Abstract
This paper explores the key to successful banking which, according to the author, lies in the ability to balance a healthy growth rate, while at the same time analyzing the risks that your institution faces and taking action to minimize those risks.
From the Paper
?Risk comes from the uncertainty of future events. Effective risk management involves the understanding of the risks associated with the various areas of the business and the associated operating environment. Investments are primarily exposed to foreign currency, interest rate volatility and credit risk. The Royal Bank of Canada has set formal policies and procedures that establish an asset mix among equity, fixed income and real estate investments; require diversification of investments within categories; and set limits on the size of exposure to individual investments and counter parties. In addition derivative financial instruments are used, where appropriate, to assist in the management of these risks.?

Abstract
This paper examines the specific theater-based strategy for achieving 'peace with justice' known as Forum Theater. The paper notes that world-wide there are various theater companies, political activists and community workers who have been using Forum Theater for at least thirty years. The paper discusses two particularly different attempts to use Forum Theater as a tool for conflict transformation and resolution, one in Nigeria and the other in Canada. The paper thus analyzes these events through the lens of J.P. Lederach's three peace building gaps: the interdependence gap, the justice gap and the process-structure gap.
Outline:
The Interdependence Gap
The Justice Gap
The Process-Structure Gap
From the Paper
"It was due to its inability to bridge this interdependence gap that the Forum Theatre project in Vancouver, Canada failed. The projects goal was to submit the suggestions obtained in the performance to the local council such that new initiatives could be developed by the council to improve the situation for the vulnerable people in their community."

During the middle of the 20th century, this trend is clearly illustrated by the international achievements of Stephen Lewis, who has headed the attack on several major social crises. Lewis, a tenacious and tactical public speaker has taken the lead on international aid among Canadians, inspiring the world to do more to prevent catastrophes such as poverty and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. His leadership heading the Stephen Lewis Foundation, his humanitarian dedication in the United Nations, and his charismatic demeanor has sparked public awareness on global atrocities and has landed him as one of the Greatest Canadians."

H.V. Nelles' "A Little History of Canada", 2007.
A critical review of H.V. Nelles' novel, "A Little History of Canada".
3,090 words (approx. 12.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the work of H.V. Nelles, a Professor of History in Canada. The paper first analyzes several book reviews on Nelles "a Little History of Canada", to give a concrete idea of the influence and acceptance that it maintained amongst the academic community. Apart from this the writer also points out many of the contradictory elements that occur throughout the novel that work to effectively weaken the presentation as a whole. The writer of this essay contends that, while Nelles claims that Canada has always been an open country, many of the factual elements he reports suggest otherwise.
From the Paper
"While I appreciate where Infanger is coming from with regards to Nelles 'lunging' forward and backward in history as being problematic, I also feel that it is necessary when writing a book of this nature. For example, if Nelles were to follow events in exact chronological order, then the novel would come more across as a textbook. As Nelles allows himself to jump certain years and then return back to them he is simply fully elaborating on different topics, this is necessary to maintain the overall feeling of a flowing book with an exact direction."

Canada's Ageing Population, 2008.
Discuses the implications and solutions for the problem of Canada's aging population.
3,515 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 98.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as in other countries, due to increased birthrates in the mid twentieth century, combined with relatively low birthrates in modern society, Canada is experiencing population aging. The author points out that this demographic shift creates a situation in which potential problems regarding economic stability are created and in which the workforce does not have enough manpower to support the aged population. The paper suggests that increasing immigration rates and implementing social programs may assist in helping balance this situation.
From the Paper
"This Health Canada report proceeds to stress the complexity of aging population issue, as it concerns not only the well-being of today's older Canadians but also broader areas and sectors that affect the entire population, including health, labour markets and public finances. They stress the fact that all levels of government are needed to work together in establishing a defensive front to safeguard the economy. Health Canada provides a detailed list of the challenges that Canadian society will face in recent years and how to properly adapt to work with these changes."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer examines the idea of global warming and discusses the accuracy of predictions regarding its overall effects and the root causes of the problem. The writer also discusses the research that predictions of global warming are based upon and examines the conflicting studies presented by governmental and international bodies. In addition, the writer argues that UN mechanisms put in place to decrease carbon emissions and reduce the planets temperature rise, will, in fact, have the opposite effect. The writer postulates that for Canada, the cost of adherence to the Kyoto protocols will be excessive and quotes a number of researchers in evidence. The paper is accompanied by a number of tables and graphs.
Outline:
Introduction
Global Warming: Science and Scepticism
The Kyoto Protocol: Loopholes and Exceptions
Canada's and Kyoto: Economic Impacts of Meeting the Reduction Goals
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1998 the first and most comprehensive study of compliance costs to Canada was done by the National Climate Change Process (NCCP), a group formed by various Canadian government officials. The results were not what the government had hoped for. The study predicts long term negative effects on the Canadian economy of between 0.5 to 3% per year, and up to 20 years recovery time. Real wages would drop between 1 and 4%, and there would be significant risk of damaging levels of inflation. According to the analysis, it is not Alberta, but Saskatchewan and Ontario that are the hardest hit provinces"

"Dibs in Search of Self " by Virginia Axline, 2008.
A review of "Dibs in Search of Self" by Virginia Axline using the strength-based approach.
1,936 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 14 sources, APA, $ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Using the empowerment/strength-based theory, this paper critiques critique Virginia Axline's intervention approach with Dibs in "Dibs in Search of Self". The paper explains that, since the book was published in the early 1960s; the way in which the strength-based intervention was used is to an extent outdated for current social work practice. Thus, the paper also discusses what practices could have been changed or added to the intervention that would be more suitable when working with children of today's Canadian society. In particular, the paper discusses three different strength-based practices that Axline should add or change in the intervention in order to work more efficiently with current Canadian children.
From the Paper
"The kind of language and dialogue used in interventions with children is an important factor that contributes to the client's sense of self and the way in which they define their own experiences. "The power of language to influence perception and the development of self-fulfilling prophecies can create negative or positive outcomes". With that said, Axline skilfully used strength-based language and the skill of positive re-framing of words when conversing with Dibs. Strength-based language is displayed by asking questions that let the child tell their story and also by staying in-line with where the child wants to take the intervention (Greene, Lee, Hoffpauir, 2005). Strength-based language often uses the skills of positive re-framing. Positive re-framing focuses on building on the child's inner strength and to help re-frame the child's outlook on their experiences into something they can grasp and cope with more effectively (Greene, Lee, Hoffpauir, 2005). A good example of Axline using strength-based re-framing with Dibs would be displayed on pg. # 46 in the book where Dibs demands that the window be closed in the playroom."

The Canadian Wheat Board, 2006.
A brief exploration of the domestic cost and benefits of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB).
909 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the main arguments for and against the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) and its efficiency. The paper relates that although the CWB's costs are subject to dispute, there are very few strong comprehensive arguments for the benefits of the CWB. The paper reveals that with pressure from Alberta to start a pilot voluntary participation program, it would seem the CWB is on its way out as the sole marketer of Western Canadian wheat and barley.
From the Paper
"The CWB, originally founded in 1919 to market post-war government grain reserves, has been under the magnifying glass in recent years. While it can be said that in the past its development and operation benefited society, it is not so clear today.
"In 1935, during the depression, the CWB helped to protect and guarantee investments, and later during World War II it became a mandatory membership body in order to control inflation. In the middle of the century it did have some success, but today many if not all of its policies are seen as outdated bureaucracy by many."

Lowering Tuition Costs, 2006.
An argument against the lowering of tuition fees in Saskatchewan, Canada.
1,761 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 13 sources, APA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper considers the perspective of students who want a more affordable education and society who will have to pay for subsidies in the form of tax increases or spending cuts. The paper reveals that there is no evidence to suggest that the rising tuition costs through the 1990s and early 21st century turned a significant number of potential students away from post-secondary education. The paper then discusses how students are already benefiting when it comes to investing in post-secondary education, and lower tuition fees in Saskatchewan can only be achieved at the expense of those who cannot afford it. The paper includes several full-color graphs.
Outline:
Introduction
How Does the Price of Tuition Affect Participation in Post-Secondary Education?
How Much Should Society Have to Pay for Post-Secondary Education?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For decades student interest groups have argued the price of post-secondary education in Canada, and Saskatchewan in particular, is too high. Despite concessions from the provincial government last year, the URSU is once again gearing up for a fight, preparing to launch a new campaign aimed at decreasing the cost of tuition for University of Regina students.
"While campaigns to lower tuition costs are politically popular with the student body, especially those with voices in the Students' Union and The Carillon, these campaigns are, at best, misguided. Students are already getting a great deal when it comes to investing in post-secondary education, and lower tuition fees in Saskatchewan can only be achieved at the expense of those who cannot afford it."

Heroin Trafficking, 2008.
A discussion on the increase in heroin use and trafficking in Canada.
2,997 words (approx. 12.0 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the rising heroin abuse problem in Canada. as well as possible solutions to the problem. In order to devise strategies to address the issue, the paper first looks at what the government has done in the past in the hopes of challenging traffickers and users. The paper relates that looking at past policies will help provide an understanding of methods that have not been successful. The paper also compares America's approach to the drug problem to Canada's and notes that neither have been completely successful. The paper concludes that perhaps the best approach would be one that combines the techniques of both countries' approach to fighting drug abuse; providing treatment to drug users and targeting the trafficking system.
From the Paper
"Heroin is made from morphine, a naturally occurring substance that comes from the opium poppy plant. There are estimated 35,000-40,000 heroin users in Canada claims Leduc and Lee (2003). Opiates which produce heroin do not grow in Canada which means that all of the aforementioned users are dependent on the import of heroin into the country and the trafficking routes that gets the drug in their hands. Heroin trafficking will continue to be a societal problem so long as people are using heroin. It is drug use epidemic that can only be targeted from the root which is the use of the drug itself. In order to expose, dissect, and find solutions to this problem we must look at the rise of use of the drug, the import of this drug, and the networks of distribution throughout Canada. To determine strategies that would help eliminate these problems we must first look at what the government has done in the past in hopes of challenging traffickers, and users so we have an understanding of methods that have not been successful. The government as a whole faces heroin at a range of levels from the education system teaching youth about drug dangers, to law enforcement facing dealers and importers, to the immigration system meeting head on with those crossing borders with drugs, social services of Canada helping addicts and former addicts remain off the drugs and restart their lives and governmental health care helping those with heroin related health issues as well as people who have endured trafficking related violence. Heroin use no-doubt affects all members of society at an economical level, but also at a production level. The more time and energy given to those involved in the drug, the less time and energy given to more positive aspects of society like the education system. Both fiction and non-fiction books and movies expose the lives of drug lords profiting off the down fall of people into cyclones of drug use, drug dealing, prison, and death. One of the most widely distributed written projects on this topic is "Requiem for a Dream" which is less focused on the importers but rather on the people on the streets that are profiting less and risking. Reading of this work of art accurately describes the struggles, horror, and never ending circle of use, abuse, and violence."

The Undesired Side of Globalization in Canada, 2008.
This paper challenges the theory that globalization does inevitably benefit everyone in Canada.
830 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that globalization has had major impacts on Canada and not necessarily for the better. What is often referred to as the new world economy, the internationalism of capitalism, the global village and neo-liberalism, globalization is about a world wide wave of liberalization of trade, investment and capital flows. The writer discusses that this brings the consequent growing importance of these flows and of international competition in the world economy. The writer points out that national boundaries, tariffs, and subsidies are all broken as a result of alliances between nation states and large corporations. The writer argues that as big businesses can search the world for the cheapest and most efficient workers, communities, and countries to produce their particular product, not everybody in Canada wins.
From the Paper
"McBride and Shields argue that Canadian neo-liberalism will inevitably lead to a collapse of Canada's already weak identity. Resistance to the negative effects of globalization must be implemented before changes can be made. Brecher and Costello offer a number of suggestions to counteract the negative effects of globalization. They propose we start by changing our outlook and seeking to satisfy individual Canadians instead of large corporations. This will involve democratizing global institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, and GATT/WTO. As globalization brings competitiveness we must realize how it can command our lives and know the difference between a short term constraint of competitive edge and long term growing competitiveness and learn to limit this before it completely takes over our lives. This process means that we must create a democratic world structure to which large corporation feel accountable for their often heartless actions, creating a strict set of rights and standards will assist this new democracy protecting the rights of the Canadian people.

Abstract
The paper explores whether the use of power writing improves the literacy development of kindergartners. The paper explains that power writing describes a three-step process that can be applied to all forms of expository, persuasive or personal narrative writing. The paper examines the elements of writing and the essentials for a strong writing program. The paper stresses that literacy goals must begin in the kindergarten classroom and not wait until the children can read and spell correctly.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Problem to be Investigated
Purpose of the Study
Importance of the Study
Research Question
Definition of Terms
Chapter 2: Literature Review
What is Writing?
Essentials for a Strong Writing Program
Power Writing
Writing in Kindergarten
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In Ontario, student achievement in writing is assessed by the writing portion of the Grade 3 Assessment of Writing by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). The results of these standardized tests are broken down into categories. Students consistently score lowest in the category of "organization of ideas" for the reading and writing segment. Realizing the need for improvement, the school boards, the schools, and the administrators are able to establish and implement a set of strategies and interventions to achieve progress. It is their responsibility to ensure that primary students have the best possible opportunity to become effective writers. Educators know that children's reading and writing achievement at the end of Grade 3 will depend in large part on the reading and writing instruction they receive in Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 and so they work collaboratively to ensure seamless progression (Ministry of Education, 2003)."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the ideas of various social control scholars and applies theories and perspectives to explain higher degrees of criminality amongst Canadian aboriginals. The paper shows how versions of social control theory explain higher degrees of criminality amongst native people with an emphasis on social inequality but highlights how other factors such as history and culture must also be fully appreciated. The paper asserts that mainstream social bonds along with traditional native culture must continue to develop together to deter aboriginal criminality.
Outline:
Introduction
Social Control Theory
Canada's Aboriginal Experiences Compared to Mainstream Society
Scholars' Perspectives
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Social control theory argues that those with weak bonds to societies' institutions are prone to criminal activity, specifically conventional crime. This paper examines scholars that studied various facets of social control theory and applies their findings to Canadian aboriginal societies. Considerable research suggests social control theorists are accurate in their theories that social bonds deter crime. An example of a society that has lost much of its social control is the aboriginal people of Canada."

Lawyers and Money Laundering, 2006.
This paper explores the ethical dilemmas inherent in lawyers' rights to defend individuals and the need to protect society.
1,637 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 12 sources, APA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the delicate balance between the sanctity of lawyer-client privilege and the need to protect society. The paper begins by defining money laundering and presenting examples of lawyers who have been involved in money laundering. The paper then explains why the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) views lawyers as potential "gatekeepers" of the money laundering process. Next, the paper discusses the sanctity of lawyer-client privileges. A discussion on law enforcement efforts to balance the rights of the individual vs. the protection of society then follows. The paper concludes that this ethical dilemma of the relationship between lawyers' right to defend individuals and organized crime involved in money laundering creates topical discussions with no clear answers.
Outline:
Introduction
Money Laundering Defined
Examples of Lawyers Involved in Money Laundering
FATF Describes Lawyers as "Gatekeepers"
Ethics and the Sanctity of Lawyer Client Privilege
Balancing the Rights of the Individual versus the Protection of Society
From the Paper
"Balancing the protection of society versus defending individual rights is an ethical dilemma that criminal defense lawyers may experience. This is especially enhanced when lawyers represent the interests of organized crime. Money laundering endangers the social economic fabric of society and is linked to serious crimes of violence, drug trafficking and terrorism. Legislation is designed to assist law enforcement with investigating and prosecuting crimes such as money laundering. However, legalities have been overcome by professionals such as accountants, bank managers, insurance agents and lawyers. These professionals viewed as potential "gatekeepers" of the money laundering process can easily become embroiled into facilitating the needs of organized crime, either unwittingly or knowingly."

Abstract
This paper explains that inclusion is educating all children with disabilities in regular classrooms, regardless of the nature of their disabling condition, by providing necessary services within the regular schools and by having students with disabilities follow the same schedules as their peers. The paper then presents arguments for and against such inclusion. The paper suggests that the research upholds the position that the general classroom is the right place to support students with disabilities even when their behaviour presents significant challenges. Both the students with disabilities and their school-age peers benefit from full inclusion. A comparison table of the pro and con arguments on inclusion is included with the paper.

From the Paper
"Emily Eaton was a severely disabled student who was enrolled in the neighbourhood school. She received support, but was a part of a regular classroom. After three years of struggling to meet her needs in a regular class, the school board felt that Emily would be better served in a special segregated class. Her parents appealed to the special education appeal board, however they upheld decision to place her in a segregated program. The Eatons then appealed to the Ontario Divisional Court, which dismissed the application."

Outline:
Introduction
Theological Motivations
Role, Relationship to Government and Effectiveness as Denomination
Role and Effectiveness of a Local Church
Conclusion
From the Paper
It is appropriately called First Vancouver CRC and was established in 1926. The church is located at 2670 Victoria Drive, near the Broadway and Commercial SkyTrain stations, and has a current average Sunday service attendance of 150. It was begun by a group of Dutch immigrants and grew with the influx of more Dutch immigrants after WWII, many attracted to Canada because the Canadian army played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands (Schaap, 1998:311). This church accurately reflects the fact that "very few faith-based agencies give expression to their religious commitments by limiting clientele to their own community members...rather, they serve the general public."

Abstract
This paper discusses early mountain recreation in Canada with a focus on the activities on Hollyburn Ridge, British Columbia. It first describes the effects of climate, geography and natural resources on the history and development of recreation in Canada. The paper then argues that the activities of the pioneers of recreational sport run parallel to national historic highlights in the establishment of Canada as a nation and therefore are key in the building of the nation. The paper contains a map and photographs in an appendix.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the scenic beauty and natural wonders of snow covered mountains have long been to people a compelling force. The development of Canadian mountain recreation parallels the development of Canada as a country. This is evident specifically in the areas of economics, the role of immigrants and women, the Canadian Pacific Railway, The Cold War, The Great Depression, and the emerging environmental movement. Participation was a quest for freedom and spiritual renewal. The activities of everyday Canadians from coast to coast who participated in mountain climbs, skiing and cabin building played a role in Canada as it made the complex climb to become a nation."
