Emancipation 释放奴隶, 还自由身 ([ɪˌmænsɪˈpeɪʃ(ə)n] the process of giving freedom and rights to someone. the emancipation of slaves. emancipate [ɪˈmænsɪpeɪt] to give freedom and rights to someone. ) of minors is a legal mechanism by which a minor is freed from control by their parents or guardians, and the parents or guardians are freed from any and all responsibility toward the child. Children are considered legally incompetent to enter into contracts and to handle their own affairs. Emancipation overrides that presumption and allows emancipated children to legally make certain decisions on their own behalf. Even without a court proceeding, some jurisdictions will find a minor to be emancipated for purposes of making a decision in the absence of the minor's parents or guardians. For example, a child in most jurisdictions can enter into a binding contract to procure their own basic needs. However, in such cases where a child's needs are not provided for by a parent, a child will often be deemed a ward of the state and have a court appointed guardian placed in the role of the parent. 5.

In criminal law, an overt act 昭然若揭的, 不加掩饰的 is the one that can be clearly proved by evidence and from which criminal intent can be inferred, as opposed to a mere intention in the mind to commit a crime. Therefore, it is an act that, while innocent per se, can potentially be used as evidence against someone during a trial to show participation in a crime. For instance, the purchase of a ski mask, which can conceal identity, is generally a legal act but may be an overt act if it is purchased in the planning of a bank robbery. The term is more particularly employed in cases of treason, which must be demonstrated by some overt or open act. ) shit? Yep. Fucker.

John Allen Chau: Do missionaries help or harm?: While he was not himself a missionary, Chau did say that his aim was to bring the gospel to the tribe. And his attempts to do so have brought into focus the hundreds of thousands of Christians around the world spreading their faith. But who are these missionaries? What do they hope to achieve? And are they a positive force around the world, or an unwelcome presence? Religious people were often at the vanguard of 急先锋, 先锋团, 先锋队 colonial efforts. Spreading religion was seen as a way to "civilise" people outside of Europe and the US. Over time, this turned to physical as well as spiritual development. "However much this might be a trigger for conversations about missionary projects, John Chau is not a representative evangelical ([ˌiːvænˈdʒelɪkl̩] I. relating to a form of Christianity in which church services are very lively and people express their religious beliefs in an open and enthusiastic way. evangelical preachers. II. someone who is evangelical is very enthusiastic about something and likes to tell other people how good it is. )," David Hollinger, retired professor emeritus 退休教授 ([ɪˈmerɪtəs] used in the title of someone such as a professor, chairman, or president if they no longer do that job.

Something that is anomalous is different from what is usual or expected. [formal] For years this anomalous behaviour has baffled scientists. His position here is anomalous.)." "Evangelicals are still proselytising (proselytize [ˈprɑs(ə)ləˌtaɪz] to try to persuade people to share your religious or political beliefs. If you proselytize, you try to persuade someone to share your beliefs, especially religious or political beliefs. I assured him we didn't come here to proselytize. Christians were arrested for trying to convert people, to proselytise them. ) [trying to convert], but they're now also building hospitals and schools," he says. "A lot have very strong service projects." "It isn't about getting people to believe like we believe," he writes. "It is about people seeing for themselves 亲眼去看, from the Bible, that God has a plan for mankind in general and everyone in particular." Andrew Preston, the professor of American history at the University of Cambridge, says that even historically, some missionaries were at the forefront of 在前沿 learning languages. "The best way to learn about a people is to sit in the mud with them, eat their food with them, sleep in their huts with them, rejoice in their joys with them, and go through their burdens with them," he says. "It is then that you begin to appreciate your new family and begin to view their culture through their eyes." The couple intentionally do not count how many they have converted. "Every soul matters," Scott says. "When you start to count and set goals, say, you want 500, you become so goal-driven and numbers-driven that you pass by that one person who's so important they might take a long time." "Though they weren't seriously considering it, they tossed around ideas of how to approach the people safely, how to begin to make friendly contact, how to minimise their "footprint" while at the same time reaching out to them to learn their language and culture," he says. Both Mr and Mrs Esposito believe what happened to John Chau was tragic. They are aware that some people deem his actions foolish, and that there are others who support them. "I would hesitate to cast a stone (cast a stone at cast aspersions upon. throw/cast the first stone 自以为是的指责别人 (idiomatic) To act self-righteously in accusing another person, believing oneself to be blameless.

"From everything I've read he loved the Lord - his sacrifice may bring many to Christ in the future. "Who knows what seeds [have been planted] or what bigger things are going to happen." "We should all copy his heart, in the sense that he was willing to die, but I don't think everyone should be seeking out dangerous tribes necessarily." "I used to be a missionary," the post reads. "I thought I was doing God's work. But if I'm being honest, I was doing work that made me feel good." "This is white supremacy [s[j]uˈpreməsi] ( a situation in which one person, group, or thing has more power or influence than any other. the dollar's supremacy on the global foreign exchanges. They need to maintain their technological supremacy. Rival gangs battled for supremacy. ). This is colonisation." "Dragging uncontacted people out of the jungle for their own good is sometimes not for their own good," he told the BBC. "Nobody should play God." Countries worldwide have taken a dim view of missionary work. Proselytising is illegal in Nepal, and in August the law reportedly changed to state that foreigners convicted of the crime can be deported after a maximum jail sentence of five years. Historically, Prof Preston says some, but not all, US Protestant missionaries came to develop an "ambivalence 界限模糊, 模棱两可 to empire"([æmˈbɪvələns] the feeling or state of being ambivalent. ambivalent feeling two different things about someone or something at the same time, for example that you like them and dislike them. Leigh's response was ambivalent. Most of us have an ambivalent attitude toward technology. Joe was ambivalent about taking the job.). "They realised they were a part of US hard power, they couldn't escape that." Because of that link, some missionaries came to promote local identities and nationalist causes - even when it ran counter to US aims. "There were still plenty of American exceptionalists," he says, who believed the US was unique among nations. "But a lot of them wanted to improve the world on Christian, not American lines." Mr Allen agrees that this association can be difficult, saying he feels "disgusted" when he sees any form of colonialist action in missionaries or even businessmen. "Some days, no matter how hard we try, we seem to get unnecessary deference ( [ˈdef(ə)rəns] behavior that shows you respect someone and are willing to accept their opinion or decision. Deference is a polite and respectful attitude towards someone, especially because they have an important position. The old sense of deference and restraint in royal reporting has vanished. Out of deference to him, I lowered my head as he prayed.)," he says, explaining they strive to build "genuine relationships based on mutual trust and respect". "I'm not naive enough to think I'll ever be Kamea, but our team on the ground strives to work toward dismantling any colonial leanings and replacing them with co-dependent friendships."
