Abstract
This paper explains that organizations benefit from the introduction of computers and technology, but the employees may be experiencing increased workplace problems. The paper points out some of the significant negative impact on employees, including stress from having to learn new computer skills and thinking their jobs have become less secure and less interesting. The paper stresses that organizations must consider the individual impact of computers and technology on employees and take steps to assist groups or individuals that experience greater stress or greater problems because of these computers.
From the Paper
"The article notes the influence that computers have had on the workplace, stating that ?nearly six out of ten Canadian workers used a computer (personal computer, mainframe or word processor) at work, with the majority (78%) using it to perform various tasks on a daily basis? (Lin & Popovic, 2002, 1). This degree of use makes the impact of computers an important consideration. The article also notes that many studies have been completed to study the impact, but that the focus has been on productivity and job quality. In short, the majority of studies focus on how computers impact the organization, and not on how computers impact employees. The article then notes that computers and technology has been considered a source of stress for employees. This occurs while organizations are enjoying the efficiency and cost benefits of computerization."

Abstract
This paper explains that freedom of speech, from a Canadian standpoint, allows for the open expression of beliefs, while at the same time cautioning people to use sound judgment in their attempt to exercise that right. The author points out that Internet transmissions can be judged and ruled on in court using the same criteria and decision-making process, which is used for non-Internet freedom of speech questions and cases. The paper suggests that the Canadian Government, in regard to its freedom of speech and the World Wide Web, needs to clearly define the meaning of a hate speech and to legislate how the laws will be applied.

From the Paper
"Another important case was that of Joe Howe who argued his right to freedom of speech in the press against the Canadian government. He was acquitted of the criminal charges brought against him but it did not clear the way for Internet freedom of speech that would not be justifiable in its content. Canada currently has a list of laws that restrict publication that defies the voice of Canadian authority. ?Lately, Canadian university administrators have been especially prone to accept censorship, but they made a strategic blunder when they rushed to delete the Usenet group alt.fan.karla-homolka."

Nursing in Canada, 2004.
An exploration of the image of nursing in Canada.
1,294 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the past half of the 20th century saw marked changes in the image of nursing in Canada and how the stereotypes of years gone by are being replaced with new and more respectful images of what nurses do and how they fit into the ever-growing field of health care. It examines the history of the nursing field and the changing image that is currently underway for nurses, including issues such as gender differences and job duty changes.
From the Paper
"One of the biggest trends in the nursing profession in Canada over the years has been the trend of nurses as health evangelists. The image of nursing changed when nurses began to provide leadership when it came to the advancement of public health in Canada(Duncan, 1999).
The influence of nurses in the health care field, especially the public health care field was not recognized until a couple of decades ago. If one were to closely examine the history of the Canadian health care industry however one would find that nursing helped to shape that trend through the care and education they provide to patients and incoming nurses."

The Death Penalty in the U.S. and Canada, 2002.

Abstract
The paper examines how one of the most debated topics regarding the case of murder is how best to punish the killer and how heated debates continue to erupt over whether or not capital punishment is a viable option. It shows how two nations that share a continent are at odds when it comes to the issue of capital punishment, Canada and the United States of America. It discusses how Canada stands firmly against the practice, while America stands on the side, and how each nation believes that it is in the right, both legally and morally. It analyzes how, from a legal standpoint, the issue of the death penalty is controversial for the two nations because of their shared borders and how killers from the United States have been known to scoot across the Canadian border, knowing that Canada would not send them back.
From the Paper
"There are many elements that went into the court?s decision to ban the death penalty for good. One of those elements involves the impact that it fails to have on the nations that practice it. Canada believes that the death penalty fails to deter would be criminals from committing murder. Citing many murder cases that occurred during the time that the death penalty has been in existence, both in Canada and in the United States, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled it out."

Canadian Communism, 2002.
A brief look at how communism is reflected in Canada's political arena.
736 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"We want to make this nation one which truly belongs to all its people; we seek to create a society in which all individuals have the opportunity to realize their full potential?. These sentiments, although forming part of Canada's New Democratic Party?s socialist mission statement, are considered to be a close reflection of the values and beliefs that are commonly associated with Communism. The paper shows that the NPD, however, take great pains to distance themselves from the label of ?communist?, leaving the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) to carry the official flag of Canadian communism. The paper shows that under the guidance of the CPC, the development of Communism in Canada, unlike in Russia and other traditionally communist strongholds, has developed less rapidly, adopted a less extreme agenda and, as a result, continues to exert an appreciable influence upon Canadian politics and society. By adapting to changing social and political conditions, communism in Canada has successfully outlived the roots of its ideology.
From the Paper
"The demise of communism in the former Soviet Union, and other Eastern European states during the late 1980?s resulted in a drastic reduction in public and political support for communist ideology throughout the world, including within Canada (History of CPC). However, despite this political setback, Canadian communism with its firm and well-established roots, successfully weathered the storm and, in recent years, has witnessed a renewed growth in popularity across Canada. One reason for this continued support for communism in Canada, as opposed to those countries in which it has all but perished, is the a wide range of popular issues that form their manifesto; including the fight against privatization, for shorter hours, for public ownership, the fight for jobs and the guarantee of basic labor rights in a new Canadian Constitution (Marshall, 1995)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"With regard to the payment structure of the home care program, it shows discrepancy to a great extent. As far as studies have unveiled, no proper record has been maintained for the workforce in home care. Shifting of the location of health services from hospitals to home has indeed taken the world by storm. This change will remain successful permanently if the policy considerations and restructuring of plans are done in a systematic manner. The government and other legislations should take steps to appreciate them by providing various incentives, reduction in taxes etc. Moreover, these people should be assured of job. The legislations should include these caregivers in any form of discussion taken regarding the various policies. The establishment of a nationalized home care model is essential. There should be no friction existing in the home care sectors so that the action of the patients shifting between different levels of care is reduced to a great extent. "

Canada and Glaciations, 2002.
An insight into glaciations and their contribution to Canada?s environment and appeal.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how glaciations, huge sheets of ice that cover huge areas of land, have made significant contributions to many aspects of Canada?s environment. It looks at how today, glaciers are tourist attractions in mountainous areas throughout Canada, bringing in millions of dollars in tourism funds. In addition, glaciers are a natural resource and people in Canada are able to harness the power of these frozen streams. It shows that without Canada?s intense glaciations, there would be less water for wildlife, for agriculture and for hydroelectric power.
From the Paper
"While glaciers are recognized as important additions to Canada?s natural beauty, many say that they present great risks to the country . Scientists believe that the gradual decay of the southern edges of the Arctic permafrost will drastically alter surface water drainage patterns and increase the land?s instability. As a result, there may be large disruptions to pipelines, rail lines, roads, and other facilities. The effect on ice roads could be very negative. Built across frozen wetlands and lakes, these roads provide an important supply link to many remote communities and provide access to large areas of timber in the boreal forest."

Abstract
Several eminent authors have composed various masterpieces or performed intensive research on the bittersweet experiences, as well as the treatment of immigrant women in Canada. This paper discusses a particular group - the Chinese and the Hong Kong women who settled in Canada. Firstly, this paper provides an account of the progress of the immigration policies in Canada since its origin until today and its effects on the entryway of Chinese immigrant women in Canada. The paper then presents the effect of standardized policies regarding race and sex on Chinese immigrant women. Lastly, this report looks into the institutional processes, including employment and unemployment as well as the organizational processes including the relationships between family members, child care, household chores and social life which affected the lives of skilled Chinese women who migrated from China and Hong Kong and are settled in Canada.
From the Paper
"Such processes are the cause of ?social injustice? (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant) within a society. Following is the account of effects of institutionalized processes in employment that is based on two surveys including married women immigrants from Hong Kong as well as China. These two studies show that most women moved to Canada with their husbands under the independent class or as business immigrants (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant). These women worked back home on the basis of their individual degrees and were considered highly skilled workers but when they moved to Canada, they were not eligible for the Canadian experience requirement and as a result they were unable to work. Some of the women, who did manage to seek employment, were either underpaid or were rejected. The Canadian women irrespective of their qualifications were given preference over the Chinese immigrant women."

Abstract
Canada was the first parliamentary government in the world to require the registration of lobbyists, resulting from a reaction to the perceived inappropriate level of the power of lobbyists in connection with the 1984 elections. This paper looks at the implications of this policy on further elections.
From the Paper
"Contract lobbying is frequently done by legal firms employing former government officials and attorneys familiar with the structure of the bureaucracy. The Financial Times wrote in 1981 that lobbyists were ?the best informed, least understood and perhaps most influential private citizens in the country? due to their experience within the political system, their knowledge of its issues and terminology, and their network of personal contacts within it."

Canada: The Ideal Pluralist Society, 2002.
Examining the benefits and problems of Canada's multi-cultural society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the controversial issue of culture in Canada. The paper shows how some say Canada has no culture and that it is too concerned with other cultures to bother with one national identity. Others say that the mix of different ethnicity is Canadian culture, that the nation is the sum of its parts. There is as much debate over multicultural policies, and the paper breaks these down into three areas: There are those who say policies don?t do enough to include minorities, who believe they are working fine, and those who think they do far too much.
From the Paper
"The article gives a brief history of Canada?s multicultural laws and how they came into existence. The most recent amendment to these laws came under Brian Mulroney and his Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988. The Act obligated ?all federal departments and agencies to implement multiculturalism as it applies to their mandates? . This was a big step in recognizing the pluralistic society that is Canada. The author of the article, Andrew Cardozo, then begins to investigate the reactions of people to these laws. He writes of those who think Canada does not do enough to incorporate different cultures into the predominantly English society. Of these people, Cardozo seems to have a negative opinion. A self-proclaimed advocate of the multiculturalism laws, he writes about minority activists who constantly dwell on the negative instead of recognizing the achievements in the area. Cardozo belongs to what he would call the middle group, those who believe the laws to be working fine as they are. His article goes so far as to outline the number of advances made in the field of multiculturalism. These include a fairer portrayal of minorities in the media, better inclusion of minorities in advertising, and more involvement of minorities in politics. These may be points for Cardozo?s argument, but they are also facts that support the belief of the third group. The third grouping of people one can study are those who believe multiculturalism has gone too far and that we have ?lost the meaning of being ?Canadian??. So much talk about the subject has created a social backlash, and to many talking about multiculturalism is now perceived as the ?politically correct? thing to do. This is, of course, now a derogatory term."

The Progress and Politicization of Women in Quebec, 2002.
An in-depth and through study of three groups of Quebec women and how they managed over the years to enter the male-controlled spheres in their particular societies.

Abstract
This paper examines whether there has there been progress for women in the history of Quebec. Historical studies now reveal the natures and histories behind many groups of women; three of them are discussed in the historiographical portion of this essay. Firstly the writer contextualizes and examines the female sphere as it has existed in Quebec since the 1920?s. Where did women stand in the eyes of the law? What rights did women possess and how did they view their positions? What role did women play in the Quiet revolution and the transformation of Quebec from a mostly rural society to a largely urban one? From this point, the writer then studies the smaller groups within the larger framework, so as to get a more detailed look into history, and chooses three specific groups: the rural women on the farms; the Algonquin women in Quebec; and a religious group situated in the poorest section of Montreal. This breakdown should give us a fair diversity, in region, in background, and in ideology. It looks how each group made progress in terms of breaking into the male sphere of the political arena and tearing free from the traditions of the Quebecois mothers in search of bettering society, themselves, and the attitude of women everywhere.
From the Paper
"To begin, the purpose of studying the selected groups of women is twofold: it is not the intent to study solely the roles of these women but to also look at the manner in which they are written about, with a difference between each in this area as well. Is the oral history transcribed by the Algonquin women a better history than the tables, surveys and data of the rural farm women? How seriously should writing with religious overtones be taken as history? Certain methods work better with certain groups of women, and in the cases so far presented there is one method that stands above the rest. Not only are the methods used by the group at Point St. Charles in Montreal the best for a historical analysis, they also provide the best example of the progress of women in Quebec. In narrowing down the broad notion that women have progressed in Quebec society these examples will show how Quebecois women have become more politically involved and more politicized in their mindset over the last eighty years. The progress of Quebec women is evident in the move from the traditional family to the forefront of the political arena: these different histories will show that."

The Life of Brian, 2002.
Examining Susanna Moodie's autobiography "Roughing it in the Bush", about living in Canada in the early 19th century. The paper focuses on the one chapter that she dedicates to the special character of Brian, a hunter.

Abstract
This paper discusses how in "Roughing it in the Bush" Moodie has not only documented a life story, but has done so in an entertaining manner. Her story reads like a novel; interesting characters and captivating events make up the majority of her life. The paper explores the character of Brian, the still-hunter, to which Moodie devotes an entire chapter. The writer writers of a man who is kind to her family and whom she befriends, who helps her as she struggles with life in the bush. He makes for an interesting character, especially when one takes into account that he is completely fictitious and, in fact, dead.
From the Paper
"Moodie first prepares us for the idea of a dead character by the poem that opens the chapter. Recognizing that the poem is open to interpretation, is it not possible that she is referring to a living dead man? She speaks of a ?shadow... gathered to the silent dust long years ago? , happy in a land without social life or companionship. A spirit doomed to haunt the earth would fit this category, and the connotative words of ?gleamy? and ?gloomy? give the poem an eerie quality that might set a reader?s mind along the road of the supernatural. Obviously there is more than one possible interpretation, as the poem could literally be the memory of a man who lived his life outside of the social sphere. One thing is for certain, however; no matter how the poem is read, it is in reference to the character of Brian. The mentioning of a strange man and his dog and gun, as well as being placed directly underneath the title ?Brian the Still-Hunter? is enough evidence of this. If one chooses to read this poem as being about a dead man, the connection between the dead and Brian will be initiated, and that connection would certainly coincide with the evidence that follows."

Canadian and American Education, 2002.
A comparison of the Canadian and American educational systems.
2,862 words (approx. 11.4 pages), 16 sources, APA, $ 85.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper studies and compares the education systems and their goals in Canadian and the United States. It shows that these school systems share many aspects, including a striving for better education, a constant drive for better technology and a consistent effort to better educate their students. The paper explains that while the methods of instruction and the funding for the system may differ, each share the common goal of a quality education for all students. It argues that, by learning from some successes of Canadian schools, the United States could further its ability to better educate all students in the system. In today?s global economy, and in the age of information, there can be no substitute for education. It shows that if, by learning from other nations, the United States is able to provide a better education to the people, then the sanctioning bodies must come together in unity.
From the Paper
"The first of these values is equality of access. This value used to be defined as making public education available to a thin population across an entire continent (Fleming, 1997). Currently, equality of access is seen mainly as the eradication of the barriers to education caused by language, gender, race, or physical or mental disability. In fact, the Canadian Council of Ministries of Education, in their Pan-Canadian Protocol for Collaboration on School Curriculum in 1997 stated, ?The ministers wish all citizens to have a fair and equitable opportunity in education and wish to provide increased accessibility to education.?
Closely related to this fair education policy is the value of equality of educational opportunity. This value is described as the idea that the quality and choice of educational programs should not be lessened by where a person lives (Fleming, 1997). As part of the Pan-Canadian Protocol (1997), the ministry stated that one of the objectives of the Corroboration was the ?application of technology to curriculum and the use of distance education for delivery.?

Gender Inequality in Canada's Hospitality Trade, 2002.
A paper which examines the male dominance of the hospitality trade in Canada.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper establishes an understanding of gender inequality in the hospitality industry in Canada. The paper identifies the reasons why men dominate managerial positions in Canada, discusses reasons for preferential treatment for men in the hospitality industry, and examines potential motivations for females to pursue managerial positions and any obstacles they face.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, Canadian women face discrimination based not only on their gender, but also on race, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Yet many continue to pursue management positions in the service and hospitality industries for numerous reasons, including higher pay, better job security, more benefits and a more respectable title. The absence of human resource policies and strategies in many companies in this field is a deterrent to gender diversity. The work environment and culture are not conducive to promoting women in management. This prevents women's accessibility to top management positions. For example, there are no programs to facilitate the advancement of women as role models, absence of mentoring programs, and lack of management training programs."

Abstract
The paper studies how the Royal Bank has a long-term focus seeking to preserve and enhance economic, social and natural capital in order to improve the quality of people's lives and assure a continuing legacy for the future.
From the Paper
"Each SBU endeavor comparative analysis of the performance of competing organizations, in terms of market position, rates of return, growth and market valuation. The Shareholder Value Model is used to develop shareholder return goals to assess the contributions of each SBU?s to total Royal Bank market capitalization, and to set SBU value creation goals similar with corporate goals. From here the SBU managers examine the value of revenue growth, operating ratio margin/return and risk to ascertain how they will accomplish performance in the top quartile of their SBU peer group. Having distributed profit and loss accountability, in order to focus SBU?s on value contribution, it become necessary to attribute capital funds to each SBU proportionate with risks assumed. This is a significant undertaking, which requires innovative thinking, and led to the use of a Risk-Weighted Capital Assignment. This requires managers to outline and gauge risk to ascertain changes in capital utilization and to estimate risk-return trade-offs when forming preferences about business mix and other decisions. The resulting assignment of capital becomes a key information to the calculation of shareholder value, and to the overall decision-making process.
Like many other major corporations, Royal Bank of Canada is keenly mindful of the battle to attract and employ high performing talent. In the long term, talent is perhaps the only sustainable competitive advantage, and as such, they are emphasizing on talent as a key strategic priority. Looking for an increasing capability in supervising and accepting continuing change with greater speed, collaborative team players can interact across all level of the organization, who are passionate about continuous learning and personal development. The Royal Bank has always valued customer-focused, relationship-oriented employees with strong business intelligence, and now quest to blend those attributes with many skills not traditionally associated with banking but including scientists, mathematicians and statisticians, database analysts, engineers, economists and website developers, to name a few. This approach to the business, emphasizing flexibility and innovation has enabled to highly customize transactions to suit unusual situations. By researching sectors on a global basis and through the global lending activities, Royal Bank of Canada are efficient to advise clients on both threats and opportunities to help them stay competitive on the cutting edge of innovation.

Abstract
This paper is an examination and analysis of the facts presented by both the American and Canadian investigators regarding the crash of the Arrow Airs DC-8 in December 1985. The paper begins with a recap of the crash and the possible causes that were put forth by both countries which have held to their position that it was caused by ice on the wings of the plane. The author presents evidence that this crash was caused by an explosive device, planted by terrorists and goes into great detail as to the why this theory has been so carefully guarded by both governments. This paper raises several issues about the circumstances surrounding the crash including speculation that this was a deliberate act of terrorism and presents different reports about the events leading up to the plane's departure from Egypt. It also discusses the findings of aeronautical engineers who investigated the findings at the crash site and presents testimony from the government hearings held in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"The 101st division was one of four divisions that made up the Multinational Force and Observers. The purpose of MFO was to operate checkpoints and conduct reconnaissance patrols along the international boundary lines. Every six months the troops were rotated. This was a massive undertaking and involved the cooperation of the Egyptians to insure that the utmost security precautions were taken (Sandford pg). However, from the moment the troops from the 101st were to depart from the Sinai, a sequence of events occurred that were far from normal procedure. Ras Nasrani airport had always been used as the airport of departure for the troops. But at the last minute Army officials were notified that Ras Nastrani airport could not accommodate large planes due to construction being conducted on the main runway. Therefore, the troops were flown by Egypt Air Boeing 737s to the Cairo International Airport."

Abstract
The paper examines the war that raged in North America through the late 1750's and early 1760's and shows that it was a piece of a large struggle between England and France for dominance in world trade and naval power. The paper discusses the British victory in that struggle, known in Europe as the Seven Years' War , and how it ended the long struggle among the three powers in northeastern North America: The English, the French, and the Iroquois Confederacy. It also shows how it confirmed England's commercial supremacy and its control of the settled regions of North America and helped to establish the development of the frontier and the ever moving progress that was about to begin in America.
From the Paper
"After the dust settled, England realized they had encountered a huge debt from the war and did not have a way to pay for it. Many government officials from England were already angry because of the lack of money given to them by America in order to help pay for the war. They also failed to provide large numbers of soldiers for battle. After great discussion, the Parliament decided that American colonists should be taxed in order to exercise their part in helping to cover the huge debt England had incurred. Therefore many new taxes were introduced. These taxes included the Stamp Act, the Sugar Act, the Townshend act and many others."

Abstract
This is a financial report on Budd Canada, Inc, a company in the business of supplying automotive components, specializing in the production of bumpers, chassis components and light truck frames. It is the writer's recommendation that a banking institution does not consider Budd to be a viable investment risk at this time as it has had a ten year history of increasing sales coupled with even greater decreasing profits. This paper shows how the company's position in the market is precarious.
From the Paper
?This general industry trends also touched Budd Canada. The Corporation reported a $94.2 million dollar net loss as of September 30, 2001. Budd had mixed results this year due to the need to ramp-up production on its new state-of-the-art system in order to meet customer demand. Typically, the introduction of new equipment produces a negative financial effect initially. The 2001 losses were anticipated however early losses were greater than anticipated and a new management team was put into place. Traditional product lines declined, as order shifted to newer product lines. The Budd Company is substantially dependent upon two major customers. These two customers account for 99% of sales and 99% of the accounts receivable balance.?
