Abstract
This paper reviews the effect that economic change has had on the Canadian family structure as a unit. This paper also discusses the influence that the sexual revolution had on this issue which lead to more women starting to work outside of the family home.
From the Paper
"Since the 1960s, a change has been occurring in the structure of the family in Canada. This change began with a rising divorce rate in conjunction with economic change when "increased work responsibility of women also tended to bring about changes in the structure of the family" (Vago, 1989, p. 132). Causative and contributing variables have operated in a complex interaction. An escalation in divorce rates, for example, had its origins in other changes such as the sexual revolution and the large-scale entry of women into the workforce."

Abstract
This paper examines the most important and likely ways that Atlantic Canada will be affected by climate change. The paper demonstrates that climate change has the potential to have a devastating effect on the forests, farms and economy of Atlantic Canada.
From the Paper
"Another way in which climate change could negatively impact Atlantic Canada's forests is by causing mid-winter thaws to become longer, and to occur more often. These thaws cause air bubbles to form in stems, and if these remain they will prevent water from flowing into the leaves when spring comes. Also, if there are extended thaws, when the soil freezes again it can damage roots. This means that when the spring comes, the roots are damaged. However, it is the roots that usually produce the pressure to expel the air bubbles."

Abstract
The paper reveals that global climate change is one of the most pressing environmental, economic, political and social issues facing the world. The paper discusses how the Canada's conservative government of today is moving away from the Kyoto Protocol, following a policy path closer to that of the United States. The paper explains why Canada's policies around climate change have been changing so often.
Outline:
Introduction
Why has Canada taken these Actions?
What Should Have Been Done?
From the Paper
"Canada has engaged in a number of activities in relation to combating global climate change. On December 17, 2002 Canada became the one-hundredth country to ratify the Kyoto Protocol(Weibust 2003: 287). By ratifying the Kyoto Protocol Canada made firm commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. According to MacDonald Douglas and Heather A. Smith in "Promises Made, Promises Broken", Canadian Negotiators agreed to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 6 per cent no later then 2012(Douglas and Smith 1999-2000: 357). What this means is that Canada under Prime Minister John Chretien was certainly willing to co-operate with the larger world community. They had made firm commitments and seemed to be following similar policy paths to European Union."

Women, Work and the Family in Canada., 2002.

Abstract
This essay will argue that the capacity of society to "normalize" exclusion, and ignore the realities of "difference", with respect to the construction of family units is reflected in, and reinforced by, state policies. Indeed, it may be argued that the state is the primary player in ensuring the continuing marginalization of "non-traditional" family units among gays and lesbians, Aboriginals, peoples of colour and single-parent families.

Women, Work and the Family in Canada, 2002.
An anti-racist feminist discussion of the Chinese refugee "crisis" in Canada.

Abstract
This paper will argue that Canadian attitudes towards Asian migrants is subtly (and sometimes, not so subtly) racist with respect to their contribution to this country. Although Chinese workers have literally helped build this nation from the time of its foundation, they have never received credit for this. In particular, an anti-racist feminist analysis will reveal how the lives and work of women of Asian descent in Canada has been defined for generations by a complex intertwining of racist and sexist stereotypes.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and track Canada?s perceptions of its changing place in the world as a result of the two world wars, with respect to loyalty and nationalism. Its objective is to link these changing perceptions to broader socio-cultural, economic and political ideas socially and economically. It shows how throughout the course of history, Canada is tracked as at first giving allegiance to Britain, as it was a British colony and how, under the guidance of Mackenzie King, Canada changed course and began to emulate the United States, politically, socially and economically.
From the Paper
"Secondly, Canada was tied to Britain socially?Britain was a supplier of immigrants. Immigrants satisfied a variety of purposes, for example, the transportation of lumber from Canada to Britain was paid for by immigrants??Efficient use of the equipment used for shipping those heavy, bulky wood products eastward across the Atlantic demanded an equivalent cargo in weight and volume pay its way westward? (Zerker 10). While the immigrants provided labour for the British colony, they also facilitated the lumber trade through immigration to Canada, such that the transportation of lumber was paid for. Thus in Canada?s earlier years, Canadian loyalty to Britain increased, since apparently Canada?s well-being depended on Britain's."

Abstract
This paper analyses the needs of the Lok family who have a family member who needs health care. The paper explains how an integral part of quality care is that all care professionals who interact with the patient and family members share the responsibility of providing patient and family education. In this case the author establishes that as the family are immigrants it is necessary to understand and respect their religious and cultural background in order to be able to provide the best health education.
From the Paper
"Patient and family education is an integral part of quality care. Providing it is a responsibility shared by all care professionals who interact with a patient and with family members. Teaching patients can be the most challenging as well as the most rewarding aspect of care. Understanding the patient's religious and cultural background is an important consideration when providing health education to the Lok family. In order to determine the family's cultural status and understand its forced migration, I must be open-minded, show respect for beliefs that differ from my own, and avoid making assumptions or stereotyping. In educating the Lok family, it is essential to understand Chinese culture. China is a country of multiple faiths, with a large segment of the pop..."

Abstract
This paper studies the family members and dynamics in two American novels about marooned families. The paper compares the personalities and character traits of the matriarchs and patriarchs, as well as the children. Another similarity discussed is the scenes in which the families are forced to venture into unknown territory in order to survive. The paper also illustrates how both books reinforce the traditional values of the nuclear family. In fact, the paper concludes that the most important lesson from these books is that the family will pull together to surmount obstacles and to counteract adversity.
From the Paper
"The Robinsons reached their unlikely new home when they were shipwrecked on their way to settle in a place that was not their home. We are not told how the Borrowers came to be living under the floor, but we do find out that at one time there was a colony of Borrowers, some of whom were extended family, living in the same house. Both environments require the participation of both mother and father to survive. In both, the father leaves the home every day to obtain the things necessary for survival. In both, the mothers stay home and prepare meals, provide clothing and keep the home comfortable and clean. In both, the home - no matter how undesirably located - is a haven for the family, the place where they feel safe and where they enjoy each other's company."

Social Change and Same-Sex Marriage in Canada, 2006.
An examination of same sex marriages and Canadian society.

Abstract
This paper examines the legalization of same-sex marriages in Canada and the shift in society that brought about this change. The paper discusses the negative attitude of Canadian society in the past toward same-sex marriages. The paper also notes that more same sex couples were becoming parents, while increasing numbers of lesbians and gays were coming out of the closet and, as a result, many more non-gay Canadians realized that people they knew - family members, friends, other parents at their children's schools - were gay and lesbian, and due to this became gradually more tolerant. The paper explains that the biggest social change in Canada this century has been the legalization of same sex marriage which happened in June of 2005, when the federal government, led by the Liberal Party under Paul Martin, legalized same-sex marriage for all of Canada.
From the Paper
"For a very long time in Canadian society, the very idea of same-sex marriage would have been preposterous. After all, up until 1967, sex between consenting adults of the same sex was actually illegal. This, it is argued, was absolutely unacceptable in a country that has enshrined equal rights for all adults in its Bill of Rights. However, it seems that this bill was not far-reaching enough, given that the state still saw fit to prescribe appropriate sexual behaviours between consenting adults."

Work and Family Conflict: The Dual-Earning Family Problem, 2000.
A look at the conflict between work and family that two-income families face and the lack of support they receive from employers.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"One of the largest transformations in family life over the last decades has been the rise of the dual-earner family. The number of families which are dual-earner, married couple households has increased dramatically, having overtaken "traditional" breadwinner/homemaker families in number as early as the mid-70s, continuing into even through the late 1980s and 1990s. Despite the phenomenal growth in this segment of the population, very little has been done to meet the growing needs of dual-earner families. With the prevalence of mothers and fathers in the work force, inevitably we find that there is a conflict. Caregivers in the workforce face the difficult decision to choose between their family and their jobs, and unfortunately, most employers do not do enough to help."

Familial Evolution: Role Relationships in the Family Structure, 2005.
An examination of family structure and roles in Kaye Gibbons' "Ellen Foster," Celia Rothenberg's "Child of Divorce, and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child."

Abstract
The family, an evolving entity that exists beyond the boundaries of genetics, encompasses relationships intertwined by emotions, education, proximity and biology. The roles each member of the family holds: father, mother sister, and brother, impact the family specifically, and potentially impact society at large. This paper examines these ideas by taking a look at "Ellen Foster" by Kay Gibbons, "Child of Divorce" by Celia Rothenberg and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child" (anonymous).
From the Paper
"The actions of the family affect society at large. Roles remain the same, but the people playing them and their methods constantly fluctuate. While increasingly common to find homes where both parents work, it remains an unfortunate necessity. Children of these homes often draw their life's instructions from daycare workers and television rather than the tutelage of their mothers and fathers. Rather, it is imperative that the pursuit of advanced education, critical thinking, and spiritual exploration be encouraged and demonstrated by the parents."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this research is to discuss family therapy in the context of marriage and family systems. Under discussion will be conceptual models of family therapy, the family life cycle concept, and a comparison of various approaches to the treatment of families.
Conceptual models of family therapy: family systems, family pathology, family treatment.
The conceptual models of family therapy that make the most sense are systems-based family therapy, whether structural or strategic, and the concept of triangulation. Systems-based family therapy, both structural and strategic, are based in social theory. Both deal with the psychodynamic world of the family rather than viewing the identified "sick" member of the family individually. For example, mental illness in a family (...)"
