Sociological Theories in Regards to Divorce in Canada: An Examination of Five Newspaper Articles
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper examining social theories in regards to five Canadian newspaper articles on divorce. An examination of five recent articles found in Canadian newspapers regarding divorce in Canada has touched on several sociological theories. Largely, liberal feminism theories have been prevalent in regards to the accessibility of divorce to women which has occurred within the last century. This accessibility is seen as a step toward equal opportunity for women. However, from an economic standpoint, women are seen as better off within a marriage as the rate of divorced women with families has gradually increased over the years as women not only have lower overall incomes but also have the increased financial responsibility of the custody of the children in most cases. Lastly, Parsons’ theories relating to the function of the family unit relate to articles which show how the socialization of the children and the stabilization of the adult personality are not continued when divorce separates a family. Sociological theories were summarized by notes provided by customer. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Suicide Among Canadian Aboriginal Youths: Rates, Causes, and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the high rate of suicide among Canadian Aboriginal youths and the possible causes and solutions to the problems. The suicide rate among Canadian Aboriginals living on reservations is more than twice the Canadian average of non-Aboriginals with the largest rate recorded for young Native males. Half the Native communities living in the Northern areas of Canada report suicide as one of the major problems in their community. The causes for the high rates of suicides among Aboriginals seem to relate to the historical treatment of the Natives which through the Canadian government’s attempt at assimilation, the Aboriginals lost ties with their traditional ways of healing and self-government and eventually the means to remain economically stable. These factors led to a high unemployment rate, overcrowding and poor sanitary conditions among many other negative factors which in turn led to an increase in the number of mental and physical disorders such as depression, and alcohol and substance abuse. Within the last decade, several reports from the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and other Aboriginal-based task forces have outlined possible positive solutions for the recovery of the Aboriginal communities which will hopefully reverse the high suicide rates.

Summary and Critical Analysis of Arthur J. Ray’s article “Fur Trade History as an Aspect of Native History”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing Arthur J. Ray’s article “Fur Trade History as an Aspect of Native History”. Arthur J. Ray’s article “Fur Trade History as an Aspect of Native History”, presents the reader with an alternative perspective in regards to the fur trade and the relationship between the Natives and the Europeans in early Canadian history. While Ray does not deny the Europeans exploited the Natives throughout history, he nevertheless presents an argument which suggests the possibility that the Natives were not “unintelligent” in their trading methods and indeed controlled a great deal of the competition and the quality of the merchandise traded through the Hudson’s Bay Company. Ray presents good examples and documentation from the 18th century which provides good evidence for his argument, however economically it is clear that despite the important roles the Natives played in the onset of the process, the Europeans nevertheless overcome the influence of the Natives negating most of the argument proposed by Ray.

Telehealth Nursing in Ontario, Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the Telehealth Ontario nursing system in Ontario, Canada. Telehealth Ontario is a free around the clock health care consultation service which has been available to Ontario citizens since February 2001. The service allows a patient to call a toll free number and talk instantly to health care professionals who are Registered Nurses with over five years experience and have had additional training in telemedicine. The service is beneficial in many ways. Primarily, the service offers patients from rural communities who are often hours away from a health care center the opportunity to have their symptoms assessed by a professional without leaving their home. This not only cuts down on travel costs for the patients but also on admittance costs to the hospitals. The TeleHealth network is also used as a consultation service for specialists in urban centers to be able to assess cases which may be hundreds of miles away. The service also offers general confidential health advice in areas such as dermatology, cardiology, healthy lifestyles, psychiatry and teenage issues just to name a few. Since its introduction, the service has fielded nearly one million calls and allowed for a savings throughout the health care system which has essentially paid for itself.

The Advancement of Equal Rights in Canada in Relation to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing whether or not Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has allowed for significant advancement of equality rights in Canada. In 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms included within it Section 15 on “Equality Rights” which guaranteed all individuals equal protection before and under the law without any discrimination especially based on any of the nine factors of “race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability”. The second part of the Section also guaranteed the right to affirmative action programs without discrimination. Since that time, the concepts of “equality” and human dignity have become a prominent aspect of the law and even within cases which are not based on Constitutional concerns, equality is very much a large part. Different elements of the legal system have undergone revisions in order to recognize the need for equality within all areas. Some areas such as age discrimination or interprovincial legal differences still need further development in regards to the inequality which still exists. Overall however, it has been felt that the Charter has brought about a noticeable improvement in regards to equality in the country especially concerning the rights of women and minorities and the increased awareness within the legal system that equality is considered an important element of every case.

The Bioaccumulation of Toxins in the Canadian Arctic
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the bioaccumulation of toxins in the Canadian Arctic. Presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which include pesticides, industrial compounds, and combustion by-products are one of the major environmental and health concerns within the Canadian Arctic regions today. Measurement of POP bioconcentration or bioaccumulation levels within the Arctic have determined that the toxic contaminants primarily do not originate within the Arctic and therefore are transported there through air or water currents or migratory animals. The contaminants are considered persistent because they are able to exist for a great length of time and can tolerate many conditions. POPs are also lipophilic in which they are concentrated in the fats of animals. Because of this, bioaccumulation levels are higher in those animals which are higher on the food chain such as humans and polar bears as the contaminants get passed on through the digestion of the fat of animals with POPs in their system and makes them an extreme health hazard.
