Gladue factors and the justice system theory The purpose of Gladue is to reduce rate of the Indigenous population in the correctional system and rates of reoffences (StackPath, 2019). Among indigenous population the inadequacy of basic things like education of mental illness and substance abuse continues till now. The impact of intergenerational factors is still existing. The first nation is always overrepresented in most sectors of legal system. Racism, discrimination, and petrol policing are few of the reasons behind this (Maurutto & Hannah-Moffat, 2016) Therefore, Gladue was introduced to bring equality in justice system for these people. Some of the Gladue factors are residential school survivor, family affected by the “Sixties Scoop, if one has put in a foster home or involved in the child protection system, experienced poverty, racism, trauma, childhood abuse, violence, or addictions (StackPath, 2019). In the paper I will be discussing: Challenges Application of s. 718.2(e).: Gladue report preparation and when to it is applicable: Effect on Criminal justice system after the implementation of Gladue. How the application of Gladue fails in certain circumstances. Bail on Gladue application: The chances of getting bail for in indigenous is low. As an aftermath of Gladue, the legal authority (lawyer and Judges) was little unsure of the use of Gladue, additionally, it was challenging for judges to determine the relevant background factors in sentencing. (Spotlight on Gladue: Challenges, Experiences, and Possibilities in Canada’s Criminal Justice System, 2018). There is still a question of Gladue’s implementation that “does the judges always take into account the Gladue factors while making decision?”. The court must recognise the history of discrimination and the seriousness of increasing number of indigenous prisoners. There is an unavoidable need to look at an Indigenous accused’s background. Cases like Lockett v. Ohio and state v. elk illustrates a deep understanding of Gladue factors and its impact of discrimination. The case of Leonard demonstrates inadequate use of Gladue principle (Manikis, 2016). This is not the only case but there are few other of this kind which indicates the unfairness towards the Indigenous community. Many have claimed the indigenous legal tradition have taken the place of restorative justice system, but the effect is not similar (Challenges and Criticisms in Applying S. 718.2(e) and the Gladue Decision – Spotlight on Gladue: Challenges, Experiences, and Possibilities in Canada’s Criminal Justice System, n.d.). Thus, Proper implication of Gladue and understanding the indigenous perspective is essential element in criminal justice system.

Media Analysis Abstract Name University Sociology Name October 21, 2022 The paper will illustrate and analyse bipolar disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) along with the causes that restricts general people from seeking help based on the movie, Silver Linings Playback. The movie is gleaned from a true story. There are two main characters of this movie (Pat and Tiffany), one suffers from bipolar disorder and other from depression, anxiety and feeling of uselessness; In mental illness field these symptoms can also be associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which reflects on the movie as well. Their illness is characterised by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. At a point both characters go under undiagnosed mental condition due to social phenomena. The paper will also demonstrate whether the consequences of seeking medical help would be beneficial or it leads to unnecessary excessive medication. The sociological concept will focuse on individual’s external factors, conformity, and views mental illness as a breakdown in the face of overwhelming environmental stress. It will also relate Hirschi’s social control theory of importance of attachment and social bonds to a real story-based movie. The end goal of the paper is to pick up through the positive and negative representation of a people living with mental illness, especially bipolar disorder and the necessity to overcome fear of stigma. Mental illness approaches irreverently, but it brings unusual empathy. Mental illness does not necessarily yield on physical condition, a mental disorder patient can seem physically fine and fit but social labelling makes a barrier of isolation from mentally ill people that cause even a more negative result.
