<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Just sending out a quick reminder that the deadline for the Discovery University Fall term is approaching quickly. Applications are due Monday, September 3<sup>rd</sup> at 4:00pm (the 3<sup>rd</sup> is a holiday,
however The Ottawa Mission is open 24/7 and applications can be left with Front Desk staff). If you have clients interested that cannot hand in the application by then, please let me know and I can make an exception. If you know of individuals that may be
a good fit, please send them an application. There will be three courses taught in the Fall 2018 term. I have attached the PDF copies of the application forms and supporting documents. It is also available through the Ottawa Mission website at
<a href="https://ottawamission.com/discovery-university-application/">https://ottawamission.com/discovery-university-application/</a>. Please note that the Digital Photography program is almost full.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The three courses that will be taught are:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Ethics of the Human Person</span></u></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">What are the challenges for ethics in our so-called “postmodern” culture? How might we understand “secularism” and “pluralism”? What ethical challenges do we meet in respect to our sense of identity and
self-worth? What is the nature of power, and how might we recognize and make our way with power and “power games”? What does it mean to take a “moral stand” or to pursue a course of action with integrity? How do we understand and manage our own moral weaknesses
and failures? What are the moral nuances entailed in the complex assortment of relationships that make up our lives? These and other fundamental questions are at the heart of this introductory course in practical ethics, which will also include insights
from Christian ethics. <u><o:p></o:p></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This course provides an introduction to political sociology. Unlike political science, which<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">deals mainly with the machinery of government, the mechanisms of public administration, and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">the formal political realm of elections, public opinion, pressure groups, and political behaviour,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">political sociology is more concerned with power; that is, the given power distributions within or<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">between societies, and the various social and political conflicts that lead to changes in this distribution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">While most of the course will be taken up with the description, analysis, and explanation of<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">the modern state, we will also look at issues relating to the sources and utilization of power, authority,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">and influence. In this course, we will not merely describe political institutions, but try to<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Body" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">explain how and why they emerged, how they function, and on whose behalf they operate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><u><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt">Digital Photography<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">The purpose of this class is to give you everything you need to know about digital photography to make a quality photograph, from camera to digital
darkroom to printing. This will include skills in using the camera, lighting, uploading images and printing. With these skills you will be able to photograph people, places and your favourite things. You will be equipped to photograph your world with confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Photography is a great tool for navigating the world. Picking up a camera, though, does not give you permission to photograph anything you want. One
needs to know the difference between public and private. Students will learn there are certain protocols for different subject matter. Through learning about the world of photography you will view the world and your place in it differently.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">What are the challenges for ethics in our so-called “postmodern” culture? How might we understand “secularism” and “pluralism”? What ethical challenges do we meet in respect to our sense of identity and
self-worth? What is the nature of power, and how might we recognize and make our way with power and “power games”? What does it mean to take a “moral stand” or to pursue a course of action with integrity? How do we understand and manage our own moral weaknesses
and failures? What are the moral nuances entailed in the complex assortment of relationships that make up our lives? These and other fundamental questions are at the heart of this introductory course in practical ethics, which will also include insights
from Christian ethics. <u><o:p></o:p></u></span></p>

darkroom to printing. This will include skills in using the camera, lighting, uploading images and printing. With these skills you will be able to photograph people, places and your favourite things. You will be equipped to photograph your world with confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

needs to know the difference between public and private. Students will learn there are certain protocols for different subject matter. Through learning about the world of photography you will view the world and your place in it differently.
