From the Paper
" Stratford-on-Avon (Wikipedia 2006, AllRefer Encyclopedia 2005) is a constituency, which is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is a town and a district in Warwickshire in central England on the Avon River, which owes its fame to the greatest English playwright, William Shakespeare. A gabled building on Henley street is believed to have been his birthplace, purchased in 1597. Most of the structures and places in Stratford connected with his life were bought in the 19th century, such as the Edward VI's Grammar School, where Shakespeare was believed to have attended; the Shakespeare Institute of the University of Birmingham and the Shakespeare Center built on the same street in 1964 (AllRefer, Wikipedia)."

Abstract
In this paper, the variables of colonial surveillance found in Mitchell's analysis of British policy in Egypt, allows for other aspects of surveillance that involved the ideology of self governing and the penal systems brought forth by the British colonial system. By creating a penal system that constantly criminalized the local populations, a surveillance system could be validated to control Egyptians who denied British rule.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of the Loyalists on British North America from the time of the American Revolution to the early 19th century. Primarily, the paper examines this in terms of how it prevented widespread sympathy for revolutionary principles that existed among the general populace in Nova Scotia and Upper Canada from developing into active rebellion against Great Britain. Loyalist influence was not extensive, especially in Canadian possessions of the British Crown, but the existence of this influence, combined with the isolation of most Nova Scotia settlements and British control of the North Atlantic, had a restraining impact and played an important role in preventing the American Revolution from spreading into British North America.

From the Paper
"The Loyalists had a limited but relatively important impact on British North America from the time of the American Revolution to the early 19th century, primarily in terms of preventing the widespread sympathy for revolutionary principles that existed among the general populace in Nova Scotia and Upper Canada from developing into active rebellion against Great Britain. Loyalist influence was not extensive, especially in Canadian possessions of the British Crown, but the existence of this..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the influence of American films on the British film industry, noting that since British audiences consume American films, it is logical that consumption of American-style films should follow suit. The paper also suggests that emulation of American-style films is a negativism for the British film industry in other ways. Specifically, emulation of American blockbusters reduces incentives for participants in British film to develop and refine their own unique style. This paper explores these issues.

From the Paper
"The British film industry often frames itself in respect to its counterpart, the American film industry. Movies made in the United States typically gross larger sums than British films, a point that has long motivated the British film industry to identify American movie-making as a more profitable model. However, emulation of American films by British studios has typically fallen short of projections: the British film-going..."

Abstract
This paper explains that both excerpts from C.S. Giscombe's "Into and Out of Dislocation" and Peter Hudson's "Natural Histories of Southwestern British Columbia" discuss black history in British Columbia. The author points out that the two writers' styles are utterly different. The paper relates that Giscombe simultaneously relates the history of his travels in British Columbia and the history of John Robert Giscome, a man who was possibly one of Giscombe's ancestors.

From the Paper
"On the face of it, the excerpts from C.S. Giscombe's Into and Out of Dislocation and Peter Hudson's Natural Histories of Southwestern British Columbia seem to have little in common. Certainly, the two authors' styles are utterly different. However, closer analysis reveals many similarities between the two excerpts. The first and most obvious similarity is that both men have as their subject matter history - specifically, black history in British Columbia. Giscombe simultaneously relates the history of his travels in British Columbia and the history of John Robert Giscome, a man who was possibly one of Giscombe's ancestors."

Abstract

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Inigo Jones was born on July 15, 1573, in the Parish of St. Bartholomew's, Smithfield. Much about his life remains unknown, including the derivation of his name, details about his mother, and most of his early training. A tradition exists that he was apprenticed to a joiner in St. Paul's Churchyard, but this is only a tradition, with no evidence to support it. The anonymous author of the account in one book holds that Inigo was "early distinguished by his inclination to drawing, and was particularly taken notice of for his skill in the practice of landscape-painting," though most give no credit to this account. Little is known about whatever job he was pursuing until he gave it up to travel to Italy."

Abstract
This in-depth paper examines the xenophobic feeling prevalent in U.S. society which is exemplified by the laws of several states that display a hostile attitude toward foreigners and foreign languages. The writer of this paper discusses the lack of adequate English instruction in the school system which prevents non-English speaking students from receiving a proper education. This paper focuses on language rights in the U.S., which is a component of other rights as stated in the 14th amendment, that guarantees equal protection under law with regard to race or national origin. This informative paper cites numerous legal cases including the landmark bilingual education class action case of Lau vs. Nichols brought by non-English Chinese speaking students against the San Francisco Unified School District. This paper also explores the effectiveness of the Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 that requires affirmative action by a school district in overcoming language barriers that impede a student's equal participation in the educational process.

From the Paper
"Although not related to a foreign language, the case Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School Children v. Ann Arbor School District (1979) speaks to a lawsuit 11 black children brought against the AASD school board regarding an English dialect. According to the court, the plaintiffs assert that the children speak a version of "black English," otherwise known as Ebonics, as their community and home language, which impedes their equal participation in the educational process, and the school has not taken appropriate action to overcome the barrier. The District Court indicates that this case is an effort to require the school district to take appropriate action to teach the black children to read in standard English. Witnesses before the court testified that Ebonics is a language system that differs significantly from standard English and has been used at some time by 80 percent of the black people of this country. This dialect is especially prevalent in areas where there are concentrations of black people, and it contains aspects of Southern dialect that is used largely by black people in their casual conversation and informal talk."

Abstract
An examination of the issues and reasons which formed the decision in the Canadian cases of Sue Rodriguez and Robert Latimer. This paper examines the decision of the court in relation to the law, as well as the effects of the decision on disabled persons in Canada.

From the paper:

"The cases of Rodriguez and Latimer were landmark decisions, which set precedents over the practice of euthanasia in Canada. It is likely that these two decisions will be the cornerstones of future challenges to the laws which are currently in place prohibiting this practice. While both of these cases dealt with instances of euthanasia, the circumstances behind the cases were very different. Both have given rise to debate within Canadian society about the freedom each individual has over when and how we will die. Do we have the right to choose? Do others have the right to choose for us if we are not capable ourselves? The moral and ethical dimensions within these questions, difficult as they are, are even more complicated when the same questions are raised in relation to the criminal law. Both Rodriguez and Latimer were highly divisive cases which inflamed the emotions of those who support euthanasia, and those who oppose."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of "Lau v. Nichols" (1974), a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that declared public schools that do not offer English assistance instruction to students of limited English proficiency is a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

From the Paper
""Lau v. Nichols U.S." is a civil rights suit brought by Chinese American students in California against the San Francisco Unified School District. The case involved the English-only policy of integrated San Francisco schools. Chinese-American students of limited English proficiency brought suit against the district in "Lau v. Nichols" as a violation of their civil rights under the fourteenth amendment, but the Supreme Court ultimately found it a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of which flatly..."
