. To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture? I believe that measures taken by the Canadian government to protect their culture, which resulted in a dispute between themselves and the U.S were a genuine case of wanting to protect their cultural identity as a nation. While in my opinion that was the primary cause of the dispute, I do not believe that it was the sole issue on hand. The Canadian government wanted…

which the agreement was based. While Canada has enjoyed some benefits, including maintaining its position in international trade, the negative impacts to Canada and its sovereignty greatly outweigh any of these benefits.

Creating Fairtrade in the Cocoa Industry The demand for cocoa has increased by at least 5 percent each year since it has developed into an industry. While that demand has been steadily increasing, so has the production of how much cocoa is being produced. While the rapid and steady increase in the need for cocoa, nations who are main producers do not have the adequate agricultural practices to supply nations with enough cocoa around the world. In the long history of the cocoa industry,…

Think of the city of Sao Paulo as the Brazilian Big Apple, only sweeter. With 15 million people, Sao Paulo rates as the third largest city in the world, complete with all the problems of an ever-burgeoning metropolis - skyscrapers, traffic jams, slums, pollution, and noise. But there is also a certain kind of charm in the residents of the city (called Paulistanos) that somehow makes these problems seem less imposing.
