Abstract
In "Jade Peony", Wayson Choy puts together a collection of stories about a family in Vancouver's Chinatown before and during the Second World War. Three siblings tell stories of their childhood experiences, all of which are extremely diverse. These stories reflect the immigrant experience, as Chinese newcomers try to adopt to their new society.

Abstract
In Kogawa's novel, "Obasan", the identity of the Japanese Canadian is an identity portrayed as a constant struggle between the spaces which lie between being Japanese and with the agony of trying to understand the Canadian contexts within which this family finds itself. This is the line which both separates the Japanese from the White Canadians, and the line which brings the Japanese into a relationship with Canadians, brought together and joined by a line which is not always visible, but which is drawing on the tensions of a shared history.

Abstract
The Canadian medical profession utilized science experts to try to implement what became known as "scientific motherhood." The effort to socially construct "scientific motherhood" was all about moulding Canadian families to be compatible with industrial capitalism. By teaching and regulating women's "child-rearing' expertise, male elites believed that they could engineer a society that served their interests. Thus, all of this was really about the enforcement of certain ideological values and the implementation of social control.

Abstract
In recent years we have witnessed a considerable amount of change, which has had an impact on the role of regulators in the broadcasting industry. Included in this is the development of the global marketplace as well as the rise of new forms of technology and media, such as the Internet, which can make regulation difficult if not impossible. This, of course, has raised the question of whether or not there is any role for regulation in this new and evolving environment. The purpose of this paper will be to examine these issues in light of this specific case of government regulation. This analysis will include an outline of the reasons why the government has intervened, the form of intervention, the results of intervention, as well as whether or not an alternative policy might be preferable.

Abstract
In spite of the advancement of the Feminist movement, the mass media in North America can seem very slow to show any confirmed gender equality. As this paper reveals in different examples, women are rarely the center of media presentations and when they are, they tend to be stereotyped. Far more often, women appear as 'objects' in relation to what are male stories or themes, in media materials that are clearly meant for male audiences. The subjects that are discussed in this paper point to the very important intersection of issues of feminism and those of race and culture.

Abstract
In this essay, I will examine Weber's philosophy, the basis of his beliefs and the development of his notion of the closing of the iron cage. This will provide a background from which I will address Canada's increasing governmental efforts at privatization and deregulation, policies which mirror Weber's understanding of the iron cage, since they create a system which strips people of power over their own lives.

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

Abstract
Globalization's social, political and economic repercussions are often presented in a positive light. Even though Canadians are being told that globalization allows them to pay less for their "Nike's" and offers them an economy "that operates at full employment" (McBride, Shields 28), there are significant negative effects resulting from this process which are, for the most part, swept under the proverbial rug. This economic venture has serious socio-political repercussions in Canada and abroad that require further analysis.

Abstract
It shows that, by increasing capital flows across borders, globalization significantly weakens Canadian sovereignty. Moreover, it fuels the policies of deregulation and privatization, which, in turn, hurts Canadian social programs and poor people. .
