Abstract
In this paper, a historical and issue-oriented discussion of rights claims is presented in order to address the difficulties of presenting an argument that rights can coexist between natives and other Canadians. However, the paper argues that such an argument can be made and presents a case for how the argument can be formulated.

From the Paper
"When the European colonizers established colonies throughout the North American continent, they came into contact and conflict with the native inhabitants that had dwelt in the land for centuries. Their initial contacts were colored by curiosity and concern on the part of both natives and colonizers. However, as colonies were established and the European hunger for land proved incessant, concern became alarm and even progressed to war in many cases. Colonizers were viewed as invaders by natives and the natives were viewed as uncivilized savages by colonists. The colonists' push across the continent resulted in land being contested and..."

Abstract
This paper examines issues of inter-ethnic coexistence in the Ukraine and in particular the Donbass Basin by illustrating that history matters in terms of ethnic composition and political preferences. It attempts to reconstruct the historical picture of the major ethnic groups living in Donbass in order to examine what social, political and cultural experiences they have gained during the centuries of their habitation in the area of modern Ukraine. It looks at the process through which the ethnic make-up of the area was determined, focusing on the delineation of particular groups , histories and traces the evolution of the minority issue under Soviet rule, as a factor that influenced the levels of their self-assertiveness which obviously matters under the new political conditions. It also analyzes major questions of inter-ethnic co-existence and cultural autonomy, on the level of state politics and mass public perception.

From the Paper
"When looking at the development of any young independent states, among the matters of special concern is the problem of the relationship between integration processes and the in-depth development of particular ethnic groups and regions. In staking out its claim of sovereignty and at the same time insisting on getting its own way, the multi-ethnic national state places itself in an embarrassing realm of double standards and therefore often becomes susceptible to quite a distressing level of internal torment. And yet some of the governments in question endeavor to implement liberal approaches, founded on the principle of preserving a balance between the prerogatives of the state and the priorities of the regions; and between the Nation's codes and the interests of the various ethnic groups in the population."

Abstract
The writer proposes that nature and society have not always peacefully coexisted; while one cannot argue that nature does not support mankind's existence, throughout much of early history mankind dominated over nature rather than lived synergistically within the context of natural society. The paper explores how ideas about nature, society and their interconnection have transformed significantly from the early 19th century to the present. While early history in America is marked by a period of ecological imperialism, modern environmental trends are shifting more toward an Arcadian outlook. The paper concludes that mankind has developed a greater appreciation for the interrelationship between nature and society and focuses less on exploiting or conquering the environment and nature, and more on supporting the environment and discovering new ways of coexisting with nature.

"As time progressed however, society began slowly but surely realizing the devastating effects industrialization had on nature. Slowly people began realizing that industrialization could not exist apart from nature, but rather everything man did to support industrialized processes influenced nature. Nature was not simply a source of natural resources for man to exploit, rather nature provided mankind the very sustenance he needs to survive. Slowly society began adopting a more conservationist rather than exploitative approach to nature. Prominent government agencies and members of ecological groups began realizing that nature and society must coexist in a more Arcadian manner."

Abstract
The paper explains that when Europeans colonized the land, the native inhabitants become a class of citizens that were treated as different and inferior to the conquering classes. The paper relates that as liberal western democracy attempts to establish equal rights for all citizen groups and as native groups learn how to press their claims, competing claims for land and treasure have been raised. The paper explores whether aboriginal rights can coexist with other rights and posits that coexistence is possible and even necessary, within the systems of government that Canadians have developed.

The colonists' push across the continent resulted in land being contested and treaties being formulated, altered, and broken."

Abstract
Dementia coexisting with depression increases the challenges for the elderly and their caregivers. Pharmacological, behavioral, or social support interventions may delay the need for nursing home placement or institutionalization. This paper examines how the best approach to treatment is a combination of therapies which may provide help and support to the caregiver as well as manage symptoms. It proposes a study to determine whether patients with coexisting depression and dementia can be effectively treated with less inpatient care.

"Dementia associated with depression increases challenges for the elderly and their caregivers. Many individuals with AD become depressed because they are aware of loosing their cognitive abilities and because of life circumstances and environmental changes. Research studies continue to work towards developing a cure or treatment strategies for AD and related dementias; however, depression often goes undiagnosed. Depression coexisting with dementia accelerates loss of autonomy (Ritchie & Lovestone, 2002, p. 8). Undiagnosed depression in people with AD and other dementias is a problem, especially since depression is treatable."

Abstract
This paper explains that Virginia Anderson's "Creatures of Empire", which explores the relations between English settlers and Indians in early colonial America, argues about the significant part English animals, especially cattle and pigs, played in advancing colonization. The author points out that Anderson believes that these animals, as tools of settlement, succeeded in complicating relations between natives and colonists because they forced adaptation and change on the native peoples previously content without them. The paper concludes that Anderson wrote that the friction between these two peoples progressively increased, aided in large part by disputes over domesticated animals, which led eventually to the outbreak of violence in the mid 1670s.

From the Paper
"Informed by pretentious attitudes, settlers assumed that the obvious benefits of husbandry regarding livestock and farming, just like civility and Christianity, would work as a testament to themselves, convincing the Indians quite effortlessly of their superior nature. Wholly champions of Indian adoption of husbandry practices in favor of a Christian life, even when small disputes played out, the English solution typically involved an attempt at compromise with the Indians while continuing efforts to impress upon them husbandry."

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence and types of psychoactive substance use disorders plus other non psychotic mental disorders among a population of homeless persons participating in a behavioral day treatment and contingency management drug treatment program. This study also examines the differences in severity of functioning by diagnostic status on admission to treatment and the effect of diagnostic status on treatment outcome. In this article, the writer examines whether there are effective ways to treat co occurring / existing disorders simultaneously instead of using a multitude of techniques. In addition, the writer determines the amount of supporting documentation on effective treatment methods, as well as possible data on other effective methods and methods that may have been proven ineffective or untimely. This study also serves as current research on what characteristics have been determined to create co-occurring / existing disorders.

From the Paper
"Although there are treatments for a multitude of disorders that exists there is very little known about methods that treat these disorders simultaneously. Therefore, there is a need to determine if there are co current methods are they effective, how much is known about them, and if there are not currently any methods, are there ways to develop methods that will work on a combination of disorders simultaneously. Co occurring/existing disorders exists, treating these disorders has occurred through numerous channels, this often may cause some distress on the part of the patient; it is also possible that methods may contradict each other in certain aspects. One of the most significant problems is the lack of research on methods to treat co occurring/existing disorders. There is also a lack of information on why co occurring/existing disorders occur, as well as what possible indicators are there that may help clinicians predetermine when co occurring/existing disorders will occur."

Abstract
This paper, which heavily emphasizes the need for humanity to utilize methods of living with nature rather than envisioning the natural world as a source of material goods, presents a concept that is by no means new but is almost always overlooked: Humanity's perception of the natural world as an enemy and a source of plunder will eventually lead to its downfall.

Abstract
This paper is a philosophical investigation into the nature and grounds of religious beliefs. The author tries to answer questions regarding the nature of God, the immortality of the soul, the nature of miracles, and the problem of evil. The author uses the writings of Einstein, Russell, Freud and Nietzsche, who pondered these larger questions. A newspaper article is attached/

From the Paper
"There are barriers to the belief of God as much today as there was at the beginning of time. And there have always been those that argue for and against such an existence. The process of faith, of belief is something of a struggle even for those that don't spend a day without the strong after taste of their daily prayer. Religion offers a sense of belonging, a sense of closeness, a sense of meaning in a sometimes cold world. But secularism offers its own set of strengths and reliefs that are not found in religion. But this biggest argument concerning religion is the one that comes because of the deep contrast it makes with the laws of science; somehow, things have just never lined up. We live in a world that says, "If you can't see it, it can't be true.""

Abstract
This paper examines how, since the 1980s, the idea of Aboriginal sovereignty has been a subject of growing debate in Canada and how centrally at issue is the dispute over Aboriginal rights. It discusses how there is a contrast between traditional Aboriginal values and those of modern-day society and how within Canada there exists a prevailing tension between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals on many levels. It analyzes how the government is in need of serious revision and why some Canadians feel that the only solution to the crisis the Aboriginal peoples presently find themselves in is some form of Aboriginal sovereignty. It shows how these Canadians believe that the best way to address the crisis is to have First Nations peoples control their own destiny through self-determination in order to confront current challenges successfully and ultimately lead to a greater state of well-being for its peoples.

From the Paper
"In addition to the Indian Act, which was subsequently amended multiple times, other influential policy documents were developed including the Statement of the Government of Canada on Indian Policy (1969), also known as the White Paper and Citizens Plus (1970) which "presents a counter-policy written by the Union of Alberta Indians, a treaty Indian group, in reaction to the federal document" (41) and called for Aboriginal self-determination. The White Paper's aim "was to outline a strategy that would integrate Indian peoples into mainstream society" (43). Conversely, "The guiding principles for economic development, proposed in Citizens Plus, suggest a reliance on a combination of government assistance and private enterprise [in order to] make reserve communities into centers of profitable and productive private industry" (49)."
