This paragraph is based on my second question, Why do different people have different perspectives on how decisions should be made? When there are decisions that have to be made, people will have dissimilar perspectives on how that decision should be made. The definition of [|perspective] is the state of ones ideas, the facts known to one, etc. In parliament, our government votes to decide whether or not certain [|bills] should be accepted as Canadian laws. Sometimes, a perspective can develop from opinions on such things as occupations, religion, and moral issues. An example of different perspectives on people’s decisions occurred before and after   June 28th, 2005 when  [|Bill C-38]  was legalized (the actual date that the bill was officially “legalized” was on July 20th, 2005. June 28 was when it went through parliament for the last time). During the four months that Bill C-38 was being passed through parliament, many Canadian citizens’ perspectives, both pro and con, were very different. For some people, their line of work would increase financially if the Bill was legalized, which would mean that the person’s perspective would be pro towards Bill C-38. Out of the estimate of the [|33,504,700] Canadian populations, only a few would benefit financially. Many Canadians had very adverse opinions towards Bill C-38 because it went against religious beliefs. In the bible, it says, “One day the Pharisees were badgering him (Jesus): “Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” He (being Jesus) answered, “Haven’t you read in your Bible that the Creator (God) originally made man and woman for each other, male and female? And because of this, a man leaves father and mother and is firmly bonded to his wife, becoming one flesh-No longer two bodies but one. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.” (Matthew 19, 3-6, [|The Message]). This verse is saying that marriage is construed as a union between an individual man and an individual woman to the exclusion of all others, NOT for the same sex, or gender if you will. Both Canadian citizens and Leaders in our government were pro and opposed to the bill. In Parliament, many of the MPs (Member of Parliament) and MCs (Members of the Cabinet) were faced with a choice that would show their personal moral stance. [|Pat O’Brien] left the Liberal party on June 6th 2oo5 to sit as an independent and fight as much as possible against Bill C-38. Pat O’Brien was a liberal who represented the federal riding of London-Fanshawe. (“Ontario Liberal MP to sit as Independent”) He was in the House of Commons for 12 years, and when something arose that was in contrast to his moral issues, he chose not to go with everyone else, and left 12 years of government and relationships with people behind. Whether the decision to leave was tough or not, Pat O’Brien chose not to “go with the flow” and made a choice that showed his true morals, which intern, showed how different people have different perspectives on how decisions should be made.

[|History Of Same Sex Marriage In Canada (and yes you can click on it:)] **//__ Other sources: __//** [] [] [] [] [] [] ) [] =Paragraph one:= This paragraph is from the first question, To what extent can public pressure effect government decisions?

In Canada and all over the world, government decisions can be influenced by pressure applied from the public. Such pressure can be applied through direct communication such as letters, e-mails, phone calls, and other kinds such as protests, petitions, and public opinion polls. Pressure by definition means to force (someone) toward a particular end; influence. Part of living in Canada is the benefit of a democratic government. We can write letters to our Municipal, Provincial, and Federal Government Leaders regarding positive and negative concerns. On June 28 2005, a bill was passed legalizing same sex marriage called Bill C38. Bill C38 is an excellent example of how pressure from the public effected government decisions. On Monday, June 20th 2005, (eight days before the bill was passed) there was a protest outside of Parliament Hill, where supporters of the Bill C38 stated, "Enough Debate, make Bill C38 Law now". Pressure was placed from people not only for the bill, but also against it. A group called Canada Family Action sent a petition out to be signed by people that disagreed with Bill C38. It was a Canadian wide petition. Public opinion polls since 2002 show that Canadians did not support same sex marriage. Between November 2002 and April 2005, the Bill's support just grazed the 50% mark. The most pressure in support of Bill C38 came from EGALE, Canadians for equal marriage, the democratic party, and a handful of liberal religious groups. They argued with Paul Martin, that Bill C38 was more a human rights issue than anything else. In four months traditional marriage was changed in Canada forever because of pressure from those people. Well done, Dan 9/10 -"Enough Debate, make Bill C38 Law now" quoted from,  []

Dan, this paragraph is well done. Your tone is very professional and suits your audience well. (big points for being able to alter you conversational writing to something more formal) Just a couple of tips: 1) Your first sentence is a great topic sentence - but let's make it a thesis statement. You have told what the paragraph is about. Now I want you take actually give point that can be validated in the rest of the the paragraph. Here is an idea: "In Canada, and all over the world, gvernments can be influenced when pressure is applied by the public". Then you can give examples (as you have done). 2) When you introduce the related story, you must call attention to this as the example that it is. You might say: "An example of this happened on June 28, 2005 when...... Excellent! CF

Does this work Cathie? Dan?
