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
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 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.

From the Paper
"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.
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 treaties being formulated, altered, and broken."

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of intersectionality, which is the belief that systems of oppression reinforce each other. The author points out that William Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom!" is a novel that demonstrates that race and class are not only important because of what they culturally represent but also because of how the labels, such as "black", can affect the way people view and treat one another. The paper also relates that this book illustrates how race, in both a social and a biological sense, and class cannot be looked at as two separate entities but, instead, must be viewed as concurrent and coexisting ideas. The author presents the novel from the view point of the protagonist Thomas Sutpen.
From the Paper
"Thomas Sutpen experiences an intersection of race and class when he is a young boy. Sometime during his youth, his father asks him to deliver a message to one of the rich whites in town. He does, and when he gets to the front door, a black man answers. The man was a servant of some kind and asked Sutpen to come around to the back door. Before this incident, Sutpen's only "trouble was innocence." He had believed that white men were white and black men were black, and that automatically put the whites on top of the blacks."

Abstract
This paper discusses the characters of John and Jane in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." The paper shows how the characters can be seen to represent a clear dichotomy of practicality and imagination. The paper gives examples from the book to illustrate this theme of practicality and imagination coexisting in a state of a fragile balance.
From the Paper
"Whether or not these two opposite interests exist within the same mind or within the same house, the message is relatively clear. This message is that practicality and imagination coexist in a state of a fragile balance. If that balance is disrupted and one side begins to win over other in a dramatic fashion then a serious struggle will ensue. Both traits must give way to the wisdom of the other without overwhelming it--very much like the classic yin-yang symbol. If only Jane were allowed to write, it could have operated as a release valve in her mind. Just as a hyperactive child will run himself ragged and collapse into a sleeping heap when the energy has run its course, imagination will eventually be spent and the capabilities of practicality will resume. "The Yellow Wallpaper" shows us that this is not a reciprocal process, however, and that practicality must allow the hyperactive child of imagination run wild on occasion or else it will lead to spontaneous mental combustion."

Abstract
The paper addresses the founding of the European Union and its organizations. The paper discusses how different theories of international relations view political events in vastly different ways. The paper specifically examines the standard schools of thought (realist, liberalist, and feminist) regarding these international organizations, regarding their opinion on EU developments. The paper analyzes how diversity has given the region much of its culture and heritage, but it is now faced with the task of finding a method of coexisting under a federation of states in the EU. The paper concludes that despite the "growing pains" created by the tension between different states and varying degrees of cooperation among these states, the EU has evolved quickly into an effective and influential organization.
From the Paper
"Realists see regional organizations like the EU as "a gathering of sovereign states" all acting in their own self-interest and perpetually in conflict with the other states (McCormick 1999, p. 10). These conflicts, say realists, may be delayed, purposely set aside, or even settled, but each state will continue to operate within its borders under its own authority. Realism sees the state as a member of the international organization only because such membership is the most viable method of state survival in the global system (ibid.)."

Abstract
This paper explains that it is legitimate to claim that (1) Jesus is the way to salvation of the soul and that (2) the global defeat of sin and the establishment of the kingdom is a metaphor for the work of salvation within the soul. The author explores Vincent Branick's book "Understanding the New Testament and Its Message", which speaks of what two forms of salvation competing or coexisting within the Bible: (1) The internal, having to do with the cleansing of the soul and the indwellment of Christ and (2) The eschatological sort of salvation, which deals with Christ's second coming, his overcoming the world and finally creating a new heaven and earth. The paper relates that the teachings of Jesus regarding esteeming others above one's self and emptying one's self of worries for the world are closely paralleled in the pacifistic teachings of Eastern mystics.
From the Paper
"Branick rightfully points out how all the writers of the New Testament seem to expect Christ's imminent return. He even suggests that the scriptures were altered to cover up the fact that Christ was running a little behind schedule. Now, 2000 years later, it seems rather obvious that Jesus is not intending a speedy physical return -- at least not as we count speed, nor as the Biblical Christians did. It increasingly seems unlikely that Christ will show up on a white horse to purge the world of sin. If this is necessary to the ideology of salvation, then one might do well to scoff at it. It does not seem to be legitimate to project that Christ will save the world from the evil which is wrecked upon it by humans or by nature."

Abstract
While we live in a time of apparently unprecedented prosperity, although, admittedly, a recession may occur in the immediate future, we also live in an era defined by government cutbacks in areas of social welfare. This apparent policy paradox of great prosperity coexisting with extreme conservatism in budgetary policy will be the focus of this essay. It will argue that the explanation for this "paradox" lies, not in finance or economics, but in the fragmented social dynamic of our society. In this analysis, poverty will be shown to be as much a political as an economic construct. However, the prevailing political orthodoxy with respect to poverty and social spending is not likely to change, it will be argued, until economic despair grips a large portion of the population.
