to perceive a representation to distinguish the occurrence of crime over a period of time.

The twentieth century seemingly came to an abrupt end much as it had opened – with large fragmentations of violence and treacherous behaviour towards each other, specifically hate crimes. Racial, gender, ethnics and religious violence persists as mechanisms of oppression, which sadly is not too dissimilar from the past century with the likes of Hitler and his Nazi doctrines which drew heavily on extremist Christian beliefs of Arianism or more contemporary acts of hate crimes like the killing of…

They would not be able to finish…
