Introduction

Aboriginal women undergo a lot of distress as victims in a typical Canadian society. They are discriminated against and fall victims of sexism, racism and domestic violence. The Canadian justice system has not been at par either, to offer them any form of protection from these assaults. Noticeably, Aboriginal women are the ones commonly affected, for instance, they compose the highest percentage in the prison systems than their fellow counterparts. Across the various communities in Canada, a common fact stands out, that the plight of the Aboriginal women must be given priority, in all facets of the society, from the social to ...

Response to Journal Articles

Article: Chicken Hips
1. Central Theme: In Chicken Hips, Catherine Piggott explores the concept of cultural construction of beauty. From Piggott’s story, it is clear that the Gambian people consider women to be beautiful when they have broad hips, swinging breasts and round thighs (paragraph 17). The Gambians despise thin–bodied women, which explains the nickname given to the author (chicken hips) due to her slender body. The people also celebrate being fat, and it does not bother them to have large portions of food in their meals (paragraph17). This is a stark contrast to the culture in ...

ENERGY RELATIONS

Introduction
The US and Canada have been supporter and challenger, associate and adversary, foe and friend- throughout their history. As a result, the two nations have experienced durations of conflict with one country’s national interests dictating actions that caused adverse effects on the other (Behiels and Stuart 2010; Andreas 2013). Since the 1980s, however, the two nations have increased their energy relations through integration and cooperation (Hooper and Newlands 2012). As such, significant issues have often been resolved through negotiated compromise. Nonetheless, some US-Canada trade relations have been unsuccessful. For example, although the two nations are widely known ...

Abstract

Human sex trafficking involves recruiting, abhorring and transportation of people for the purposes of using their sexual services for monetary benefits.

Literature review

Essentially information is always intended to reach a large audience presented by the assorted mass media platforms such as print media, broadcast media and outdoor media. This enables us to identify with the notion that there are both negative and positive impacts of the mass media to our lives. In particular, this particular paper will focus on how mass media has affected teen girls in our modern day society (Gullotta, et.al, 2005). Mass media has since developed in the contemporary times making its impacts more apparent that never before. Arguably, though mass media affects all of us in the same ...

A brief review

Abstract
Recidivism rates are very instrumental in the policy making, offender incarceration and treatment. However when these rates are surrounded by uncertainty and are lacking, these rates do more harm than good. This is truer in sexual crimes, particularly in child molestations. While criminological literature emphasizes low recidivism rates for sexual criminals, the public fueled by media, consider it otherwise. Nonetheless recidivism rates are high for child molesters among the sexually offending group. Even among child molesters, there is much difference between the intra-familial and extra-familial groups too. Framework models and tools help specialists in identifying individuals with ...

Similarities and Differences of Two Articles

Similarities
The studies written by Aljifri and Moustafa (2007, pp. 71-93), and Stanwick and Stanwick (2010, pp. 35-41) have striking similarities. Both studies have comparable general objectives, in that both focused on determining corporate governance in its impact on the performance of firms. Both studies, being empirical in nature, focused not on single firms, but on their specific markets. Aljifri and Moustafa (2007, p. 72) focused on the case of the firms in UAE, while Stanwick and Stanwick (2010, p. 36-37) studied firms in Canada. Furthermore, both Aljifri and Moustafa (2007, pp. 72-73) ...

Coe, (2016) in her article looks how four children are risk taking and how they deal with risk at an early year’s program that is nature located in Canada Ontario. Her research work is pegged on the inherent drive and natural curiosity in children to explore their immediate surroundings. Furthermore, the scarcity of information on risk and nature based learning in Canada forms the basis of this study. However, the major undoing of the research work is that the small number of study participants in the conducted study together with the sampling methodology used predisposes the study to ...

Executive Summary

Globalization has allowed people to move from their native homes in search for greener pastures and better living standards in foreign countries such as the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates. One of the population that has gone global is the Desi population that is originally from Asia: India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. People from these countries share a common history and culture because the three countries were in the past one.

Introduction

The use of marijuana as a drug or a form of medical treatment in the rehabilitation of patients with a wide range of disorders has long been a controversial topic. Some countries in the continent of Europe have already accepted the researched fact that marijuana, either for medical or leisure purposes, does not pose any real and direct threat towards the person using it. Majority of the countries in other continents, on the other hand, still have not accepted the idea. Policies regarding the use of marijuana for medical purposes vary from one state to another. It is therefore important to know the ...

Introduction

Healthcare involves the collaboration of various medical organizations, institutions, and providers, all of whom manage their own data under different storage and retrieval systems, and though practical and efficient within the target system, there is a lack of uniformity in structure across other systems (Masud et al. 2012). Moreover, there are often variations in data compiled from the same resources. This lack of synergy between the various data storage systems, and the types of information stored, preclude the sharing of data among the various healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations. E-health systems, on the other hand, allow the storage and retrieval ...

Background

Everyone feels hunger especially when there is not much food left to eat. This is a common scenario in third world and developing countries. At some point, hunger could also be seen even in developed and industrialized countries such as the U.S, Japan, and other prosperous countries in Europe. Whenever one feels hunger, it simply means that it is time to eat. But what if there is simply not enough food to eat or worse, there is nothing to eat at all? In that case, that person’s body, although still starving, will try to compensate by turning the body’ ...

Literature is often touted as one of the best weapons that bring out a change in society. The novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin that was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe can perhaps help explain that because it is a piece of work that brought out the evils of the 19th century with regard to slavery and the unequal treatment of African Americans in the United States. The protagonist of the story, Uncle Tom, is sold from the Shelby farm to a slave trader and down the Mississippi River, he sails a way in a riverboat. During his days on ...

However, there are also groups stressing that increasing of regulation for private gun ownership and sales would not be enough since crime continues to increase. ...

It is not a secret that women are a marginalized community. Even in the twenty first century, women get paid less than men for identical work. All around the world, giving birth to a girl child is rarely celebrated in the same victorious vein as that of a male baby. The United States often referred to as the super power of the world, is yet to produce a female president. These are only a handful of examples of women occupying subordinate positions in relation to men. Unfortunately, however, this marginalization is only the beginning of a downward spiral. The ...

While the literature and interest in bilingualism in education in the Middle East remains new, it is widely practiced across the world either by design or by a complete accident. Many literatures ignore or only mention the Middle East in passing, possibly due to the perception that the Arab world homogenously used Arabic, and are even hostile against English, French, Germany and others. Karmani (2005) and Karmani and Pennycook (2005) in Gallagher (2011) deconstruct the evolution of rhetoric and attitudes towards English, which was inevitably associated with the US activities in the Arab world, besides the perceptions that is is a ...

Public disturbance is actions that violate public order or moral or other behaviour that is interpreted as a threat to the normal routine of life of the society. Examples of such crimes are prostitution, pornography, gambling, vagrancy, public drunkenness and drug use. Often these disorders are called “crimes without victims” because they are difficult to accurately identify the victims of violations (C. Bartol & A. Barol, 2016).
Latest statistics show that almost 80% of crimes are committed while intoxicated. Public disturbance under the influence of alcohol unfortunately occurs quite often. Control over one's own behaviour is reduced; the person is ...

Heart valve surgery is used for the repairing or replacement of valves of the heart that are diseased. The patients receive general anesthesia in this type of surgery whereby the surgeon makes a large surgical incision in the breastbone. The incision is meant to enable the surgeon to reach the aorta and the heart (Kato Paragraph 2). The relevance of stroke to the procedure of open-chest valve surgery is that it is one of the risks associated with cardiac surgery. Other risks include death, failure of the kidneys, cardiac arrest, irregular beats of the heart, and post-pericardiotomy syndrome (Kato ...

Researchers may apply diverse methods to collect data for investigating suicide in transgendered people. Bauer, Scheim, Pyne, Travers and Hammond (2015) used Trans PULSE respondent-driven sampling (RDS) survey to collect research data on intervenable factors linked to suicide risks. Their research was based on a hypothesis the suicide among transgendered people was high at 43% over a lifetime. The researchers argued that demographic variations participated in influencing the suicide risk and sought to determine the protective factors and intervenable risks. In a bid to evidence these assumptions, the researchers performed a study based on the populous community of Canada ...

Oral health presents a significant public health problem that affects every group in the human population. Typically, children with poor oral health tend to show an undesirable oral health outcome throughout their childhood and adulthood because people are constantly susceptible to the development of dental caries during their lifetimes (Kawashita, Kitamura, & Saito, 2011). Past investigations have reported that oral health is linked to numerous health issues. Dental caries in childhood, for instance, increases the risk of comorbid maladies like cardiovascular disease and diabetes (Kawashita et al., 2011). The World Health Organization (2015) recognizes the significant impact of oral health ...

Cigarette smoking is one of the favorite trends not only in American society, but in every civilization around the world. Despite the fact that smoking has almost become a part of the American tradition; this habit should be discouraged and even banned in order to promote safety of the nation’s stakeholders. Thus, this paper seeks to identify and evaluate the varied reasons that would justify the banning of cigarette smoking. Several literature suggest that while America is a democratic country that supports its citizen’s freedom, the government must limit such freedom when practices like smoking destroys the life of ...

Introduction

Risk assessment tools are employed for the purposes of identifying and managing the people at risk of certain tendencies that may be harmful to them. Some risk assessment tools have been developed as a consequence of determining the behaviors of individuals and their propensities to cause harm or disrupt the peace in certain jurisdictions. In the recent past, more than a hundred and twenty risks assessment researchers have established tools. Their validity and viability have been proven in dealing with psychiatric cases across various societies. The two articles chosen for this study focus on various dimensions of the assessment, yet all ...

Introduction

The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013). As such, because of the industrial revolution, classes emerged. In this regard, the classes that emerged comprised of those of the rich and those people who worked for them. However, since then different forms of stratification emerged in the society. Examples of such stratifications or classes are the ones based on gender, race, age, and religion (Bartos & Wehr, 2002). Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people viewing ...

Tricyclic antidepressants vs Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment of Depression

In recent decades, SSRIs have become the first-choice treatment for depression. The efficacy and acceptability, as well as cost-efficiency of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are studied by many researchers. Most of scholars agree that the both classes of antidepressants are almost equally efficient (Marton, 2003.) According to Marton (2003), a small trend towards greater efficacy of TCAs was found when the outcome was measured in terms of depression scales, and towards SSRIs – in terms of global impression scores.
But Faravelli and colleagues (2003) argue that in most studied cases, ...

A lot of technologies, gadgets, and devices being introduced today require the use of an individual’s vision, among other things such as hand to eye coordination, a perfectly working sense of hearing, and of course, the ability to understand how the device works and to actually manipulate it.

(i) Tree Tree (Arbole, arbole) by Kenneth Koch.

Color is a valuable resource in education especially if it comes in the form of pictures. Colors add to the attraction in learning and establishing the relevance and significance of learning. This poem, written in both Spanish and English, is an example of how bilingual language can be used in learning and teaching. I chose this poem as a resource since I felt that there is a dreamy use of color in it that initiates a sense of magic. This looks appealing in learning especially to children. The purpose of this resource is to heighten the sense of sound and color among students ...

A person’s lip shape holds much more importance than being a mere facial feature. Older studies of Petajan et al. and more recent works of Daubias , Goecke , and Nakata & Ando , have shown that the movement of the mouth plays a crucial role in speech detection.
