Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts the political cultures of the Canada and the United States, arguing that despite debates over the apparent differences in the political cultures of the two countries, the underlying corporate domination of political relations in both societies suggests that apart from superficial political differences the political cultures of Canada and the United States are likely to increasingly converge in the near future.
From the Paper
"A Comparison and Contrast of the Political Cultures in Canada and the United States Introduction Canada and the United States are two liberal democracies that, although they share a common continent and have had extremely close social, political, economic and cultural relationships for generations, possess radically distinct political cultures."

Abstract
The cultural differences in the United States and Canada began after the American Revolutionary period. A plethora of theories exist regarding the rationale behind the variances in culture. Some theorists contend that the Vietnam War created a vast gap between the cultures, while others suggest that the ideologies of rebellion and peace forced the two cultures to become opposing neighbors. Religion, politics and national ideologies encompass the realm of cultural differences that exist between the countries. this paper examines the similarities between Canadian and American cultures that exist despite the many differences that also exist between the cultures.

Canada and The United States, 2002.
A comparison of the histories and cultures of these two North American countries.

Abstract
Canada and the United States have followed cultural paths that have sometimes intersected but which have remained separate on account of historical, philosophical, geo-political and economic differences which have become cultural and emotive, over time. The development of two cultures within a single continent and sharing a very long border indeed, points to the importance of exploring past distinctions, some of which are apt to continue having their bearing upon the future. As the concluding sections of this paper explain, Canadian distinctiveness is in large part carried on in a comparative way, in relation to a much stronger nation which is perceived as an external and sometimes threatening power.

Abstract
This paper explains that over 150 breeds of dogs and 300 breeds of cats are found in the United States and Canada. Many people love their pets even if they are not a pure-breed animal. In fact, many mixed dogs in American households are equal to the number found in Canada. Pets are, in most cases, our furry friends, but they are also often used in the lives of the owners to help them with different illnesses or work. The paper discusses the important role that dogs and cats play in the emotional and physical well being of their owners and how they are so highly valued in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"Ever have a dog or cat as a child? Remember all the love and affection the pet gave? Dogs and cats are special to many people. In fact, some people consider their pets as family members. Over 150 breeds of dogs and 300 breeds of cats are found in the United States and Canada. Whether it is the small white Maltese, brown and black Yorkie terrier, wolf-like Keeshunds, curly poodles, or other breeds of dogs, many people call and treat these dogs as if they were children. The same can be said of cat owners. Cat owners love their Turkish Angora..."

A comparison of the historical nature of Irish migrant settlement in the United States and Canada.

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares Irish migrant settlement in the United States and Canada in the nineteenth century. It looks at the traditional historical models for these respective settlements and suggests that they have tended to emphasize the urban nature of the American settlement and the rural nature of the Canadian one. The paper concludes, however, that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants are far more complex than these models suggest. The paper then analyzes and discusses these points.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this comparative analysis of the settlement patterns of Irish immigrants in Canada and the United States, we have seen the importance of a detailed understanding of the historical debate. In both countries, it seems that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants followed precedents established by existing immigrant populations as the Irish settlement patterns and living conditions mirrored the often rural communities in which they settled. Thus, as historians agree, it is very difficult to generalize for Irish Canadians as a whole in this regard. Given that the United States was more urbanized than Canada, the Irish immigrants in this environment were likewise more urbanized, but not more so than other immigrant groups at this time. Indeed, their settlement patterns and living conditions - often hard, and working class, in the poorer areas of cities - seemed to mirror that of other immigrants in the United States in a similar way to the Irish immigrants' settlement patterns in Canada reflecting the communities in which they lived."

Abstract
This paper explains that the healthcare systems of the United States and Canada were once both privately funded but now have an immense difference in the structure and cost of healthcare services. The author points out that the Canadian structure is available to all citizens whereas, in the U.S., accessibility is a major problem. The paper relates that the U.S. has more advanced technology as compared to Canada, which is a weakness of Canadian healthcare. The author stresses that healthcare services in the U.S. have been known to be superior because patients, who have access, can be seen immediately and surgical procedures need only a short wait; whereas, in Canada, many residents wait a long time for services, minor surgeries and regular checkups. The paper concludes that, overall, Canada has accomplished a balance between quality, cost efficiency and technology. The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"The high price of healthcare has been an ongoing crisis and has affected many Americans. Many Americans work at full-time jobs but still do not have access to health insurance because of the immense cost. Some companies offer to cover a percentage of healthcare insurance, but the employee still has to pay a large portion of out of pocket-expenses. Any citizen that owns their own business has no other choice but to pay full price for healthcare. The crisis of healthcare has had major effects on many American families. With no health coverage, one could only imagine the stress of the medical bills ..."

United States, Canada and Global Warming, 2007.
This paper compares the U.S. and Canadian policies regarding climate change.
1,553 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper outlines the anthropogenic causes of global warming, the evidence of its existence and some of the differing ways in which the U.S. and Canada are approaching the issue of climate change. The paper discusses how, while Canada appears sincere in its efforts to adhere to Kyoto Protocol requirements, it seems to be actually achieving less than the United States.
From the Paper
"The causes of global warming are many. Most notably, carbon dioxide and methane gas emissions - be they from power plants, from vehicles, from planes, or from man-made structures/installations - serve to facilitate global warming insofar as CO2 and methane gas molecules (as well as Chloroflurocarbon molecules) "trap" long-wave radiation, otherwise known as "heat", and prevent it from escaping into space. Suffice it to say, the more CO2, Chlorofluorcarbons and methane present in the atmosphere, the more global temperatures will climb (Collins, para.5 and para.8-10). All in all, the accumulation of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere and the attendant higher temperatures mean the slow deterioration of vulnerable ecosystems - such as the two Artic Poles - that are not designed to accommodate rapid temperature increase."

The United States Health Care System, 2008.
Argues for universal health care in the United States.
2,195 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that the United States is virtually the only industrialized country in the world that does not automatically give citizens the benefit of free health care, but notes that there are, however, several other types of health care options in the U.S.. The paper then describes problems with these health care options such as that they require the individual to independently pay for private health insurance or Medicare. Next, the paper relates that, in other countries such as Canada and Britain, the universal health care concept is viewed as very successful. The paper contends that when the United States government realizes that universal health care is the best option, all citizens of the U.S. will begin to live a healthier life.
From the Paper
"The quality of health care in the United States can be considered opinionated to a certain extent but the amount of money the U.S. spends in comparison to other countries is inarguably absurd. There cannot be any denial of the inflation rate of uninsured citizens. The number of Americans without health insurance is now up to 45,000,000. That is a huge increase considering that in 1990 there were 35,000,000 uninsured citizens. Being uninsured increases your chance of fatality. If a universal health care system were to come into existence, we would see far less deaths in the U.S."

Surprisingly, this topic has never lost its popularity, and still continues to be current among the sociologists, anthropologists and the statisticians particularly in Canada. The 49th Parallel divides the North American continent, Canada in the north and the United States in the south. These two countries of the New World share the world?s longest undefended border, which ranges 6379 kilometers long."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II. The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of tuition fees and then goes on to discusses the re-evaluation of tuition fees in Quebec State, Canada. According to the paper, there are three levels of tuition: Quebec resident (lowest level), out-of-province Canadian resident (tuition set to average Canadian tuition) and international tuition (highest level).
From the Paper
"In The Gazette, "Ontario gets it right on tuition fees" article reveals that "in Quebec, undergraduate tuition hasn't changed since 1994, and will not change before the next election", Jean Charest's government has pledged. The article shows an opposite position, as "the basic undergrad fee of $1,851 should have climbed past $2,300 merely to account for inflation, to say nothing of universities' capital costs, maintenance needs, enrollment increases, and so on". In Quebec, the government states not having new money for universities, which are suffering from years of underfunding. In Quebec alone, universities estimate the annual shortfall to be $350 million. As a result, Quebec and other provinces want both low tuition fees and more funding from Ottawa, so that students will not be driven away by raising tuition fees. "

Abstract
Using Ben Carniol's "Case Critical: Challenging Social Services in Canada", as well as Larry Jonston's "Politics: An Introduction to the Modern Democratic State," this paper discusses the welfare state in Canada, the development of it and its shrinkage within the past one hundred year. The author shows evidence that the modern welfare state is shrinking in today's society because of the advancement of right wing politics and the decline of Keynesianism as a solution to the problems of the people of Canada.
From the Paper
"It is important to remember that Canada did not invent the welfare state, it was merely adopted during the development of the country. It was the adoption of these welfare state ideals, that has lead Canada to develop things such as free public Health Care, Employment Insurance, public education and welfare itself. Ben Carniol (2000) explains the welfare states creation in the terms of industrial England where it first surfaced in the modern form. The creation of a welfare state began when the capitalistic owners of large factories in England were beginning to become disgruntled by the constant visitation of representatives from the numerous charitable organizations that had formed in the country to help the poor and underprivileged survive in the new society that saw the factory owners compete for profits at the expense of the men who worked for them under sometimes extremely harsh conditions. It was agreed upon that some sort of central organization for the collection of charity from the owners would be necessary to ensure that the money was going to charity and not people who had begun cheating the system in order to make money for themselves."
