    Summary Of Scott Peck's The Different Drum

    Scott Peck, author of The Different Drum: Community and Making Peace, describes community as "people living together in both freedom and love." Communities cannot be formed around people (individualists) who are busy satisfying their own needs first and who are not willing to work hard to make love work. Upon entering this class I realized that a community is not an automatic thing. It does not just appear out of thin air. A group must work together to build bonds between each other. The community in which we are trying to build upon is compiled of many different types of people varying in age, race, sex, class, career, etc. It is going to take some time to build the trust, communication, freedom, and love that we need to form a community.…

    Growth Rates

    There are three categories of factors that contribute to a low or high growth rates. These categories are the demand factor, the efficiency factor, and supply factors. Government spending or exports can lead to a higher to aggregate demand and higher economic growth. “Economic growth requires increases in total spending to realize the output gain made available by increased production capacity” (McConnell, 2012, p. 513). One way to accomplish this is by lowering interest rates. Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper. This encourages consumers to spend more money. Efficiency is attained when resources are used “…in the least costly way to produce the specific mix of goods and services that maximizes people’s well-being” (McConnell, 2012, p. 513). For example, when human resources are not being used to their full potential unemployment will increase. As unemployment increases, total spending will decrease. This will lower growth rates. Supply factors such as increases in natural resources, increases in human resources, increases in the supply of capital goods, and improvements in technology create a higher economic growth rate (McConnell, 2012, p. 512).…

Returning to the nation that would eventually kill him, Riel showed that his heart rested in Rupert’s Land, and he wanted nothing but to protect his people’s language, religion and culture.

    Jean Vanier: Revelation of True Beauty

    As a child, Jean Vanier knew he was called to do something bigger than himself, and he found beauty in every trial he faced. He was born September 13, 1928, in Geneva, Switzerland to Georges and Pauline Vanier, devout Catholics, who were known and loved for their social concerns (“Vanier, Jean” 1073). Vanier’s early life was touched by world events. In 1940, the family, then in Paris, fled the Nazis with other refugees and after numerous perils arrived back in Canada(“Vanier, Jean” 1074). This horrific experience made him want to help in ending the war. In 1942 at age thirteen, Vanier asked his father’s permission to make the dangerous trip back across the Atlantic and enter the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, England (“Vanier, Jean” 1074). After eight years of serving in the navy, he decided to focus on a different sort of dicipline: academics (Higgins 2). Michael Higgins says, “After acquiring a doctorate in 1962 at the Institut Catholique in Paris...Vanier taught briefly at the University of St. Michael 's College in Toronto” (2). After teaching for only one semester, Vanier returned to France to visit his spiritual mentor, “The Dominican friar Thomas…

    Tommy Douglas

    There are many significant Canadians that have done incredible things for Canada. But, in my opinion, the greatest of all is Thomas Douglas. He was born on October 20, in Falkirk, Scotland. Douglas is historically significant in Canada because of the main reason why Canada is known for, it’s healthcare. He was known to be the “Father of Medicare”. He was the first to create a provincial hospital insurance program which ended up becoming national throughout Canada. An idealistic who achieved his dreams, he changed the face of Canadian politics. He created the safety net which we have as Canadians today that ensures we will always have the help we need. Tommy Douglas is what made Canada’s healthcare what it is, allowing people to get healthcare when they need it.…

    Jacques Cartier's Impact On Canada

    Jacques Cartier was a French explorer in the 1500’s. Cartier was commissioned by King Francis I of France in 1532 to explore the “New World”, and set out with two ships in 1535 in search of a “land where quantities of gold and other precious things are to be found” (“Jacques Cartier”, Gale). Cartier was a skilled navigator, and reached Newfoundland, Canada in 20 days. Being unfamiliar with the new waters, he kidnapped two native children, and used them to help him navigate. Though the Vikings and European fishermen had ventured to Canada before him, he was given credit for “discovering” Canada for the King of France (“Jacques Cartier”, Gale). This discovery changed the world in a monumental way by connecting two different nations and cultures that had previously not known of each other, leading to France’s colonization of Canada and exploitation of its resources.…
