Abstract
The paper examines Arthur Ray's text "When Two Worlds Met" and shows how it is illuminating in that it challenges many preconceived notions about the relationship between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history. The paper highlights the main impression of Ray's text that without the participation and contribution of the Aboriginal populations to the fur trade, the country that we know today as Canada would simply not exist.
From the Paper
"It should be noted that given its purpose as a general history text, oriented more towards the descriptive presentation of historical information rather than the arguing of a particular contention or scholarly thesis, this work is not thesis-driven as such. This being said, it may be argued that Ray's objective in the text is to depict the complexity of the contacts between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history. Indeed, perhaps the most striking feature of Ray's work is how his work challenges many preconceived notions with regard to the relationship between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history."

"How I Met My Husband", 2005.
A review of the book "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro.

Abstract
This paper discusses the story, "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro. It looks at how the story's central character is Edie, who serves as the narrator of her life and the telling of how she inadvertently met her future husband. It discusses her perspective on the world, as well as how her language determines the type of character she is and how that character perceives the world around her.
From the Paper
"Alice Munro's story, "How I Met My Husband" is told from the perspective of the narrator, Edie. Edie determines the style of the story by discussing the elements of her life from a young girl of fifteen, and as a woman. She recants tales of those that she has known, and of the man that she believed she deeply loved. Edie relates her life from the viewpoint of an innocent child that was raised in poverty, was uneducated, and saw life from a simplistic perspective. In this manner the story is, therefore, influenced by Edie's view of the world, and how she perceived the things, and people in it. This is evident as Edie discusses her former home in which the house was lit with oil lamps, and leaks were plugged with rags (Munro ). "

"When Harry Met Sally": A Study of Modern Day Romance, 2007.
A psychological analysis of marriage as an institution in American culture as depicted in the film "When Harry Met Sally".
2,397 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "When Harry Met Sally" is a romantic comedy that reaffirms hope in modern relationships and marriage by showing the changing cultural attitude of man-woman relationships, and the reliance on unity through friendship. It looks at how the film is borne of a time period that has been sharply critical of the marital institution and acts as a remedy, or seems to want to offer a panacea for the crippled and confused state of the marital institution.
From the Paper
"One of the first devices in the film is the treatment of outside narrators used directly in the plot. The opening scene is an elderly couple sitting on a couch together as they provide a brief account of how they met, fell in love, and got married. The elderly couples supplying their brief accounts of marital life reappear several times within the film in a sequence that is spaced intermittently between the rest of the narrative. The elderly married couples do not play any key role in the main narrative itself, but are imported for the purpose of contributing to the understanding of the story. One of the main purposes these outside narrators serve in the film is to provide the viewer with different or alternating perspectives on marriage."

?Mr. Deeds Goes to Town? and ?When Harry Met Sally?, 2006.
A review and comparison of the movies "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and "When Harry Met Sally".
1,950 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 0 sources, $ 62.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and the 1989 movie "When Harry Met Sally", examining their historical, contextual and social significance. As the author says, the classic film and the contemporary blockbuster may appear to have little in common. However, the paper shows that both movies relate to feelings of worthlessness that result from the inability to fulfill societal expectations and adhere to cultural norms during particular eras in history.
From the Paper
"In the time of The Great Depression, when "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" was released, men spiraled into despair, some to the point of committing suicide, because the stock market crash left them unable to fulfill their historical role as a family provider. Comparably, in the modern age of "When Harry Met Sally" both men and women often feel worthless and dejected because they are unable to fulfill their contemporary role as spouse/parent/successful career-person. In both cases, these issues are presented through characters that embody these doleful emotions in a way that anyone who has ever experienced them can soulfully relate."

Marketing the Met, 2004.
A discussion about methods that could increase ticket sales and the popularity of the Metropolitan Opera.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Metropolitan Opera is currently going through a phase of low turnout and unpopularity among the younger generation. The paper provides a few suggestions for a way to increase popularity and a few marketing techniques, which could assist in this endeavor.
From the Paper
"Other good news for opera?s potential is that audiences for opera have been increasing steadily for the past two decades. Opera America notes that, between 1982 and 1992, opera audiences grew by almost 25 percent, which is 12.5 percent greater than the growth experienced in any other art form. Better still, the median age of attendees dropped slightly, form 45 to 44 years of age. (Boiarsky, 2004) Still, that is not exactly a youth audience; to the children of the Baby Boom, that means the audience for opera is still a bunch of ?Gray Hairs.? And, on another negative note, growth in opera attendance among 8- to 24-year-olds was significantly lower than overall growth at 18 percent, meaning that some other group?and older group?increased its attendance by more than 25 percent- (a good deal more) to reach that magic number. Still, the increase for opera attendance in that age group surpasses the increases for other art forms; nearly a third of the U.S. opera audience, in fact, is under age thirty-five."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the painting, ?Composition with Red Yellow and Blue? c. 1922 by Piet Mondrian and attempts to bring a sense of purpose to the painting and instill the reader with a sense of appreciation for the message that Mondrian imparts through his art. He concludes by examining the September 11th attacks in relation to Mondrain?s art and contends that Mondrain would have regarded it as surreal.
From the paper:
?Mondrian believed that artistic expression should be found in the abstraction of form and color and that his use of vertical and horizontal lines would express the perfect harmony between these two extremes?.

WTO in Seattle, 2002.
A look at the failure of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations in Seattle, Washington in 1999.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines critically the disagreements over international trade issues which led to the failure of the trade negotiations at the November 30-December 3, 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle, Washington. It discusses how the 134 trade ministers who met in Seattle failed to agree on further liberalization of the global trading system because of substantive differences among the developed nations and between them and the less developed countries (LDCs) over a wide range of issues. It analyzes how the anti-WTO demonstrations, marches and sporadic violence outside the convention center where delegates to the WTO conference met did not cause those disagreements, but how the debacle in Seattle reflected the growing political strength of the forces of economic nationalism which has arrested progress toward further reduction in international trade barriers.
From the Paper
"One reason the conference failed was that it was hastily arranged without pre-agreement among any of the participants even as to the items to be placed on the agenda of the conference. The term of the previous director general of WTO, an Italian, Renato Ruggiero, ended on April 30, 1999. Between then and September a debilitating struggle over his successor ensued. Japan and most Third World members supported the candidacy of Thai Supachai Pantichpakdi while the United States and the European Union (EU) favored Michael Moore, a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, who was ultimately selected, but did not take office until after September 1. The Economist said that "preparations for Seattle started later and little common ground was found." Barchefsky was preoccupied with the WTO negotiations with the PRC and other trade disputes."

Globalization of the Hospitality Industry, 2005.
Examines the need to cater for the world traveller in a globalized era.

Abstract
In terms of the hospitality industry, the global consumer is defined as the traveler who frequently travels outside of his or her own country, to varied destinations over the world. The Euro consumer on the other hand is the traveler who makes use of hospitality facilities primarily within Europe. The paper shows the fact that the travel industry and information technology has made world travel much less complicated than in the past, has given rise to the need to globalize the hospitality industry as well. The requirements for this, as well as the extent to which these requirements have been met, are discussed in this paper.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Finance and Accounting
Treasury Management
Customer Relationships
Purchasing and Vendor Relationships
Information Technology
Communication
Human Resources
Owner Issues
Bibliography
From the Paper
"In terms of the global market, there is also a need to differentiate products and other facilities within hospitality resorts. Food and beverage products are the most critical factors for success, and the need for global catering here is obvious. There is, for example, a growing demand for all-inclusive resorts. Hotels have therefore found it increasingly necessary to consolidate their resources in order to become a greater success in the global market. Globalization as a trend in all businesses has thus affected the hospitality industry as well. It is not envisioned that regional companies who do not cater to the global need will find survival easy."

The Crusades, 2007.
Examines the influence that the Crusaders had on European and world history.
2,214 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Crusades refers to a series of nine separate military campaigns, which took place during the Middle Ages, and were generally considered to be religious in nature. The paper shows that when the Crusades began, they were a Roman Catholic effort against the Muslims and were aimed at recapturing the Holy Land. However, later Crusades were directed against other Europeans. The paper argues that the only Crusade that accomplished its stated goal was the First Crusade. While later Crusades met with varying success, they also created a strong anti-West sentiment in much of the world.
From the Paper
"In fact, the First Crusade was characterized by a tremendous religious fervor. Not only were the Crusaders set to attack the Muslim occupants of Jerusalem, but they also violently attacked non-Christians on their way to the Holy Land. For example, Jews were massacred by mobs of Crusaders passing through Europe and Orthodox Christians were subjected to violence by Western Christians. However, these Crusaders were successful in reaching Jerusalem. Once there, they massacred the state's Muslim population. The First Crusade was the only successful Crusade, because the Crusaders achieved their objective, which was to recapture the Holy Land."

Global Health Care, 2004.
This paper reviews six global health care journal articles, each one specific to an individual topic about variations and trends in health care around the world.
6,500 words (approx. 26.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 149.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that after a country attains a certain economic level, the degree to which an individual receives good health care is determined by other factors, including poverty, which is present even in the wealthiest societies. The author points out that Canada?s health care is superior to that in the United States, offers more flexibility, and should be used as a model for the United States. The paper relates that the U.S. and other countries are facing challenges to funding national health care; however, in other countries, these challenges are often met through incentives and additional taxation, which is largely opposed in the United States.
Table of Contents
Broad Topic - Variations and Trends in Health and Disease around the World
Topic - Canada?s Health Care and How it Differs from the U.S.
Topic - Dynamics of Different Health Care Systems
Topic - Functioning of Different Health Care Systems
Topic - Global Impact of Various Health Care Systems
Topic - China Health Care and Its Global Impact
From the Paper
"More specifically Martens attempts to define global and regional dynamics that might influence health and disease trends. He concludes that managing health variations and transition effectively in the future will require ?a micro and macro approach? that takes into consideration the social, cultural and behavioural determinants of health. In his work Martens claims that socio-economic change and public health initiatives as well as technology have contributed to a shift in health and disease toward the positive. To support this premise he points out that the average life expectancy is doubled across the globe and infant and mortality rates have sharply declined."

Condoleeza Rice, 2005.
This paper is biography of Condoleeza Rice, a remarkable story about the Secretary of State for the United States and arguably the most powerful woman in the world.

Abstract
This paper explains that Condoleeza Rice comes from a family whose heritage was education; great-grandparents on both sides of her family were "house slaves", which allowed them to become literate. The author points out that Rice had already worked in George Bush, Senior's administration; she met George W. Bush II, then the governor of Texas, in 1995, and they immediately became friends as Bush respected her knowledge regarding foreign policy and her love of sports. The paper contends Rice's important political assets are her extensive education and knowledge in her field, which is both academic and rooted in the real world, and her ability to formulate opinion based on changing circumstances.
From the Paper
"While at Stanford, Rice met a man who would significantly influence her career: Brent Scowcroft, who became President George Bush's National Security Advisor in 1989. Once he had that position, he contacted Rice and asked her to take a leave of absence from Stanford so she could work with him, which she did for two years. Her knowledge as an expert on the U.S.S.R. was valued by the first Bush administration. She ended up serving under Scowcroft and on the National Security Council, where her expertise was valued. It was a time of great change in Eastern Europe and the Soviet: Germany reunified, Baltic states separated from the U.S.S.R., and the U.S.S.R. itself was on borrowed time. Rice understood the paradox and the dangers of a great power on the verge of collapse."

Is the Cleaning Service Important to You?
What Are the Reasons That You Do Not Use Cleaning Service?
From the Paper
"Research gathering is helpful to locate the target market. Gathering and analyzing information are important to find the best probable answer for this business; how to grow. Without research, the business owner would not be able to make intelligent and logical decisions. Marketing strategy is very important to grow the business. The 4Ps of marketing: Product (cleaning service), price (how much the service will cost), place (identify the target market) and promotion (advertising type) are the key to achieving these goals. A solid investment in consistent, relatively intense advertising can get the business to an outstanding weekly sales volume. It is very important for an owner of a cleaning business to know who he/she is and what gets him/her excited. This will help the business owner reach his/her goals."

Abstract
This paper compares two stories, "How I met my husband" and "Shame" by Dick Gregory. The essay focuses on the comparison of the main characters in the two stories. The essay argues that both stories are about the coming of age of the two main protagonists, one female and one male, who are similar in several ways. The paper portrays how in both stories the main characters have negative experiences, learn important lessons about themselves and life, and grow up in the process. The paper points out that both of the stories are told in the first person narrative from the perspective of an older, much wiser and mature person reminiscing about their past and their youth.
