  • Ohad Benchetrit - Justin Small
    Ohad Benchetrit - Justin Small A bit about us, Ohad Benchetrit & Justin Small: As founding members of critically acclaimed Toronto based band Do Make Say Think, we have been creating engaging, epic, and emotional music together for over 23 years. As composers, our focus has always centered around melody, artistic integrity, passion, and spirited experimentation. This has opened the door to a decades long career in film composition. We’ve always picked projects with lots of heart and beauty and believe score to be an integral part of the story telling. To add color, and emotion but not to lead. To add feel but not to persuade. We’ve been honored with multiple awards, including the 2018 JUNO award for best instrumental album with our work with Do Make Say Think, the Best Original Score in 2016 at the LA scream Fest and a Canadian Screen Award in 2012 for Best original score for a documentary for Semi-Sweet: Life in Chocolate We pride ourselves on finding the right emotional tone that both the director and picture are trying to convey. With Ohad's classical training and Justin's minimalist and immediate sense of melody we feel we have created a unique sound and style of film composition that holds the emotional crux of the entire project in the highest order. We love what we do.

  • The Stability- Instability Paradox
    FEATURES | POLITICS | EAST ASIA Trouble on China’s Periphery: The Stability- Instability Paradox Today’s Chinese nationalism is built on CCP loyalty and Han culture and identity – and thus leaves out a large number of China’s people. By David Skidmore August 18, 2020 Credit: Flickr/ neiljs The transformation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from revolutionary party under Mao Zedong into a Chinese nationalist party beginning in the early ‘90s has proven a double- edged sword for the CCP and for China. While cementing popular support for the CCP among ordinary Chinese, growing nationalism has also generated resistance along China’s periphery. This stability-instability paradox has driven Beijing to adopt a set of costly and dangerous policies that have sullied China’s international reputation abroad and pushed the dream of a unified China further out of reach. Chinese Nationalism The concept of nationalism was introduced to China by the West. Traditionally, China recognized no sovereign equals — the Chinese divided the world into civilized peoples, who observed Chinese culture and tradition under the leadership of the Emperor, and barbarians who could achieve civilization only through assimilation. By the late 19th century, the press of Western imperialism forced Chinese intellectuals and political reformers to embrace nationalism as an element of modernization. As John Fitzgerald notes, however, nationalism in China arose not in the form of a people seeking a state, but in the shape of state-builders defining the Chinese nation in ways that facilitated their own aspirations to rule. This pattern of the state defining the nation rather than vice versa was itself rooted in traditional Confucian thought, which, as an ideology of the state, vested sovereignty with rulers rather than the people.

  • Remote Warfare: the Consequences and Implications of Counterterrorism Efforts in Yemen
    Remote Warfare: The Consequences and Implications of Counterterrorism Efforts in Yemen by Jonathan Schrauger DePaul University Honors Program 1 I. Introduction: Popular wisdom claims that "war never changes"1, but in November of 2001 the United States Central Intelligence Agency launched an attack that changed the face of modern warfare. Manning the controls from a remote location, an American pilot guided an armed predator through Afghan skies, launching a missile that killed al-Qaeda commander Mohammed Atef and five other assumed members of al-Qaeda in his company.2 The new technology gave the United States the power to wage war at lower costs without putting soldiers in harm's way. In addition, it also allowed for an increase in military activity while minimizing the public backlash often provoked by harm inflicted on United States armed service members. According to data collected by the New America Foundation, the Bush administration carried out 48 drone strikes in Pakistan alone through two terms of office. President Obama drastically increased the frequency of drone strikes, ordering 353 attacks during his eight years in office.3 During that time, drone activity in Pakistan saw a decline; however, President Obama ordered an additional 163 drone strikes in Yemen, as compared to a single strike ordered under President Bush. President Trump is currently following the trend of an exponential increase in drone usage, having himself authorized 24 drone strikes in Yemen during his first months in office.4 In the early years of the drone program, most information regarding the strikes remained confidential. After President Obama took office, years passed before the administration acknowledged their use publically.
