Study Notes

SCS Final Exam Study

Labeling Minorities: Superficial tolerance may accept diversity through stereotypes and categorizations, perpetuating prejudice. Segregation may limit true integration, and scapegoating minorities may blame them for societal issues.
Breivik's Belief System: Breivik believed Muslims would become the majority of Europe by 2080, imposing their religious ideals and subjugating Christians and Jews. He targeted politicians who allowed Muslim immigration, hoping to eliminate a generation of tolerant leaders.
Sanctity of Life Belief: Life is inherently sacred and should be preserved. This belief opposes euthanasia, suicide, and abortion.
Quality of Life Belief: The importance of an individual's quality of life is also prioritized, supporting rights to die, euthanasia, and decisions that improve life quality (like abortion).
Origin of Sanctity of Life: The concept of a sacred human life often comes from religious beliefs emphasizing creation in God's image.
Historical Examples of Christians Ignoring Sanctity of Life: Crusades, Inquisition, Colonialism, and Slavery are given as examples where Christians disregarded the sanctity of life.
Significance in Death/Dying Cases: Cases like Sue Rodriguez, Robert Latimer, Nancy B, and Gloria Taylor are highlighted by their relevance in debates on assisted suicide or end-of-life choices.
Eras of Abortion Issues: Historical developments include legal restrictions like Lord Ellenborough's Act (1803) or Offences Against Person Act (1837) and evolving legal interpretations around quickening and conception. Pope Pius IX's Declaration and The Infant Life Preservation Act shaped the legal discourse.
Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life Arguments: Pro-choice advocates emphasize bodily autonomy and women's control over reproductive decisions, whereas pro-life advocates prioritize the sanctity of the fetus and the right to life.
Ronald Weitzer's Paradigms: Weitzer identifies the empowerment paradigm (sex work as choice), oppression paradigm (negative consequences from societal factors), and polymorphous paradigm (Acknowledging both empowering and oppressive aspects), which different groups can employ in analysing sex work.
Differing Opinions of Polygamy: Scholars argue polygamous structures can exploit and harm children, violate human rights, and diminish women's agency. Conversely, some uphold the right to adult consent and religious freedom within polygamous relationships.
Mormon vs. Protestant Women's Rights: Historically, Mormon women in some contexts possessed more voting, property, and community leadership rights than their Protestant counterparts in the United States, illustrating varying social and religious norms.
Swinging Club Case (R v Labaye 2005): The ruling highlights differing legal interpretations of obscenity and adult consensual behavior.
Cosmopolitan Mindset Characteristics: Respecting diversity, identifying as global citizens, committed to human rights, open-mindedness, and ethical universalism are characteristics of a cosmopolitan mindset.
