Abstract
The paper discusses how since the Second World War, we have seen an upsurge in the production of popular culture for mass audiences in the capitalist economies of North America and Europe. The paper discusses how this connection between the notion of "coolness" and changes in the economy can be seen particularly clearly today, in the early 21st century, after decades of globalization; as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China proper have assumed a ever larger role in the global economy, so too have their pop cultural productions assumed "coolness" in the markets of the West. This paper explores this phenomenon, with reference to the transformation of "Asian" subculture in Canada; from racist portrayals only decades ago, to their defining "coolness" today. The thesis is argued that the social transformation of the popular image of this non-western group reflects how pop culture is closely linked to economic power and globalized cultural production in the postwar era.

Abstract
This paper examines the upsurge in the production of popular culture for mass audiences, with reference to the transformation of "Asian" subculture in Canada; from racist portrayals only decades ago, to their defining "coolness" today. The paper argues that the social transformation of the popular image of this non-western group reflects how pop culture is closely linked to economic power and globalized cultural production in the post war era. The paper explains that Canadian social historians have argued that the Canadian mass media played a critical role in the shaping of racist ideologies and stereotypes to exclude Asians from Canadian mainstream society. In conclusion, the paper shows that as Asian economic growth continues, it appears likely that Canadian pop culture will assume more and more elements of Asian popular culture in the years to come as the "coolness" of Asian culture becomes ever stronger.

Cross-Cultural Coolness and Economic Power

From the Paper
"Today Canada, and in particular its large cities of Toronto and Vancouver, are highly multicultural societies defined by mass media and integrated into the global marketplace. In this highly mediated space, Asian popular culture - from the Hong Kong action movies of John Woo, to the cross-cultural popularity of "bubble tea", anime and manga, to children's television programs such as Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z - has played a significant role in the shaping of our society. This fact is particular ironic given that, only a few decades ago, the popular image of Asian in Canadian society was highly racist."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at one of the first major successes in rap music-- James Todd Smith, also known as LL Cool J. The writer discusses that his enduring career (now expanded to include a wide range of creative activities) parallels the rise and endurance of rap music itself, a genre that many expected to fade quickly but which has become an important genre in American music.

Abstract
The paper describes the scenario where Dr. Jack Montrose called 911 after arriving home to find his wife lying dead on the floor, the apparent victim of strangulation during a robbery. The paper goes on to explain why the detective became convinced that Mr. Montrose himself murdered his wife. The paper points out how he applied Newton's law of cooling and the principles of molecular physics. The paper includes instructions to a teacher in the classroom on how to use this scenario in their classroom instruction. Tables are included in the paper.

From the Paper
"At this point in the story ask the class, "Does anyone know why Detective Roman was suddenly convinced that Mr. Montrose murdered his wife?" Write all the answers down on the board without getting explanations and then go back and ask the students why they thought it. Some may figure it out, some may not but it is the thought processes they use, the deductive reasoning and scientific interest that should be highlighted at this time. Then say "OK, let's see what happens in the interrogation room with Detective Roman and Mr. Montrose."
""Well, Mr. Montrose, or can I call you Jack, thought you would get away with it didn't you."
""Get away with what," the agitated widower shouted, "What have you arrested me for you should be out looking for those burglars instead of wasting your time with me. Your own Medical Examiner stated that my wife was killed between 8 and 10 and I was in flight during that time, check with the airline if you don't believe me."
'"Oh I did check and yes you were happily flying the friendly skies of United. And yes, the ME stated that the 120 pound Mrs. Montrose's core body temperature was 96.1 degrees Fahrenheit and in a 78 degree room that puts the time of death at least 3 to 4 hours earlier."
""There you see," said Mr. Montrose triumphantly, "I couldn't have done it.""

Abstract
This paper will discuss the story "Cool Like Me" by Donnell Alexander, and seek to understand the methods by which the author argues for within the text. By realizing the different facets of his beliefs, we can see the major ideas that he unravels, while being able to understand his style of writing. The techniques contained within the text will be examined to show how the author used his abilities to tell his version of 'cool.'

Abstract
The paper describes how energy consumption is increasing worldwide, depleting non-renewable sources and causing air pollution. The paper discusses how developed countries, like Canada are the biggest energy consumers. The ppaer further reveals that the United States is currently the biggest energy consumer, and in 1993 for example, approximately "33% of the energy consumed was to make buildings comfortable through heating, air conditioning, lighting and hot water. 64% of that energy is spent specifically on heating and cooling buildings".

This applies both to residential as well as commercial buildings. Therefore saving heating and cooling energy can contribute significantly to reducing..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the likelihood of Luke Cool's receiving damages in this case depends on whether the actions of Super Bikes and La Brute Manufacturing can be described as having been executed using "reasonable care". The author points out that Luke may be entitled to both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages from La Brute; however, Luke will likely only receive pecuniary damages in his suit against Super Bikes, as in contract law recovery of non-pecuniary damages is very rare. The paper concludes that, given that Luke was extraordinarily negligent in this case by not only continuing to ride the bike knowing it had a dangerous flaw, but also by riding on a difficult path and without a safety helmet, it is likely that his award in this case will be reduced significantly.

From the Paper
"Luke would have no likelihood of successfully suing the employee of Super Bikes who sold him the bike, or the employee who told him to return another day as the part was not in stock, as the law generally distinguishes between those who have a contractual obligation to perform, and those who may due the actual work. While he may sue the employees on the basis of tort of negligence, this is unlikely to be successful due to negligence being defined in the law as failure to show "reasonable care"."

"It was determined that this relationship is exponential and that the temperature of coffee at a given time can be found by using the equation

T = T0e(-0.0115)t.

This formal report contains a full theoretical background with all derived equations, as well as data tables and graphs to analyze and expound upon all pertinent data."
