Abstract
This paper looks at Victory Square Park, a corner of land bordered in between West Hastings and West Pender Street in Vancouver. It examines how the location was once famous for being Vancouver's provincial courthouse which was torn down between 1911 and 1916 and reopened on West Georgia Street in the building now known as the Art Gallery. It discusses how the area is historic in great part because of its location, how it contains the war memorial the Cenotaph and how it was once the heart of the city's financial and legal activity. The paper also includes photos of the Square.

From the Paper
"However, the Square is famous for much more than the Cenotaph. It was once the heart of the city's financial and legal activity: the Vancouver curb exchange operated across the road on Hastings Street; the Inns of Court structure, a rather rustic looking building next to what was once called Courthouse Square, was the centre for adjutant legal services; the Oddfellows Hall (now called the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Hall) was stationed south of the Inns of Court; most of the city's major banks were headquartered around the Square; the city's shopping district was positioned along nearby Hastings Street; to the south of the Square was the Central School (now Vancouver College); the city's main hospital stood nearby; and before the Courthouse's demolition major newspapers such as The Province, Sun and Dominion were set up around the periphery, though they no longer operate in this location today."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the significant aspects of Nathan Phillip's Square that could be improved are directly related to the success of Times Square as an urban center that has applied the use of open space, but with a greater accessibility to consumers that would increase economic growth. The paper shows how by understanding the signature buildings in both of these squares, new developments could be made to make Nathan Square reflect a symbolic democracy by its openness and transparency.

Abstract
This paper explores the argument that the Tiananmen Square Massacre constituted an international crime and furthermore that it constituted genocide. This paper argues that it was not genocide and that it was not even an international crime, in the sense of a crime that impacts all humanity. Rather, it was a domestic response to a domestic situation. The paper claims that it was certainly a questionable response. However, it was an internal Chinese situation, not an international crime.

Abstract
Ocean park stands as one of Hong Kong's most popular theme parks. This essay discusses the operations of Ocean Park and its business model. It looks at the changes that have taken place in the last five years with the development of the Disney theme park. This piece was written with a business standpoint in mind to discuss such things as advantages, strategies, competition, and more.

Outline:
Introduction
The Theory
Opportunities and Threats
Contextual and Transactional Environments
Competitive Advantages / Core Competencies
Recommendation
Conclusion

From the Paper
"In recent years, Ocean Park's monopoly position has left them complacent. Given the relatively shortage (and consequently high price) of land in Hong Kong, the arrival of any competition must have at one point seemed unlikely. That the competition is in the form of the world leader in the industry means that Ocean Park is going to have to improve in almost every area of its business. More importantly, Ocean Park needs to determine what competitive advantages it has, so that it may leverage those against Disney. This paper will undertake an analysis of Ocean Park, paying special attention to how the company competes today and how it can compete in a post-Disney world.
The situation is not entirely dire for Ocean Park. The park they operate is sufficiently differentiated from that of Disney that there is probably room for both competitors in the marketplace. For Ocean Park, however, they are facing an immediate threat to their revenue streams. Action must be taken now in order to put Ocean Park in a position to compete with Disney."
