Abstract
Canada is a country that has been built into a modern industrial nation by countless immigrants who have streamed into the country over the years. While these immigrants have provided the essential skills and labour to make Canada economically successful, their sheer diversity also imposes challenges on the society. Canada has responded to these challenges with a unique official policy of multiculturalism. This policy has generated both praise and criticism. Even today, it remains a contentious issue.

Is the concept of a "hybrid identity" or "mestiza consciousness" compatible with a multicultural society, in the sense that multiculturalism implies hard and fast boundaries between cultures while "hybrid identity" is less rigid?

Abstract
On 6 June 1944, more than 6,000 fighting ships and transport vessels began from ports in Britain for the French shores. More than 11,000 aircraft dropped countless bombs on the beaches of Normandy. Airborne assault forces went into action joined by the marines. Thus began the longest day, or the landing of the American Forces on the eastern coast of the European continent, which was northeast France. By the end of the day, some 100,000 soldiers and officers of the Allied armies gathered on the beaches of Normandy and proceeded to progress up the beach into enemy territory. This opened the second front in Western Europe (Hoyt, 175).

Abstract
This paper argues that if Slobodan Milosevic had been eliminated at the start of the Bosnian crisis, the tremendous amount of bloodshed and loss of life that took place under Milosevic's rule could have been prevented. The paper argues that the decision by major military leaders to remove Milosevic by military means rather than by ordering his assassination resulted in an unnecessary loss of lives.

From the Paper
"There is a saying that warns that those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Despite the truism inherent in these powerful words, history is repeating. The horrific genocide which resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews under the murderous and maniacal Adolph Hitler during World War II is being repeated. This time, instead of Hitler, the maniacal dictator is Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The catchword these days isn't "genocide," but rather "ethnic cleansing," a seemingly innocuous term that belies the mass destruction of the lives of countless ethnic Albanians in and around the Yugoslavian province of Kosovo."

Abstract
The following paper examines how the U.S. military dealt with the moral issues of human death in the Vietnam War, with particular reference to the 'My Lai Massacre'. This paper illustrates and discusses in detail how such an event happened, and examines how the massacre affected the way Americans view the Vietnam War, the government's participation in the war, and the moral issues that go along with the human deaths that are inevitable during wars and conflicts with other nations or enemies of the United States.

From the Paper
"The My Lai massacre was triggered by a series of events that led to many deaths of the American troops in Vietnam, particularly the 11th Brigade of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Charlie Company, the troop of soldiers that were later accused of mass murdering the civilians in the village of My Lai. In a comprehensive report by Mark Gado (2001) of The Crime Library entitled, "Into the Dark: The My Lai Massacre," the author discussed in detail several events that have occurred which may be attributed as one reason why the soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the Charlie Company were able to kill many people, civilians who were defenseless against them. Gado discussed the difficulty the Americans were facing in looking for the North Vietnamese army and the Viet Cong, and one of the solutions that the American military were able to formulate to indirectly inflict harm to the enemy is by destroying all resources that might prove to be helpful to them."

Abstract
This paper discusses how magnetism is one of the most valuable phenomenons known to man and how throughout the many years after its discovery, magnetism has been used for countless innovations and technologies such as the compass and magnetic levitation. Ever since magnetism was discovered and was put to use back in the 1100's people have been developing and using it for countless applications. This paper explains the history of magnetism, how magnets work, and a few of the uses.

From the Paper
"Metal that had a strange ability to attract other pieces of metal was discovered by both the Greeks and the Chinese at about the same period of time ("History of Magnetism"). It is unknown which civilization discovered it first, but the word that is currently used to refer to it "magnetite" is the Greek name that was given to the pieces of metal that possessed those remarkable characteristics. The word "magnetite" developed because the Greeks discovered magnetism near the region of Magnesia in Turkey (Trinklein , 465). At around the year 1000 the Chinese discovered that a freely suspended magnetic needle would always point north (Stern and Peredo). After this discovery magnetite got another name. This name was "lodestone" which means leading stone (Trinklein , 465). During Columbus' journey to the new world, he noticed that the magnetic compass deviated slightly from true north (true north is measured by the star "Polaris", better known as the "North Star"). Around the year 1600, William Gilbert suggested an answer. "

"Biotechnology and Food: Are the Advantages Worth the Risks?
Every day we awaken is another day closer to the future we envision for our advanced civilization, a future that varies for each individual but includes many of those ideas shared by countless books, movies, and television programs. As science continues to make rapid advances in all areas from astronomy to medicine to technology, that future becomes a greater part of our present. While some pioneers work on flying cars and others concentrate on faster computers, biotechnologists busy themselves with the manipulation of DNA, the makeup of all organisms and the biological basis for both a species? and an individual's characteristics. Recent advances in this technology, known as biotechnology, include cloning and gene therapy, a possible form of treatment for a variety diseases. "

Abstract
In Mark Twain's novel "Huckleberry Finn", civilization and natural life conflict and unwind as a theme which is portrayed throughout the novel. Huck begins to witness first hand countless aspects of society, and by choosing his own individuality and raising himself on instinct, creates an innate sense of morals, which become more civilized then society itself.

From the Paper
"In Mark Twain's novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain uses the characters, Huck and Jim, to develop the plot. In the novel Twain uses these characters to form a statement on the society of this day. Huck and Jim are on the run from civilization and they are both sceptical of the so called "civilized" society of which they are both profoundly sceptical. Huck is seen by the other characters as a dirty, uncivilized, backwards boy, and is constantly under pressure to conform to society's values. Jim, a slave belonging to the widow Watson, is not even considered a real person, but as property. The fact that the duo is traveling on the river in order to escape from civilization lends itself to the possibility of viewing this escape, from land to water as a symbol of the pairs escape from society itself. The difference between life on the river and life in the towns along the river is the first important theme in the novel. Huck throughout the book shows maturity and independence choosing to follow his own instincts before society's conventions. When viewed as a symbol, Huck can be seen to represent a natural way of life. Huck's internal struggle to come to terms with himself and society is a second theme present in this novel. He reasons through any problem he encounters by comparing his own instinctual responses with what is expected by society. He often chooses to on moral course of action of which society expressly disapproves. Huck learns more about Jim and starts to understand that the common stereotype regarding black slaves are morally incorrect. He comes to recognize the fallacy of racism. Huck sees that skin color is the only significant difference between Jim and any white man. Aiding Jim to escape from slavery triggers a crisis of conscious in Huck, which he overcomes when he realizes that his is the moral course of action, and that he cannot betray Jim. "I come to being lost and going to hell and got to thinking over our trip down the river; and I see Jim before me all the time" But somehow I couldn't seem to strike no places to harden me against him how good he always was? I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he's got now?." During Huck Finns journey down the Mississippi he begins to notice a serious inconsistency between the values of "civilized" society, and those that are natural to him. He eventually comes to reject societies values in favor of his own more moral system."

Abstract
The writer of this paper discusses the censorship of books in schools and how some books are condemned and challenged by schools because of the use of curse words or violence, homosexuality, sex, rebellion, the occult or countless other things. The writer stresses his opinion against censorship in the paper and also his feelings on how it is not only a violation of our freedom of speech, but it infringes on our education and our right to choose what we read.

From the Paper
"Freedom of speech is the cornerstone upon which the United States was founded. So essential is it to our national identity that it is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. It is essential to democracy. Without it all other rights are diminished to the point where there is no real freedom whatsoever. The freedom to read is a necessary corollary to the freedom of speech; it is also integral to democracy. Yet this most important constitutional liberty is constantly under attack by those who (ironically, often in the name of "freedom") would restrict the rights of others to read what they choose - often for the most ridiculous of reasons. This is a matter of great concern to our society."

Abstract
This paper is a biographical overview of J. Edgar Hoover and his role as director of the FBI. The author details his five decades of reform, power and how he abused it. The paper also examines his controversial personality and lifestyle.

From the paper:

"The life and legacy of J. Edgar Hoover is a subject of countless books, files and theories. Rumors surrounding this man run rampant. He single-handedly created the FBI we know today, but through a scheme of illegal and amoral activities. Hoover was the most effective and powerful director of the FBI, from 1924 to 1972. He created the FBI as a separate and distinct faction of the Department of Justice, and garnered public support for his activities. He fought communism, espionage, foreign sabotage, and organized crime. Ruthless in his ways, cunning in his schemes, Hoover?s influence on past and current laws and enforcement goes unchecked and unmatched by any other."

Abstract
This paper explores the interplay between man's potential and man's behavior. Hamlet's character is studied through utilizing excerpts from the play to form the standards by which to define man. The many aspects of Hamlet's character are brought to light and although it has been argued, and most correctly, that Hamlet?s character leads directly to his demise, it is precisely that character that has made him so attractive to countless scores of readers.

From the Paper
"Prince Hamlet, in saying "What a piece of work is a man" (2.2.293-294), brings to light the idea of man's inherent potential. "How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god" (2.2.294-296). In this sense, man is capable of infinite measures, of being, essentially, godlike. Yet in actual performance, man is too often ruled by his passions, and often so in the absence of reason. We, as humans, are capable of greatness and nobility, yet we are each also capable of behavior befitting a beast. Hamlet then asks of Ophelia "What should such fellows as I do crawling between heaven and earth"(3.1.128-129). All of the characters of the play are crawling between heaven and earth, yet some are drawn closer to the earth by way of their "beastly" behavior. The interplay between passion and reason therefore becomes paramount in placing the characters of the play on their respective "rungs of the ladder" between heaven and earth."
