Can't We All Just Get Along?: Competition
.... the “head honcho”. To do this these
workers must compete with each other ( although not a conventional “direct
competition” ) to gain the praise of their supervisor; thus increasing their
chances of moving forward.
Next, look at the way a cooperative nation would operate. The entire
system of employment, money, education, etc. would have to be completely
revamped. Instead of trying to surpass someone at something, you would help
that person come to your level. Everyone would have an equal opport .....

Canada's Immigration From 1852-1990
.... short growing season and very
high cost of shipping the grains. This lack of rain caused many Canadians to
immigrate to the U.S. for a better life. Not very attractive to immigrants to
Canada.
Around the beginning of the 1900s the economy was boosted by the increasing need
for Canadian food products. Europe had a large population explosion and tax
increase caused more and more to move to Canada. With the construction of the
CPR it was much easier to go west and settle the land which was cheap or free. .....

Charles Darwin And Imperialism
.... a great
number of political policies and social movements. England at the turn of the
century was still a largest power in the international system. The English
perceived, through the justification of Darwinism, they were fit to be the
imperial hegemon in the world. The issue this essay will deal with is
Imperialism and how Darwinism justified its practice. Darwin argued in his work,
The Decent of Man, "When civilised nations come into contact with barbarians
the struggle is short except where a dea .....

Child Labour
.... issue of child labour on a national scale, at
least from a Canadian perspective, is one that is quite limited. Much of this
has to do with the fact that a significant amount of powerful legislation and
enforcement of this legislation is available. For example, the Ontario
Employment Standards Act states that individuals under the age of 18 must be
paid a minimum of $6.40 per hour1. Furthermore, through the Ontario Occupational
Health and Safety Act, regulations have been created which allow for a minimum

for federal and state office. In other words, if you were a military or
political leader for the Confederate States of America, than you can't hold any
United States, or individual state office. This is punishment to those leaders
of the Confederacy who have committed an act of treason. This is a suitable
punishment for these people who are not suited to hold any office.
Paragraph 4 states that debts incurred in aid of rebellion are void.
This drastically hurts the people who su .....

The Doctrine Of Fascism
.... in Europe. The national
aspirations of many European peoples nations without states, peoples
arbitrarily assigned to political entities with little regard for custom or
culture had been crushed after World War I. The humiliation imposed by the
victors in the Great War, coupled with the hardship of the economic
Depression, created bitterness and anger. That anger frequently found its
outlet in an ideology that asserted not just the importance of the nation, but
its unquestionab .....

Government Funding For The Arts

Shouldn't we be able to show feats just as grand?
Most Americans do agree with me. In 1992, a study called the "Americans

* 60% of the people support the federal support of the arts.
* 63% of the people support the state's support of the arts.

times of a nation.

Government Regulation
.... regulatory agencies have spent
billions of dollars and there is little evidence that the world is any better
off than it was without the agencies and costly reforms. When reading further
ask yourself the question, does the costs or regulation out weigh the benefits,
I believe they do not.
Regulatory programs normally are started by a group of people with a
single interest and pressure the government and people to believe that there is
a major crisis, creating panic to an alleged problem. When th .....

Gun Control

to keep and bear arms without government interference. gun control advocates
seem ready and eager to disregard this right which is currently being exercised
by 70 million Americans. (METSKA)
I believe that the governments struggle to keep guns out of the hand of
juveniles and criminals is a worthy one, but when it comes to unconstitutional
interrogation then its getting out of control. The government is currently
trying to implement laws that will keep weapons out of the hands of every one.

Gun Control: Overview
.... This ban was repealed by
the House of Representatives. On march 22, 1996 another big legislation in the
fight against guns was the Brady bill, which demands a 5 day waiting period for
all handgun purchases. These legislation's are some what effective and in
different ways. The only real way to eliminate most gun violence is to eliminate
the availability of guns. Surely making guns illegal would do this but this
raises a very important issue.
If you outlaw guns, only the outlaws will have guns. Simply put, .....

stored properly, by means of a cabinet or trigger lock. Under the proposed law,
police officials can enter a premises without consent if they suspect an illegal

most people make a decision on only what they are told.
