...assesses the lives of Indian women in the fur trade. The article expresses both the positive and negative aspects of being an Indian woman in the fur trade as well as their motives for marrying European fur traders. The article contributes to our understanding of the fur trade society by focusing on the motives and actions of Indian women in the fur trade which furthers our knowledge of Canadian history prior to confederation. Sylvia Van Kirk used a vast selection of sources when writing the article on the Women in Between. The article references other similar writings of Indian history using various articles, books, journals and bibliographies to gather information and data. This article is referenced in other similar writings as she as well has drawn some excellent conclusions from her own research. Since much of the documented history of Indian women is written by men observing the situation and circumstances it is difficult to determine how viable the sources are. It seems that some of the sources contradict whether the situations of these women were positive or negative or whether they had anything to gain. Some sources explain that many of these women willingly looked for these alliances as their ability to gain higher status in society was superior. Other sources indicate that Indian women, who remained in their own societies, had important roles and significant political and social impact. This article gives a great overview of the lives of Indian women and...

...Running head: Literary review 1 Ray Garcia Dr. Valenzuela CJ 302 11/25/2013 Abstract This year in class we have learned and applied many theories to certain crimes and court cases that have been conducted through the past. In this paper, we will look at two specific theories on how they are being used to explain or discover links between certain situations and factors. These theories allow us to see crimes in different perspective. Specifically, the theory’s in this paper we will explore rational choice theory on labeling and the linkage between arrest and gang membership, social control and differential association in relation to gangs. Each article gives us a study or situation that shows the theory’s effectiveness in explaining certain situations or actions. Gang Membership and Race as Risk Factors for Juvenile Arrest Michael Tapia article piece, “Gang membership and race as risk factor for juvenile arrest” addresses the linkage between arrests and gang membership while also exploring their race and ethnicity in correlation with their gangs. Throughout his research, Tapia shows that “gang members and racial minorities experienced undue arrest”(Tapia, 2011) which can be understood that gang members and minorities, in some cases, are easy targets for arrests because they easily fit the description or label of a law breaker or delinquent. These descriptions that law enforcement and the media portray on these gang members and minorities can eventually...

...the tourism industry and academic researchers is the global independent travel survey conducted by the International Student Travel Confederation (ISTC) and the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education (ATLAS). The survey, conducted in 2002, covers the profile and travel behavior of 1630 students booking travel from student travel organizations in eight countries. This article reports the initial results of this research. The survey showed that students are frequent travel consumers with extensive previous experience of relatively long trips outside of their own world region. Most students see their travelstyle as that of “traveler,” but a significant proportion of the market characterized their travel as “backpacking.” Motivations reflecting a desire for experience are prevalent with student travelers, particularly in terms of exploring other cultures. Motivations tend to be differentiated by destination region and travelstyle and are distinct between students and other young travelers. In spite of these differences in motivation, however, the activities actually engaged in showed little differentiation between students and others. The most frequently mentioned activities were visiting historical sites, walking, sitting in cafés and restaurants, and shopping, which were practiced by over 70% of respondents. In this and other respects, the article argues that comparisons of motivation and actual activities indicate a gap between the ideology and practice of travel. Key words:...

There are many similarities and differences between the culture of the United States and the culture of Canada. While there are many preconceptions about the culture and behaviors of Canadians, many of the country’s customs are similar to those found in the United States, despite differences in culture and government styles.

...To what extent can housing led regeneration schemes tackle social exclusion? Written by: Rosalie Burke – University of Westminster MA Housing Policy and Practice (April 2012) In order for housing led regeneration schemes to tackle social exclusions, the regeneration organisers and the residents of the area will have to play their parts. This paper will be looking at how regeneration schemes can tackle social exclusion by creating mixed tenures, and what roles residents can play in sustaining mix tenures in order to tackle social exclusion. This paper will also look at if social exclusion can be kept out of housing regeneration schemes in this bad economical climate which has seen many job losses and the changes in which the Localism Act has introduced. Regeneration programmes, are normally conducted in areas which are deemed to be poor and is usually based around improving the quality of housing and tackling social exclusion. Regeneration can be funded by the public sector and a mixture of private and public sources (Muir, 2008). Regeneration schemes can bring in investors to the area which in turn can create employment opportunities and from employment, this would lead to money being spent in the area, people would want to raise a family, work and continue to live for a very long time. Regenerating an area does not always mean knocking down the whole community and starting again, it can be that some of the properties are knocked down because...

I also intend to view how the head of the judicial branch of government; the Supreme Court has facilitated this power shift through numerous justifications of enlargement as a constitutional right, particular concerning the acts; 1. ‘Power to Tax and Spend’ (Article.1, section.8, Part.1) 2. ‘Commerce Clause’...

...As a component of the British North America Act passed in 1867, the Canadian Senate came into existence simultaneously with the Dominion of Canada. One of the oldest and most important institutions in the country, the Canadian Senate, is also one of the most criticized and controversial senates in the world. In 2008, The Toronto Sun wrote that as a result of the Canadian Senate, democracy throughout the country has been “placed on hold”. Those in favour of abolishing the Senate argue that it is a flawed body of government, which is carrying out its legislative functions inadequately. While the Senate may not have the support of the entire Canadian population, abolishing it may not be the most effective course of action. Rather, this paper will argue that instead of abolishing the Senate due to its...

...Sample paper AQA AS Business Case study – Paper 2: Answers SAGA 1. price at flotation = 185 pence; price on 15/10/14 = 158 pence % change = 27p / 185p x 100 = a fall of 14.6%. 2. 33% is 20m so 20m/ X x 100 = 33% so X = 20m x 100 / 33 = 60,606,060. 3. If Saga can reduce its debt levels this would mean less interest costs and so higher profit. This could help the share price recover as investors could now expect to be paid more dividend. The article says that debt financing costs reduced Saga profits by over £20m. Alternatively the extra profit could be used by Saga and be reinvested into areas where Saga wants to grow (e.g. care homes). Funded by profit, an internal source of finance, future business growth could make the shares worth more so their price will rise and shareholders will hold an investment in Saga which is more valuable. 4. When demand is price elastic it means that changes in price have a more than proportionate impact on demand. If, e.g., Saga were to increase its insurance prices by 5% and the PED is -1.5, then demand will fall by 7.5% and there would be a fall in Saga insurance revenues. However, if Saga reduced prices by 10% then demand would rise by 15% and revenues would rise. Operating in markets where low price might be important (because people might not be fussy about who provides the insurance as long as there is cover), if Saga can offer competitive rates then it might be able to increase its market share. To be able to offer...
