Approximately 6000 tickets were distributed and CBC agreed to tape the programme to be televised on Ideas. Patrick Watson of The Way It Is acted as moderator. Because the audience was so large, several additional halls had to be set up with closed circuit TV to relay the symposium to a wider audience.

They discussed the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s responsibility to deal with ethical issues.

Bond, professor of philosophy, and graduate students Liivi Kasah and Jean Kronberg. An audience of approximately 2000 attended his lecture, where he argued that the ideal role of education should be as a catalyst, not a conditioning influence, in the development of individuals. In the current era of reductionism, ratomorphism, and randomness, it was ever more essential to remember that the point of teaching was not facts and dates but their interpretation.

During the symposium, Meyerson appeared on a panel with Dr. D.A. Soberman, dean of law, Dr. Stanley Lash and Graham Andrews, professors of civil engineering, Craig Callon-Jones, law student, and Miss Gail Ferguson, a political science student. These was a great deal of interest in his speaking engagements because Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was discussing the establishment of a school of urban and regional planning at the time. In his lecture, Meyerson said that city planners didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t realize that their perception of the public interest was class-bound, resulting in planning programs that affected the shape of the urban environment unintentionally having large discrepancies between their purposes and their benefits. For example, he criticized the project of urban renewal and its focus on 카지노 게임 컬렉션slum clearance카지노 게임 컬렉션 as being identical to, in the United States, 카지노 게임 컬렉션Black clearance,카지노 게임 컬렉션 making room for middle-class populations.
Northrup Frye
The Ethics of Change -The Role of the 카지노게임사이트
Northrup Frye was a Canadian scholar of English literature. His literary criticism made him one of the most influential literary theorists of the twentieth century. He authored more than 20 books, hundreds of articles and book chapters and was been a professor of English at half a dozen universities. At the time of his lecture, he was 카지노게임사이트 Professor at the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Frye studied at the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto (Victoria College and Emmanuel College) before being ordained as a minister in the United Church of Canada. His influential book, Anatomy of Criticism (1957), eschewed analysing individual pieces of literature to focus instead on the recurrent and deeper imaginative patterns and archetypes that all literature is built upon. Frye was especially influential in the theorization of Canada, describing a 카지노 게임 컬렉션garrison mentality카지노 게임 컬렉션 that he believed was uniquely Canadian. His work in this stream was collected in the 1971 book The Bush Garden: Essays on the Canadian Imagination. Frye defined Canadian identity as fear of nature and adherence to the community, however, he also proposed the possibility of movement beyond the literary constraints of the garrison mentality: growing urbanization, interpreted as greater control over the environment, would produce a society with sufficient confidence for its writers to compose more formally advanced detached literature
Frye카지노 게임 컬렉션s was the final session of the symposium, with Dr. Deutsch acting as chair. His lecture focused on the role of the university in society. Frye카지노 게임 컬렉션s lecture was primarily concerned with the pressure groups acting on the university, both from within and without the institution, and the resulting confrontations. Despite these, he emphasized the need for a renewed loyalty to logical argument, repeatable experiment, established fact, and compelling works of art within the university and society more broadly. While this loyalty was not sacrosanct 카지노 게임 컬렉션 what is true today may be inadequately true tomorrow 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it is what holds society together for the moment.
Rene Dubos

Rene Dubos was a distinguished professor of pathology at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Dubos was a microbiologist, experimental pathologist, human ecologist, historian and social philosopher, and a significant figure in the development of antibiotic drugs. He carried a deep interest in the social effects of such research, dedicating the later years of his career to exploring the interplay of environmental forces and human social and cultural life. He is credited with originating the environmental slogan 카지노 게임 컬렉션think globally, act locally,카지노 게임 컬렉션 which suggested that global environmental issues can only be solved by attention to our immediate surroundings. He won many awards for his contributions, and was a graduate of Rutgers 카지노게임사이트 and l카지노 게임 컬렉션Institut National Agronomique de Paris.
In his lecture, Dubos discussed the ethical issues in genetic manipulation and biological conditioning. He maintained that the environment plays a larger role in shaping the physical and mental states of future generations than the limited amount of minor genetic changes currently possible. Diversity and freedom were the most significant factors in environmental change, and so humans must change their priorities to provide stimulus for a variety of different human designs in the future.
