Abstract
The paper presents a memorandum to the Health Commissioner of NYC: "First I would like to express my appreciation for all the organization, strategic thinking and planning that has gone into TCNY. The passport, brochure, policy paper and annual reports are filled with pertinent information for the target population and those who serve them. The hard work that has gone into this project has not been overlooked. With that said I would like to move beyond creation, strategy and implementation of TCNY and discuss how to get the word out to the people who will benefit most from the program's initiatives."

Abstract
This paper examines "The report of the Canadian Democracy and Corporate Accountability Commission," which was researched and written in 2001 and issued in January 2002. The essay argues that this is an important document that will contribute to the ongoing debates concerning corporate responsibility and the role of stakeholders in modern business. The essay also considers how the case of Enron in the U.S. has negatively impacted the Commissioner's report, and how this event may influence the interpretations of this commission's work and recommendations.

Abstract
The paper presents an alternative telling of the final chapter of the novel "Things Fall Apart". The paper uses the first-person perspective of the District Commissioner to present a view of him that reflects his own moral beliefs in what he does, while at the same time illustrating the mindset that leads to the colonial impulse. The paper points out that no attempt has been made to match the style of "Things Fall Apart".

From the Paper
"Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is a story about many things, but primarily about a man trying to hold his family and life together in Nigeria during the time of colonization. History, and indeed any fair application of moral sentiment or an ethical system, has determined the acts of the colonization efforts to be unjust, and in no way is this exercise meant to veer away from this view. Yet it must be acknowledged--and is so by Achebe in the novel, according to fair reading--that the individuals are often involved in unjust acts without themselves being unjust people. This is true not only of Okonkwo, but also of the individual representatives of the colonizing force, typified in the person of the District Commissioner."

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of the structure of the US government is there is no single authority controlling or commanding the economy. This structural decision allowed for the creation of the free-market system in its current incarnation. No single person or institution can have an over-riding effect on the performance of the economy as a whole. However, there are a number individuals who can, to a greater or lesser degree, have an effect on the economy. This brief paper will examine the following four such figures: (1) the president, (2) the Federal Reserve Chairman, (3) SEC Commissioner, and (4) the attorney general.

Abstract
There is much debate over whether Catherine the Great was an enlightened despot. This paper discusses that, despite contentions that her policies were enacted to only benefit herself, Catherine the Great studied the works of leading enlightened thinkers so that she could make educated decisions for her country. It explains how Catherine the Great's exact goals as a ruler may be found in her 1766 work, entitled "Instructions to the Commissioners for Composing a New Code of Laws," which references enlightened thinkers of the day and promoted the creation of a free society. Although Catherine the Great did not achieve all of her enlightened goals, she took steps that allowed them to be realized in the future.

From the Paper
"Despite occasional shortcomings, Catherine the Great ruled Russia as a true enlightened despot from 1762 to 1796. During that time, she corresponded with many renowned thinkers of the enlightenment and converted their theories into law. Additionally, she made significant agricultural and scientific reforms, and she attempted to bring equality to Russian society. Although she failed to end serfdom, she promoted the ideals of equality for all under the law. Because of this, Catherine the Great must be considered a dedicated and successful enlightened despot."

Abstract
This paper discusses how The Securities Exchange Commission is charged with the overseeing of the stock exchange and that includes the investigations of alleged insider trading practices. It discusses how in recent years the SEC has evaluated and reformed many of its organizational behaviors for the purpose of trying to curb the much-publicized insider trading cases that it has had to handle. It examines some of these changes in its organizational behavior such as the even distribution of commissioners from the Democratic and Republican political parties to protect the SEC from being accused of being driven by partisan desires and changes in employee conditions.

From the Paper
"The SC has over 3,000 staff members throughout the United States. They are charged with overseeing the activities and transactions of more than 14,000 companies. This included 700,000 representatives that are registered through the SEC and over 8,000 brokers or dealers of stock(Boodhoo, 2001). There are 30,000 investment portfolios that are also a part of what the commission must oversee and guide. The organizational behavior and culture of the SEC seems to drive staff members to other agencies or civilian companies according to many experts in the field. The low pay, high stress, overwork, and political ramifications often prove to be overwhelming."

Abstract
This paper discusses the power struggle that ensued between native tribes and European settlers during the late 19th century. The author discusses the underlying causes that drove both the Cree and the government of Canada to seek peaceful alliance, the great differences in culture and consciousness between the natives and the European descendents and the discrepancies between the promises made by the Commissioners of Treaty Six and the realities experienced by the Cree.

From the Paper
"In September of 1870 the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) transferred the empire of Rupert's Land and the North West Territories to the Government of Canada. The government sought to enlarge the Dominion of Canada and encourage settlement to the west, though before this was possible a new alliance had to be formed with the Cree Nation, the Plains Crees, and the Wood Crees. Treaty Six was negotiated in 1876 and involved the title to 121,000 square miles of Saskatchewan and the welfare of 7000 Indians and 2000 half-breeds."
