Abstract
This paper discusses how three Supreme Court cases in Canada address "grey areas" in the law, meaning areas in the law where there is some uncertainty whether the specific language of the law refers to an issue. This is called a grey area because the answer is not readily obvious, not black or white. The paper examines such grey areas by examining a case on abortion, a case on stopping motorists, and a case on commercial speech.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, also known as the Constitution Act, 1982, provides certain protections for Canadian citizens and is used to clarify the law on certain issues. However, there are certain grey areas in the law that have to be decided by the Supreme Court, which may use the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for clarification. A grey area occurs when there is some uncertainty whether the specific language of the law refers to an issue, and this is called a grey area because the answer is not readily obvious, not black or white. Several cases illustrate this process."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of child friendly spaces in urban areas. It suggests that children and other pedestrians are often not taken into account when planning urban areas. The paper argues that Commercial Drive in the Grandview Woodlands Park Area of Vancouver, BC should be "pedestrianized" and vehicular traffic should be diverted from the area. The paper briefly describes the benefits of such a move.
From the Paper
"I would argue that these youthful rebels are correct - the space occupied by vehicular traffic on Commercial Drive should be allocated to children, youth and other residents. The No. 20 bus could easily be diverted to run on Victoria Drive for the section of road between Venables and 1st Avenue - or possibly even as far as Broadway. This should make the entire area a true children's paradise, where children could wander safely, without fear of traffic. It would also reduce the pollution that currently sails into the park and the schools, polluting the lungs of children. And it would facilitate the interaction of younger and older residents in a stress-free environment. The street could be converted into a park-cum-public space. All in all, Commercial Drive should be pedestrianized to create a much-needed public space for all local residents, thus facilitating inter-generational contact, and making the area safer and healthier for children."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issues and problems related to public health that tend to be exclusively found in urban areas and how several cities have implemented programs to address the health care needs of affected residents. It looks at how, since urban areas tend to have more people with lower incomes, the unique problems of public health that exist include a higher percentage of people without health insurance, lead paint and asbestos in homes, AIDS and HIV, tuberculosis, and mental health issues. Furthermore, this paper discusses how different cities, with the help of the states and federal government, implement programs that will improve their public health system. These government-funded programs are often the only access these people have to health care.
From the Paper
"There are numerous programs in Jersey City that are offered to assist people with mental health related problems. The most common services associated with mental health include, the Jersey City rape crisis center, bereavement groups, support groups for new parents and child abuse and domestic violence prevention services. These programs and services are offered by the Jersey Medical Center hospital and are available to people who need them. The goal of these mental health services is to help these people overcome the problems they are facing and to prevent these issues from getting worse by addressing it early on. The primary sources of funding for these programs are grants from the State of New Jersey and Federal government."

Abstract
In this paper the author outlines the poverty, malnutrition, disease and lack of good agriculture that is abundant in the rural areas of India. He highlights villages where tragedy has occurred. The author proceeds to discuss suggestions of how to improve the plight of these despondent rural areas and gives examples of how to support non-agricultural labor through education programs in order to stimulate and maintain growth elsewhere in rural economies, reducing the reliance upon unreliable environmental conditions present in agriculture. The author also points out that critical both to agriculture and to quality of life in general, are such issues as irrigation, sanitation and medical attention, which he suggests can be addressed by aid organizations. The author suggests ways that these issues can be addressed through government bodies and other charity organizations. In conclusion he states that it is imperative to provide economic stimulus to the country as a whole through increased agricultural output and increased work-force strength both in terms of health and education.

Proposal Based on Model Systems
From the Paper
"As is apparent from the models provided in Zimbabwe, Malawi and the Bihar Plateau, support of agriculture is key to addressing both immediate and long-term nutritional needs as well as economic growth of rural areas. Because of the symbiosis present between poverty and under nutrition, short-term measures such as emergency food and water relief are not sufficient to address the problem of under nutrition on an ongoing basis, and chronic use places undue fiscal burden on aid organizations and the Indian government. A more far-sighted and ultimately successful method of resolution incorporates both top-down and bottom-up relief, integrating short-term, immediate relief efforts with long-term, delayed benefit policies."

Abstract
This paper explains that the spectacular growth and development of the urban habitation over the past 16 years is just the beginning of a gigantic phase of extension. The author points out that China?s ecological problems from the speedy urbanization and industrialization process in the recent decades generate social effects, causing a great deal of harm to human health, instigating economic and welfare suffering, and harming the environment in both urban and rural areas of China. The paper relates that, because of increasing industrialization and urbanization, the majority of the Indian cities have exceedingly compact habitation that results in overcrowding, clogging, obstruction, traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, as well as major deficiencies of vital requirements and necessities of life

The Impact of Urbanization, Industrialization And Housing Security on China
Ecological Problems in Urban China
The Problem of Water and Cleanliness in Urban China
The Problem of Clearance of Waste-Water in Urban China
The Problem of Air Pollution in Urban China
The Impact of Urbanization, Industrialization And Housing Security on India
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The velocity of urbanization and industrialization was extremely slow prior to the late 1970s when contrasted with other developing states. The proportion of urban inhabitants was 11.2 in 1950, and still barely 17.9 by 1978. This low degree of urbanization had been the consequence from purposeful procedures of restraining rural-urban immigration and urban increase. Economic restructurings have since accelerated the industrialization and urbanization procedures. Large numerals of towns, as well as, cities have surfaced, at the same time as old cities are quickly increasing their managerial spheres."

Abstract
Recreation and tourism are major industries which can permit otherwise impoverished regions to stay fiscally float and which can also satisfy the human need for leisure time and escape. This paper does not dispute the basic contentions of the preceding paragraph but it does argue that the concept of recreation and the concept of tourism are both items which are far more sophisticated than many of us might imagine. Specifically this paper examines the use and occasional exploitation of natural amenities in tourist areas and asserts that natural amenities serve basic human needs for control.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed argument stating that smoking should be banned from all bars and restaurants in the United States. The writer presents the opposition and provides evidence to the contrary. The writer explores the reasons smoking should be banned in those establishments nationwide.
From the Paper
"During the past few decades it has come to light that smoking kills. The federal government now mandates that every pack of cigarettes carry a warning on it that smoking can lead to health problems including death. In addition to smoking being a danger to one?s health there is now evidence that being around other smokers is also dangerous. Second hand smoke has been shown to be the cancer causing agents being released into the air. Second hand smoke has been shown to produce the same negative health affects that smoking first hand does. With all of the current evidence about the dangers of smoking cities across the nation are taking it upon themselves to address the issue when it comes to public buildings. Bars and restaurants are often the target of smoking bans as they are typically gathering places for smokers."

Abstract
This paper addresses the Dundas-Spadina Neighbourhood Community's response to the 2004 hydro blackout, in an EPPlan geared to helping Canadian Chinese and other elders. It looks at how in 2004, this sector proved the most endangered and also the most independent and indifferent to significant health risks. An interventionist, volunteer effort is described in relation to official commentary on the crisis, and media coverage, plus notes on cultural inclusions.
From the Paper
"To Whom It May Concern: This submission refers to the Dundas-Spadina Neighbourhood Committee's intended Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP), for situations of power Blackout as experienced in the Greater Toronto Area during the summer of 2003. The area to which the DSNC refers is known to most Torontonians, and remains small enough that an informal, largely local, response can be effective. Please note that the EPP is evolving with the greatest onus on workers within the Neighbourhood Committee. Its central focus is the area's elderly Canadian Chinese population."

Abstract
Diabetes is estimated to afflict approximately 12 million Americans. It is estimated also that per-capita annual health care expenditures are more than three times greater for diabetics ($9,493) than non-diabetics ($2,604). The first part of the paper examines diabetes and its different types. It shows the importance of continuing medical care and education for diabetic sufferers and the creation of public health programs in rural areas throughout America. The remainder of the paper reviews the types of evaluation methodologies than may be employed in the evaluation of programs for diabetics operated by rural clinics.
From the Paper
"Effective public health management programs for diabetics have been developed. Such programs have been implemented with the greatest success in urban area. While programs are present in rural areas, staffing, resources, support, and use of the programs for diabetics in rural areas, as is true of other public health programs located in rural areas, tends to lag behind the levels of these factors that affect urban programs (Castro, 1996). As a consequence diabetics residing in rural areas may not be receiving optimal levels of treatment, support, and management for their disease conditions. Thus, the importance of evaluating the programs for diabetics operated by rural clinics cannot be over emphasized."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the use of computers in the field of psychology. One of the most basic uses of computers for psychologists is that of record-keeping. With a computer, even the longest and most complicated records can be kept conveniently filed away, and yet be easily accessed whenever they are needed. This has proven to be a great asset in psychology, where accurate and easily obtainable records are always a necessity. In addition, computer database programs have proven to be extremely useful in the work of psychology. Because of recent developments in database programs, a wealth of information is now available at the touch of a few buttons. Two such programs, PsycINFO and PsycALERT, have been produced by the American Psychological Association. Together, these programs "contain about 650,000 citations from approximately 1350 ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that when it was first initiated, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was intended to make schools accountable for the education of their students. This paper shows, however, that in many school districts, the NCLB Act has had the opposite effect. The first part of this paper looks at the goals and programs mandated by NCLB. The writer then looks at the implications of NCLB for rural school districts. The paper also examines arguments that the NCLB Act will adversely affect the operations of rural schools which have to struggle with budget cuts and a dearth of qualified teachers. It further looks at NCLB's adverse effects on the education of children who are physically - and learning - disabled.
Outline:
No Child Left Behind: An Overview
Demands on School Districts
Issues for Rural School Districts
Children with Disabilities
Alternatives to NCLB
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"One of the key features of the No Child Left Behind Act was to ensure that all students must show proficiency in math and reading by the 2013-2014 academic year. School districts must therefore show a yearly progress report towards this goal. This holds true especially for students of English as a second language and those with learning disabilities. School districts that continuously fail to post higher test scores will face sanctions. Principals and teachers in such "underperforming" schools could be suspended, removed or replaced. The No Child Left Behind Act also makes provisions allowing the state government to take over underperforming schools. Additionally, federal funding could be withheld for underperforming schools.
