Minority Immigrants Living in Poverty: Education and Employment Factors (Canadian Studies Highlighted)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing minority immigrants living in poverty and the relation to education and employment. Within the last decade, increasing high levels of poverty have been recorded in the minority and recent immigrant populations in Canada and the United States. In Canada, recent immigrants make up over 52% of those under the poverty line in urban areas. Traditionally, immigrants coming into Canada whether skilled or unskilled laborers reached the average Canadian income in less than 10 years after their arrival. Educated immigrants previously had attained average or above income. Within the last 10 years however, this has not been the case and educated and professional immigrants are among the poorest population group in Canada along with the uneducated minority immigrants. Part of this is because it had been felt that due to the decline in the labor market, employers do not recognize the foreign credentials of immigrants but many critics also believe that discrimination plays a large part as well. Educational programs within Canada and the United States tend to focus on overcoming the language barrier firstly in addition to upgrading any educational or occupational labor skills. Regardless of the awareness of increased need in this area, many researchers still agree that the greatest barrier for most minority immigrants is racism which unless overcome will continue to reflect in an unequal representation of immigrant groups in poverty.

Moral and Legal Responsibility Against Drinking and Driving
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the moral and legal responsibility and the campaigns against drinking and driving. As drinking and driving continues to take many lives on an annual basis, two different formats are being used to control drinking and driving in Canada and the United States. From a legal perspective, stricter laws are being advocated to try and deter and punish people from drinking and driving. Perhaps more effective campaigns however, are those which have targeted the moral responsibility of drinking. Harm reduction programs, moderation management and public awareness are now becoming more prominent in regards to a person’s moral and social responsibility to use self-control and moderation when drinking in order for the protection of the individuals and others in society. Provincial alcohol boards and some alcohol distributors are now promoting the moral obligations and choices people must make when they drink. In addition, many believe that the laws reflect the moral and values of the population even though they may conflict with images of irresponsibility which are often promoted as well. In the case of hard core drinkers who seemed unaffected by moral responsibility campaigns, stricter laws are being suggested focusing on the hard core drinker.

Motivational Processes in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing motivational processes and the RCMP. Motivational processes used within corporate structures and within police structures are inherently different. Modern day corporate structures use motivational techniques which are based on rewards and increasing employee satisfaction which could range from increased responsibility, benefits, salary or more direct impact on actions and results of position duties. Within policing organizations however, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Canada, organizations are based on hierarchical structures with a military base. Because of this, the traditional motivation by punishment can still seen in addition to the more recent motivation by reward. Increasingly, the RCMP organization has opened its motivational processes to include many psychological components of job satisfaction which include community participation to allow the members the opportunity to work outside of the traditional structured environment and see how relationships between the RCMP and the community can positively impact law enforcement which in turn motivates the member to succeed and remain with the Force.

Multiculturalism vs. Biculturalism in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages. Canada is well known as being a multi-cultural country. In Quebec there is an official bilingualism of the French and English speaking factions. Any search for a theme to francophone-Anglophone relations must take into account the fact that the francophone community constitutes a cultural minority; today, Francophones comprise only twenty-seven percent of the Canadian population. This paper examines these issues as well as the sovereignty of Canada and the lost battle for the Federalist government. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Old Believers and Cultural Migration
[ send me this paper ]
The fight to retain religious freedom to practice one’s beliefs has been the main reason for war and migration in civilization throughout modern history. Religious autonomy is the reason for most of the conflict in the Middle East that raged for thousands of years and escalated with the formation of the Jewish state following World War II. Separation of countries, peoples and territories along religious lines remains a primary goal of many community leaders and this is no less true for a group of Russian migrants called the raskol'niki, or Old Believers. 1 reference. jvOldBel.rtf

Policing, Police Powers and Police Discretion in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing policing, police powers and police discretion in Canada. The police in Canada follow many administrative guidelines from municipal, provincial and federal levels. The Canadian Criminal Code, the Constitution Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are all balanced in order to allow the police to protect their communities but at the same time allow the citizens their own rights and freedoms. Despite the administrative guidelines under which police powers are maintained, police are given some discretionary powers within their work. In serious investigations, these powers may be increased by a writ of assistance which allows the police to further their investigations with fewer impediments. At the same time, police are also given the discretion to decide not to charge on minor offences where is it seen as unreasonable to expend the resources of the justice system.

Prenatal/Postnatal Health Care for Immigrant Women in Canada: Consideration of the Population Health Promotion Model
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing the prenatal and postnatal health care considerations for immigrant women in Canada. Discussion also includes the population health promotion models. The World Health Organization has designated several high risk populations in regards to health care issues. Among these vulnerable populations are immigrants and women during the prenatal and postnatal stages of child delivery. Immigrant women in Canada make up 30% of the current immigrant population and in addition to cultural and language barriers, these women are also isolated in their community because their movements may be restricted due to child or household responsibilities. Within the last decade, Canada has established many health care centers and programs across the country to meet the health care needs of women immigrants based on population health promotion models which establish communication and interaction within the community in order to determine community needs before activation of an action plan. Nurses within Canada are involved in health promotion from the start of the process to the finish. Nurses are necessary in regards to their medical knowledge in the health care centers but have also expanded their roles to communicators and educators within the community. In addition to medical based opportunities, the increasing number of immigrant health care centers in Canada also provides social education opportunities for the nursing profession as well.

Privatization of Health Care Issues in Canada and Albertans Current Battle
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the current issues involved with the privatization of health care in Canada. Canadians have been slowly absorbing more of personal medical costs within the last decade indicating a slow trend toward a private health care system in Canada. As federal funding decreases toward medicare, the provinces have had to pay for more and more of their medical costs especially in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta which currently have the highest costs per capita in medical care. Provincial governments, especially in Alberta, are slowly leaning toward the idea of privatization in order to decrease the burden placed on their government. Citizens and health organizations however, supported by the Canada Health Act are not interested in abandoning the current public system for fear of increased personal costs, decreased public health care and the possibility of a two-tier system resulting. Instead, they would like to see improvements to the current Canadian public health care systems in areas which currently cost Canadian citizens the most in personal health costs such as medications, home care, long-term care, dental care, physiotherapy in addition to more regimented reporting systems from health care centres and the Canadian government.

Privatization of Hydro Electricity in Ontario
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the recent deregulation and privatization of the Ontario hydro electricity market. Canada’s largest energy producer, the province of Ontario, has begun the process of deregulation and privatization of its energy industry in compliance with the Ontario Energy Competition Act passed in 1998 which gave the energy utilities to their municipalities and the municipalities two years to sell them, recruit private-sector partners or incorporate them. The initiation of the Act was delayed due to opposition and court rulings until May 1, 2002. This delay combined with favouritism found within the Ontario government, amalgamation of municipalities and government waiving of a debt-reducing tax to some of the former components of the energy system has led to a general lack of confidence and commitment of external investors into the Ontario energy market. The Act was meant to promote competition and relieve the province of the massive debt it amassed with the provincial run utility. At this point, time will tell if privatization will benefit the province and the consumer or whether privatization will be a financial nightmare as found in the state of California and the province of Alberta.
