    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

    “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.

  • The Consequences Of Equality In Anthem And Harrison Bergeron

    1100 Words  | 5 Pages

    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.

  • Anti Oppression Memo

    796 Words  | 4 Pages

    To have a sound footing this memo, it will be pertinent for me to start off by elucidating on the main concepts in the question- inclusion and anti- oppression. “The essence of oppression is enforced exclusion from desirable opportunities and experiences. Correspondingly, the essence of anti-oppression is inclusion”. Simply put, the concept of inclusion stipulates that people from different social, economic, cultural, religious standing are allowed the opportunity to uninhibitedly involve in all aspects of their community where they will have the opportunity to be involved in deciding matters that affect them, directly or indirectly. This type of gesture is an eloquent expression of a show of equity and social justice in any society that practices

  • Oppression In 1984

    “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.

    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.

    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.
