Canada and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page contention that while the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis composed the first real threat to North American territory since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in World War II, the reaction of the two countries most threatened by this crisis was considerably different. The U.S. reaction was swift yet perhaps somewhat premature. Canadian reaction was considerably slower. Concludes that while many criticize Canada's reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the U.S. request for Canadian alert, her caution was actually prudent given the threat of all-out nuclear world war as a result of U.S. actions and the concerns for Canadian sovereignty in regard to the control of her military.

Canadian Administrative Reforms: Trends, Improvements and Concerns
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing Canadian administrative reforms, concerns and improvements. The Canadian federal government reforms over the past fifty years have shifted a great deal in their initiatives, structures and priorities which have deeply impacted the reforms and initiatives of the provincial and municipal governments as well. The reforms in the 1960s and 1970s in Canada initiated by the Canadian government established an increase in social systems, benefits and an increase in the public sector which allowed for the support of these programs. While no major shift occurred during the 1980s, the recession of the early 1990s and an increasing federal public deficit of over $540 billion led to a great deal of restructuring and shifting of initiatives and resources in the mid to late 1990s. Federal funding was drastically reduced by reforms which led to the decentralization and privatization of programs and industry and an increased responsibility placed on each provincial and territorial government. The provincial governments in turn enacted reforms which led to drastic cuts in education, health care and social programs which are still considered controversial and a major concern today. Recently, governmental reforms have shifted slightly again to highlight business networking, accountability, regulation and e-government in order to increase efficiency and accessibility of governmental services.

Captain Rockwood And Haiti: Military Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Captain Rockwood experienced a collision between conscience and duty, a test of one's moral constitution from which no human can escape unscathed; if the issue at hand is so daunting as to erect such a pillar of doubt, while at the same time drive one to contemplate the validity of its importance over and above one's personal conflict, then there can be no question as to the legitimacy of hesitation. From childhood and throughout his learning years, Rockwood felt an entirely different calling than the one that expected him to carry forth the family's military tradition. Indeed, the humanitarian empathy in him exuded from the apex of his entire being; how, then, could a man who at one time trained to be a priest be expected to ignore the calling of blatant barbarity?

Case Study : Bolman And Deal
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper uses Bolman and Deal's Four Frame Analysis to discuss a case study involving the U.S. Forest Service. Specifically, the writer uses two frameworks: the Political Framework and the Human Resource Framework. The scenario is that a pilot program decentralized control but site administrators were not told that a certain pot of money had to be used exclusively for one specific program. A manager leaked this fact to the media and was subsequently transferred involuntarily and is alleging the transfer is unconstitutional. The question is how the manager needs to respond if called before a congressional hearing. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
