Abstract
"We want to make this nation one which truly belongs to all its people; we seek to create a society in which all individuals have the opportunity to realize their full potential?. These sentiments, although forming part of Canada's New Democratic Party's socialist mission statement, are considered to be a close reflection of the values and beliefs that are commonly associated with Communism. The paper shows that the NPD, however, take great pains to distance themselves from the label of "communist", leaving the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) to carry the official flag of Canadian communism. The paper shows that under the guidance of the CPC, the development of Communism in Canada, unlike in Russia and other traditionally communist strongholds, has developed less rapidly, adopted a less extreme agenda and, as a result, continues to exert an appreciable influence upon Canadian politics and society. By adapting to changing social and political conditions, communism in Canada has successfully outlived the roots of its ideology.

From the Paper
"The demise of communism in the former Soviet Union, and other Eastern European states during the late 1980's resulted in a drastic reduction in public and political support for communist ideology throughout the world, including within Canada (History of CPC). However, despite this political setback, Canadian communism with its firm and well-established roots, successfully weathered the storm and, in recent years, has witnessed a renewed growth in popularity across Canada. One reason for this continued support for communism in Canada, as opposed to those countries in which it has all but perished, is the a wide range of popular issues that form their manifesto; including the fight against privatization, for shorter hours, for public ownership, the fight for jobs and the guarantee of basic labor rights in a new Canadian Constitution (Marshall, 1995)."

Abstract
This paper is based on an exercise in looking through English-medium news materials from the People's Republic of China (PRC) over a three month period that began in early March of 2008. According to the paper, periodicals were examined, week by week, allowing their contents to rise from the page in an inductive exercise that was very helpful towards spotting, between the lines, what the Chinese Communist Party government has wanted to instill in readers. The strongest attention was given to Xinhua whose contents are filtered directly by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Public Information.

From the Paper
"Student has tracked English-medium news from the PRC from early March to early June 2008. Observes much attention to the USA, positive regard for Bush government and a shared US-PRC concern for the environment; as a third broad topic -- much human interest 'filler' material, too. Each is discussed with attention to other media & scholarly sources helping an idea of Beijing's aims, NB desire to show CCP competence in dealing with Sichuan flood; dedication to ecology, and with human interest materials telling the reader all that he or she wants to see."

"The Caspian Sea Pipeline Project: An Analysis

Introduction and Statement of Purpose
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is pushing to construct an oil pipeline on the Black Sea in spite of stiff opposition from many local communities and contiguous countries, each of which perceive itself as having a political, economic and military stake in the project and its outcome (Caspian Pipeline Consortium?, 1999). The combination of energy resources, political tensions, and diplomacy has proven to be highly inflammatory, with accusations emerging that the United States is playing a dangerous game with Russia (Rosenthal, 1999). The giant pipeline is designed to carry Caspian oil to ports in the West on a route that does not pass through either Russia or Iran; construction of the pipeline, estimated at $2.4 billion ..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the 1949 Chinese Communist Revolution with the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. It provides a detailed analysis of the background history and politics of each revolution, the main people involved and the final results of two of the most significant revolutions of the 20th century.

From the Paper
"The 20th century was one of worldwide revolution. Every continent experienced at least one revolution during this time, and these greatly affected the world as we know it today. Two revolutions - the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1949 and the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979 - were particularly important. Both of these revolutions introduced new elements of change to nations dominated at the time by pro-Western influences. Mao empowered the rural peasantry in China to rise up against the Kuomintang elite and to seek a utopian and egalitarian Socialist society."

Abstract
This paper looks at the case of a 32-year old woman who is seeking help from a counselor after experiencing one of many beatings by her partner. The paper focuses on the steps which the counselor should take in order to assist the victim, such as informing and educating her and presenting her with the "Domestic Violence Handbook". The paper also discusses the three phases of the cycle of violence experienced by the abuser.

From the Paper
"Different states have their own established counselor protocols with regard to domestic violence. Counselors and shelters answer to standards and ethics that are required. For example, the client's rights, confidentiality issues, and policies for reporting child abuse are considered. Needs for safety and security are a priority. The counselor must keep shelter location and all other information regarding the client, confidential to assist in the establishment of safe conditions. All counseling services need to provide empowerment, privacy, domestic violence dynamics and resources information, referrals, and legal information regarding due process (Davies & Lyon, 1998, pp. 1-20)."
