Clannish creep throttles civic spirit
Article Abstract:
Issues relating to the contention that the concept of public duty in the United Kingdom is being eroded by the elevation of individual rights and the erosion of national loyalty are examined. It is argued that national loyalty elevates territory above religion and territorial jurisdiction above credal, tribal and familial ties, exalting place into a public arena where disputes can be settled without reference to private gain and strangers can mingle in safety and that the breakdown of national loyalty and the rise of private rights will result in public arenas becoming increasingly privatised by cartels and cliques and becoming increasingly corrupt.

Laid low by junk food and Jesus
Article Abstract:
Issues relating to the battle of the native Innu of Labrador, Canada, to reclaim their dignity and independence and the tension between preserving the traditional Innu way of life and surviving in Canada are examined. It is argued that the Canadian state has proven singularly incapable of helping people such as the Innu negotiate the balance between tradition and modern life and that the state has continued to implement policies that are largely colonial and racist that have done little to instill native communities with hope.
