From the Paper
"How is Florenceville Curling Club similar to traditional profit-oriented businesses like McCain's foods? Let us bear in mind that the Florenceville Curling Club owed the bank of Nova Scotia $122,400 by April of 1977 (p.4); there was a pressing need to maximize profits to pay off this debt. An aggressive fund-raising campaign began in the fall of 1979 (p.5). New revenue-generating techniques such as Club 200 were instituted (clubs of this sort are common at other traditional, profit-driven businesses) and expenditures were tightened (p.5). "

Abstract
This paper discusses sexual harassment in the Canadian workplace and possible solutions to the problem. More specifically, the paper discusses an article written by Michael Kaufman in the 27 March 2006 edition of the "Toronto Star," entitled "Effective Ways to Protect Against Sexual Harassment" and examines how Kaufman sets forth a series of practical suggestions in regards to how best to address the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. The paper also discusses the legal case, "Curling v. Torimiro" and how it relates to this issue.

From the Paper
"The summary notes that in the final decision of the Board, released 22 December 1999, defendant Alexander Torimiro was found to be responsible for conduct qualifying as sexual harassment against the complainant, Ms. Curling. Such conduct was found to be discriminatory on the basis of the complainant's gender, and it was also found that Mr. Torimiro engaged in retaliatory response against the complainant when the initial suggestions were rebuffed. The summary also notes that the Board of Inquiry found that Mr. Torimiro, in his commencement of legal action against the complainant, had in addition violated Ms. Curling's statutory right to claim Code protection without fear of threat of retaliation."

Abstract
This paper explains that the concept album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" by David Bowie, the self-made man who is famous for his fleeting construction of personas, changed the way heavy metal, hard rock, punk music, glam rock and progressive rock sounded. The author points out that David Bowie's teenage wilderness years coincided with the gold-lame era of vintage rock 'n' roll, which reached England in the late 1950s in the form of American hip-swinging, lip-curling singers giving vent to youthful frustrations in a way seen as morally threatening such as Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog", Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill" and Little Richard. The paper states that the album represented the archetypal rise and fall of the world of pop, which recently had experienced a sense of lost with the breakup of the Beatles and, with them, the cheery innocence of the 1960's; thereby, Ziggy became for many people the missing link between American punk and tight Beatle melodies.

From the Paper
"Kenneth Pitt first entered Bowie's life when he made a suggestion to Bowie's manager that there were already too many Joneses in the entertainment world. The Bromley-raised David Jones saw the adoption of a new stage name as an opportunity to redefine his faltering career and changed his name to David Bowie, after the American Colonel James Bowie, Davy Crockett's sidekick in The Alamo. Pitt and Bowie soon paired up, and it became apparent the Bowie desired to become the "renaissance man of pop". Bowie's aspirations were to sing and dance; he wanted to be seen as an artiste rather than someone who had only just recently shed his rough and ready R&B skin."

Abstract
This paper explains that the history of American society is steeped in the use of narcotics, hallucinogens, amphetamines and opiates that, for better or worse, has created various subcultures within America. From the gray curls of marijuana smoke wrapped languidly around the corners of hip smirks in the Beat Generation to the flamboyant rainbow of candy necklaces and neon lasers of Generation X ravers, the author describes these drug subcultures that have been as varied as any American demographic. The paper reveals that the eccentric lifestyle of these drug subcultures also created its own politics, art, literature and especially music, which became famous within the whole of American.

From the Paper
"America's first true culture that was heavily influenced by drug use was in fact, not even American at all. The immigrant Chinese laborers who came to the western shored of California to build railroads, brought with them opium, an exotic and alluring substance that soon took root in American society. The drug is made from harvested and cured poppy seeds, and chemists would later discover its use in creating heroin and morphine, but, in the late 1800s, it was most commonly smoked for the euphoric, dizzying sensation that it produced."

Abstract
The paper shows how hair science is a direct result of commercial interest in the industry, and its important role in economics and the social world, which has fostered its profound development over the last century. The hair care industry is a multi-million dollar business with serious economic, technological, social, and fashion attributes. Hair styles have changed dramatically, serving as part of the socio-cultural process of identity construction, gender relations, and political expression. Likewise, they have been as influenced by the social constructions they nurture. The paper examines the last half of the century which has witnessed the most development in hair science, with technical advancement evident in the at-home focus of many products, the introduction of chemical understandings to hair care, and the infrastructural focus on speed and results that has characterized the digital revolution.

From the Paper
"At the dawn of the century, the start of the 1900s ushered out the very end of the Victorian era. Known most for its political and revolutionary socio-cultural transformations, the Victorian era was also one of excess, superficial concentration, and popular culture. Hair was an integral part of the culture. "While women's hair, particularly when it is golden, has always been a Western preoccupation, for the Victorians it became an obsession." This infatuation with hair was neither a passing fad nor just an aesthetic attention, but it was a mechanism of societal imagery, assertion of gender norms, and the greater product of cultural symbols."
