While the concept of race is today clearly recognized as fictitious, the term itself has taken an altogether new reality as a cultural denotation. More specifically, the culture of racism is largely influenced by geopolitical imagination and socio-political antagonism. The new political order referred to as “Empire” is a social frame work that posits “the inferiority of an “Other” based not in biology but in cultural differences and their insurmountability” (Semati, 257). Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

Cost-containing strategies used by the U.S.A The rising cost of healthcare continues to claim a large portion of the United States of America's budget leading to the introduction of cost-containing strategies. One of the costs-containing strategies used by the U.S. health sector is the price option strategy. The price option aims at controlling the amount of money paid to the provider. For example, the introduction of Medicaid and Medicare programs that control the cost of delivering care by reducing the number of allowances paid to providers. Second, the U.S. health sector utilizes the quantity option strategy to contain high ...

Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

Herbicides play a significant role in ensuring healthy growth of plants. In Canada, approximately seventy herbicides are utilized in the forestry sector. They have been used since the nineteen forties. The herbicides assisted in rapid clearance of weeds leading to increased production in the forest sector. However, utilization of these herbicides has adverse effects on wildlife and environment. It is essential to ensure these effects are minimized. This paper gives a summary on the utilization of glyphosate herbicide (Vision). Additionally, it discusses various adverse effects resulting in its utilization. It also provides an examination of the benefits of herbicide ...

The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector falls under the NAICS classification. The sector entails a publicly funded healthcare system. The sector is guided by the provisions of the Canada Health Act of 1984 (Belchetz). The sector, relative to its peers in most other countries including the U.S and Mexico, is unique. Its uniqueness arises from the fact that despite being predominantly publicly funded, most of the healthcare services at the point of sale are provided for by private practitioners. The Canadian healthcare and social assistance sector has been billed in many quarters as a model to be followed ...

Introduction

Contraception as a method of population control has elicited mixed reactions from different quotas of the society. A section of religious conservatives still hold onto it that abstinence and not contraception should be the only approach to population control. On the opposing side, modernists believe that contraception allows is not only effective but also people freedom to reproduce when they wish. Canada is among the few countries on the globe where contraception has been implemented as a legal approach towards population control. In Canada, legalization of contraception was not solely done to curb population explosion but also as a ...

The legalization of Euthanasia is an ethical concern in Canada. Euthanasia refers to the process of medical assistance in dying. It is one of the easiest methods to terminate the life of a person who may be having a terminal illness like cancer and HIV/Aids in their lasts stages. However, some people argue that the individual must be sure that they have to die in the end. Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

Aboriginal peoples and communities are among the first inhabitants of Canada and are thus considered as one of the founders of Canada. Aboriginal peoples already had legal systems and governance structures even before European settlers arrived in Canada. With the advent of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples were forced to either assimilate to the foreign systems and culture or ignore the immigrants and keep their culture. The latter, however, resulted in conflicts between the European settlers and the local Aboriginal communities. Such conflicts were settled through the signature treaties. However, the signing of the agreements did not guarantee that the ...

How does the story of the Ugly Duckling in chapter four of the Pinkola Estes book relate to your OWN values, beliefs, experience and personal/professional understanding as a caring-healing, ethical nurse working with women? I find the story of the Ugly Duckling intriguing and extremely validating for me. The story stresses on not giving up no matter the situation you find yourself in, rather continue pressing on until you realize your goals (Estes, 1992). The story holds so much for me because it is about the journey of self-discovery. We are currently living in a world inhabited by an ...

Introduction

A comparison of engineering licensure and regulation in the United States and Canada reveal critical differences between the two countries. Nonetheless, the licensure and regulation between the two countries converge at the point where government intervention in the profession offer some level of autonomy for engineers in their duty to promote public welfare and consumer protection. It has to be noted that privileges given to engineers in Canada present tremendous responsibility to the players. Besides, state regulation and licensure in the United States gives the state the watchdog powers to oversee the operations of individual engineers and corporate entities ...

Discussion

Post#3: The high added sugar content in snacks, beverages and baby food is a critical health issue, worldwide. The three articles I retrieved from different sources showed the similar information on packaged food that is highlighted in my first post. One article by Chai et al. of Global News cited the quote of Dr. Hammond, “Canadian kids consume 33 tablespoons of sugar” (Chai et al.). According to this, the major concern related to this sugar consumption is the extra supply of sugar to the body that may lead to obesity and other health problems. Another article authored by Puzic ...

The year of 2016 became critical in means of assisted dying issue for Canadian society, legislators and, of course, health-care professionals. The law, known as Bill C-14 (Chochinov & Frazee, 2016), grants permission for assisted suicide to patients who wish for death. However, certain strict terms condition this permission. The limitation of the patients’ access to the discussed medical service is a widely debated question. Many see it as deficient, sub-optimal, since the law does not assure equal rights to all citizens and far from everybody has access to assisted dying. In general, assisted dying has become legal in Canada, ...

Abstract Overweight and obesity are considered as the problems in which excessive or abnormal fat accumulates in the body that may impair health. Nearly, 13% of the adult population in the world was obese in the year 2014. Moreover, the global prevalence of obesity has increased by more than two times between the years 1980 and 2014. Obesity was once considered as the problem of developed and high-income countries but now the problem has also been found increasing in the middle- and low-income countries, especially in urban settings. It is important to note that some of ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

Introduction

Japan is reported to have the world’s third largest economy, which gives it an essential role in the global community. This calls for the need to understand the Japanese people’s self-concept and how they hold themselves up as individuals and as members of the society. It has been widely established that self-concept is far from being a static perception, rather it is a changeable system which is generally a result of an individual’s social relationships. It is observed that people normally hold a different perception of themselves as individuals, and as a social group member. Consequently, ...

The word culture has been commonly used in the current society. However, it is worth noting its true definition. Biagetti & Lugli (2014) asserts that if one made an inquiry of its meaning from anthropologists whose sole responsibility is studying culture, then it is common knowledge that he would receive a variety of answers from them. Despite the different definitions, most of them put emphasis on same aspects. For this discussion, therefore, the definition of culture will be given. Also, the article will provide its five primary characteristics, and the overview of the physical geography, military conflict and its impact ...

The word "plagiarism" sounds frightening for all the people who at least once faced with the scientific work writing or the creation of some creative products like paintings, for example. Since the word “plagiarism” has only one meaning, the most suitable synonym to it is “stealing”. In other words, if someone`s idea was used by someone else without mentioning the author`s name, it is called plagiarism. It looks simple, but there are still people who do not understand the seriousness of the problem of plagiarism, that is why it is necessary to give some additional explanation on ...

First and foremost, the Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty signed a decade before the confederation promoted Canada’s business ties with America. As Canada’s export to America increased, the Maritime economy prospered. However, the cancellation of the treaty as a result of Canada’s war with America began to threaten the economy of the region. More importantly, I feel the attitude of Canada towards becoming a confederation at the expense of the Maritimes proved detrimental to the economy of the Maritimes. For instance, before the confederation, the Maritime population enjoyed their unlimited economic potential under their British Colonial rulers. After ...

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.

Gender equality is one of the most controversial and complicated issues that have plagued human societies for many years. In fact, the issue regarding gender equality has been an age-old problem that have prevailed even in the contemporary society. The problem in gender equality lies on the concept of equality itself, primarily because the concept of equality is too broad to be explicitly defined. The case of Stella Bliss, for example, is a manifestation that the concept of equality is subjective and depends on the prevailing perception on equality. According to the merits of the case, Stella Bliss, a ...

Part 1: Question A

In order for Canadian organizations to be able to choose a system over another to implement or achieve its strategic human resource management goals, then it must adequately understand the process of strategic management and the strategic human resource planning.

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

Question/Problem Definition

Equal pay is one of the most pertinent issues in labor laws and regulation. Most governments across the globe have institutionalized legislation that aim to safeguard their citizens and ensure that they are well compensated for their talents regardless of their origin, race, gender and other distinguishing characteristics. However, this is not usually the case. In spite of having such laws, the labor market especially the private sector is far from realizing and implementing equal pay. The state is even worse in developing countries where most women employees do not earn even half as much as their male counterparts ...

Learning a foreign language is a slow and progressive effort which requires constant and responsible practice. Independent study is absolutely necessary for progress, and the hours spent in the classroom are not nearly enough in order to achieve fluency. This is particularly true for languages which are considered difficult to master, such as Mandarin. In recent years, Mandarin has become one of the most important foreign languages studied in schools throughout the United States of America. Mastering Mandarin challenges students to a great extent, even though many of them choose to study this language. Consequently, many teachers use the ...

Kaasa, S. (2015). Is Cancer Pain Control Improved by a Simple WHO Pain Analgesic Ladder Approach Combined With Tumor-Directed Treatment?.Journal of Clinical Oncology, JCO647537.

Article summary

This article takes into consideration the role that the WHO analgesic ladder plays in addressing cancer pain in palliative care patients. The authors identify that cancer pain occurs in 90% of cancer patients but only half them are under proper pain management. To this effect, therefore, there is the need for applying opioids under the WHO ladder guidelines as a way of addressing cancer pain in oncology care patients.

This is a narrative qualitative research ...

There are indeed many things that can be done to solve the problem of Environmental Degradation in Canada. In our lecture, there was a list provided and one included in the list is the removal of leaded fuels and replacing it unleaded gasoline. While I think the unleaded gasoline would indeed do better for people, I think there must be more studies on the possible effects of this change. While there are diverse ways on solving environmental issues, experts and the government should decide which ones are the best. In my opinion, simply replacing leaded gasoline is not a ...

Paper 2

Ontario’s HPV Vaccination Program In this paper, I present arguments that are supportive of the ethical inappropriateness of the Ontario government’s HPV vaccination initiative. I also aim at revealing the ineffectiveness of the program as a public health strategy constructed to combat cervical cancer. The program is ineffective in combating cervical cancer because the interventions arising from the screening program poses risks on women and especially the ones of childbearing age. In addition, I will use the utilitarian approach to support my views. In September 2007, the Ontario Liberal Government began a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination ...

Introductory remarks

Alberta oil is one of the largest oil fields in the world. According to Simon Dyer, “The Canadian oil sands are the second largest proven oil reserve after Saudi Arabia” (Dyer, 2009). The commercial development of the Alberta oil sand had begun in the late 1960s. By the time World War I had arrived, and after the war was over, Canada was almost entirely dependent on oil from foreign countries. Canadians, after the war, began to wonder if the nation had any oil resources of their own. This interest led to the creation of the Alberta Research ...
