This analysis of OConnor analyzes her writing through the frameworks of Platos discussion on democracy & tyranny, as well as Tocqueville description of the shift from aristocracy to democracy. The characters in OConnors story are summarized & particular events are highlighted to understand its similarities to the ideas of Plato & Tocqueville. The story comes to a pinnacle point of divinity that forces individual choice, which represents the attempts to change the world by force or by the mystery of existence. References. G. Chen

This article contextualizes and presents an online nationwide survey we have conducted at federal, provincial, and territorial levels across Canada. The survey is bilingual and has been supported by the SSHRC and the University of Guelph. Elected officials were approached in confidence to complete a survey concerning their attitudes towards Aboriginal history, changes in the current political system to facilitate increased Aboriginal representation, and the applicability of international law, specifically the UN Genocide Convention, to interpret Aboriginal experiences in the Indian Residential Schools. We argue that the qualitative and quantitative data we have obtained mirrors survey of the Canadian mainstream electorate in significant wars.
