Abstract
This paper examines how "The Peopling of British North America" offers a critical synopsis of the patterns of immigration that occurred within the settled areas of North America over the span of multiple decades. It looks at how the work attempts to describe not only the migratory patterns of settlers, but also the effects that settlement and change had on the culture of early America.
Outline:
Introduction
Analysis of Text
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Bailyn proposes many facts in his work. First and foremost, Bailyn assumes that the peopling of British North America was nothing more than an extension and expansion of "domestic mobility in the lands of the immigrants origins", suggesting to the reader that they interpret the habitation of the North American content within the context of domestic mobility patterns (Judd 1). Bailyn also asserts that the development of the North American continent introduced a new force in history that "permanently altered the traditional configuration" prominent for years among European settlers (Judd 1)."

From the Paper
"Fred Anderson's magnificent book, Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754-1766, beautifully fulfills the author's intention of focusing on the war as "the most important event to occur in eighteenth-century North America"--a sharp contrast from the usual American historian's view of the war as a little more than a prelude to the Revolution (xv) .In Anderson's view the broader implications of the war for many kinds of people testify to its importance and he accomplishes a breadth of presentation (in what is, none the less, a strictly chronological presentation) by looking at it as a meeting of a variety of cultures: the French, the British, French and British colonials, and Native Americans who saw participation as a means to their own ends as well as those who chose to maintain a distance from the ..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of the British loyalists in North America in the period from the American Revolution to the beginning of the 19th century. The paper compares the impact they had during the conflict to that in the period immediately following the cessation of conflict. It also discusses the effect of the conflict between the loyalists and the revolutionaries.
From the Paper
"Historians estimate that about 70,000 loyalists fled the colonies after the revolution ended, with about 50,000 ending up in British colonies in Quebec and Nova Scotia (Mackenzie par. 5). A common argument has been that this sudden influx of British loyalists into Canada had a dramatic effect on the development of the nation and its relationship with the United States in the years immediately following the Revolutionary War and into the early 19th century. General antipathy toward the United States, a distrust of republicanism, and strong ideological ties with Britain have been attributed as strong influences in Canada's gradual development toward nationhood (Mackenzie par. 8-9). This argument would have us think that there was a dramatic divergence in values between Canada and the United States in the early 19th century as a result of the loyalists (Grabb et al. 373). In fact, this was not the case."

Outline:
Introduction
Causes for Global Warming in North America
Evidence of Climate Changes in North America
Impact of Global Warming on North America
Steps to Reduce the Consequences of Global Warming in North America
From the Paper
"Global warming is considered as one of the most significant environmental problems throughout the world. The earth's atmosphere has turned out to become warmer than ever before due to an increase in the level of greenhouse gases. Research has proved that human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels are the main reason for the problem of global warming. The impacts of climate change which were predicted by scientists have already
started occurring in our environment in the form of increased droughts in some areas and flooding in others, rise in the ocean temperatures and sea levels, severe weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes, melting of glaciers and reducing icecaps, drying coral reefs, coastal erosion and loss of coastal ecosystems, indicating that global warming has set into the world. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its latest report in January 2001, states that "there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities".

Abstract
This research paper examines the issue of online gambling in North America. Specific attention is paid to the technological underpinnings necessary to operate an Internet gambling site, the overall demand for gambling driving the rise in the number of such sites and the fact that operating such a site is illegal both in the U.S. and Canada. This legal barrier unfortunately renders the question of how much revenues will grow in North America moot.

Abstract
This paper discusses in general terms, some of the possible causes of homelessness in North America. It discusses the issues of education, employment, and income support and attempts to understand some of the causes of homelessness, in order to assist in developing policies and programs which will benefit, not only those at risk, but society as a whole.
From the Paper
"Richard Munroe Professor Smith English 100 November 22, 2005 Poverty: The Causes of Homelessness in North America From the eastern shores of North America to the western coast, in all major cities and most rural communities, the homeless are all around us. They can be seen sleeping on park benches, in doorways, behind garbage dumpsters in back alleys, under bridges, and anywhere else that provides at least a small level of comfort. In colder months homeless individuals of both genders, including entire families in many cases, will fill available shelters to capacity. The "effects" of homelessness on the larger society are more easily observed and quantified than are the "causes" of homelessness. The causes run deep."

Obesity and the Culture of Thinness In North America, 2005.
A discussion of eating disorders in North America.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 9 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper analyzes how cultural beliefs, gender issues and sexual politics are all contributing factors to the relationship between eating disorders and the culture of thinness in North America. The paper discusses the issues that make analyzing this relationship complicated as well as the fact that most studies tend to concentrate on women only. Understanding this relationship could contribute to better preventive interventions.
From the Paper
"Analysis of the relationship between obesity (food and the withholding of food) and the culture of thinness in the North American region is necessarily complicated by the size of the geographic/population area to be covered, as well as variations in the patterns of consumptions and ideals of beauty across the continental space. Moreover, it is also necessary to recognize that this is a gendered area of study in that, as almost all studies on the culture of thinness and its relationship to eating disorders in North America note, this is a "female" issue."

Abstract
This paper discusses Benjamin Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America," which is a piece of early American literature that highlights Franklin's criticism of the noble savage hypothesis. The paper examines Franklin's text in light of the noble savage premise and demonstrates the manner in which Franklin deftly avoided falling into the intellectual trap that that premise presented.
From the Paper
"Benjamin Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" is an important early American essay on the social and cultural nature of the native people with which Franklin had experience. His commentary on the construction of their societies and their relationships with other people, including Europeans, represents an important document on the perception of native people by the early American settlers. More than that, however, Franklin's descriptions of native life are posed in such a way as to highlight some of the failings of his own Western society, so that his essay could function both as an informative piece and as sharp political and social satire."

Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"Methodism's roots are based in a group organized by John and Charles Wesley in 1728 at Oxford known as the 'Holy Club'. Those joining the group pledged to devote themselves fully to their spiritual lives in a disciplined manner and as well to give of themselves to service in the community through prison visitation and of service to the poor and needy. It was the methodical nature of how these activities were approached that led to the label of Methodists which was originally stated in the manner of an insult by other students. However, this group took the name Methodists and wore that name with honor and went on to use the term Methodist to provide a description for the spiritual movement which was founded based upon religious experiential transformation in 1738."
