The Supreme court ruled that Section 181 of the Criminal Code intersects section 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees the right to freedom of expression as long as the expression is not violent. They defined that the booklet that he created was not violent and allowed under the concept of freedom of expression as the form is different from the content in this scenario thus, the allegation made did not apply. The court found that section 181's attempt to censor all expressions unjustifiable since many acceptable expressions could fit that description. According to analysis, section 181 was a reasonable limit on freedom of expression in a free and democratic society. In the end, majority of the Supreme Court held that section 181 of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional and therefore, his conviction was overturned even though this is not what most wanted, the situation was dealt in this matter due to the
Oppression The society in Anthem, by Ayn Rand has many oppressive rules that control the people living in it. These rules exist to repress people from feeling anything special for someone else, to cover up the past world, and to keep everyone completely equal. These horrible rules would certainly not exist in the world that Equality envisions creating at the end of the story. Clearly the rules put in place by The Council decrease the quality of life for everyone living in that society, and can give someone a new appreciation for the freedoms they have as individuals.
Paragraph 3 - Chapter 3: A Stirring Passion for Equality This chapter is largely about the Fifteenth Amendment and how it was not being enforced in the south. During the 1940 presidential elections, Parks wanted to vote for Roosevelt because this would be Roosevelt's third term, if he won. She also wanted to vote for Roosevelt because she wanted Eleanor Roosevelt to be the first lady. Parks admired Eleanor’s courage for standing up for African-American singers.
“You learn something new everyday” is a saying that is tossed around often times sarcastically, but when deeply explored it really is a true statement. A large amount of people in the United Sates would agree that there are certain aspects of the lives of indigenous peoples such as the Mayans, Aztecs, an Incas that our society can learn from daily. Aspects such as: creating a legacy to leave behind, learning to face injustice, but most importantly practicing civic engagement when possible. The aspects listed above would be tremendously helpful especially in a world where injustice still exists and a divide is on the rise. If people from thousands of years ago could grasp the three concepts of creating a legacy, facing injustices, and practicing
Culture orientation paradigm acknowledges that culture differences and rules exist. Learning the cultures difference, norms, and rule will help prevent misunderstanding, embarrassment, and anger when groups are perceived to be a way that they are not. A person can study the differences in a culture and can be educated about a particular group. But still might not be able to provide adequate support or meet the cultures and group needs because of additional factors.
I very much agree with Frye’s concept of oppression. She started by mentioning three words: “Mold. Immobilize. Reduce.” She discussed how barriers are set in place to assure women are acting the same.
Equality is what most people strive for in their lives. Like “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” humans are constantly searching for the “just right” idea. However, hopefully we understand that there are flaws in society so it can never be ‘just right’ or completely equal. Both authors of dystopian stories, such as Ayn Rand, author of the novella Anthem, and Kurt Vonnegut, author of the short story“Harrison Bergeron”, display what total equality is and its consequences in a dystopian society. These stories explain thoroughly how the idea of equality is naturally impossible and how corruption will always exist.
I’ve been so consumed and focused on the power I do not have and the oppression I have experienced because I am African American. I have failed to recognize the privileges I experience due to being Christian. Privilege involves unearned rights and advantages solely based on membership in a cultural group. Christians have several advantages because the presumption that the belief in Christianity is a social norm; this can often exclude the traditions and values of other religions through institutional religious discrimination.

“ For a better comprehension of Glaucoma For nearly century glaucoma is as one of the most common eye pathologies around the world, but also one of the leading causes of blindness. In fact, Glaucoma specifically in the United States, according to the book essentials of ophthalmology “ affects more than two million Americans of all age” (p. 108). Before going further in facts, a deeper look about such disease is necessary; an analysis of his origin, the causes and the solutions to the problem are indispensable. Moreover, an examination of why is African -American mostly affect by that kind of disease is addressed. ORIGIN, DEFINITION, CAUSES Douglas H. Johnson and Richard F. Brubaker in the book “essentials of ophthalmology” asserts that “the term glaucoma (glaukos, bluish green) dates from ancient Greek time and referred to blindness from multiple causes..”
Anti Oppressive Practice AOP I have chosen AOP as the second critical theory in this piece because I believe it is compatible and intersects well with the components of CRT. AOP is a principle and a theory that seeks radical change to how society is structured by advocating for anti-racial and anti-discriminatory on how power and wealth is determined and shared, a change for social justice just as CRT. (Robins 2011) describes AOP as a central on the misuse and usage of power on and by different system within community. He further explained that AOP should be seen as posture or viewpoint that needs to be incorporated with other methods and theory in social work.
“Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed - no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull” (Orwell, 25). This depiction of absolute oppression by George Orwell in his novel 1984 is his idea of the future in a totalitarian dystopian world where there is no freedom, fairness and everyone is completely brainwashed. Similarly, the government in Terry Gilliams movie Brazil control and monitor their citizens, oppressing them to the point they are afraid to have a disloyal thought about their government, reminiscent of thought crime.
The Yellow Wallpaper In The Yellow Wallpaper written in 1894, Gilman portrays the protagonist as a victim of oppression. Oppression is defined as being heavily burdened mentally or physically by troubles or adverse conditions. Oppression is also a form of authority over someone who is in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. During the 1800’s women were subject to strict laws of society which prevented them from many civil rights and opportunities.

Social work practice has been altered, revised, and rewritten as society begins to acknowledge the acceptable oppressions and attempts to change the current circumstances. Every situation, when working with a service user, is different. Therefore, a plethora of theories, practices, and perspectives must be considered. There is not a definitive way to practice social work; multiple theories are considered per case to best accommodate the service user in the least distressing and oppressive way possible. A practice that has recently become popular in social work is anti-oppressive practice.
