Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of stress and how it can affect our everyday lives. It explains that it is normal and healthy to feel stressed occasionally during our lifetimes. However, when stress becomes an overly routine emotion, dictating how we go about our daily lives, it becomes a major concern. It focuses on General Anxiety Disorder and how it can be treated.
From the Paper
"Generalized Anxiety Disorder is more common than most people think, in fact, it is estimated that 3-4% of the nation?s population suffers from some degree of this disorder . Whereas a healthy individual may only feel stress for short periods of time, those affected by GAD often experience stress and anxiety for much longer periods of time, at a greater intensity. Some affected by GAD go through every waking hour in a state of worry. They tend to excessively dwell on situations that are occurring in their everyday lives. They are constantly envisioning the ?worst case? scenarios of their actions, which leaves them timid and often unstable."

From the Paper
"To ascertain the relative value of medication combined with traditional group therapy vs. cognitive therapies alone in treating generalized anxiety disorder, two groups of young to middle-aged groups were initiated. Each group began with four members, drawn from clients of an Employee Assistance Program; all had developed generalized anxiety disorder after being transferred or otherwise coming under the supervision of various types of ineffective, antisocial, overbearing or micromanaging bosses. All of the participants were looking for other employment, but all had to cope with the situation as is in the meantime; with a soft job market, none expected to be able to wait it out without help and also, many had expressed a need to overcome the anxiety to make the job search possible."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Killing Time" written by Gad Heuman. It describes how, in 1865, a few hundred Afro-Jamaican farmers and sugar workers advanced on Morant Bay, in retaliation for the way they had been treated politically, socially and economically, regardless that slavery had been abolished many decades earlier. The paper describes the events as set out in the book.
From the Paper
"According to Heuman, the 1865 rebellion came in large part as the culmination of grievances after the 1834 emancipation had led to ultimate freedom. The black majority still had unequal access to farmland, high taxes, unemployment, low pay and supervision primarily by white management personnel. Many of the African-Jamaicans were involved with the Great Revival that had encouraged a lack of credibility in the real outcome of the emancipation as a means of true freedom for the blacks. Many were members of the Native Baptist church, which for a long time had made up many of the judicial staff including judges, attorneys, police, justices of the peace and clerks for the parish affairs."

Abstract
This paper reviews Gad Horowitz's book, Canadian Labour in Politics, focusing specifically on the argument Horowitz makes concerning why labor plays a critical role in Canadian politics, but not in U.S. politics. It reviews the argument Horowitz makes concerning Louis Hartz's view of liberal societies. It considers Horowitz's claim that labor is important because Canadian society evolved out of a tradition wherein government is seen -- even by conservatives -- as having an important role to play. It looks at the impact Horowitz's argument has had on politicians and academics.
From the Paper
"In his book Canadian Labour in Politics, Gad Horowitz, provides an analysis of the labor movement's influence on Canadian political life. He discusses the means by which Canada's labor unions have entered the political system as a vital and enduring force -- a force that does not stand outside politics as merely another interest group attempting to gain notice, but as an integrated party crucial to the very political fabric of the society. His work in this book is seminal to the understanding of cultural and social forces that allow labor to be a primary driver of the nation's politics."

Abstract
Anxiety disorders are a varied and complicated set of physical and psychological problems that affect more than twenty million Americans. This paper examines these disorders, which include general anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorders, and phobias. It shows how these can often exert a disabling influence upon the individual?s life, and disrupt his or her personal and social interactions. Treatments are discussed which focus upon helping the individual to identify and understand the irrationality of their anxiety, and to assist them in facing up to their fears.
From the Paper
"Anxiety is, ?one of the main motivating forces in much of human behavior? (Beck & Emery, 1985, p. 13), and is a normal reaction to a threatening object or situation. It produces a wide range of physiological and psychological effects that are often described as preparing the body for primitive ?fight or flight?. These symptoms result from the increased amount of adrenaline that is produced by the sympathetic nervous system, which causes an increase in the heart and respiration rate, the raising of blood pressure, and the contraction of blood vessels in the skin and intestines as blood is diverted to the heart, lungs and muscles (P.H.R., 1997). Although these reactions are appropriate when faced with incidents of threat or danger, if this level of anxiety continues after the threat has been removed, or if no real threat exists, these physical and psychological symptoms can lead to the development of anxiety disorders."

Abstract
This paper examines how women have been traditionally excluded from models of economic development and how their roles were always secondary, as a means of facilitating men?s contributions to the economy. It discusses how, as many economies began to industrialize, many theorists began to explore the link between development and women?s issues. It reviews four different approaches, Women in Development (WID), that hold that poverty and oppression were caused by the lack of access of marginalized groups in the economy, Women and Development (WAD), which believes that women were always part of the economy, Gender and Development (GAD), which believes that the goal should be to recruit both men and women as full participants in decision-making and The Women, Environment and Development (WED) approach that looks at the link between the oppression of women and the degradation of the environment. These different approaches are outlined and reviewed as well as compared and contrasted. The paper also discusses the topics of structural adjustment programs and women and gender relations in the household.
From the Paper
"For the most part, the division of labor in the household has remained constant. Women traditionally worked in the domestic sphere. Married women continue to perform all or most of the household tasks, even when they are working. The reasons for this continued division appear to be cultural. For example, even men who help out in the home may still be reluctant to help in tasks that have been labeled as feminine or non-masculine, such as laundry and cooking."
