CASE STUDY

The discovery of mass unmarked graves at the sites of former residential schools in Canada have brought the world’s renewed attention to a dark and shameful chapter of Canadian history. It is the responsibility of the Canadian government to not only acknowledge these events but also to take action against the systematic discrimination against our Indigenous population. The most important thing any government system can do when facing the consequences of their history is to learn from their mistakes and ensure it will never happen again. Using some of the articles provided in the Module 7 unit content, as well as your own independent research, please write a 3-paragraph report about the Missing Children and Unmarked Burials of Canada’s Residential Schools. Within your report I’d like you to:

  1. Summarize the discovery of the mass graves. How were they discovered? How many have been found?
  2. Report on the Canadian government’s response to the discovery. What have they done since to address the tragic events? Have any new policies been put in place?
  3. Provide your opinion on Canada’s response. Do you feel they’ve done enough? Is there anything else you feel they should do?

Give two changes in his intellectual pursuit and explain how each one leads him a step closer to God and conversion.

/in /by

Intellectual pursuit: a step closer to finding God in Books 6-7.

By the end of Book 7, Augustine has yet to become a Christian. Nonetheless, with a more open mind, he begins to read the Old Testament–“the old writings of the Law and the Prophets” (6.6). This act helped to lead him to be more open to Christianity: “I now gave my preference to the Catholic faith” (6.7). Yet he still wrestles with big issues such as evil (7.7 & 7.11). He seeks answers by reading Neoplatonism (“books of the Platonists”) as described in 7.13-16. Then he reads the New Testament, especially the letters of St. Paul, and sees something new (7.27, last chapter of Book 7). In short, he’s still a way from conversion but also a step closer than he had been before. For this response, give two changes in his intellectual pursuit and explain how each one leads him a step closer to God and conversion.
