Neighbourhood Change in the City of Toronto: Danforth Village Area The following paper will briefly look at neighbourhood change in the city of Toronto - specifically by looking at how things have changed in the Danforth village area just within the past dozen years or so. The paper will highlight how, socially, economically and demographically, the Chinese are taking over the area - with the attendant linguistic and political power surely not far behind. The area known as `Danforth Village' - which is to say, the area between Broadview and Woodbine Ave- has changed substantially over the years, though that change has really taken off in the last dozen or so years.

This marketing geography paper addresses two different retail developments in Toronto: (1) Commerce Court, and (2) Danforth Avenue. The author reports visits to each site and estimations of customer density based on 15 minute point observations.

"Ken Jones (2004) noted retailing as a major component of the Canadian economy (p. 185). In the next pages, two very different Toronto retail areas provide a sense of how successful retail areas are geared to expected, often particular, clienteles. North American research has shown the great importance of the shopping environment to customer tastes and encouragement given to different kinds of retail ventures (Walmsley & Lewis, 1993, p. 159).

Abstract
This paper gives a critical examination of the Greek community in Toronto, with a particular focus on GreekTown - also known as "GreekTown on the Danforth." According to the paper, this neighborhood has been the heart of the Greek community in Toronto since the early 1960s. This paper explores how the Greek community in Toronto proper and the Greater Toronto Area has been in transition for a number of years, given the decline of the residential core of the community in GreekTown, and the dispersal/assimilation of its population into the suburbs.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the term Manifest Destiny, coined by John O'Sullivan in 1837 in his "The Great Nation of Futurity", which attempted to explain and justify American expansion and westward movement. The paper holds that Manifest Destiny was sown into the fabric of American history even before O'Sullivan came up with the term. It traces the idea back to similar views held by Samuel Danforth's election sermon of 1670, as well as to Andrew Jackson's Second Annual Message to Congress. The paper explains that men used a collection of rhetorical tools such as paternalism, veiled benevolence, analogous conditions, the God argument, metaphors and exceptionalism to appeal to white Anglo- Christians to push and fulfill America's Manifest Destiny. Lastly, the paper asserts that the meaning of the term has changed today. The paper concludes that the United States no longer uses Manifest Destiny to seek land, but rather to spread American influence around the world as an uninterrupted political authority.

From the Paper
"The Monroe Doctrine established the idea that the western hemisphere is hands off from European nations. The Monroe Doctrine and manifest destiny go hand to hand. The Monroe Doctrine came into being because of the threat to our security by Russian imperialist. It is believed that manifest destiny was to not only spread out to the West but also include modern day Canada, Mexico, Cuba and surrounding islands. The Monroe Doctrine sought to curb other nations, especially European powers desire to expand in the United States backyard. The purchase of Alaska was to stop Russian expansion in North America. Also, the United States wanted to provoke fear in Spain and France from expanding to Cuba and Latin America. The United States did not want any other country other than themselves to lay claim on this side of the globe. Beyond the Pacific Ocean shoreline with the U.S., manifest destiny set its eye on Hawaii. There was enormous "economic, political, and military power" of the United States that heavily influenced Hawaiian politics (Kagan 325). In 1893, the United States with the help of "light-skinned property owners" over threw the monarchy and Queen Liliuokalani (325-326)."

"Danforth is the Deputy Governor of Massachusetts. Could he be a suspect? Could he possibly be a witch? The play certainly shows that he is evil in continuing the proceedings rather than admit he was ever wrong. He is, after all, the judge, who presides at the witch trials. He believes he is an honest man. He is relentless in his pursuit of the Witches of Salem. He has convinced himself and others that he is doing the right thing to clean out the den of Witches and purify the town of Salem once again. Even when Reverend John Hale backs away from his belief that John Proctor is a witch, Danforth refuses to listen. He and the theocracy of the town have no desire to stop the trials because to do so would be to expose himself as a sham. The theocracy is the ruling body of the town, a combination of politics and religion."
