Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and track Canada?s perceptions of its changing place in the world as a result of the two world wars, with respect to loyalty and nationalism. Its objective is to link these changing perceptions to broader socio-cultural, economic and political ideas socially and economically. It shows how throughout the course of history, Canada is tracked as at first giving allegiance to Britain, as it was a British colony and how, under the guidance of Mackenzie King, Canada changed course and began to emulate the United States, politically, socially and economically.
From the Paper
"Secondly, Canada was tied to Britain socially?Britain was a supplier of immigrants. Immigrants satisfied a variety of purposes, for example, the transportation of lumber from Canada to Britain was paid for by immigrants??Efficient use of the equipment used for shipping those heavy, bulky wood products eastward across the Atlantic demanded an equivalent cargo in weight and volume pay its way westward? (Zerker 10). While the immigrants provided labour for the British colony, they also facilitated the lumber trade through immigration to Canada, such that the transportation of lumber was paid for. Thus in Canada?s earlier years, Canadian loyalty to Britain increased, since apparently Canada?s well-being depended on Britain's."

The paper explains why Canada's policies around climate change have been changing so often.
Outline:
Introduction
Why has Canada taken these Actions?
What Should Have Been Done?
From the Paper
"Canada has engaged in a number of activities in relation to combating global climate change. On December 17, 2002 Canada became the one-hundredth country to ratify the Kyoto Protocol(Weibust 2003: 287). By ratifying the Kyoto Protocol Canada made firm commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. According to MacDonald Douglas and Heather A. Smith in "Promises Made, Promises Broken", Canadian Negotiators agreed to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 6 per cent no later then 2012(Douglas and Smith 1999-2000: 357). What this means is that Canada under Prime Minister John Chretien was certainly willing to co-operate with the larger world community. They had made firm commitments and seemed to be following similar policy paths to European Union."

Abstract
This paper examines the most important and likely ways that Atlantic Canada will be affected by climate change. The paper demonstrates that climate change has the potential to have a devastating effect on the forests, farms and economy of Atlantic Canada.
From the Paper
"Another way in which climate change could negatively impact Atlantic Canada's forests is by causing mid-winter thaws to become longer, and to occur more often. These thaws cause air bubbles to form in stems, and if these remain they will prevent water from flowing into the leaves when spring comes. Also, if there are extended thaws, when the soil freezes again it can damage roots. This means that when the spring comes, the roots are damaged. However, it is the roots that usually produce the pressure to expel the air bubbles."

Abstract
Family structures and gender roles are ultimately related to the level of complexity and change in the general society. This paper critically discusses this statement with reference to ideology, economic and political change and social change in non-Western and Western societies. It looks at how family structure is considered by social scientists to be closely integrated with the level of complexity and change in society.

Abstract
This paper reviews the effect that economic change has had on the Canadian family structure as a unit. This paper also discusses the influence that the sexual revolution had on this issue which lead to more women starting to work outside of the family home.
From the Paper
"Since the 1960s, a change has been occurring in the structure of the family in Canada. This change began with a rising divorce rate in conjunction with economic change when "increased work responsibility of women also tended to bring about changes in the structure of the family" (Vago, 1989, p. 132). Causative and contributing variables have operated in a complex interaction. An escalation in divorce rates, for example, had its origins in other changes such as the sexual revolution and the large-scale entry of women into the workforce."

Social Change and Same-Sex Marriage in Canada, 2006.
An examination of same sex marriages and Canadian society.

Abstract
This paper examines the legalization of same-sex marriages in Canada and the shift in society that brought about this change. The paper discusses the negative attitude of Canadian society in the past toward same-sex marriages. The paper also notes that more same sex couples were becoming parents, while increasing numbers of lesbians and gays were coming out of the closet and, as a result, many more non-gay Canadians realized that people they knew - family members, friends, other parents at their children's schools - were gay and lesbian, and due to this became gradually more tolerant. The paper explains that the biggest social change in Canada this century has been the legalization of same sex marriage which happened in June of 2005, when the federal government, led by the Liberal Party under Paul Martin, legalized same-sex marriage for all of Canada.
From the Paper
"For a very long time in Canadian society, the very idea of same-sex marriage would have been preposterous. After all, up until 1967, sex between consenting adults of the same sex was actually illegal. This, it is argued, was absolutely unacceptable in a country that has enshrined equal rights for all adults in its Bill of Rights. However, it seems that this bill was not far-reaching enough, given that the state still saw fit to prescribe appropriate sexual behaviours between consenting adults."

Justice Management in Canada, 2008.
This paper looks at police management within Canada, with a focus on changing police cultures.

Abstract
The paper discusses recent as well as traditional problems which plague Canadian police departments. The paper looks at how practices have changed so as to create a more supple, responsive and "fair" police services architecture. The paper then examines the challenges police culture will present in the future. The paper shows how progress has certainly been made, but more can still be done.
From the Paper
"To begin with, it is fairly evident that police leaders must take pro-active steps to mold (or re-mold) the organizational culture percolating below them insofar as concerns about the secretive and sometimes troubling nature of Canadian police culture have existed for a number of years. For example, in the middle 1970s, studies critical of Canadian police culture began to surface. One of the more notorious of these was a 1974 paper contributed to the Fourth International Symposium of Comparative Criminology, held in Montreal, Quebec. In this study, much mention was made of police sub-cultures which privileged solidarity, possessed a suspicious, paranoid mind-set, a moral conservatism and right-wing political views."

Abstract
The essay examines the advantages and disadvantages of Section 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code of Canada. Some critics view it as an adequate option for sentencing criminals whereas others believe it directs the Western legal system away from adequate reform. The paper concludes that the code reflects the liberal character of the Canadian justice system.
Outline:
Introduction
Section 718.2 (e): Point/Counterpoint
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The arguments for Section 718.2 (e) most closely resemble Canadian legislative ideals. The point that Section 718.2 (e) only offers judges the option of employing sanctions other than confinement upon sentencing is demonstrative of the liberality of choice that is part of the Canadian justice system. The argument that Section 718.2 (e) is part of a general effort to represent enlightenment and a real effort to address the problem of Aboriginal overrepresentation in correctional institutes is one which is also particularly relevant to Canadian legal thinking."

Abstract
This paper discusses the first four chapters of Dennis Raphael's text, "Poverty and Policy in Canada: Implications for Health and Quality of Life." It specifically looks at how the views that the writer formerly held on poverty changed profoundly after reading these chapters. The paper aims to answer seven questions that explore the writer's images of poverty in Canada.
From the Paper
"Among the most troubling things I took away from this source was the realization that Canada, unlike the axioms I had absorbed while in public school, was not a land of equality, but a land of great inequality. In the short, the fact that so many groups in this nation grapple with poverty suggests that racism, possibly sexism, and certainly neglect all inform our social policies. I think it is also clear, just glancing at pages 69-70 at the text, that welfare benefits for the poor are impossibly meager and are growing worse all the time. We are, finally, turning our collective back on minority groups, the disabled and aboriginal Canadians even as we claim to care about them; our rhetoric as a nation is simply not in accord with our actual actions as a people."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.
From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."

Change in Canadian Home Care, 2006.
This paper explores change and conserving at the organizational level and change and persistence at the individual level.

Abstract
The paper discusses how change can take place on several levels at once and exhibit the same characteristics at each level. The type of change that this paper addresses involves change and conserving at the organizational level and change and persistence at the individual level. The change is related to the new focus on home care in Canada. Furthermore, the paper explains that while persistence and conserving normally are regarded as hindrances to growth (Bolman & Deal, 2003; Pilkington, 2000), it is not certain that such is the case for this situation. The paper points out that this is also a situation where re-framing is needed at all levels to demonstrate that a successful outcome is possible when such a change is carefully planned and resources and support are made available.
