Abstract
As a way to begin to understand how Canadian society is structured aa a racist/sexist patriarchy, it is crucial to find examples of these relations in the 'everyday' experiences of social life. This paper will argue that it is easier for the middle and upper classes to deny racism, because they may not be able to identify the way gender and ethnicity are woven through class dynamics. This paper will consider in more detail this notion of the "everyday" as a site for understanding the relations of racism, of sexism, and of class privilege in a Canadian context. This will raise the abstract idea of the "everyday" into concrete forms and particular relations that have a materialist base in society. This paper will also argue that class privilege covers much of the racist and sexist assumptions so that it is difficult for certain classes to identify the whiteness of domination as an economic structure, because they are so implicated in all that the class privilege provides.

Abstract
This paper answers two questions on racial and ethnic relations. Firstly, whether assimilation is realistic or desirable for immigrant groups who have arrived since 1965. Secondly the rank and order of race, ethnicity, nativity, class are analyzed in terms of their relative importance in shaping one's life chances, in relation to American society.
From the Paper
"This is a truth that should certainly have been learned in a society like that of the United States, where everyone but the Indians came from somewhere else and had to become accepted in the society that was being built (only the Indians were already here, and even they migrated at some point in the past across the Bering Strait). Yet, American society has continued to treat each new group that has arrived as interlopers. Discrimination has been used against nearly every new group--the Irish, the Jewish, Catholics, Hispanics, and blacks, among others. Group after group has managed to become ..."

Race and Ethnicity in Canadian Society, 2005.

Abstract
The paper maintains that there is a tendency among white people living in Canada to downplay or ignore the relevance and importance of race or ethnicity, or even to be utterly unaware of it. However, people who belong to minorities in Canada contend that race and ethnicity have a powerful influence over social interaction and involvement within Canadian society. This paper shows that the people belonging to minorities are in fact correct: race and ethnicity do, to a large extent, determine social interaction and involvement within Canadian society.

Ethnic and Racial Segregation in Canadian Cities, 2006.

Abstract
Canada's large metropolitan areas, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, are increasingly defined by the ethnic and racial heterogeneity of their populations. As a result of increased immigration in the post-World War II period, the number of peoples with backgrounds other than English and French has swelled the population of the country. In many respects the experience of Canadian cities in this regard mirrors that of North American cities in general. It is in this context that this essay examines the phenomenon of ethnic and racial segregation in Canadian cities.

Abstract
The ?Civil Rights Movement? transformed the nation with milestones and events that are still relevant in our lives today. This paper looks at events, including the ?Harlem Renaissance,? ?Brown v. Board of Education,? the ?Freedom Ride and Sit-In Campaign,? the ?March on Washington,? and historical figures, such as Rosa Parks, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as the emergence of the N.A.A.C.P. to show how they transformed the American nation. Beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, race relations between African-Americans and other ethnic groups have steadily improved, climaxing in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and progressively improving since then.
From the Paper
"The literature and art of the ?Harlem Renaissance? of the 1920?s and 1930?s contributed to the recognition of African-American as creative contributors to American culture. According to Professor Huggins, author of the book Harlem Renaissance, the artists of the ?Harlem Renaissance? announced a new day in which African-Americans would assume their rightful place in American society (Harlem jacket). Huggins also believed that without such great men as Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, and W.E.B. DuBois we would have almost no specific notice of the art from the Harlem writers (Huggins10). Diesman reports that an ?unprecedented outburst of creativity among African-Americans occurred in all fields of art? (1). The emergence of the artist and philosopher changed the African American community, having developed a surge of political and social awareness among African-Americans (Huggins 56)."

Abstract
The paper discusses Steven Steinberg's book and shows how the book explores the vexing problem of why certain ethnic groups ?succeed? in America, that is, that members of certain groups tend to realize the American dream of economic and social mobility, and other ethnic groups do not.
From the Paper
"The myths of Black inferiority forced him into a necessary pattern of perpetual resistance to the cultural norms he was immersed in. This necessity for constant resistance to overt racism is one of the reasons, according to Steinberg, African-Americans have had such difficulty in assimilating into the American narrative of success. However, Douglass is also intent in showing, despite the myths of inferiority, his essential humanity and striving for enlightenment also shone forth in the depths of despondency and oppression. ?Though conscious of the difficulty of learning without a teacher, I set out with high hope, and a fixed purpose, at whatever cost of trouble, to learn how to read,? Douglass says. (1896)"

Canadian Cinema, 2007.
This paper discusses the themes of identity, race and ethnicity in Canadian cinema.
2,166 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that identity is tied to the construction of ethnicity in the art of 20th century Canadian cinema and notions of modern Canadian ethnicity are created through the vehicle of art. Young Canadians must come to grips with their senses of themselves as both Canadian and a member of a particular ethnic group, or a hyphenated ethnic group. The writer maintains that art, although an imperfect medium, becomes a fertile but problematic place to engage in self-analysis and a search for national identity. The writer concludes that what is interesting in the films mentioned in the paper, however, is not their final thesis, or the characters' ultimate destination, but the willingness to struggle with complicated notions of ethnicity and identity in art, even while the postmodern and self-referential aesthetic of the films ultimately suggests that to find a final answer is impossible.
From the Paper
"This theme is most potently evidenced in Egoyan's 1993 film entitled "Calendar." In this self-referential film, Egoyan casts himself in the role of an Armenian-Canadian filmmaker, who has been commissioned to produce a series of artfully staged pictures of churches for a touristy calendar. These photographs are, the film suggests, a manufactured art, and are meant to embody the way that an 'other' ethnicity is often rendered palatable to a mainstream audience in Canada, as a commodity rather than as a living, evolving product of humanity. Buildings, rather than human beings are the focus of the photographer's frame, and the cinematic techniques of the film force the viewer to see the churches through his orderly, artistic gaze as he renders Armenia beautiful, static, and unchanging."

Abstract
This paper discusses the fundamental and historical conflicts between the majority Malays and the minority Chinese communities in the Malaysian peninsula. The paper presents a history of the region, with a focus on political issues. The paper examines the discrimination of the minority communities in Malaysia. The paper explores ethnic relations in Malaysia with regard to economics, religion, and education.
From the Paper
"Some Chinese traders had settled in the country of Malaysia for centuries before other Chinese ethnic groups joined them in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although there has been an intermixture among the Chinese and other political minorities and the Malays as the political majority population, the Chinese have managed to preserve their cultural distinctions from the Malays, basically through religion and language. The Chinese use the Chinese language as distinguished from the Malay language and practice Buddhism, as differentiated from the Malays who are Muslim. The Chinese are grouped into the rural poor sector and the urban commercial sector, the latter being more economically capable and productive than the majority Malays. There have been these fundamental and historical conflicts between the majority Malays and the minority Chinese communities. The British ruled the peninsula and Singapore through the Chartered Company in Sabah and the Brooke family in Sarawak The Japanese Occupation made these conflicts worse during the last World War, during which the Malays sided with the Japanese against the British colonial rule and the Japanese mistreated the Chinese, who rebelled against them and formed the Malayan People?s Anti-Japanese Army or MPAJA. When Japan lost the War, the MPAJA took violent actions in establishing control over the peninsula. The Chinese rural poor sector supported it and its succeeding organization, the Malayan Communist Party or MCP, founded in 1948."

Regional and Ethnic Identities, 2006.
This paper discusses regional and ethnic identities in Canadian short stories.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer studies the theme of regional and ethnic identities that are found in Canadian short stories. The writer examines three different stories for this study. The first story discussed in this regard is 'Death by Landscape' by Margaret Atwood. The second story is 'The Loons' by Margaret Laurence and finally, the writer looks at the story 'The Boat' by Alister MacLeod.
From the Paper
"Identity is a common theme in many forms of literature. However in Canadian short stories the idea of the multiple identities is an important theme. In many cases characters show different regional and ethnic identities in the same story. The short stories that will be used to prove this point are "Death by Landscape" by Margaret Atwood, "The Loons" by Margaret Laurence and "The Boat" by Alistair MacLeod". Each of these stories takes place in a different region of Canada and each of these regions has a unique ethnic composition."

»

Abstract
This nine page paper argues that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not anti-democratic, for it serves the vital purpose of safeguarding the political, social, economic, and religious rights and liberties of all Canadians, regardless of their ethnic heritage. The paper describes the history of the Charter of Rights and discusses the similarities between it and the Canadian Bill of Rights that existed prior to 1982.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: An Analysis of Principles The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not anti-democratic, for it serves the vital purpose of safeguarding the political, social, economic, and religious rights and liberties of all Canadians, regardless of their ethnic heritage. Despite the claims of its critics that it is anti-democratic, most of its content is not new or deserving of criticism, for before the Charter was put into effect in 1982, the Canadian Bill of Rights and related laws already protected many of the rights and freedoms that have been incorporated together into the Charter.

Japanese Canadians in Canada, 2004.
The paper examines the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II.

Abstract
The paper contends that the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II was deplorable. The paper then discusses how the Canadian government acknowledged the racist character of these policies in 1988 and offered redress to the Japanese Canadian population.
From the Paper
"Japanese Canadians during the Second World War were forced to contend with a decades-old torrent of racial discrimination that culminated in their internment and forced labor by the Canadian government. The treatment of Japanese Canadians during this period appears particularly cruel-even sinister-when one considers that of the Canadians evacuated from the Pacific Coast of Canada, most were Canadian-born and naturalized Canadian citizens."

Racial and Ethnic Health Care Disparities, 2004.
Questions whether racial and ethnic health care disparities are really caused by insurance discrepancies and other patient-related factors.
1,590 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses potential causes of racial and ethnic health care disparities. It explores the antithesis that disparities are not insurance-related or related to a patient's minority status. The paper rejects this antithesis and then asserts and provides evidence that, indeed, racial and ethnic health care disparities are due to insurance-related factors and the minority status of the patient.
From the Paper
"Almost all industrialized countries in the world implement a health care system that is run on a national level thus providing health care equally to all citizens of the country. The United States is unique in that respect. The U.S. does not provide a federally run health care plan, and as a result, equality of health care among all citizens is not assured. In fact, an individual?s access to health care often is correlated to one?s socio-economic status, and in many situations, to one?s race or ethnic background (Luhman 2002). As of 2002, over 400 clinical studies on racial and ethnic health care have provided evidence showing that across almost all medical areas, minorities generally receive a lower quality of care than do whites (Late 2003)."
