Public Management and Governance, 2006.
This paper examines the changing ideas about public administration in Canada.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, $ 62.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the current climate of public administration is defined by a transition between two paradigms: that of the new public management system and the emerging governance model. The paper describes how the former system has come under criticism as being limited, impersonal and too segmented and the latter, though its nature is still unclear, has been deemed radical though personal and value-based. The notion of a government coming under scrutiny and ultimate criticism is not a new concept, however, it has become apparent that the new public management system is no longer suitable to the Canadian public administration system under the current climate of economic, social and cultural globalization.

Abstract
The paper discusses how change can take place on several levels at once and exhibit the same characteristics at each level. The type of change that this paper addresses involves change and conserving at the organizational level and change and persistence at the individual level. The change is related to the new focus on home care in Canada. Furthermore, the paper explains that while persistence and conserving normally are regarded as hindrances to growth (Bolman & Deal, 2003; Pilkington, 2000), it is not certain that such is the case for this situation. The paper points out that this is also a situation where re-framing is needed at all levels to demonstrate that a successful outcome is possible when such a change is carefully planned and resources and support are made available.

Abstract
This assignment researches the causes of homelessness in Toronto. It takes a look at the issues surrounding the problem of homelessness and why it's considered to be a national disaster.
From the Paper
"Homelessness is one of the greatest social problems facing Canada. The problem has become so bad that the Mayors of Canada's largest cities declared homelessness a national disaster (Lenon 123). There is a great deal of argument about the rise in homelessness. Some researchers and policy makers have suggested that homelessness is a problem caused by the people experiencing it. Others argue that homelessness is a problem caused by the erosion of the welfare state under neo-liberal policies. This research will argue for the second argument. It will prove this by using a questionnaire."

Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts early Canadian feminists (the suffragists) with the second wave feminists on the late 20th century. The essay focuses on the history of the two groups, the issues that the two groups fought for, as well as the methods they employed in their struggle. Feminism can be defined, in the simplest sense, as a movement to put an end to oppression against women and to achieve equality for all. In practical term, this means that all feminists over the ages have fought to achieve some gender equality, and to increase the women's contribution to the discourse in society.

From the Paper
"The decisions of the Judicious Comity of the Privy Council (JCPC) and the Supreme Court of Canada have always been politically and legally controversial. One of the major issues is whether the JCPC and the Supreme Court of Canada have strictly followed The British North America Act of 1867 (The Canadian Constitution) or whether the judges in the JCPC and the Supreme Court of Canada have made their decisions based on the prevailing social, economic and political currents of the time in Canadian society."

The writer discusses that although many Canadians are proud of living in the only country in the world that embraces multiculturalism as an official policy, the truth of the matter seems to be that many minorities still experience racist discrimination in various spheres of Canadian life. This literature review examines the literature on the subject of racism in Canadian education, to ascertain whether racism is in fact a problem in Canadian schools. A good place to start the literature review is to look at the broad picture of racism in Canada, and in particular at the theoretical concepts and discourses that have been used to examine this issue.

From the Paper
"When we think of inequality and large gaps between rich and poor, we usually think of North America and the Third World. However, the same large gaps are found right here in Canada. Cities in Canada always have very poor areas and super rich areas. Certain parts of Canada are the very poorest. Native people are the poorest Canadians and they have the worst health status and the most health problems. "All these health problems are related to unequal social arrangements that are present in North America and in other parts of the world.""

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses needs for marketing power tools in Australia. Cultural and business concerns with marketing in the Australian economy are outlined to show problems that exist with marketing generally and with the power tools specifically. Suggestions are made for developing a campaign that addresses the strengths of the proposed tool line and realities of the marketplace.
From the Paper
"Surprisingly, given its view of itself as an innovative and creative society, Australia has never been receptive of marketing as a discipline to add value to product sales and distribution. Perhaps because it has a no-nonsense, show-me-don't-tell-me cultural approach to the marketplace, or perhaps because marketing has simply not fully developed as a function in the Australian economy, Australian society has traditionally viewed marketing with suspicion, if not outright rejection. However, as it enters the global marketplace, this orientation will have to change in relation to both product marketing on the part of corporations and marketing evaluation on the part of consumers. Widing puts it starkly when he writes that "developing a market orientation is likely to enhance business performance"."

Hollywood in Canada, 2006.
This paper provides an examination of the effects of Hollywood on Canada.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 6 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the impact of Hollywood upon Canadian popular culture and in particular Canadian film making. The paper argues that while some good has come out of Hollywood dominating the Canadian market, there are a number of reasons why the Canadian film industry cannot continue to cede more than 98 percent of the domestic market to big budget Hollywood films. The following paper reviews the history of the American cultural penetration into Canada as a result of Hollywood and examines also how Canada situation is not unique.
From the Paper
"There is arguably no nation in the world that is more inundated with American culture than Canada - mostly because of its proximity, but also because of the fact that the two nations have always shared a common English or British heritage. The following paper argues that the dominance of Hollywood within Canada has brought some good - employment for individuals within the Canadian film industry, access to world-class technology and to world-class American talent - but it has also brought a great deal of trouble - not least of all, a reduced native interest (or ability) in establishing a uniquely Canadian film industry - and this trouble is something that Canadian leaders will have to continue to grapple with if they wish to carve out a distinctly Canadian popular culture in the twenty-first century.

Abstract
This paper examines a notable Canadian organization, the Toronto Police Service, and briefly reviews its history and chief organizational features. In addition, the paper looks at the organization's communicative behaviors, at its organizational structure, and at its leadership (specifically, the apparent leadership style of Chief Bill Blair).

From the Paper
"The following paper provides a brief organizational overview of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service. Specifically, the paper describes the organization by detailing its history, what the organization is in the business of producing, its number of employees, and whether or not the writer has been involved with the organization. From there, the paper is divided into three sections which discuss three key components of Toronto's Police Services - namely, its communicative behaviors, its over-all structure, and the salient features of its leadership."
