While the information given in the story was scarce, there were no reports of a Kirpan being used a weapon before, any problems with weapons, or any attempt to find an alternative instead of disallowing the Kirpan completely . In the case Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys The Supreme Court of Canada decided that the decision to prohibit the wearing of a Kirpan to be a violation of one’s fundamental freedom.

Lights, camera, action! The light switches on, and shines brightly in the center of the stage. Two people walk towards it, these are actors that were told to come out at this exact moment by the director. After days of intense rehearsals. The two young actors burst. “We are tired of working for you” the two participants yell towards the director. The director in a surprising manner walks up to the stage, stares down at the performers and laughs. “You are going nowhere; I have your contract and your pay, now back to your positions!” The performers stand and continue their roles with no opinion in the matter. The camera turns off, the shadows of the actors disappear. The common person stands up and is face to face with the director. The director
The "technological retardist" theories are strongest in considering the erosion of "King Cotton` s" pre eminence, due in part to America` s competition and, the critics suggest, the British cotton manager` s lack of judgement. It is said that the slow adoption of the ring spindle in spinning, and the low uptake of the automatic loom in weaving seriously hampered those industries` competitive edge.
Industrialization, as it did in other countries, caused the formation of factories and machines that sped up how much cotton products are produced. In document 6, Radhakamal Mukerjee, an Indian economist, says “there has been a rapid decline of the hand-woven cloth industry…on account of the competition of machine manufactures…though many wear

In the article “Foster kids do equally well when adopted by gay, lesbian or heterosexual parents” by Stuart Wolpert, high risk children from foster care are taken care of really well by parents or couples regardless of gender and sexual orientation. In Los Angeles County, 82 high risk children were adopted by lesbian, gay and straight parents and went through cognitive assessment. The children’s IQ levels raised by ten points and behavior remained stable. The children from birth had faced neglect, prenatal substances, and premature births, but their social development skills were stable after adoption. There are concerns regarding homosexual parents adopting children because in society a man and woman are the sole parents not two men and women.

Over the course of the novel, The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, Gogol is constantly moving, and by the time he is in his late twenties, he has already lived in five different homes, while his mother, Ashima has lived in only five houses her entire life.

Chandragupta converted to Jainism in his late...
From spinning and weaving that was done in households for domestic consumption, went to the Spinning Frame developed by Richard Arkwright. With this, production in Britain of cotton textile, between 1770 and 1790, in 20 years alone the output increased tenfold.
During the Industrial Revolution, the textile industry received high demand for its cloth goods. However, the production of such goods was very slow. As demand rose, the need for a faster, cheaper, and more efficient way of producing enough cloth goods became more urgent. Thus, inventors began developing new ways to produce cloth goods. One of the best examples was English inventor James Hargreaves. Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, a device in which spinners would use his right hand to quickly spin a wheel to rotate spindles and spin 8 threads around 8 spindles attached to a wooden frame. Since each spinning jenny could spin several threads simultaneously, the device dramatically increased the rate at which cloth was produced and the quantity of cloth that was made. This allowed for the textile industry to meet the large demand for cloth goods of the time and enhance their method of produ...
