Abstract
Michael Ignatieff's 2000 Massey lecture highlighted Canada as a rights society. This is a consequence of the geographic concentration of the three founding peoples. The result has been conflicts between the federal and provincial governments and between natives and provincial governments. This discussion focuses on the assertion that 'land claims' are an avenue to settlement of these issues. It links establishment of a territorial base to political autonomy.

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the laws of all three nations-the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada-are based on the same underlying body of law, loosely described as English jurisprudence-the right to freedom of speech/expression in all three is quite similar. This paper compares the three country's laws and regulations regarding this issue.
From the Paper
"A flap in town council demonstrates the principle of free speech as practiced in the U.K. As the result of an insult flung about in the council chambers, one of the government/political people attending said something to a reporter "no gentleman would say." The commentator on the incident noted that both politicians and journalists can play rough, and, to the public mind, it is a non-starter as an issue. However, a piece of legislation was in place that was causing some discussion concerning the insulter's right to make the insult. "The real villain of the piece is an item of legislation entitled-soporifically-The Local Authorities (Model Code of Conduct) (England) Order 200." It contains a section demanding that members of city councils must "treat others with respect." This makes politeness mandatory, which also, then, limits how one may express one's self, at least if one is a council member in Great Britain. Moreover, the demand to express thoughts only in a polite manner extends to 'others' and not just voters or officials...anyone and everyone, obviously at all times. This law only applies to council members: One assumes that, except where specifically codified into law, other citizens of the U.K. can be verbally disrespectful if they wish."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As the magazine does not depend on advertising it has become a well-established informative magazine in its own right. The Society's Mission Programs support critical expeditions and scientific fieldwork; encourage geography education for students; promote natural and cultural conservation; and inspire audiences through new media, vibrant exhibitions, and live events. Though the times have drastically changed over the past hundred years, the subject matter that the National Geographic uses usually combine a number of the following themes: cultural expansion and transformation, discovery of the unknown, personal ambitions, informational resourcefulness, international cooperation and obviously preservation of historical evidence and 'treasures' of ancient civilizations. Integral to the individuality of its publications is the fact that each issue includes at least one map so that readers gain a significantly better idea about geographic nature of the article they are reading."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper argues that schools, by their very nature, must encourage free inquiry and free expression of ideas. Oral expression is needed as a learning mechanism, as well as a psychological outlet. The paper argues that schools, both public and private, should provide opportunities for students and teachers to express themselves orally, with the understanding that measures of protection are in place which will allow for this expression.
From the Paper
"In many communities around the country, however, school administrators and librarians are under heavy pressure from religious and other groups to censor what students read and study. Teachers are becoming self-censoring in the selection process, making every effort to make "safe" book choices. These practices aren't eliminating the problem, they're only amplifying it . Educators cannot, for the sake of the students, allow themselves to be pressured into diluting their curriculum into superficial facts."

The Concentration Ratio, 2005.

675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines the concentration ratio as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry". The author points out that concentration ratios in business practice emphasize the importance of market competitiveness and the number of firms within a given industry. The paper relates that it is expected that firms will be affected by variables such as prices, brand recognition and product quality in their efforts to promote competition and market effectiveness.
From the Paper
"In a business environment that incorporates the use of concentration ratios, it is necessary to understand the meaning of this term and its application to modern business principles. The concentration ratio is defined as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry" (QuickMBA, 2004). In the example given, it is necessary to consider that a given industry segment with a particular number of firms is typically very competitive, or it is not as relevant in the overall marketing mix (QuickMBA, 2004). Therefore, the example provides a concentration ratio of 30% for the top 20 firms, or CR20. This type of ratio demonstrates that these firms own 30% of the total market share within this industry, and in an analytical sense, this is a relatively low level of competition amongst these firms."

Documentary Expression, 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses documentaries as a form of expression which were introduced in the New Deal era and the Depression era. These were times when the nation needed hope and needed to understand the tragedy and stress they were going through. Documentaries were also a mode of transcribing history and revealing realistic the situation to gain a future understanding of the time. The documentary mode of expression was as much for the people as it was for the government. This paper studies this matter in-depth and concludes that the documentaries and history at the time were stated clearly from the governmental point of view.
From the Paper
"When we view the media forms of the times we realize the strength the people had in that era. As the generation of the future we realize that while the generation of the past was termed as the ?Greatest generation? it can also be called and at times is termed as the ?Lost Generation.? Today, the youth are shown as disgruntled and violent but though the nationalism prominent in the past may overshadow the turbulence, the fact remains that a thorough analysis of the documentaries will show that the past too had its share of problems. It is said that the media of every era will portray the society and culture of its times. A study of the 1930s media reports shows that the Depression era was not as 'great' for the people living in it. ''(A) generation, numbering in the millions, has gone so far in decay that it acts without thought of social responsibility,'' historians George Leighton and Richard Hellman proclaimed in a much-quoted Harper' s Monthly article in 1936. ''High-school kids are armed, out for what they can get . . . . The Lost Generation is even now rotting before our eyes.'' In 1935, Columbia University President Nicholas Butler summed up the grave ''youth problem'': ''Day by day the newspapers report one grave crime after another, one moral delinquency after another, and one dereliction of duty after another.''

From the Paper
" Many prisoners eventually became what were known as Muselmanner. The Muselmanner are persons destroyed, devastated, shattered wrecks strung between life and death. They are the victims of a stepwise annihilation of human beings. The mere external appearance of the Muselmanner bespoke profound dehumanization. In a final stage of emaciation, their skeletons were enveloped by flaccid, parchmentlike sheaths of skin, edema had formed on their feet and thighs, their posterior muscles had collapsed. Their skulls seemed elongated; their noses dripped constantly, mucus running down their chins. Their eyeballs had sunk deep into their sockets; their gaze was glazed. Their limbs moved slowly, hesitantly, almost mechanically. They exuded a penetrating, acrid odor; sweat, urine, liquid feces trickled down their legs. The rags that covered their freezing frames were full of lice; their skin was covered with scabies. Most suffered from diarrhea. They ate anything they could lay their hands on--moldy bread, cheese wriggling with worms, raw bits of turnip, garbage fished from the bins. "

Mill and the Freedom of Expression, 2001.
A look at how John Stuart Mill views the issue of freedom of expression.

Abstract
This paper examines John Stuart Mill's view on freedom of expression and the liberal stance that he takes toward it. It also analyzes the way in which Mill believes freedom of expression impacts individual development.
From the Paper
"In On Liberty, John Stuart Mill offers a grand and sweeping defense of the principle of liberty. Mill defends the principle on two grounds: it enables individuals to realize their unique, individual potential, and by liberating individual talents, creativity, and spontaneity, it provides the essential nurturing for moral and intellectual progress. Freedom of expression is especially significant to his theory of liberty, as it plays a vital role in individual development. Crucial to Mill?s theory as well is his belief that interference with individual liberty is never justified unless it is to prevent harm to others. This, in turn, leads to Mill?s liberal view on freedom of expression, as he allows for little legitimate interference in this sphere, arguing instead for the fullest liberty in professing and discussing opinions, ideas, and doctrines."

"Barriers to exit refer to the costs that would be incurred by a firm should that firm decide to stop participating in a given market. Thus, a market in which participating firms (1) are required to make a high cost investment in equipment and/or facilities, and (2) where such equipment and/or facilities may not (a) be easily transferable by a firm to use for other purposes, or (b) quickly sold without significant loss may be said to be characterized by barriers to exit. Market contestability is defined primarily in the context of ease of exit, and ease of exit is directly related to the barriers to exit character of a market. When a firm can leave an industry or market at little or no cost to the firm, the market is said to be contestable."

Abstract
This paper looks at three famous legal cases in the United States which resulted in landmark decisions regarding the boundaries to freedom of expression. In each case, the paper discusses the events leading up to the case, the arguments presented on both sides, and the final Supreme Court ruling.
From the Paper
"Freedom of expression plays an important role in the doctrines of human liberty. However not every country grants this right to its citizens. There are many countries in the world where freedom of expression is still a contentious issue and which have been categorized by Freedom House as not being entirely free. The United States of America is one country where the constitution gives every American the freedom of speech and expression. However there have been cases where American citizens have misused this law to their own advantage. Freedom of expression and speech is a right to use and not to abuse."
