The CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission) is a public organization for telecommunications and broadcasting whereas CanCon is a regulatory mandate from CRTC which requires Canadian broadcasters to dedicate 50% of content between 6 pm to midnight for Canadian content. The issue is that to what extent should CRTC and specifically, CANCON, should have influence in the global world. This issue focuses on negative impact globalization and foreign transnationals are having on Canadian culture., Canadian content is being played less and less often and is increasingly replaced imported content; as a result, the CRTC enacted CANCON, a legislation which protects Canadian culture and identity. Some people support this, voicing that it supports Canadian content whereas others say it is discriminatory to external content and it even demonstrates that Canadian content simply cannot compete…

Unfortunately, there is a commonality that each treatment provider is faced with a client that only has one single issue. However, in this example, the client has more than one issue ranging from substance abuse to mental illness to homelessness. The provider will then need to determine if the client will need additional assistance with other issues that may be outside our scope of practice. For example, if the provider is working in a substance abuse treatment program the primary focus is helping the client to stop using drugs and/ or alcohol. As the client is no longer supposed to use substances or drink, the client can no longer reside in an environment where substances and/or alcohol are being used; this can become a trigger for the client and risk the client’s sobriety and recovery. This client is now homeless and will need assistance with housing. As the client continues in sobriety the treatment provider may notice that the client appears to be struggling with mental health issues that have not been previously diagnosed; this client will now need to be referred to a mental health provider for further evaluation and possible medication management. The provider has been made aware of these arising situations through communication and effective listening skills while interacting with the client in the group and individual therapy process. The provider will need to be aware of the client’s verbal and non-verbal cues as the clients’ affect may be incongruent with the current situation. The provider will also need to be aware of the client’s cultural issues as treatment may cause the client to have stigmatization within his or her family…

What if we all get fat? According to the Obesity Society this is already occurring; obesity is a disease that affects more than one-third of the U.S. adult population (approximately 78.6 million Americans). The number of Americans with obesity has steadily increased since 1960, a trend that has slowed in recent years but shows no sign of reversing. Today, 69 percent of U.S. adults are categorized as being affected by obesity or having excess weight (Obesity Society, 2014). Two factors are under consideration: Corporate or consumer responsibility. With the obseity trend seemingly growing, many propose a question that if these high calorie fast food chains should take responsibility for the growing number of obesity or is it all the consumers’ responsibility. Slowly, sandwich shops and healthy eateries popping up everywhere. Do fast food chains such as McDonalds and Taco Bell keep an competitive advantage by taking some responsibility of our overweight society? A huge factor is how these corporations identify and develop their corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR initiatives are a crucial component of a company’s strategy and the development of sustainable competitive advantage.…
Why is September 16th Mexican Independence Day? What happened on that date? (Include in your answer a summary of two Catholic priests: Miguel Hidalgo and Jose Maria Morelos). Notably, September 16th is Mexican Independence Day because revolutionary activity was already a pattern throughout Mexico, “but the cause celebre of independence was El Grito de Dolores (The Cry of Pain), a proclamation made by Miguel Hidalgo, a parish priest, on September 16, 1810 (Vigil 112). Furthermore, Hidalgo was a Criollo, a Jesuit, and fairly well off, but most importantly he felt a concern for less-fortunate members of society, so he could be characterized as an activist puro (Vigil 112). Consequently, his goal was the liberation of Mexico, even if the gachupines…
