...Regional alienation in Canada can be defined by the notion of some regions expressing of a distinct disconnection between themselves and the political affairs that predominantly take place in Ontario and Quebec. As Canada is geographically expansive, as well as politically and ethnically diverse, regional alienation has grown in areas primarily outside of Canada’s political epicentre. One of the more noticeable instances of regional alienation comes from the Western regions of Canada (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia) and has led to the creation of the commonly known term, Western alienation. Although the West is not the only region in Canada in which alienation exists, it is the region that had most actively expressed...

...Canada History http://www.canadahistory.com/sections/eras/trudeau/western_alienation.htm Western alienation has had its roots causes in the Western Canada's disappointment at not having more control over the Federal Government. To many in the west, Ottawa is viewed as pre-occupied with the Quebec Ontario axis and makes most of its decisions based upon how they will effect central Canada. During the 1950's and 1960's Alberta's oil industry grew substantially and the Social Credit government in Edmonton was happy to leave oil development to big business and just collect the provincial tax revenues and royalties. As the 1970's began the Social Credit were ousted in Alberta and replaced by a Conservative government under Peter Lougheed. His government took a much more activist role in the oil industry, believing that not only could more revenue be generated for the province but the oil industry could help develop other industries in the province and diversify its economy. In 1973 the Yom Kipper war in the middle east had resulted in a saved Israeli victory and the Arab OPEC nations decided to increase oil prices by up to 100%. The windfall profits that resulted from the oil production were quickly absorbed by Alberta's provincial government which resulted in the building up to over $14 billion of what was called the Heritage fund. The flip side of the coin was that he rest of Canada were subjected to gas prices that rose by over 350% in a year and threatened economic stability...

...Impacts on the environment | Impacts on the people | Between 4 - 5 million cubic metres of lava was unloaded in the form of pyroclastic flows. This means that thousands of houses were buried all over the island by ash and rocks. Because the houses are buried people are outside with no shelter meaning they have to rebuild the houses, however there are no services so people have no jobs so are making no money. This meansthey are unable to build many homes to shelter people. | When the volcano shows signs of eruption people are required to leave to area for safety reasons. This means that anyone living near the are not guaranteed a stable life or stable farming. Because ofthis they were reluctant to farm meaning that thepeople of Montserrat had less food meaning theprices grew a large amount and in future possiblyhave to import food costing even more. | 10 villages(including Windy Hill, Brambles, Bethel,and Harris) were damaged or destroyed by deposits from the eruption e.g. pyroclastic flows,fine grained surge deposits, blocks and ash flowdeposits. This means that all vegetation has died leaving no food so people have to import food. | The helicopter could only reach places on the east side of the island where the wind was strong. To the west side where there was lots of ash in the air. The Montserrat Defence Force and the Montserrat Police Force went in vehicles to try and find any survivorsbut it took two or three days for all the survivors to be rescued from the area. This...

...It is not necessary to put a DNS server in such a small location. 5 users and slow network connectivity does not justify the expense of installing Servers in that location. Unless there is a large amount of File sharing, or other data that needs to be accessed daily by other locations on the network. If that is the case then yes put in the server but configure it as a secondary or ADI zone type. I suggest putting the servers in the other location where you have 30 Users and good connectivity. You can also store all the files from both locations in the larger office, the smaller location can remote in via “VPN”. By doing this all the information from the smaller sight is stored off site. The smaller sight can be run with a smaller cheaper router. The server in the larger more utilized office should be set up as the Primary Zone since it is utilizing a better connection and has more users this is essentially HOMEBASE! If you run DNS on domain controllers, you have the opportunity to use something called Active Directory Integrated zones, or ADI zones. In classical DNS, the zone information is stored in text files that sit on the hard drive. Yes, they’re protected by NTFS, but you don’t have the ability to impose per-record security. You may also want to create an ADI zone; the zone information (and all the associated resource records) are imported into the AD database, NTDS.DIT. The zones and zone records become objects in AD. This has a variety of benefits (and potentially some...

...Finding Flow in the Work Force Monday, November 2, 3-6pm. According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is the term used to describe the feeling of being completely absorbed in a challenging or personally meaningful activity (Belsky, 2013, p.311). An activity that causes the inner state of flow is not just one that produces the feeling of happiness, but it is an activity that results in feeling challenged and completely engaged. Activities that cause people to enter the inner state of flow both challenge and help expand the existing capacities of an individual. People reach flow while engaging in various different activities depending on the their unique personal interests. Different activities cause people to enter the inner state of flow and feel completely focused, engaged, and as if time is flying by (Belsky, 2013, p.311). According to Csikszentmihalyi’s studies of flow, the amounts of times that people experience flow vary from individual to individual. Some people rarely experience the inner state of flow while others experience it several times a day. Csikszentmihalyi argues that if people only experience flow in less accessible and difficult to reach situations, then the individual will find it difficult to construct a life they feel is satisfying (Belsky, 2013, p.311). A key component in reaching the inner state of flow is being intrinsically motivated when working on the flow inducing activity and not as a means of gaining an extrinsic reward. Another key component in obtaining...

Be specific, give examples, and quote from the readings. 2. You are a volunteer for the American Red Cross. You are to enter a scene of destruction in order to assist wounded victims. What are some precautions that you must take? What are some restrictions placed on you? From whom do you receive clearance? 3. First responders should isolate hazards by establishing control zones. There are three types of control zones. List them and give examples. Cite your sources. Difference Between Response to Destruction By Terrorist and Natural Disaster Previous to the National Response network there were various differences on how and when agencies responded to incidents by terrorist groups or natural disasters. Prior to the 11 September 2001 attack on the Pentagon, the plane crash in Pennsylvania, the World Trade Center, and the 2005 Hurricanes Rita and Katrina the Federal Response Plan existed which primarily focused on the Federal roles and responsibilities during an emergency or disaster incident. By using the lessons learned and the response to the hurricane season in 2005 the National Response Plan was replaced by the Federal Response Plan. The United States has dealt with a number of unprecedented disasters and emergencies from small...

...Manuscripts (1844a) Marx explains that there are four aspects of alienated labour under capitalism. Wolff (2002, p. 29) writes: “The basic idea [of alienation] is that two things which belong together come apart” [1]. I shall be examining the four forms of alienated labour indicated by Marx in his Manuscripts and I will be using the concept of ‘unalienated labour’ as a tool to clarify what Marx meant by ‘alienated labour’. For, as Ollman puts it: “Alienation can only be grasped as the absence of unalienation, each state serving as a point of reference for the other. And for Marx, unalienation is the life man leads in communism” [2]. Marx explains that the capitalist alienates the products of labour from the workers by forcing them to produce products for both him and the buying public. But, according to Marx, since there would be no private property under communism, it is there that man would then be free to express his individuality through production (Marx, 1844b, p. 278). I will argue that although some will remain unconvinced by Marx’s theory of alienated labour because it relies on what they see as Marx’s warped conception of human nature, the theory is still useful to those struggling to understand the difficulties imposed on them by capitalist society. The first category of alienated labour analysed by Marx is: alienation from the product of labour. Under capitalism the workers produce products, but Marx argues they are alienated from the products they produce. One...

...The first thing we have to look at is that fact that Aliens have no idea about human behavior therefore they want to experiment on humans .So suppose aliens place 30 people on an Island and observe their behavior . First let’s observe Karl Marx's theory of alienation, which simplified is the antagonist dynamic placed between things that is properly in harmony. It describes a sense of social Alienation that exists amongst all classes and caste of a society throughout human history. A perfect example is the caste system of India were people are assigned there role in society given by birth. They are known as the Varnas. The caste labels given to people in India they are the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and a Shudras. Amongst these groups in society there is much Discrimination and social alienation. This belief system goes back 1000's of years although India is certainly not the only nation with a caste system in society of people divided by wealth. The people on the deserted island would find this difficult because the values and caste in society would no longer hold true. Perhaps Marx had some insight into the future of the world when he proposed this theories and the theories seem to be right on the target. The premise here was to take 6 groups of people and look at how they would interact with each other. So we take 6 groups of people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds they add up a total of thirty people and place them on an island. How would they interact...

...The Effects Of Divorce On Children Mohamet Thiam Western Governors University WGU Student ID# 000204437 The Effects Of divorce On Children The society in general has a better view of divorce now days. According to Jolivet in one of her recent articles in 2011, if you compare the view of society about divorce in the 1950s when women who divorced were stigmatized and today when half of the marriage end in divorce, the view of society about divorce has truly evolved. The rapid societal changes and economic development have contributed to the rise of women at almost the same level as men for professional occupations and to a higher social status with growing women’s rights. The National Center for Health Statistics has estimated in 2011 that between 850,000 and 950,000 couples divorces every year and more than half of divorcing couples have at least one children. In light of the alarming number of children involved in divorce, many studies have been conducted to shed some light on the possible effects on children. In the United States in particular, there are thousands of studies related to the many impacts of divorce on children well being. Research has shown that divorce can have a tremendous impact on children because it can be source of emotional distress especially in the early years, psychological problems, and socialization difficulties. The purpose of the research paper is to synthesize and analyze the well-supported studies conducted by knowledgeable authors...

...Marx’s Alienation Theory Introduction To discuss the question whether Marx’s Alienation Theory is still relevant in the modern workplace, it is necessary to identify what Marx’s Alienation Theory is and how the theory changed in the past decades. Then I will discuss about the characteristics of modern workplace and try to analysis the situation from the alienation theory perspective. As conclusion, I will try to evaluate the relevance between the theory and the workplace. Definition of Alienation Alienation is the process whereby people become foreign to the world they are living in. more The concept of alienation is deeply embedded in all the great religions and social and political theories of the civilised epoch, namely, the idea that some time in the past people lived in harmony, and then there was some kind of rupture which left people feeling like foreigners in the world, but some time in the future this alienation would be overcome and humanity would again live in harmony with itself and Nature. Marx had a specific understanding of the very sharp experience of alienation which is found in modern bourgeois society. Marx developed this understanding through his critique of Hegel. According to Hegel, through their activity, people created a culture which then confronted them as an alien force. But for Hegel human activity was itself but the expression of the Spirit (or Zeitgeist) which acted through people. In the first place, Marx insisted that it was...

...Why Chinese mothers are superior There are numerous opinions about how to raise children ideally. Everyone want to do what is best for their children, but the description about how to do so, is extremely different from parent to parent. There has especially been quite a lot debate about how Chinese mothers raise their children compared to Western mothers. Many Westerns people describe the Chinese mothers methods of upbringing as strict, pushy and some times directly cruel. The article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” deals with these differences between methods of upbringing, written by the 48-year-old Chinese-American mother Amy Chua and it is thereby seen from her point of view. The author Amy Chua is a professor at Yale Law School and has two daughters herself, whom she is raising very strictly with lots of rules and big demands. Chua claims that the way that Chinese mothers are upbringing their children, is superior compared to the Western mothers methods of upbringing. She underlines than in order to achieve success, the children must focus on certain priority areas, and therefore they are forced to give up other things. This is why her own daughters are not allowed to attend to sleepovers, choose their own extracurricular activities and they are demand to be the very best in every subject except gym and drama. This is only a few of the rules, which Chua’s daughters must live by. Chua underlines that one of the most important parts of upbringing in Chinese manner, is...

...“‘Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals, ’” says the famous Butch Cassidy, played by Paul Newman, from the movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Put in theaters in 1969, this western film became a hit amongst audiences across the country. Directed by George Roy Hill, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid qualifies as a western because the film provides moviegoers with large and dry landscapes, old-fashioned crime, and a partner who plays the role as a sidekick. In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the setting is a large and dry desert-like landscape. A western is typically known for its’ characters to be in a setting with a hot climate, lots of dirt/sand, and tall dry mountains; this film contains all of that. There...
