| Building the New European Order
|
| By Raymond Brown |
| |
| Abstract: |
| The European Union holds the possibility of transforming
the continent into a pivotal global state, provided the continent’s
leaders keep the Union focused. This commentary looks at the
risk that European leaders are taking in rapid EU expansion,
as well as some of the divisions and problems that still stand
in the way of unlimited EU growth. |

Perceptions of Lewis’ “Out of the Silent Planet” |
| By Cyrus Javadi |
| |
| Abstract: |
| British author C.S. Lewis is well known for his
writings as a Christian apologist. However, in the 1940’s
Lewis penned a science fiction/fantasy story which presents
his views on an entirely different subject. Out of the
Silent Planet is a light and lively story about a journey
to an alien planet. Though intended for enjoyment, it includes
more earnest notions. I believe that Out of the Silent
Planet reveals Lewis’ opinions pertaining to what we know
as “Post-Colonial” thought. This paper will summarize Out
of the Silent Planet and illustrate the Post-Colonial
themes, which are found throughout. |
