Abstract
This is a position paper that examines Ann Laura Stoler's work on sexuality and social systems in colonial Asia, pointing out how sexual ideas shaped ideas of men women and social roles where racial types belonged and the influence of eugenics on moral superiority. It then turns to John D'Emilio's paper on how capitalism permitted the expression of homosexuality leading to new social forms communities, as opposed to families.
From the Paper
This paper discusses two well known scholars of sex in relation to social organization in Ann Laura Stoler's discussion of 'Carnal Knowledge and Power' (1996) and John D'Emilio's 1992 article, 'Capitalism and Gay Identity'. In both contributions the reader will find a highly theoretical approach to topics, of the kind that is interesting because the reader is forever thinking of exceptions, or noticing places where an argument may be too heavily made. Ann Laura Stoler, for instance, has set out to discuss connections between sex, imperialism, gender, race and morality across an enormous entity of 'colonial Asia' that she seems to believe can be discussed as one.

Abstract
This paper examines the legalization of same-sex marriages in Canada and the shift in society that brought about this change. The paper discusses the negative attitude of Canadian society in the past toward same-sex marriages. The paper also notes that more same sex couples were becoming parents, while increasing numbers of lesbians and gays were coming out of the closet and, as a result, many more non-gay Canadians realized that people they knew - family members, friends, other parents at their children's schools - were gay and lesbian, and due to this became gradually more tolerant. The paper explains that the biggest social change in Canada this century has been the legalization of same sex marriage which happened in June of 2005, when the federal government, led by the Liberal Party under Paul Martin, legalized same-sex marriage for all of Canada.
From the Paper
"For a very long time in Canadian society, the very idea of same-sex marriage would have been preposterous. After all, up until 1967, sex between consenting adults of the same sex was actually illegal. This, it is argued, was absolutely unacceptable in a country that has enshrined equal rights for all adults in its Bill of Rights. However, it seems that this bill was not far-reaching enough, given that the state still saw fit to prescribe appropriate sexual behaviours between consenting adults."

Abstract
This paper looks at the World Trade Organization, or WTO and debates whether or not the WTO has a positive effect on the world. The author takes the position that one needs a place to take disputes and set regulations for the international economy.
From the Paper
"The World Trade Organization, which was created in 1995, was the biggest reform of international trade since 1948. During the previous years, international commerce had been organized under GATT, which established a multilateral trading system. However, by the 1980s major restructuring was needed. The Uruguay Round brought about that overhaul. It was the largest trade negotiation ever."

Abstract
This paper explores the attitude in the UK today, of social workers towards sexuality, noting that they are hesitant about even broaching the subject.

Outline:
Introduction
Sexuality as social construction
Marginalization
Same-sex couples and child adoption
Sexuality and the aged
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Within the areas of social work sexuality needs to be debated more openly. But it needs to be done so based on a more sophisticated understanding of sexuality's meaning and power. Before the arrival of Michel Foucault, who as a French philosopher revolutionised our understanding of sexuality, the implications of maintaining attitudes as cited above - both open and hidden - had been scarcely realized. Most of the time people took it on trust, from both popular writers and medical experts, who convincingly based their explanations on a supposedly rigorous scientific footing, that sexuality was in the main a biological construct, with clear demarcations as to what constituted man and woman as well as the purpose of both in the evolutionary scheme of things. (Wilton, 2000, p.163) But more recently, people have come to appreciate how untenable and arbitrary this division could be. This misconception has been expressed by Ann Oakley particularly well."

Abstract
In this article, the writer deals with the contemporary debate over the legal and social acceptance of homosexual couples. The paper maintains that, from legal perspective, the acceptance of homosexual couples is supported under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as the case of "M. v. H". The writer concludes that, protected legally under sections 2 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, homosexuals are legally accepted as part of society; with equal rights as heterosexuals. The writer maintains that, if some find homosexuality to be a problem, they must still realize that homophobia, hate crimes, and overall discrimination is not the solution.
From the Paper
"Canada is well known for being a 'tossed salad', rather than a melting pot of cultures like the United States. This is due to its acceptance of different cultures and promotion of cultural diversity. In such a diverse society it is difficult to create laws that are pleasing to all. Pluralism in Canada does not cease at culture alone, but also includes religion and sexual orientation. Homosexuality has become a rising issue in society and should be accepted in the same manner as cultural and religious diversity. Unfortunately, this is not the case. From a social standpoint, homosexuality may be found morally corrupt for those with certain ethical and religious principles. Contrarily, it may be found as a new form of self-expression and freedom for those who wish to condone or practice it. From a legal standpoint, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the freedom of association, as well as the freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression."

Abstract
The paper explains that strategic planning, the ability to measure expected demand, structure a system to address that demand to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders, and then execute the plan, is the sign of a successful management team and a profitable organization. The author points out that, when an organization faces an operational change, the organization must undertaken four key steps through a series of operational evaluations, which can prepare the company to meet the coming demands. These include leadership, objectives identification, strategies development, and writing and executing the plan. The paper relates that, unfortunately, action-oriented managers often skim over these steps as they make their way immediately toward ?doing something?.
From the Paper
"After the leadership person or committee is identified, the second step in the process if determining the objectives needed to adapt to the changing demand. Will the organization need additional resources? Will the organization need to change communication systems, or task evaluation procedures in order to meet the new levels of demands? The strategies are typically directional and topic in nature, and not specific. The specific steps are identified in the next phase of preparing for the change, which is identifying the strategies for obtaining the specific objectives.

From the Paper
"Another specific drag upon the success of GM lay in its history with its own labor force of unionized workers. The pension plans and health care benefits General Motors negotiated with the United Auto Workers Union when the company was at its most profitable mean that such commitments to GM workers amount to about $1,500 per car and consume five percent of all the company's entire revenue. (Brunell, 2005)
To save money, GM plans to close a number of American plants and eliminate 25,000 jobs. Robert S. Miller Jr., the chief executive of Delphi, the nation's now-bankrupt, once biggest maker of auto parts states that unless it cuts labor costs it could follow Delphi into bankruptcy court. "Delphi, a division of G.M. until 1999, sought bankruptcy protection in federal court in New York on Saturday, in the largest Chapter 11 filing in the history of the automobile industry. G.M. represents roughly half of Delphi's business, and about 4,000 Delphi workers have the right to return to G.M., meaning that the company would be responsible for their wages and benefits, including pension and health care costs, on top of its own liabilities. G.M. has estimated that its cost from a Delphi bankruptcy could be as much as $11 billion." G.M. shares fell $2.81, to $25.48, in the first day of trading after the Delphi filing. (Maynard, 2005) "

Abstract
This paper discusses the World Trade Organization. The WTO is the most influential body regarding trade, trade relationships, and trade disputes in the world. While the US is obviously one of its leading members, it has not been the dominant force in this organization that it has in other major international organizations. Although only organized since 1995, the WTO also has its roots in the post World War II era.
From the Paper
"The WTO is the follow-on organization to GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) that guided international trade since the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 attempted to form the International Trade Organization (Condon, 2002). While the ITO was never successful due primarily to US lobbying, GATT guided world trade matters until the Uruguay Round in 1995 created the..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that all organizations in today's business world function within an external environment and from the basis of an internal environment. The writer notes that the success of an organization is therefore dependent upon the effective integration of the internal with the external environment. The writer points out that the Palo Alto Fire Department is an example of an organization that has adjusted its internal environment to optimally serve its function in the public environment where it operates. One could therefore say that an organization's internal environment is its reaction to the external environment in which it performs its functions. The writer concludes that in terms of external physical hazards to employees, the Department follows the standard procedures of firefighting safety, while also updating and researching new techniques and technology on a regular basis.
Outline:
Palo Alto Fire Department
From the Paper
"Emergency responses extend to incidents relating to major freeway emergencies, airports, major hospitals and medical centers, the university, and other structures normally found in and around an urban area. Annually, the duties of the Fire Department include responding to more or less 6,000 incidents on an annual basis. It is interesting to note that non-medical calls have not shown a significant increase, there has been a steady increase in medical response calls. This trend is expected to continue over the next few years."
"The structure of the Fire Department itself comprises seven full-time stations throughout the city. These are located strategically for optimal response to crises situations. When the fire danger in the hillside areas is high during the summer season, an additional fire station is operated in this area. Because of the sparse population here, this fire station closes during the winter, where there is not as much danger."

Abstract
This paper defines organizational socialization as the process through which individuals are transformed from outsiders to participating, effective members of organizations. While organizational change is defined more simply as either down-sizing or reengineering within the corporation, which both constitute the same radical corporate transformation within a business or corporation. The writer of this paper contends that the success of today's organization depends on unleashing and maximizing the talents of its workforce. The overall purpose of both occupational socialization and organization change is to help managers and supervisors achieve better results by identifying when and how to be participative. It is based on the premises that participative management and leadership practices are essential to building commitment. This paper details the various scenarios which require businesses to make drastic cutbacks or structural changes in the set up of the company as well as the reactions from both management and the workforce. Some of the more positive reasons for a company to change are in a shift of how to do business, manage complexity as well as the ability to transcend existing inertia and become more effectively competitive. Some of the more negative effects of change are that it can distract from the basic company goal, changing just to increase team spirit. The writer of this paper discusses several models in organizational socialization methods, including the Schein method which dictates that socialization to higher levels of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence within the organization.

From the Paper
"Some formal socialization techniques include orientation programs, new employee training, and employee handbooks and for on going socialization, job rotation. On the other hand informal socialization may include on-the-job training from a supervisor or coworkers, word of mouth and upending or transformational experiences. One of the better known organizational socialization models is Schein's which states that socialization to higher level of management includes socialization to more central roles and influence in the organization. One informal method of doing this is through personal mentoring. The Schein method describes that some of psychosocial functions of mentoring include role modeling, acceptance and confirmation and friendships."
