Lori Arviso Alvord was raised in a small town on an Indian reservation. She left her traditional Indian life to attend Dartmouth followed by Stanford University Medical School and became the first Navajo woman surgeon. After overcoming the challenges of the operating room, Dr. Alvord realized that something was missing from the contemporary medical care.

Joan Petersilia’s article focuses on the consequences society and the individual face after prisoners are released into the community because of limited rehabilitation programs and parole services. The consequences are caused by policy makers not giving attention to newly released inmates because they ignore parole services. This is partially because rehabilitation programs and the parole system are scarcely funded.

Jerome Klassen (2015) claims that “Harper’s foreign policy agenda is best viewed as a radical extension of Canadian state practices in the neoliberal period” (section “Before Harper,” para. 5). Arguably, Harper is considered a Canadian neoconservative chiefly due to his perseveration of social conservatism in regards to military expenditure, considering Canada’s defence spending reached "the highest level since the Second World War” in 2011 (Klassen, 2015, section “Protection of Capital,” para. 22). However, this argument fails to see Harper’s desire for a neoliberal dominance behind these radical expenditures. For example, Klassen claims that although Harper fully supported the war in Afghanistan, in actuality the Canadian military personnel

Many of the characters we studied in this summer had a very difficult situation caused by themselves. Undoubtedly, each person has their own defects, however this does not mean we have to be slaves of our weaknesses and fears. Pitifully, some fears can become so strong that they can turn a person's life miserable. In addition, people who are victims of their own fear and sins can commit insane things to the people who are around them. Some clear examples of this type of people are Mathilde Loisel, Mrs. Mallard and the Narrator of the Black Cat.
