Old Believers and Cultural Migration
[ send me this essay ]
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

Ondaatje and Lee, Immigrant Experience
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses how Canadian authors Michael Ondaatje and Sky Lee in their novels In the Skin of a Lion and Disappearing Moon Café offer narratives that portray immigrant experience in Canadian history. Ondaatje tells the story of Macedonian and Greek workmen who built the bridges, buildings and other structures that transformed the transformed nineteenth century landscapes into twentieth century cities. Lee relates the saga of a Chinese immigrant family over the course of several generations, focusing on the women of the cultural and economic factors that influenced their lives in both China and Canada and how these women were active participants in the Wong family saga. As this suggests, the novels are quite different, but similarly are insightful in the way that they offer insight into Canadian immigrant and cultural history. No additional sources cited.

Policing, Police Powers and Police Discretion in Canada
[ send me this essay ]
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.

Post-WWII Canada/2 books
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page research paper/essay that contrasts and compares 2 boos on Canadian history. Two books, Doug Owram's Born at the Right Time: A History of the Baby-Boom Generation (University of Toronto Press, 1996) and Alvin Finkel's Our Lives, Canada after 1945 (Lorimer, 1997) offer very different perspectives on life was like for the majority of Canadians in the post-World War II era, that is 1945-1970. In each book, the authors describe the origins and character of suburban lifestyles, but the books differ due to the distinctions between the approaches of each author. A close examination of each text reveals that where the authors appear to disagree is a direct result of the perspective employed and with small subtitles in their presentation of the socio- political-economic social atmosphere of this era.
