Eglinton's Abortion

Overlea Boulevard, in the Thorncliffe Park community, has been identified by the City of Toronto as a main street corridor that requires a new plan to address the transition of land uses in the area and to more readily address the needs of the residents within the community. The community has a significant south Asian immigrant population in addition to various other ethnicities that live within the immediate area. It is estimated that the area immediately south of Overlea Blvd. and along Thorncliffe Park Dr. has a population of over 30,000 people. Besides the pressures of housing and providing services to such a populous and diverse community there is the need to provide community-gathering spaces and to improve Overlea Blvd. to function as

The city of New York has been a place of immigration since the beginning and is the most diverse area in the country. Looking closer we find that Queens is the most diverse borough of the city (Starr, 2015), with Astoria as the most diverse neighborhood. There are multiple immigrants from multiple origins and many of those immigrants in Queens originate from Asia, more specifically China. The highest concentration of Chinese immigrants is in Main Street, Flushing, often called the other Chinatown of New York.

Abortion has been around for centuries. Before the practice of abortions there were no doctors , medicines or hospitals available. So it was very risky. Many women use to stick themselves with needles , stick hangers inside themselves or drink harmful chemicals or powder (OBOS,2016). Because of these techniques many women were dying or having injuries after or during the abortion process. Before the 1800’s many women were getting abortions without much persecution. Before the 1800’s when abortion became illegal , many women were getting abortions around the world. Abortion became illegal to women in the 1800 's . After abortion was illegal women found it very hard to get legal abortions by a doctor so they traveled paying a high cost

According to the journal Why Abortion is Immoral of Don Marquis, a philosophy professor at Kansas University, he stated that “he tries to show that aborting a fetus is, except in exceptional circumstances, a serious moral wrong.” In fact, killing is not accepted in the society. specially to kill potential human being who has a valuable ability like ours. Although the fetus is not considered as human being and it also have a spirit and sacred, the fetus will be a human being after nine months and ten days, therefore no one could destroy another person’s

Patrick Lee and Robert George assert that abortion is objectively immoral. One of Lee and George’s main reason for coming to this conclusion is that human embryos are living human beings. This essentially validates that abortion is indeed the process of killing a human. Another main point said by the two is a rebuttal to a common argument used in favor of abortion, which states that a potential mother has full parental responsibilities only if she has voluntarily assumed them. The rebuttal to this was that the potential mother does indeed have special responsibilities to raise the child. Similarly to the responsibilities those have with their siblings, although those responsibilities were not chosen, they are definitely there. Another main

Michael Tooley takes a liberal approach on abortion. He believes that killing a fetus is morally acceptable. He debates that abortion during any stage of pregnancy should be accepted with his reason being that a fetus does not have “a serious right to life”. In his work "Abortion and Infanticide", he discuss "what characteristics [a fetus] must have in order to be considered a person." He believes that a person’s identity is progressively attained, and the fetus is not a person until birth. Tooley argues that since an embryo is not “capable of desiring to continue existing as a subject of experiences” (from class notes provided), then it is ethically acceptable to terminate the unborn. In his opinion, if it lacks complete awareness then it

Despite the attractiveness and propitious of Toronto, it has also exacerbated social polarization as a result of globalization; reflected by containing the largest financial hub in Canada, the grossly spanning condo scene, and gentrifying

The richness of El Paso, Texas relies on the vast diversity observed in each one of its citizens, which has opened the way for El Paso to develop as a multicultural city.

During the early 1800’s each state had the right to choose if abortion was legal or illegal. Most states made abortion illegal. Then In 1873 the Comstock Laws, created by Anthony Comstock, were passed. The Comstock Laws made it illegal to sell or distribute material that could be used as a contraceptive or abortion. The Comstock Laws were in place until The Roe v. Wade case of 1973. The Roe v. Wade case started in Texas when Jane Roe wanted to get an abortion but was unable to because it was illegal in Texas to get it done. Henry Wade was the attorney against Jane Roe who wanted to keep abortions illegal. The Supreme Court decided to made it legal for women to get abortions. With this new law women were able to get safe abortions done by professional

Abortion is an ongoing ethical issue that attracts many different views from various races, religions and ethical groups. Deontological or teleological views are two major categories that many major religious views can be sorted into. An ethical issue is a problem or situation that requires a person or organization to choose between alternatives that must be evaluated as right (ethical) or wrong (unethical). Deontological points of view, such as Kant, are ones that involve always telling the truth and that all morals are related universally. For example this means that you can’t lie, even if someone close to you is in danger. Teleology basically endorses that the ends satisfy the means. If it happened then by nature, it was meant to happen.

In the first chapter, Mayorga-Gallo examines multicultural neighborhoods and their experiences, “This book unpacks the meanings white and non-white residents attach to this multiethnic space and their experiences within it” (Mayorga-Gallo 4). She unpacks interracial relationships in multiethnic neighborhoods by studying an annual picnic in a typical multiethnic neighborhood in North Carolina called Creekridge Park. She guides us (the readers) through the experiences of Black, White, and Latino/a residents. She also includes racial, gender, and age demographic charts to inform the reader. She included demographics to make a point that although neighborhoods are integrated, it does not necessarily mean that that will increase positive interracial relations. Although this is an “integrated” neighborhood, a Black neighborhood resident, Roberta, went to the

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics discussed in our world today. Millions of fetuses never got a chance to be born because a mother chose to abort them. Although I do not believe in abortion, I believe a woman should have the right to decide whether to have a baby or not. Our textbook presents views and arguments on the issues.

A handshake, a tight hug, a gesture like bowing down, a kiss on the cheek, or something quite unique like sticking one’s tongue out at someone are all results of multicultural cities. According to Hutchison (2017), at the beginning of the third millennium, more than half of the global population lives in cities and economic integration as well as globalization fueled what is called cultural diversity and originated what is known now as multicultural cities. Sociology dictionary describes the multi-cultural society/city as “a society characterized by cultural pluralism”; one society rejoices cultural mixtures such as linguistic, religious, ethnical diversities (Encyclopedia.com, 2017). The wealth of multicultural cities poses challenges to the multicultural cities and their citizens. But, living in a multicultural city is by itself a very beneficial exercise not only on a personal level but also in terms of cultural exchange, economic exchange and generating new ideas.
