Abstract
This paper discusses how, in spite of significant under reporting of the role of Jewish women within the creation, formation, and continuance of the Jewish community, these persons are highly active both within the formalized religious structure and the informal socio-cultural communities affiliated with a given synagogue. This paper demonstrates the impact and the role of the woman within the Jewish communities in North America, with an emphasis on the Conservative Jewish community and comparing and contrasting differences between Jewish women within Canada and North America.
From the Paper
"Women within the Jewish community are accorded rights and privileges that are rarely found within other theologically-oriented communities, such as a matrilineal line of integration into the faith and the ability to own property and acquire protection under the sanctity of law. Yet despite these obvious distinctions from the majority of the world's major religions, women within the Jewish community tend to face overt and understated forms of segregation in terms of the interpretation of their actions. Through extension, this understatement of their role in the community can be interpreted as purposeful or accidental devaluation. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the position of Muslim women are defined by their genitalia, not by their faith; Jewish women are seen as holier beings because they are created more in the essence of God than men. The author points out that, in the Orthodox Jewish and conservative Muslim faith communities, the role of the woman is that of an enabler---to please and submit to her husband and to do whatever it is that men want. The paper states that Orthodox Jewish women and Muslim women are not allowed direct participation, like men, at their place of formal worship and are restricted in the manner in which they may dress in public.
From the Paper
"Divorce is not a too uncommon happening in Muslim society. Divorce taken by a man is called Talaq, and it is the most common form of separation. The most common type of divorce by a Muslim man is a single repudiation after waiting for 3 to 4 months to make sure that his wife is not pregnant. The most uncommon and rarely practiced form of divorce is three successful repudiations in three months. "The triple repudiation, which is the utterance of the talaq three times in succession without the three-month waiting period, is technically legal." Unlike Orthodox Jewish women, Muslim women can initiate a divorce. Divorce initiated by the wife is called khul', and even though it is technically possible, this form of divorce has not been used as often as the divorce of the male. Khul' has not been used as often as talaq because more often than not, women haven't been informed of the possibility."

Canada, Mexico & the U.S.A., 2006.
A discussion regarding government effectiveness and accessibility in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.

Abstract
This paper asserts that there is a fundamental lack of government effectiveness and accessibility in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, that does not promote democratic practices for the good of the citizenry, and in fact undermines them. This paper discusses that in his Gettysburg Address in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln defined the two essential principles of democracy as "that government of the people, by the people, for the people...dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." It further discusses the statement that equality refers to the social and philosophical perception of people as inherently persons of worth.

Abstract
Healthcare reform has been a topic of debate for many years in America. Often, American politicians look to their neighbors to the north and ally across the Atlantic for both inspiration and warning of what healthcare could become. This paper provides an overview of American, Canadian and British healthcare systems. It details the pros and cons for each system and, in the end, discusses which is most effective for its citizens, as well as which system is most common throughout the world.

From the Paper
"Great Britain's National Health Service (NHS) is a publicly funded healthcare system that was created by Clement Attlee's labor government, in 1948 ("NHS history", n.d.). The NHS provides most of the healthcare services for citizens in the UK, which includes general practitioner services, emergency services, long-term healthcare, and dentistry. The NHS not only pays for healthcare expenses, but it also employs the doctors and nurses that provide these services, as well as runs the hospitals and clinics, which is in stark contrast to most of Continental Europe ("National Health Service", 2005)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how climate governs the entire ecological structure of the planet earth. The author examines how climate, in relation to the topography and latitudinal location, determines the vegetative types, the hydrology, soil, agriculture and various human activities.
From the Paper
?Climate represents a long term average of various weather features such as temperature and precipitation. The World Meteorological Organization uses 30-year averages to define climatological "normals" for these various features. Climate determines how resources such as water and vegetation are distributed and, until the onset of technology, climate also determined where people lived and worked. Many factors, such as topography, proximity to large bodies of water, and latitude affect a particular location's long-term climate. It is important to note that because a region's climatology is a 30-year average, significant year to year variability is likely. For example, a particular location may have a dry, warm winter one year and a record snowfall the next year.?

The Jewish Community within the USA, 2008.
This paper discusses the three waves of Jewiss immigrants to the U.S.A. and looks at the Jewish community as one of the strongest and most important ethnic-religious communities in America.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that understanding America is directly linked to understanding its mosaic of ethnic, religious and racial groups living and working together. The writer discusses that one of the most important groups is the Jewish community, which has made enormous contributions to the development and evolution of America. The writer looks at the three separate waves of Jewish immigrants to the U.S.A. and studies the modern Jewish community in the U.S.A. The writer concludes that the particularity of the Jewish community is the result of the interaction between the informal environment, i.e. family, and the formal, i.e. the rabbi and synagogue, as well as the community's tie to Israel, and its educational, political and social values.
From the Paper
"However, in order to be able to provide a pertinent answer, one must begin with the conclusion, i.e. that Jewish history, is, similarly to American history itself, a succession of waves of migration. Each of these three waves of immigrants came to America in different periods, established in different regions of the country and was contributed to the profile of American Jewry in its own way. The first wave of immigrants was made up of Sephardic merchants who came from Brazil and settled in New Amsterdam; other immigrants from Spain and Portugal followed towards the middle of the seventeenth century and settled in Newport, New Amsterdam, Philadelphia, Georgia and South Carolina. The second wave of settlers consisted of German Jews who came to America in the 1840s in search of economic and social opportunity. They left Germany because of persecution and the failure of their reform movements. The final wave lasted from the 1880s to 1924 and consisted of Eastern European Jews emigrating from Russia, Austria-Hungary and Romania."

Abstract
This paper discusses how prior to World War I, the traditional Canadian view of women wasn't much different than what it had been in most of the patriarchal world since time immemorial. Attitudes to changes in the political and social status of women were typically fearful and conservative, with women being regarded as inferior, even as 'non-persons'. It took many long years of struggle before old ideas were overthrown, and women were accepted as 'persons' in the public realm, but the issues were eventually resolved peacefully.

The Compassionate Conservative Movement, 2008.
An analysis of Ronald Reagan's policies and their relationship to the compassionate conservative movement.

Abstract
This paper explores the ideas and aims of President Ronald Reagan. It discusses the concept of him as the originator of the compassionate conservative movement. The paper then aims to demonstrate that while Reagan's ideas were appealing to the general population of the United States, they did not have inherent validity when contrasted against the methods that Reagan and his Administration used to administer reforms under compassionate conservatives. It suggests that, in fact, adherence to Reagan's ideas of compassion penalized the average American citizen. The paper provides the writer's opinion on the issue.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Idea of the Compassionate Conservative
The Execution of Compassionate Conservative Policies
Analysis of the Ideas of Compassionate Conservatism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Reagan's party platform of Compassionate Conservatism was founded on ideas with significant appeal for the average American. It is easy to believe that exploitation occurs: every time I pay my taxes, I regret that I have no real control over how my taxpayers spend the money I have worked so hard to earn. The message of a politician who would work in my best interests to eliminate wasteful spending and to keep my money out of the hands who have done nothing to earn it is undeniably appealing. There is nothing inherently wrong with the idea of a Compassionate Conservative. The problem is in the execution: Reagan's policies sounded phenomenal but did little beyond endorsing strategies to improve the quality of life of the upper class and businesses, while penalizing persons who needed assistance. In my opinion, this does not demonstrate compassion. This demonstrates a keen eye for salesmanship."

Jane Austen as a Conservative Writer, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" and "Pride and Prejudice" in an attempt to argue that Austen is most definitely not a conservative writer. Concentrating specifically on her portrayal of women, the family, marriage, and her subtle criticism of patriarchal systems, the aim is to demonstrate how Austen uses conservative conventions to conceal her ambiguous feelings toward social customs. It contrasts surface meanings of the text with close critical readings of selected characters and events in order to show the subtlety Austen adopts to present social criticism. The characters of Fanny Price of "Mansfield Park" and Elizabeth Bennet of "Pride and Prejudice" are of particular importance to this argument.
From the Paper
"On the surface, Mansfield Park appears to be a more conservative novel than Pride and Prejudice. The heroine, Fanny Price, seems to be an ideal conduct-book heroine, as she is what Hester Chapone terms 'private and domestic.' She is described in the novel as 'the perfect model of a woman' mainly because her emotional responses remain internalised and private as opposed to the open and frank mannered Elizabeth. Considering the contrast between the heroines of Mansfield Park and Pride and Prejudice, indeed, Fanny undoubtedly appears to be a more conservative character than Elizabeth. However, a closer reading of the text leaves Mansfield Park as the more radical of the two. Mansfield Park was the first of Austen's novels to be written and published in her maturity."

The 1964 Conservative Defeat, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the factors leading to the defeat of the Conservative government in the 1964 election, concentrating on economic and political reasons. It looks in detail at the economic decline that Britain was experiencing, the role of the trade unions within this and the effect of the rejection of the application to join the European Community. It then considers the political factors, including scandals such as the Vassal and Profumo affairs, the resignation of Macmillan, and the leadership contest which ended in the succession by Douglas-Home. The paper concludes that given the history of the parliament, it was unsurprising that the Conservatives were defeated in the election, perhaps exacerbated by the choice of new leader following the resignation of Macmillan.
From the Paper
"In 1961 Profumo, the Minister of War, began an affair with Christine Keeler, who was also involved with a Russian diplomat. When discovered, there was speculation about whether national security had been threatened: these rumours did not cease, and eventually, in March 1963, formal questions were raised in the Commons, to which the response was a personal statement read by Profumo. The statement was mostly true, with the exception of a claim that there had been no personal impropriety, and it was accepted by the MPs, although the press, continued with their speculations. Eventually in June 1963, Profumo admitted to the House that he had lied, and resigned his seat. "

Abstract
Advertizing is a major marketing tool for organizations to sell their products and services. The paper argues that in conservative societies however, it is virtually impossible to convey message in an attractive way. This paper discusses the Saudi society and the approaches to advertizing as compared to the United States. It discusses advertizing mediums such as television commerical and the internet and shows how messages put across to the consumer differ between the two countries, based on cultural demands.
From the Paper
"Extensive efforts are made to keep the society segregated so that no mingling or socializing for the two is possible. As a result, educational institutes are segregated and the workplace does not employ women much. There are strict laws regarding women covering themselves, traveling with a male relative and driving. Moreover, media, along with the Internet, is heavily censored for any trace of irreligious content. However counteracting this heavy religious influence is the compulsory economic development that Saudi Arabia cannot avoid or stop."

Abstract
The decades of the 1960s and 1970s were turbulent years in North American society. The rise of the counter culture feminism and of various historically marginalized interest groups changed the dynamic of political and social debate in a way that remains with us yet. This paper explores the reasons why a conservative reaction to the liberalism of the aforementioned two decades sprang up in the 1980s and in the 1990s, especially in the United States.

America's Liberal and Conservative Ideologies, 2000.
An examination of the ideologies of Americans and how they can be divided into 'liberal' and 'conservative'.

Abstract
This paper discusses the notion of ideologies as consistent and systematic ways of understanding the social, political and economic world and looks at where they originate. Americans are usually seen as holding two main ideologies: liberalism and conservatism. The paper looks at research studies in order to determine how personal ideologies of Americans determine which category a person belongs to.
From the Paper
"A person?s values, or the framework through which s/he perceives the world, are developed differently for each individual through the socialization process. The process of socialization is the means by which people acquire their values through an interplay of cultural factors, knowledge, experience and ideology. The family, peers are early and pervasive agents in the socialization process, with later influences coming from neighbors, working colleagues, and the mass media. In the politics of everyday life, sources of social differentiation permeate virtually every aspect of existence."
