Abstract
This paper explains that the shooting of Amadou Diallo on the streets of the Bronx, has become the epicenter of a national debate on New York City police misconduct and the racial divide between urban officers and the minority communities they patrol. The author presents the possible reaction of radical leftists, moderate leftists partially committed to relativism, centrists, moderate conservatives partially committed to absolutism and extreme conservatives properly known as racists and absolutely committed to absolutism. The paper admits that, perhaps traversing the political spectrum to explain delinquent minority behavior was a mistake, because political views naturally rely upon generalizations contradicted by real world phenomena; but real world phenomena, manifested in our personal experiences, are potentially misleading, too.
From the Paper
"Moreover, liberals rely upon potentially inaccurate generalizations in deeming America a racist society: Of all encounters between African Americans and New York City police, a small fraction result in the evils visited upon Abner Louima or Amadou Diallo. For every cab driver who purposefully neglects prospective African American passengers, another, perhaps several, pull over. For every store clerk who follows, physically or visually, African American shoppers, many greet their customers with a smile. Yet liberals judge the NYPD a racist institution, and cite cab driver and store clerk prejudices as evidence of a chronically racist society. Again, if the conservative view is wrong because of its reliance on generalizations and stereotypes, fine. So too is the liberal view for precisely the same reasons."

»

Abstract
The paper examines land claims disputes and related issues. The paper begins with the history of
the oppression and subjugation of the native people and discusses how the governments' of North America established control over the indigenous Canadians and Native Americans. The paper further reveals how the nature and history of the European colonization and settlement of North America are paramount to the conflicts, issues and challenges, especially concerning claims to the land, that were presented at the time.
From the Paper
"Beginning in the early eighteenth-century, native peoples in both Canada and the United States were subjugated and oppressed for more than two-hundred years as the Canadian and American governments established political, economic, social, and cultural dominance over native tribes and their lands. Comparing issues related to land claims, conflicts involving indigenous Canadians and Native Americans, and majority culture governments reveals that indigenous peoples face many similar challenges due to the nature and history of the European colonization and settlement of North America. While both indigenous Canadians and Native Americans have legitimate land claims and a host of other justified grievances, historians are in general agreement that American.."

Conflict and Conflict Resolution, 2007.
This paper examines the issue of conflict and resolution, studying the terrorist attacks of September 11.
3,753 words (approx. 15.0 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 103.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the multicultural policy that is administered by the Canadian government and concludes that it is marginal. It compares the treatment of the Native People in Canada and reflects on the serious problem in economic, health, and educational disparity in comparison to the larger white population. The paper discusses how the current government enactment of racial equality is not effective, yet the government enjoys a global reputation as being racial harmonious and protecting the Native Peoples from segregation.
From the Paper
"In this study, the alarming realities of racism brought forth on the Native Peoples of Canada has been a serious issue for modern Canada. Although new efforts by the government have been brought forth to help out this racial minority, it is clear that they still suffer under white hegemony through economic and social measures. In essence, the atrocities committed against Native Peoples in relation to their economic stability, are still being committed and reinforced in modern day Canada. In the past twenty years the problem of racism in Canada has not improved for Native Peoples on an economic level."

Cybercrime and Canada: Technology and Politics in Conflict, 2002.
An overview the conflict between business and government on the issue of cybercrime in Canada.
2,400 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 11 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will examine both types of cyber crime from a Canadian perspective. It will be shown how this division between government and industry mirrors the generally confused approach of Canada - and other nations as well - to the issue of cyber crime. Clearly the two key players in the fight against cyber crime are divided not only in their approaches to fighting cyber crime, but even in their perceptions of the primary types of cyber crime. Until there can be a general agreement between business and government in this area, it is unlikely that cyber crime will be greatly restricted.

Conflicts of Interest for Canadian Financial Planners, 2008.
A discussion of various conflicts of interest that exist for financial planners in Canada.

»

Abstract
This paper addresses conflicts of interests facing professionals in financial planning in Canada. The paper points out that the Financial Planner Standards Council (FPSC) was put together in 1996 in order to better regulate the rapidly expanding industry and to reduce or eliminate the potential for abuses in the industry - the most common abuses being the potential for conflicts of interest for the financial planner. The paper delineates 3 types: financial, structural and personal. The paper concludes with the suggestion that one of the best ways to protect the interests of financial planners is to become certified through the FPSC.
Outline:
Introduction
Conflicts of Interest
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another type of conflict may develop when the financial planner actually holds some type of formal or informal position of influence over that of the client. These are termed structural conflicts and while not very common are certainly difficult to regulate or prevent (List). Many of these types of conflicts of interest are prevented by the standards to which all Canadian financial planners must adhere to in order to remain certified financial planners through the Financial Planners Standards Council in accordance with its code of ethics."

From the Paper
"Arab-Israeli relations are influenced by problems between the two groups extending back centuries, and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 today remains a sore point in the Arab world. Arab-Israeli relations can be seen as a majority/minority relationship, but interestingly, this relationship offers one configuration in the Middle East and another in the United States. In the Middle East, the Israelis are the minority population and are surrounded by Arab nations. In the United States, the Jewish population is much larger than the Arab population and more visible as well. Tensions in the Middle East are great, while in the United States those tensions are much less given the American position of tolerance of differing opinions and intolerance of violence.
The international political economy of the Middle East is ..."

Abstract
Conflicts in Organization
Factors That Cause and Prevent Organizational Conflicts
Effects of Conflicts in an Organization
From the Paper
"Janssen's (2004) study on the conflict between the employees and superiors reveals that conflicts within an organization are salient job stressors that have detrimental impact on the relationship of an employee towards the organization. Janssen's study had found that conflicts, such as conflict with superiors, have psychological and behavioral effects to employees that reduce their empowerment to perform well for the best interest of the organization. However, despite of such result, Janssen stressed that conflict management can help in establishing the positive outcome from organizational conflicts."

Resolving Emotional Conflicts, 2005.
A look at the importance of effective communication skills in the resolution of emotional conflicts.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper talks about the need for, and the benefits of, effective communication in relationships when emotional conflicts arise, and, in particular, when emotional conflicts present themselves in a business relationship. The paper explains how an individual's lack of an understanding of how communication skills work and how important they are to other individuals will seriously impede that person's ability to resolve conflicts, while individuals who have good strong communication skills are able to deal with emotional conflicts quickly and easily.
From the Paper
"It appears that there are many processes and structures that are utilized to teach these things to individuals but they do not always work in the way that they should and many people are left with difficulties in communication when they face some type of emotional conflict with another individual (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999). It is important for these individuals to develop skills in communication and collaboration that are very effective and when they learn how to deal with emotional conflict management they become assets not only for the clients that they deal with but for their employers as well (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999). Traditionally individuals focused on the needs of their clients within any business but there are many more tensions coming into many fields today (Dooley & Fryxell, 1999)."

Social Change Reflected in Linguistic Change, 2005.
A discussion of different social and linguistic values found in Canadian society, with particular emphasis on "Glocal English".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses social change, reflected in different social and linguistic values. It discusses the changing Canadian English in French, in relation to "Glocal English", but also, the effect of multiculturalism, in the many languages spoken in large cities. The paper presents an interview with this in mind, indicating adjustments made by native English speakers in Toronto, without thinking, due to the many citizens who do not know English well. The paper concludes that "Glocal English" and Americanization are present, but also, this other fascinating phenomenon of social and linguistic change.
From the Paper
"Social Change Reflected in Linguistic Change. Introduction Social change indicates linguistic change, and notably, in an officially bilingual Canada whose English and French populations have seen the infusion of dozens of other languages, many of them that remain in daily use. In Metropolitan Toronto, one-half of the population was born beyond Canada and one grows accustomed to expecting that a stranger to whom one speaks will speak English as the second, third or perhaps fourth language. Another change pertains to both English and French Canada in the arrival of terms and pronunciations considered American and towards a more American idiom of Canadian English."

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, 2006.
A discussion on whether neuro-linguistic programming is an effective learning tool or an unsubstantiated practice.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), the conceptual application of information in a manner that increases a desirable outcome within the individual. Practitioners of NLP identify the process as one in which the brain's neurological pathways can be restructured in order to achieve purposeful, positive results and/or mitigate or eliminate the presence of undesirable or otherwise unwanted results created through neurological stimuli. This paper identifies these problems in the research methodology and the basic fundamental premise of NLP as a means of demonstrating that neuro-linguistic programming is not appropriately substantiated within the research.

Linguistic Profiling, 2007.
This paper discusses linguistic profiling and its damaging ramifications.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper defines linguistic profiling as the act of determining the characteristics of one's socioeconomic status and/or race based on the way one uses language. The paper examines Dr. John Baugh's study that shows how when a voice sounds African-American or Mexican-American, discriminatory action is likely to follow. The paper discusses how potential employers, mortgage service providers, real estate agents and many other service providing individuals and companies use stereotyping judgments based on linguistic profiling.
From the Paper
"The term, "linguistic profiling," was invented by the Margaret Bush Wilson Professor and Director of African American Studies in Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. John Baugh. His study indicated that when a voice sounds African-American or Mexican-American, discriminatory action is likely to follow (Rice, 2006). Baugh conducted routine analysis of the interactions of various groups, individuals, and aspects of communication to determine much of the disadvantages and dangers of linguistic profiling. The abundance of dangers and disadvantages was anything but lacking. There proved to be downsides in every regard."

Inner Conflicts of Heroes, 2001.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and discuss the inner conflicts of the heroes in "Yvain, or the Knight with the Lion" by Cretien De Troyes, and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" by an unknown author.
1,600 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how Yvain's conflict is that he is in love with the wife of a knight he killed in retaliation for a slight to one of his fellow knights. This is a major conflict in the story, as he tries to prove his undying love to her. Gawain faces a similar conflict when he must choose between the wife of his friend, or dishonoring his host.
From the Paper
"Troyes says this about heroes in the story. "There is a great difference between a coward and a hero; for the coward seated beside the fire talks loudly about himself, holding all the rest as fools, and thinking that no one knows his real character. A hero would be distressed at hearing his prowess related by some one else."
Many critics call Yvain the "perfect knight," because he does not evolve during the story with the lion, but is a model knight from the beginning of the story. He embodies all the knightly traits: compassion, strength, honor, courage, military knowledge, and "true of heart" (Sanderson). He is certainly a hero, and a model knight, but he still faces his own inner conflicts and trials during the story."
