In moral philosophy, John Stuart Mill and Aristotle share differing views on morality through their theories Utilitarianism and Moral Virtues, respectively. According to Mill, “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness” (Mill 97). Utilitarianism holds that a deed is morally wrong when it reduces overall well-being and ethically correct when it increases general well-being. Instead of concentrating on the result, utilitarianism stresses the need of making oneself as important as possible during one's existence. Happiness, in Mill's view, could only be obtained via one's usefulness or value to others.

Palazzo Vecchio is a famous monument that had a significant influence over the architectural landscape of Florence. Located in the heart of Florence, this monument is depicted as a grand testament to Renaissance architecture and design. At that time of Renaissance, Palazzo Vecchio once acted as the political hub of Florence city. It also offered residence to powerful Medici Family. The monument is covered in exquisite frescoes, exquisite arches, and flawlessly symmetrical lines that define its design. Also, the beauty displayed by frescoes decorating the walls of its outstanding halls portrays the attention during its construction. Furthermore, the Palazzo's high, vaulted ceilings and huge, pointed arches are examples of its Gothic architectural features.

A virtual community is a social network made up of individuals who interact via social media and may go beyond political and geographic boundaries to pursue shared interests or objectives. Social networking platform-based online communities are among the most widely used virtual communities (Deligöz, 2022). Traditionally, a community is described as an area that is limited by geography (neighborhoods, villages, etc.). Virtual communities do not meet the basic definition of communities because they are often geographically distant. Online communities with a physical connection are represented through community websites such as Metaverse.

Plagiarism, a term often heard in academic circles, refers to the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and presenting them as one's own. This unethical practice can take many forms, including direct copying, paraphrasing without attribution, or even using another person's ideas without proper acknowledgment. In academic settings, plagiarism is considered a severe violation because it undermines the integrity of the educational process and the value of scholarly work. It is crucial to understand that plagiarism is not merely about copying text; it encompasses any unauthorized use of intellectual property, including ideas, data, and even unique expressions.

A rebirth of interest in ancient knowledge, art, and innovation occurred throughout the Renaissance, which resulted in a fresh appreciation for the stylus as a flexible tool for intellectual and creative endeavors. The stylus rose to prominence in cultural and intellectual pursuits throughout this revolutionary era through the resuscitation of antiquated methods and the investigation of novel artistic forms, influencing its function in the developing fields of education, science, and the arts. During the Renaissance, silverpoint was a widely utilized drawing technique for both fine drawings and underdrawings in panel paintings (CitizenSide 2024). In particular, fine drawings were typically completed on white or coloured backgrounds and accentuated with brush-applied white watercolor.

I smiled, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the friends who had become my second family. My father's words echoed in my mind, reinforcing the idea that life's victories are not always found in achieving the initial dreams but in the resilience to adapt and make the most of unexpected opportunities. As we continued our conversation, I realized that the lessons learned from these diverse individuals had become an integral part of my journey. Life, as my father had wisely said, would hit hard, but the ability to keep moving forward, to adapt, and to find joy in unexpected places defined the mindset of a victor.

As we made our way out of the castle, the events of the evening swirling in our minds, we knew that our lives would never be the same. We had embarked on an adventure unlike any other, one that would change us in ways we could never have imagined. And as we looked back at a distance, we couldn't help but wonder what other secrets it held within its ancient walls. However, we learned a hard lesson, never ignore your parents’ warnings, they have lived for long and have seen a lot that you haven’t seen!

Night crept into the woodland trees, their height enclosing everyone who ventured inside in terror and imprisonment. The wind was howling and hissing, yelling at me to turn around before it was too late. But the thought of me leaving my friend made keep on moving forward. It was our choice to travel to these strange places outside of Toronto, where we should continue to adventure, get terrified in the process and enjoy the trip to the fullest. Our urge to go to remote regions of the nation was ultimately sparked by our desire for photography but we never would have imagined that this would turn out to be the riskiest and most fatal choice of our adventurous life.

Li! Li! Wake up, it’s me. With a start, I get woken up in the middle of the night by my father, Wong, who has custom of checking on me. I slowly open my eyes and raise my head only to meet with father’s eyes. I blinked several times, trying to adjust my eyes to the darkness of the room. The only source of light came from the faint moonlight seeping through the window. I sleepily turned towards the sound of my father's voice, feeling a surge of relief wash over me as I saw his shadow standing by my bedside.

Mesopotamian society's governance was based on three pillars: the temple, the palace, and the city council. Temples, expansive urban complexes, served as economic hubs and religious centers. The relationship between temples and palaces during the Uruk and Early Dynastic periods remains a mystery, with evidence suggesting a complex power dynamics interplay. Kingship, or ensi, involved various duties such as temple maintenance and military leadership, with kings potentially chosen by city councils. The Code of Hammurabi, a significant legal code from early Mesopotamian society, outlines the kings' jurisdiction over commercial activities, criminal justice, and family law (Chazan 299).

Youth-driven workshops have proved effective in empowerment of children to advocate for their rights in the context of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on First Nations child welfare. Children actively participate in these workshops, becoming agents of change and contributing to discussions and decisions regarding their welfare. Notably, workshops provide children with a platform to express their concerns and experiences, thereby enhancing their agency and promoting their rights. Children's deeper awareness of their rights and confidence in expressing their perspectives are enhanced through age-appropriate dialogue and activities (King et al., 2016). These initiatives promote children's empowerment and emphasize the significance of their voices in policy discussions affecting their lives.
