Abstract
The paper looks at multi-ethnicity in Canada and at what unifies this nation. It focuses on the sport of hockey as an important component of the country's national identity. It looks at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and its struggle for identity, claiming that when it broadcasted its first "Hockey Night" in Canada, it found it's "true being". The paper explores the origin and importance of CBC's "Hockey Night" to national unity. It explains how the program crossed the boundaries of young and old, rich and poor, urban and rural, French and English, east and west. The paper also discusses the controversial aspect of the program's time slot, overlapping the national news. The status of the program as a source of education is mentioned and the paper concludes with a review of the contribution of CBC's "Hockey Night" to the national identity of Canadians.

From the Paper
"Canada is comprised of many different cultures, spread over a vast geographical region. The only way for all these different types of people all over Canada to create a cohesive united nation to dwell on the similarities, which are shared amongst the majority. Cultural identity, it could be said can found when a whole nation can share in and care about a similar subject. For Canada this sense of national identity is represented by the sport of hockey. In any social or academic setting where the topic of discussion is Canadian identity the lists always begin with peacekeeping and multiculturalism and always come back to hockey. Some may say hockey is only a symbol of Canadian identity, and is no different then a moose, a beaver, or long winters. Hockey however has more then a symbolic animal because hockey gives a spirit of unification and it is here where our country has celebrated some of its greatest victories and most horrifying defeats. The love of the sport of hockey may not be shared by all Canadian citizens, but it is certainly been loved and adored by many since its beginnings in Montreal in 1875."

Abstract
In the CBC Digital Archives collection entitled "Hippie Society: The Youth Rebellion" we can see how the Canadian media - in the form of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - represented the counterculture youth movement of the 1960s from a Canadian perspective. This essay will examine the Canadian counterculture of the period using these video and audio clips as primary historical sources, with a range of secondary sources being deployed to critically interrogate both the "lens" - the perspective - of these primary sources, as well as their content. The thesis will be argued that the English Canadian counterculture of the 1960s was a complex generational rebellion that - in terms of its representation in the mass media - functioned as part of a hegemonic process by which the dominant culture reshaped itself against an acceptable subculture, while downplaying more challenging subversive forces. As will be seen, these primary historical sources exist as both fascinating windows into an historical periods as well as examples of the process by which a dominant culture and ideology attempts to retain dominance through a dynamic tension with countercultural ideologies.

Abstract
The paper outlines how this recent CBC news article discusses the important health issue of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) in Canada. The paper discusses the causes, incidence and prevention of this disorder, but points out that the information discussed in the article could have been more effective had appropriate statistical figures been used. The paper asserts, however, that despite this deficiency, the article highlights the existing lack of consensus among the physicians in Canada about alcohol use and the lack of a clear policy guideline that could be universally adopted. This paper argues that it is time that Canada, which is supposedly enjoying the highest standards of healthcare in the world, wakes up to this growing crisis.

From the Paper
"A recent CBC news article discusses the important health issue of fetal alcohol syndrome in Canada. Fetal alcohol syndrome refers to a spectrum of disorders from learning disabilities to impaired memory, loss of attention span to hyperactivity, physical deformities such as facial distortions, cardiac complications, etc. Prenatal exposure to alcohol is the cause of this group of symptoms, which are collectively known as the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The article quotes Dr.Vyta Senikas, the vice president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada. "It is one of the most common birth defects that we see. The key issue with this birth defect is that it is completely preventable". [CBC News]"

Abstract
The article I am summarizing is "Pickton gets maximum sentence for murders" from CBC News, December 12, 2007. It tells the story of the sentencing of a serial killer, Robert Pickton. He was found guilty in December 2007 on six charges of second degree murders, and he was sentenced to life in prison in New Westminster, British Columbia. He got the maximum sentence because Judge James Williams said the community was outraged by his murders.

From the Paper
"The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the government-operated television and radio system in Canada, a form of public broadcasting analogous to PBS and NPR in the United States and to the dual services of the BBC in Great Britain. The system in Canada has been developed both to provide service to regions of the vast country that otherwise might not be served, to provide specialized services to specialized populations, and overall to project a positive sense of what it is to be a Canadian. The latter element is in part derived from a continuing concern about the power of the American broadcast media and American culture in general, and the desire for protecting Canadian culture and for promoting Canadian content is very much an element in the operation of the CBC in all of its ramifications. An analysis..."

Abstract
This paper explains that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a leukemia in which the lymphoblast cells proliferate abnormally, resulting in the rapid progression of the disease with the abnormal cells easily infiltrating any organ in the body. The author points out that Jimmy has a favorable prognosis because his WBC count of 3,600/uL is within the range that suggests a favorable prognosis. The paper relates that two chronic complications of ALL are infection and bleeding.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In ALL, a white blood cell lymphoblast becomes genetically altered and begins to clone itself and proliferate. This cloning begins in the bone marrow, where white blood cell production occurs. In healthy individuals, white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and transferred to the blood on a continuous basis. In individuals with ALL, the same process occurs, except that white blood cell production proceeds at an excessive and uncontrollable rate. The normal blood cell production in the bone marrow provides the blood with the white blood cells. This means that when proliferation occurs, the cells produced naturally are transferred to the blood. These cells are then transported throughout the body. The proliferating cells can also be transported to the thymus, liver, lymph nodes, testes, and the CNS, and can continue to proliferate from those locations. ALL also results in reduced levels of the other components of blood including platelets and red blood cells because the proliferating white blood cells crowd them out."

Abstract
The paper examines three news reports on a series of car bombs that exploded in Iraq from the Middle Eastern Al Jazeera News, the European BBC News and the North American CBC News. The paper goes on to show how each broadcasting station has its own set of standards and rules that determine which specific news content is relevant.

From the Paper
"The war in Iraq has entered its fifth year and despite the bravado Pres. George W. Bush puts in his speeches about getting the job done there, there is still truly no end in sight. To-date, death toll of American soldiers reached the 4,000 level and violence still pervades the country. Despite the protracted and drawn out war in Iraq, it is still a newsworthy item and several news organizations - be it print, radio or television - cover the day to day events. But like any endeavor the way the media covers a news event depends on the organizational culture and corporate policies. In addition, those covering the news have different perceptions and they view what they see differently because of their personal biases, knowledge, experience and opinions. Especially when one looks at the coverage of foreign media, there would most likely be distinct reporting standards and criteria."
