Abstract
Some Manitoba politicians have argued that the province's average resident is economically better off than his or her British Columbia counterpart. At first glance, this might appear to be unusual in light of the understanding that British Columbia is a much larger province in terms of population and has achieved strong growth during recent years as a result of a robust market for the province's natural resource exports. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine this particular claim. An assessment will be made of the merits of this claim using primary data sources, most notably the information that is provided by Statistics Canada.

Abstract
This paper explains that Dangarembga's novel "Nervous Conditions" shows the inequities created by a colonial government and by the perpetuation of colonialism through class division and gender dominance. The author points out that this novel is unique in terms of its character development and its relation to the personal experience of the author, an affluent native woman of Zimbabwe. The paper relates that the women of this book represent the internal societal struggles of gender inequality and patriarchal domination. The author underscores that the novel analyzes the impact of this gender inequality on the physical attributes of women by emphasizing that the road to acceptance in a strict, patriarchal society is through physical ailments.
Table of Contents:
"Nervous Conditions"- A Brief
"Nervous Conditions" - Theoretical Implications
"Nervous Conditions" - Analysis and Conclusions
From the Paper
"Nyasha's sage advice also portrays the hardships of recognizing the atrocities of colonial inequality. The author argues that the issue of colonialism is not observable cosmetically. Rather, internal examination of the family unit and gender interaction is necessary in noticing the elements left behind by colonial rule. Class segregation is obvious in Tambu's mistreatment during her educational career, but specific residual impacts of patriarchal colonialism is much more obvious through the role of the uncle, Babamukuru."

From the Paper
"In rural areas most of the housing is organized into villages, with houses built close together and usually made from sun-dried brick (Encyclopedia Britannica 49). In the urban areas of China houses are made up of more traditional materials. However, many of the houses date back to the 30?s and 40?s. In urban areas, there is generally a major housing shortage. This has resulted in the building of apartment-style buildings, but where living spaces are extremely small. In other cases, many families live in a house that would generally be considered as big enough for only one family (Encyclopedia Britannica 49)."

Abstract
This paper details the poverty and poor working conditions in England during the Victorian Era and how these conditions had a profoundly negative impact on the health and well-being of the working class. The paper describes the long hours, hazardous working conditions, and low pay that sentenced the people of the working class to a life of inadequate food, housing, medical care, and education. The paper also points out how the Victorian Era is a disturbing example of the consequences of substandard working condition.
From the Paper
"Poor working conditions had a tremendous and negative effect on the health of the working class in England in the Victorian Age. The Victorian Age (the nineteenth century) saw the rise of a large working class, where women, men, and children are spent long hours in employment in substandard conditions. Working conditions were poor, and physical mistreatment was common, as were long hours, unhealthy conditions, and poor wages. As a direct result of these poor conditions and ensuing poverty, the health of the average working class Victorian was poor. Nutrition and hygiene were poor, and disease was common, as was malnutrition."

Prison Conditions, 2002.
An examination of the conditions in prisons that need to be monitored on a constant basis.

Abstract
This paper looks at two conditions which need constant supervision from prison authorities and human rights groups with regard to prisons in the U.S. One is whether humane conditions are provided and the other is concerned with the degree of rehabilitation that prisons facilitate. The paper discusses what can be done to improve conditions and prevent previous inmates returning to prisons.
From the Paper
"According to Human Rights Watch, prisoners suffer from physical mistreatment, excessive disciplinary measures, intolerable physical conditions and inadequate medical and mental health care. Prisons are severely overcrowded and do not have adequate staffing. Many local jails are unsafe, vermin-infested and lack areas where inmates can get exercise or fresh air. Violence by inmates and guards is common. Mentally ill inmates who comprise between six and fourteen percent of the incarcerated population do not receive adequate monitoring and treatment. Private prisons operate without sufficient control and oversight from public correctional authorities. Both prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse and sexual abuse of women is a huge problem. Amnesty International reported that sexual abuse of female inmates is rampant but said many cases go unreported for fear of retaliation. Amnesty reported an undetermined number of cases of prison guards who grope women during daily searches and who rape women. Amnesty also found some prison guards sell female prisoners as sex slaves to male inmates."

Working Conditions at the Personal Products Company, 2006.
An analysis of whether a criminal action suit against the Personal Products Plc company might be possible because of the company's hazardous working conditions.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the working environment and conditions at a company in Britain to determine whether the company can be held responsible for the fire that erupted on its premises. The paper looks at whether a criminal action suit can proceed against the Personal Products Plc company on behalf of the 261 people that died and the many others that were severely injured in the fire. The paper argues that, while company directors can very often act with impunity when it comes to the safety of their employees, in the case of Personal Products Plc, this may not be the case since the company's pattern of negligent attitudes regarding employee safety is quite obvious and indicative of a cavalier attitude toward corporate responsibility. The paper goes on to look at the company's insurance records to see just who might be held responsible for all of the damage caused by the fire and concludes that, ultimately, the chairman and the directors are responsible for the conditions at Perfect Products Plc with the accountants and the insurance company having only secondary responsibility.
From the Paper
"While it is not a question of equal pay, the decision of the HRM Manager to lay off 300 workers, predominantly mainly over-50 and female workers brings to mind intimations of unequal pay. In fact, there may be a cause of action, depending on the conditions of working because the Equal Pay Act of 1970 makes it "unlawful for employers to discriminate between men and women in terms of their pay and contractual conditions" (womenandequalityunit Web site, 2005). It is possible that the move violated contractual conditions; the Act applies to both genders, and the women might find a cause of action because of the necessity of comparing their contractual treatment not with that of other women, but with that of men. If they were laid off at greater rates than men were, then it is likely they have a cause of action against Perfect Products plc on that basis."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Emile Zola's book, "Germinal", and Andrei Konchalovsky's movie, "The Inner Circle", and the message that both deliver regarding the social conditions before and after the Communist era. The paper shows how both the novel and the film reveal that conditions for the common man were oppressive, both prior to the establishment of Communism and after its establishment.
From the Paper
"Emile Zola's book, "Germinal", depicts a society that existed before and during the time that the influence of communism was felt in Europe and the Soviet Union. "Germinal" depicts labor problems among coal miners in late nineteenth century France. Told through the eyes of a newcomer to the mines, Etienne Lantier, Zola's book depicts the lead character's struggles to improve working conditions by organizing worker resistance. Etienne organizes a strike that has an unpredictable and tragic outcome (Zola)."

Abstract
Labor conditions have been at the center of debate for many generations. The Fair Labor Act indemnified the rights of American workers and the responsibilities of employers. However, there are still certain issues that face the current labor force in each of the various industries. This discussion explores the ways in which labor conditions can be improved. It discusses a technical plan, management plan, capabilities, and costs associated with this improvement.
From the Paper

Training and educational programs will aid in employee advancement and also guarantee that the company is operating at maximum capabilities. Much of the training that will be available to employees will be conducted by the company to improve the skills of the labor force. The firm will reimburse tuition costs for employers seeking undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees and career training."

"Nervous Conditions", 2002.
A book report on Tsitsi Dangarembga?s ?Nervous Conditions?.

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the novel "Nervous Conditions" by writer Tsitsi Danarembga which tells of Tambu and her struggle with her true identity after she is pressured to take on the values of the English who colonized her country. This paper discusses the major theme of the book - that being true to ones own culture is the only possibility for all people, with anything else resulting in failure. The paper explores the issue of "being English" in relation to the events of the novel.
From the Paper
"As well as telling her own story, Tambu also tells the story of her sister Nyasha. Nyasha?s story is equally important at showing the problems that occur in attempting to become English. Nyasha can be seen as the opposite of Tambu. Tambu deals with the situation by not letting go of her African culture. In contrast, Nyasha seems to willingly accept the English culture and reject her own African culture. The danger of this is shown by the fact that Nyasha develops anorexia. This becomes an important symbol in the novel, illustrating the major theme. Firstly, Nyasha becoming anorexic can be seen as a symbol of the dangers of ignoring our real identity. It is not only that Nyasha has the disease that shows the dangers, it is also relevant what the disease represents.
Anorexia is a disease associated with body image where the individual attempts to improve their looks on the surface. The reality is though, that this disease has a negative impact on the human body, actually worsening the individual?s appearance. This is similar to Nyasha?s rejection of her identity. On the surface she chooses to act according to the English culture, but underneath she remains African, simply denying the reality of her culture. Just as anorexia does harm, so does this rejection by Nyasha."

Abstract
In this review of Tsitsi Dangarembga's "Nervous Conditions", the author of the paper shows how the theme of African identity and culture is woven through the storyline. The paper investigates the importance of the narrators and women in the book, themes and the relevance of the story.
From the Paper
"With any story, the meaning within the story does not have impact unless we care about the character. Tambu is the main character that we care about in the novel. She engages the reader into the story because we want to know about her, we want to know about her struggle and we want to know why that struggle has occurred. The only way to learn of that struggle, is to learn about the culture and so the reader, while reading the novel, attempts to understand the culture. "

Material Conditions in Hong Kong, 2007.
This paper discusses poor strategic planning and declining material conditions in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Hong Kong has had one of the most diverse political histories in East Asia. The writer notes that one of the most dramatic political developments in Hong Kong was its occupation by the Japanese during the Second World War. The writer examines why material and social conditions in Hong Kong declined so quickly during the Japanese occupation. The writer argues that these declines appeared to be the result of a Hong Kong's low strategic value and the fact that the Japanese disdain for prisoners and captive populations resulted in neglect or active brutality.
From the Paper
"On the other hand Japanese ideology could have exacerbated this problem. In particular the Japanese saw themselves as superior to people form other countries. The Japanese also had a fundamentally different conception of prisoners of war and how they should be treated."
"To a large degree it can be argued that some of the problems experienced in Hong Kong were the result of Hong Kong's low strategic priority. Mainland China seemed to be a far greater threat then Hong Kong. In particular an alliance between China and the United States seemed particularly problematic for the Japanese."

Abstract
This paper discusses the living condition of the Vietnamese during the war. The argument has three parts. The first part looks at the general feelings of uncertainty and insecurity due to the escalating conflict. The second part looks at the economic, social and environmental damage caused by the conflict. The final part looks at the independence movement.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam "War" between the United States and the Northern Vietnamese Communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh occurred between 1965-1976 (Hunt 2004). The Vietnam "War" was a very complicated and confusing time for all the parties involved. Many people could not even decide if it was a "war" or a police action. Michael H. Hunt in "The World Transformed:1945 to the Present" even explains how the Vietnam "War" was supposed to be a "limited War" (Hunt 2004: 173). One aspect of the Vietnam "War" that is often not discussed is how it impacted the living conditions of the Vietnamese during the war."

Abstract
This paper explains that home-based care is a strategy increasingly relied on by many countries adversely affected by HIV/AIDS because they have weak health systems and infrastructures and are overwhelmed by the volume of patients requiring long-term care, and yet, their sanitation and hygiene, which underpin these home care strategies, are often poor. The author uses variables such as the number of people living with HIV, GDP/Capita (US$), expenditure on health per capita (US$), access to improved water resources in urban and rural areas, access to better sanitation facilities in urban and rural areas, prevalence of contraceptives (which serves to explain the sexual behavior) and the number of new tuberculosis (TB) cases detected in a year. The paper is based on a statistical regression procedure including ANOVA on all the selected variables with the number of people with HIV and tuberculosis living in 70 countries; the data is reported by organizing these countries into global regional zones.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"While in many African countries, everyone is vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, the people worst affected are those living in poor, over crowded areas that lack adequate sanitary facilities, water supply, and medical care. Having a potable water supply and latrine close to one's home is a basic human right. Access to adequate water supply and sanitation facilities helps people to live healthier lives, free from the risks of water and sanitation related illnesses and affords them the dignity that is due to them being human being. For a person living with HIV/AIDS access to water and sanitation facilities is especially critical. The risks posed by poor facilities can be fatal. It is an undeniable fact that poverty goes hand-in-hand with inadequate hygiene and sanitation facilities and people living in over crowded slum areas severely face this inadequacy. It is observed from the data obtained from WHO that the incidence of HIV is positively correlated with absolute poverty (in terms of income <$1) by a factor 0.25 and with the Gini coefficient by a factor of 0.21. In this study, data have been analyzed on various variables and has made an effort to explain the correlations and trends for each of the regions classified by the WHO."
