Abstract
This paper looks at the regulation of the securities industry in Canada. It briefly reviews the Canadian capital market and looks at the various self-regulating organizations (SROs) in place and their key features. From there, the paper discusses the nature of the Constitution Act, 1867, and how it can be construed as supporting local or provincial control of the securities sector.
From the Paper
"As a last point before bringing this paper to a close, it should be added that self-regulation by the SROs discussed above (and at the provincial level in the form of securities commissions) are better simply because it allows supervisory bodies to concentrate their efforts upon a smaller group of individuals. To put the matter simply, individuals looking to break the law - or at least to engage in questionable practices - may feel that they can "slip through the cracks" of a national regulatory regime. However, by having provincial commissions in place (acting in conjunction with broad organizations like the MFDA and IDA, of course) the likelihood of evading detection becomes increasingly remote. Effective plans or programs that heighten the effectiveness of provincial self-regulation would surely seem to be ones that call for close cooperation between SROs and provincial commissions - with joint offices set up that pool resources and allow for immediate investigation of complaints or concerns."

Abstract
In recent years we have witnessed a considerable amount of change, which has had an impact on the role of regulators in the broadcasting industry. Included in this is the development of the global marketplace as well as the rise of new forms of technology and media, such as the Internet, which can make regulation difficult if not impossible. This, of course, has raised the question of whether or not there is any role for regulation in this new and evolving environment. The purpose of this paper will be to examine these issues in light of this specific case of government regulation. This analysis will include an outline of the reasons why the government has intervened, the form of intervention, the results of intervention, as well as whether or not an alternative policy might be preferable.

Abstract
Canada was the first parliamentary government in the world to require the registration of lobbyists, resulting from a reaction to the perceived inappropriate level of the power of lobbyists in connection with the 1984 elections. This paper looks at the implications of this policy on further elections.
From the Paper
"Contract lobbying is frequently done by legal firms employing former government officials and attorneys familiar with the structure of the bureaucracy. The Financial Times wrote in 1981 that lobbyists were ?the best informed, least understood and perhaps most influential private citizens in the country? due to their experience within the political system, their knowledge of its issues and terminology, and their network of personal contacts within it."

Abstract
This paper addresses mainly the agencies and regulations that deal with the aspects terrorism outlined in "Operation Liberty Shield," an initiative under the Department of Homeland Security that was initiated in March, 2003. It looks at the limitations of these agencies regarding Constitutional laws and basic human rights, but also discusses the necessity of such strict controls after 9/11.
From the Paper
"Homeland security is defined as a "concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur" (United States. Department of Homeland Security, 2). The nature of American society makes the United States an ever-evolving, ever-changing target (United States, Department of Homeland Security, vii). As the nation develops defenses in one area, terrorists are likely to exploit other weaknesses. Though the Department of Homeland Security falls under the federal branch of the government, to be effective the responsibility for carrying out the department's mission falls, not only on the federal government, but on Congress, state and local governments and on the American people. Therefore, in essence, the National Strategy for Homeland Security is an outline designed to help the federal government work with other entities and individuals to identify critical infrastructures, assets, detect terrorist threats and enhance defense systems. The coordination is complex, and even if all agencies and regulations follow the outline to the letter, Americans, who desire to maintain a freedom, must accept the risk terrorist attacks as a permanent addition to the American way of life (United States. Department of Homeland Security, vii)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the forces of globalization and integration have directly affected the securities industry and its markets. The writer maintains that previously independent, national securities markets are becoming increasingly interdependent because of changes wrought by the forces of globalization in three key arenas: technology, competition and regulation. This paper examines all three issues.
From the Paper
"Globalization seems to be the catchword for changes in financial matters ranging from the mergers of transnational corporations to the price of lemonade sold by third graders on the corner. If there's a problem with economies, globalization is to blame. If an economy is doing particularly well, then the forces of globalization are responsible for the success. In short, globalization has been the easy answer for a lot of economists and business leaders intent on analyzing changes within various marketplaces. Despite the overuse of the term - often by individuals who do not understand how to use it - globalization has been responsible for many of the changes that directly affect the business world."

Good Regulation, 2002.
The paper discusses regulation and what constitutes 'good' regulation in developed and developing countries

Abstract
This paper explores the works of two scholars in regulation analysis, Robert Baldwin and Martin Cave. The paper presents their arguments about whether or not there can be 'good' regulation, what this means and how regulation can be defined and practiscd in developed and develping countries. Problems in achieving the essentials of regulation are discussed and recommendations are made drawing on a wide cross-section of case-studies and examples from the U.S., U.K., Africa, the Caribbean and South East Asia.
From the Paper
"The topic of regulation is one of elusive character, both in conceptual meaning and in practice. Given the fact that regulation is eclectic and multidisciplinary, the idea of good regulation is difficult to be achieved considering many factors such as the public and private sectors as well as voluntary or community groups and even academics to whom such ?good regulation? might mean different things. Contributing to this mode of dissension is the fact that economists and political scientists seem to treat regulation differently, as the former accentuate regulation for efficiency and the latter concentrate on the matter of public interest."

Abstract
This paper evaluates an under-emphasized aspect of self-regulated learning - motivation. The paper examines various methods of regulation of motivation. The paper describes how, in self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their ways of making achievements.
From the Paper
"In self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their way to make achievements. To achieve educational goals, self-regulated learners have the ability to recognize what they aim, what it takes to accomplish a goal, the process they need to go through, and the control of endurance in their whole efforts. Besides those factors, regulation of motivation also plays an important role in self-regulated learning. Motivation is important to provide the foundation to start the learning and achieving process. Motivation can be viewed as ?product? or ?process? (Winne & Mark, 1989 in Wolters, 2003). Wolters states, as a product, motivation means ?willingness to persist in a task.? As a ?process,? students experience different levels of motivation from many causes and conditions."

Abstract
This paper presents two essays on government regulation. The first essay attempts to show how government regulations protect consumers and businesses and help maintain a stable economy. The paper discusses the merits of regulations about hazardous waste, vehicle lemon laws and monopoly and anti-trust laws. The second essay maintains that government regulations harm the economy by hurting businesses. This view portrays how government regulations are so restrictive that they make it impossible for businesses to operate, which negatively affects both consumers and the economy.
From the Paper
"Since America was in its infancy, the public has looked to federal and state government agencies to protect it from harm. Whether it was the threat of international terrorism or scams from international gold diggers, society has turned to its government and asked it to regulate such activities to protect American residents. While the public recognizes and appreciates such efforts, it quickly changes its tune when it comes to government regulations with regard to business."

From the Paper
"Although securities transactions are private contracts, they take place in public markets and have effects extending far beyond the specific parties involved. Moreover, there is a general societal interest in strong capital markets. The strength of the U.S. capital markets, due in part to their relative safety and transparency, has been a fundamental component of this country's economic growth. Indeed, the United States' capital markets are sufficiently attractive that they regularly attract listings from foreign issuers, some of whom appear to view compliance with extensive U.S. regulations as providing their securities with something like a good housekeeping seal. An increasing number of foreign issuers and corporations are choosing to list their stock on United States exchanges, thereby agreeing to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws. This public nature of business law is the central focus of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation."

Abstract
This paper explains that government regulation of commerce in the United States traces back to the first draft of the Constitution, which gives the federal government power to regulate interstate commerce. The author points out that the power of regulations of businesses allows the federal government to act on behalf of the public and provide protections for individuals who cannot manage on their own without collective support. The paper stresses that, far from being evil and ineffective, appropriate government regulations can have many positive effects such as reducing corporate excess and increasing accountability in the business world. The author underscores that, unfortunately, the presence of a regulatory agency or legislation is no guarantee of the successful achievement of that goal. The paper also argues that any regulation leveled at the business community is ultimately borne by the consumers who patronize those businesses and negatively impact innovation in products by raising costs for businesses.

From the Paper
"The reality is that the government is, by and large, an obstacle to increased prosperity and economic growth in industrialized nations. The traditional view of regulations is that it is the primary weapon or tool that the government has in its efforts to rein in the excesses of the business community. This attitude posits that business and commerce is somehow opposed to the interests of the public and that the government can act as a kind of "white knight" to protect the public and champion their interests in the face of corporations and businesses intent only on improving their bottom line and increasing profits."

Abstract
The paper discusses the 2002 legislation of Sarbanes-Oxley that regulates the accounting industry's own regulatory norms. The paper explains that despite the positive effects of such regulation, questions regarding the actual effectiveness of the broader, federal regulations over the previously established state regulations are raised. The paper emphasizes the effects that these federal regulations have had on the global markets and therefore, on the United States market as a whole. The paper concludes that increasing intrusion of federal law into how corporations go about their business, threatens to sacrifice the prime objective of corporate productivity and in turn, the productivity of our nation on a global scale.
Outline:
Introduction
The New Federal Regulation Of Corporate Governance
The Effect Of Federal Regulation On Existing State
Regulation Of Corporations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a large number of accounting scandals and public outcry regarding executive compensation in the United States, however. As such, government bodies from the Securities and Exchange Commission to Congress to the courts have chipped in regarding the regulatory environment of business conducted within the U.S. The most high profile of these actions was the 2002 legislation of Sarbanes-Oxley, regulating the accounting industry's own regulatory norms. However, other regulatory measures have included executive compensation, the administration of mutual funds, and public disclosures of transactions have been increasingly regulated by the federal government, with undoubtedly the best of intentions."

Abstract
Through an examination of the history of film in America, this paper looks at the censorship and regulation of the film industry and argues that the need for regulation was forced upon the industry (and still is, in a way) for no other reason than that conservative elements of America felt that what the average American could see should be censored. The paper further argues that this regulation was not merely to prevent bawdiness, lewdness, or unsuitable physical actions that stimulated sexual feelings, but also to regulate the politicization of the movies.
From the Paper
"Following the end of the War, while many film makers now turned to a rather "new" sophistication, there was also a very serious anti-Communist note in some movies. While the real "Red Scare" occurred in the 1950s, in 1919, for example, there was real concern that the newly Communist Russia might actually invade the U.S. "Conservative films such as The New Moon (1919) disparaged communists and communism with scenes of perfidious Bolshevik officers attacking vulnerable young women....In The Penalty...audiences saw 10,00 disgruntled foreign workers, armed with rifles and pistols, waiting to open fire on police and take over the city of San Francisco." (Ross 136). Politicians applauded these films, even though they often misrepresented actual events. This included several truly anti-Semitic films, which, under extreme political pressure, were forced to change character names and some dialogue. "Pressure from the Yiddish press and Governor Al Smith forced the producers of The Volcano to alter its blatantly anti-Semitic plot. The hero's name was changed from Garland to Nathan Levison and the hook-nosed villain was given the line: 'I am not Jew. I am a Bolshevik.!'" (Ross 141)."

A comparative analysis of two articles on self regulation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the articles "Hypo-Egoic Self-Regulation: Exercising Self-Control by Diminishing the Influence of the Self" by M. Leary, C. Adams and E. Tate and "Personality and Self-Regulation: Trait and Information-Processing Perspectives" by Rick Hoyle. It discusses how Hoyle's analysis captures the importance of self-regulation in today's society and, in particular, how people perceived and interpreted this concept. The paper then attempts to show how this popular belief about self-regulation allows researchers on self-control/self-regulation to prove whether this interpretation and perspective is indeed more accurate in depicting the nature of these concepts. In comparison, the paper looks at how Leary et. al.'s new discovery about the nature of self-regulation is illustrated through the hypo-egoic state concept.
From the Paper
"In uncovering this finding in the study, the authors looked into occasions and instances in which self-regulation of the self fails. This investigation was done to determine the factors that contribute to low self-control, and consequently, contribute to lowered hypo-egoic state. One of the main factors that identified the complexity of the concept of hypo-egoic state is that it is paradoxical: the main thrust of the authors was that in order to achieve self-control of the self, one has to relinquish the idea that s/he seeks to control himself/herself. The futility of this said paradox was determined to be the key that guided the authors in studying further the conceptual and operational concepts surrounding self-control and hypo-egoic state. "
