Achieving Reconciliation: An Analysis On Policies Affecting The Indigenous Peoples Of Canada, Sandra Buric Jan 2023

Achieving Reconciliation: An Analysis On Policies Affecting The Indigenous Peoples Of Canada, Sandra Buric

Major Papers

Although there has been an increased focus on the importance of the Canada federal government’s use of policy to achieve reconciliation, studies show that they failed to produce meaningful change for the Indigenous population. This exploratory paper aims to analyze the Canadian governments use of policy and its framework to evaluate its efficacy and uncover what factors have potentially caused past policies to fail. A detailed examination on past and current statistics on key indicators for the Indigenous population is used to define the problem. A detailed policy analysis is then utilized to evaluate the efficacy of the policy, identify …


Chains Shall He Break: A Vision For Reconciling Worship, Kyle Joseph Harmon Jan 2023

Chains Shall He Break: A Vision For Reconciling Worship, Kyle Joseph Harmon

Seattle Pacific Seminary Projects

In the Evangelical church, there is a disparity between the worship of the church and a lack of care for the marginalized and oppressed in American society. Though their worship proclaims freedom, chains being broken, and captives set free, the church does little to advocate for the actual poor and disenfranchised. Because of these and other reasons, the American evangelical church has come to resemble something other than both its heritage and the Body of Christ described in Scripture. Instead, it has become a cloistered, segregated, echo chamber for those who agree on orthodoxy to retreat into and sense the …


Beyond Negation And Excluded Middle: An Exploration To Embrace The Otherness Beyond Classical Logic System And Into Neutrosophic Logic, Florentin Smarandache, Victor Christianto Jan 2023

Beyond Negation And Excluded Middle: An Exploration To Embrace The Otherness Beyond Classical Logic System And Into Neutrosophic Logic, Florentin Smarandache, Victor Christianto

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

As part of our small contribution in dialogue toward better peace development and reconciliation studies, and following Toffler & Toffler’s War and Antiwar (1993), the present article delves into a realm of logic beyond the traditional confines of negation and the excluded middle principle, exploring the nuances of "Otherness" that transcend classical and Nagatomo logics. Departing from the foundational premises of classical Aristotelian logic systems, this exploration ventures into alternative realms of reasoning, specifically examining Neutrosophic Logic and Klein bottle logic (cf. Smarandache, 2005). The study challenges conventional boundaries and explores the implications of embracing paradoxes and self-reference in logic …


The Anti-Esg Equity Premium, John Wallace Jan 2023

The Anti-Esg Equity Premium, John Wallace

CMC Senior Theses

In this paper, I estimate the monthly alpha of sin stocks as a means to assess the influence that ESG investors exert on the public equity markets. I hypothesize that the systematic avoidance of sin stocks leads to the outperformance of a broad sin portfolio relative to conventional market benchmarks. Further, given the increase in the proportion of ESG-oriented assets under management in recent years, I hypothesize that the observed alpha in more recent periods exceeds that of prior periods. Consistent with the first plank of my hypothesis, I provide strong evidence for the outperformance of sin stocks over time …
