Abstract
This paper shows that the dominant culture in Canada has not valued domestic labour and communal work because it does not fall under the category of "economic development". Thus, women migrants who work in the home and in the community help their families survive, but because of the sexist and classist lens through which elites have seen their own history, they are ignored by the "official" history of the country they live in. Moreover, they are already dealing with a disadvantage, since the society itself is misogynist and sexist.

The story of the evolution of her leadership ability, motivation and beliefs is told through the medium of interviews conducted by anthropologist Elisabeth Burgos-Debray. Burgos-Debray argues that the book tells the life of not only one twenty-three-year-old woman, but also the society and culture of which her life is an integral part:
Her life story is an account of contemporary history rather than of Guatemala itself. It is in that sense that it is exemplary: she speaks for all the Indians of the American continent (Burgos-Debray xi)."

Abstract
This paper uses two plays from the beginning of the century, "Mrs. Warren?s Profession" by George Bernard Shaw and "Hindle Wakes" by Stanley Houghton to examine the attitudes of the playwright and British society toward women. It deals with such issues as prostitution and marriage and shows how different the views of the turn of the century man can be. It looks at how the liberation and oppression of women are major themes in both plays and discusses how exactly which of the female characters in each play is liberated or oppressed is a more contentious issue ? and views of this are subject to the social climate of the contemporary audience.
From the Paper
"Mrs. Warren can also be seen as a liberated woman, for in actuality she is not legally attached to a man, and she makes her own way in the world. She has provided for herself and given her daughter a good life and a good education, so that Vivie does not have to make the same choices as her mother ? she may move in far better social circles with her mothers money than her mother herself can. In the same way that Vivie does not want a husband, and is therefore seen as a liberated woman because she has the opportunity to live her own life, nor does Mrs. Warren have or require a husband."

The writer shows how these films help illustrate the ideas of Mulvey and Kaplan.The writer focuses on directing and the eyes of the camera, through the portrayal of women in popular culture youth centred films.
From the Paper
"Gender perspective is an important facet for studying society and culture through film. Gender is an essential perspective because we watch films on a screen as a portrayal from the eye of the camera and the director?s point of view. There are two views the hegemonic male gaze and the feminist perspective, meaning through the eyes of a man, or the eyes of a women. The male gaze is the most common in film because of our patriarchal society. Most of the famous Hollywood directors are male. Very few females have made the transition into film making as a blockbuster director. Through the ranks of independent and art house films, female directors have begun to make their mark in the industry. Feminist filmmaking is often confused on negated by feminism in the broader sense. The ideologies and goals of feminism are the strive for equality, it seems that many have confused the search for equality with a more extremist view that women should be superior to men. By definition, feminism is a doctrine that advocates equal rights for women, as well as the movement aimed at equal rights for women , this is distorted in film through a fear of this empowerment and is therefore represented by bra burning, man hating, feminist cults. Equality has made many strides forward yet in some aspects of culture, a male dominance is so abundant. "

Abstract
In "The Yellow Wallpaper" Charlotte Gilman provides a timeless blueprint of the oppression of women in her era as she illustrates, through the eyes of a narrator, what women of that era endured. The writer examines the short story and discusses the many underlying themes, with a focus on feminine oppression. The paper explains that oppression of females was an accepted practice at that time. The paper contrasts this to members of American society who were born within the past three decades; they have grown up with the understanding that women are equal partners in life. The paper describes how the feminist movement in America exploded during the 1960s and from that time, women have entered the work force in record numbers. The paper portrays how the story is an excellent example of the subtle but difficult walls that women encountered in their daily lives during that time.

"The story is told from a narrator's point of view in which a woman and her retired husband, who was a doctor, rent a mansion for the summer. The need to rent the summer mansion stems from her ailing health as she needs time to recuperate from an illness.
"Today women who are recuperating from illness or injury are often encouraged to resume their normal duties and activities as soon as they feel able, but in keeping with the story era this wife is "forbidden" by her husband to partake in any of the things that give her pleasure."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The poem "Paper Matches" by Paulette Jiles reflects the oppression of women in a society, perhaps of times past, perhaps today's society and relates this oppression to both the existence and quenching of a fire, such as the way paper matches are struck and then doused. The poem is written in a arrhythmic manner with limited flowery language and little in the way of similes and rhythmic devices. However, the paper explains that the words the author has chosen to use are powerful and the images elicited by the title and the words are similarly powerful and symbolic.

Abstract
This is a research proposal that was done to look at the effects of poverty on immigration in Canada. In Canada, immigrants are more likely to live under the poverty line than native Canadian-born citizens. The proposal attempts to answer the question: Why are Canada?s immigrants more likely to end up in poverty than native-born Canadians. It is a qualitative proposal, which includes a literature review. The author discusses census data and utilizes interview questions and answers. The proposal was written in first person narrative, and is 13 pages long, including bibliography as well as a potential newspaper ad for gathering applicants to the study.
From the Paper
"This study will hopefully show why it is that immigrants to Canada , at least those who arrived since 1981, are more likely to live in poverty than native-born Canadians. It will attempt to find possible solutions to prevent this from happening to future immigrant populations, whether the problem lies in the hands of the immigration system, or if it has to do with something else. Optimistically, my study will also serve to educate the public and policy makers to adopt different views on immigration and immigrants than the ones currently harbored by many. In my opinion, education of the public and lawmakers will prove crucial after the findings to start finding ways to make some changes to get these people out of poverty, which would benefit everyone."

Immigration Policies into Canada, 2008.
An essay discussing the issue of immigration into Canada, with particular reference to Alberta.
2,462 words (approx. 9.8 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of immigration in Canada and attempts to show that there are differences between the immigration policies of the federal government and the provincial government of Alberta, but that they concur in one important aspect: both place emphasis on the need to attract skilled workers to Canada. The paper continues and relates that both allocate funds in order to attract workers. The paper also highlights the fact that skilled immigrants who come to Canada are unable to find work in their chosen professions, which points out the serious disconnection between the intent of immigration policies at both federal and provincial level. The paper agrees that this is not good for the immigrants nor good for Canada's economy and suggests methods of addressing this disconnection.
From the Paper
"The federal government appears to be trying to find ways to resolve the disconnections. For example, the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, announced the launch of a Foreign Credentials Referral Office on 24th May 2007. In announcing this, Finley noted that she had often heard stories of "the newcomer to Canada, who came with skills and credentials ... and who has had to struggle ever since to get a job in his or her chosen field" (www.cic.gc.ca). Yet at the same time, she notes that "We need skilled newcomers and we need skilled newcomers to work in their chosen field" Hence, the new Foreign Credentials Referral Office will attempt to facilitate the accreditation of these immigrants, so as to resolve the futile disconnection of a country that needs skilled immigrants, on the one hand, and on the other hand, skilled immigrants who are prevented from working just because they cannot get their foreign credentials recognized in Canada."

Canada and Immigration, 2007.
This paper discusses the increased immigrant population in Canada.
1,055 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper cites various statistics and state sponsored research studies as evidence that not only is Canada's immigrant population a significant percentage of the overall population, but it is one that is on the rise. The paper discusses the extent of this impact on Canada. The paper points out Canada's official terminology that broadly segregates Canada's population into immigrant and native-born camps. The paper concludes that how Canada reconciles these emerging social divisions may mean the difference between continued economic prosperity or increasing violence and poverty levels.
From the Paper
"Canada is deeply affected by immigration and the impact it is having on its demographic profile. With the mass influx of foreign immigrants over the last decade and certainly with the recent spike over the last several years, soon the term Canadian could very well imply that to be Canadian is to be foreign born more than it is to mean born and raised in Canada. While this is not a negative and certainly this argument proposes nothing negative about this potential characteristic, the fact that such an observation may eventually be possible is shocking to many people. In 2005, for example, there were 262k new immigrants which was represented an 11% increase over the previous 12 month period. While this may not, at first, seem expansive, when compared as a percentage to Canada's total population, it is significant."

Canada's Immigration Policies, 2008.
A critical look at the federal and provincial immigration policies of Canada.
2,074 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at the purposes of provincial immigration policies and at the mechanisms in place to make those objectives a reality. The paper discusses the disconnection between Canada's objectives and results and explores what can be done to resolve these shortcomings. The paper also shows how Canada and its provinces may have no choice but to liberalize its immigration policy if it hopes to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.
From the Paper
"More than anything else, it appears as though the chief purpose of federal and provincial immigration policy is to expedite the influx of the most talented and industrious immigrants possible. For example, the federal Foreign Credential Referral Office will "ease" the "assessment and recognition" of foreign credentials. As it stands, when the office is wholly operational, it will operate out of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration (Woods, para.1-5). To elaborate upon the initial sentence in this paragraph, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) seeks - among other things - to admit "immigrants, foreign students, visitors and temporary workers who enhance Canada's social and economic growth" (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, para.3)."
