Abstract
The paper describes how Carol Geddes, in "Growing Up Native," depicts the trauma of residential school as a defining aspect of Aboriginal history in the Canadian north. Through a process of causal analysis this essay argues the thesis that while the residential schools were physically, culturally and psychologically damaging for generations of Aboriginal youth, an examination of the context will reveal that systemic racism was the ultimate cause of this trauma. The paper analyzes how the residential schools existed as instruments of both state policy and religious missionary motives within a mainstream Canadian society that considered Aboriginals inferior to whites.

From the Paper
"Cultural revival, as a positive set of developments among Aboriginal Canadians across Canada, has had different imprints upon Aboriginal women, Native womanhood of yore universally glorified, little room left for the reality of Native women whose families, by choice, were indeed Christians, their ways of life different, those for whom the attendance of residential school could involve relatively little adjustment, some of their experiences of school remarkably positive towards continuing involvement in Roman Catholic, Anglican or other Christian activities. For instance, Kim Anderson's scholarship is a contribution to explaining patterns of Aboriginal society as could be effectively removed by experiences such as residential education in schools that did reject the culture from which students came. (2000) However, where are the stories of thousands of Aboriginal women in particular and especially those of Quebec? Is the testimony of women who were not traumatized by their experiences of boarding school of no significance? What of those sent to parochial schools by their families in keeping with other Quebecois women? Where are their stories of residential education? What do they now recommend for the education of Aboriginal youth? Why are these quite usual and numerous Aboriginal Canadians invisible in the literature of Native Studies?"

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at residential schools in Canada. The writer explains that residential schools were boarding schools for native Canadian children in which the authorities and churches tried to make the children more 'white'. Further, the writer notes that they were not allowed to speak their native languages and they did not learn any of their traditions and culture. The writer also points out that many children were abused and this still has consequences today.
From the Paper
"Residential schools are a dark chapter in Canadian history. It is an example of a state-sanctioned mistreatment of an entire population and total disregard for a culture and a way of life. Furthermore the impact of residential schools is still felt today and many of those who attended these schools bear scars even now. Residential schools were schools for Native Canadian children initiated well before the Confederation. The Government of Canada estimates that "there are 86,000 people alive today who attended Indian residential schools"."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the damages caused to First Nations families by residential schools even though the government at that time felt it was the right thing to do.
From the Paper
"The government felt that by sending First Nations people to residential schools they were bettering themselves for the future ahead of them. They felt that their way, ?the Indian way?, of life was of a lesser quality than that of the European way of life and education. They wanted to make them equal to the white man. The federal government began to play a role in the development and administration of the residential school systems as early as 1874, done mainly to meet its obligation, under the Indian Act, to provide an education and lifestyle for the Aboriginal people."

Abstract
This paper looks at how residential schools influenced the First Nation Peoples of Canada, their families and their culture. Information on the many types of abuse sufferred in the schools and accounts from actual students interviewed. Apology as written by the Government of Canada to Canada's First Nations people.
From the Paper
"I would like to discuss a very sensitive topic about Canadian Aboriginal Residential Schools and the effect it had on both Native peoples and their culture. I am referring to the ?abuse?, mainly sexual. The assaults that transpired at these learning institutions (so they were called), was shockingly sorted and disturbing. I feel that the situations that occurred in which native children were sexually abused and the scars it left on the Aboriginal people and their families, is not fully understood. I want to give light to the real activities that took place in such institutions that were designed to train Aboriginals to be ?good white citizens." "

Abstract
This paper presents a narrative about compensation for survivors of Canadian residential school. The paper argues that the Canadian government is guilty of attempted cultural genocide. For this reason the government should provide a great deal of compensation to aboriginal people.
From the Paper
"The Canadian government is guilty of attempted genocide. Although the Canadian government has not attempted to physically wipe out a group of people, they have tried to destroy the culture of aboriginal people. This has been done through an aggressive assimilation program that was based on destroying the cultures of aboriginal people in Canada so that they would have to become a part of mainstream Canadian culture. A vital part of this assimilation program was the residential schools. For example, a Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples(RCAP) released in 1996 needed 178 days of public hearings in 96 communities to hear many of the cases of physical and sexual abuse in the residential schools."

From the Paper
"Sociologists and policymakers have long viewed racial residential segregation as a key aspect of racial inequality, implicated in both intergroup relations and in larger processes of individual and group social mobility" (Charles, 2003, p. 167). Charles' (2003) research indicates that where a person lives affects their proximity to good employment opportunities, quality education and safety from crime. The product of where one lives will be seen in the quality of education and employment via their socioeconomic status."

From the Paper
"As described by Melton (1998), most often residential placement services are provided under public, voluntary nonprofit, and proprietary auspices, in child welfare, child mental health, and juvenile justice systems, often to the same populations of youths. According to Melton, the divisions existing between such services are largely based on arbitrary regulatory and payment structures rather than real differences in purpose, type of services, clientele, or source of referral."

Dedicated lines became common in the middle of the twentieth century and the dial tone greatly reduced the need for operators on local ..."

From the Paper
"Before briefing teams on tasks objectives, tutors, who acted as senior managers, held a short introduction on level of performance being expected from participants and on several aspects of future environment. This briefing was designed to introduce friendly atmosphere within teams, reduce stress of team members and to help teams to duly apply different models and theories in managing team development. Each teams consisted of 7 members of different genders with various cultural and educational backgrounds. Except for the last task the composition of teams was constant. When teams were defined, the special team names were introduced to support the fast establishing of teams's self-identity. Teams were given number of tasks to do within teams: baskets and water, maze, minefield, eggs, ballista and exhibition. The fact that senior managers wrote down task objectives on paper helped participants to clearly understand their tasks. During task-related activities team members were supposed to develop group related skills such as relationship building, leading, helping, delegating, planning, setting and accomplishing goals, taking actions and applying entrepreneurship skills. The successful task accomplishment required the specialization within the team according to the perceptive abilities of its members. During the briefing session senior managers put on the board the team roles of team members within "Belbin's model" (Belbin, 1994) helped team members to get the primary idea of their team composition."

Abstract
This paper deals with the history of African-American residential segregation, such as how and why it began in the United States. It also discusses tactics used to perpetuate residential segregation and the continued sociological, economic and political effects that this practice has on African-Americans.
From the Paper
"Racial residential segregation is a major social issue that has undergone extensive research. Within any major American city, one may find neighborhoods that are racially and ethnically homogenous. Some racial and ethnic groups may choose to live amongst people of similar backgrounds, but these patterns become a problem when the causes of the homogeneity stem from racism and discrimination. Although all racial ethnic groups are likely to experience residential segregation to a certain degree, segregation is higher for African Americans than for any other group. Residential segregation has been declining in recent years, but it remains a prevalent institution in society to this day. This leads one to ask the question, why does residential segregation still exist for African Americans and what are its continued effects on society?"

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"The implementation of residential child care has the potential to significantly alter the character of juvenile punishment. If effective, this will create a setting in which positive change can be made within juvenile punishment; no longer will an authoritative punishment philosophy be applied, but rather an environment conducive to the wellbeing of the juvenile offender will be created. It is hoped that this type of setting will educate the juvenile offender in appropriate social behaviors and provide a support system that will continue into the offender's adulthood."
