Describe the challenges that Canada and the United States had to overcome to establish themselves as transcontinental powers. (Ch 25)

Augustine said that if no one asks me, I know what time is, but if someone asks I do not know. Try to do what Augustine says is hard: Explain what time seems to be to you. Describe as carefully as you can how you experience the sensation of the flow of time. What are its qualities? Do you feel that time flows faster during some periods and more slowly during others? When does it seem to you to flow fast and when does it seem to you to flow slowly?

2. Augustine says only the present thinnest instant of time is real. All the rest either no longer exists or does not yet exist. Do you agree that is how you experience time? Suppose that you were convinced that only objective time is real. Would this reduce your anxieties about aging, dying, or losing those you love? Why or why not?

Mr. Armstrong is a 3rd grade Language Arts teacher, at Cold Creek Elementary. He shares students with his teaching partner, Mrs. Long, who teaches Math, Science and Social Studies. These two teachers have been teaching partners for several years, and have shared personal information with each other as it pertains to their work and home life. Recently, Mrs. Long has confided in Mr. Armstrong about difficulties she is having with some medication she takes for anxiety, and she let him know that she would be missing school in to go to a doctor’s appointment for help with the issue. While Mrs. Long was out for her appointment, Mr. Armstrong let the substitute, who is also a parent of a student who attends Cold Creek Elementary, know that Mrs. Long would probably be needing her several more times in the upcoming weeks, saying specifically that she would be visiting the doctor until she gets her anxiety controlled by her medications. Mr. Armstrong’s purpose in speaking to the substitute was only to see about securing her for upcoming days because he prefers to have consistency for the students.

Terrorism and Torture

WASHINGTON—Most Americans and a majority of people in Britain, France and South Korea say torturing terrorism suspects is justified at least in rare instances, according to AP-Ipsos polling. The United States has drawn criticism from human rights groups and many governments, especially in Europe, for its treatment of terror suspects. President Bush and other top officials have said the U.S. does not torture, but some suspects in American custody have alleged they were victims of severe mistreatment. The polling, in the United States and eight of its closest allies, found that in Canada, Mexico and Germany people are divided on whether torture is ever justified. Most people opposed torture under any circumstances in Spain and Italy. “I don’t think we should go out and string everybody up by their thumbs until somebody talks. But if there is definitely a good reason to get an answer, we should do whatever it takes,” said Billy Adams, a retiree from Tomball, Texas. In America, 61 percent of those surveyed agreed torture is justified at least on rare occasions. Almost nine in 10 in South Korea and just over half in France and Britain felt that way.

Do you agree with most Americans that the use of torture is sometimes morally permissible in fighting terrorism? If so, what circumstances do you think would justify torture? If not, why not?

On March 12, 2009, a former chief of the New York Stock Exchange pled guilty to one of the largest financial frauds in history. Bernie Madoff, founder of his own financial firm and active philanthropist, had been swindling thousands of private investors—many of whom were close friends—out of billions of dollars. Madoff had achieved a degree of personal financial success few individuals ever attain, though he will be spending the rest of his life in prison. Would you consider Madoff an intelligent person?
