From the Paper
"Attempting to define what ?Goth? is was one of the most daunting tasks I was faced with. I came up with at least as many different definitions as there were people I asked. One thing that I noticed is that within the Goth community as a whole, there are many sub-categories based on look, musical taste, political view and personality. However, there were a few common themes which ran in virtually all the many definitions of Goth that I was exposed to."

"To understand how Goths view the dominant culture, it is essential to understand more about the Goth subculture. The first thing to remember about the Goth subculture is that it is diverse. Therefore no matter how one tries to define or describe what Goth is, there will always be people who consider themselves to be Goth, that fall outside of the labels and definitions applied to being Goth. Goths often view the dominant culture as racist biased materialistic ... "

Abstract
This paper provides a study of the theories of global cities and world cities in the Canadian context using the cities of Toronto and Montreal as examples. It looks at how Toronto, as Canada's foremost urban centre shows the signs of a rapidly changing and polarizing city, whereas Montreal has shifted to regional city-status. It also shows how the Canadian urban system can be used as an example for other small yet developed countries where the battle for urban supremacy is taking place.
From the Paper
"Canada has long been a traditional immigration country, along with the US and Australia. Much of the immigration is centred towards the urban centres of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver (source: Statistics Canada 2003). According to World City Theory, immigration is almost a prerequisite for growth, as a constant stream of low-waged workers are required to fill services such as workers in restaurants, and cleaning. Toronto's share is increasing, possibly due to the increased demand for workers in its growing economy, and the use of English - the global language. Quebec's policy of enforced learning of French has been quoted as impedance for immigrants, who would rather settle in Ontario or British Columbia. The extent of immigration into the urban centre in Canada has generally been impeded by federal schemes to spread out immigrants around peripheral areas such as Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia (see Statistics Canada)."

"Introduction
Companies have two methods which they can use to raise capital: they can borrow funds from banks or other investors (debt financing), or they can offer shares in their operations (equity financing). When companies offer shares to the public, they are inviting investors to participate in the operation of the company and share in the risk--and the reward--of the company's activities. Small companies are often very close to their investors, with major stockholders often serving as key executives in the firm. Once a company issues stock, however, it loses control of that ownership. Individuals can sell the stock to each other without the company's permission, and some investors purchase shares in companies without being interested in the daily operations of the organization. Over time, stock markets have evolved to.."

From the Paper
"Ethnography is an approach to studying and learning about a person or group of people. Typically, ethnography involves studying a small group of subjects in their natural environment. Some researchers describe the study of ethnography as a detailed account of social behavior based on in-depth field studies. An ethnographer attempts to gain understanding of the socialization of the subject being studied. Some experts have suggested that socialization is the process, where through contact with other human beings, a child becomes a self-aware, more knowledgeable and skilled in the ways of a given culture and environment."

From the Paper
"This research paper examines the relations between the late Roman Empire and the Gothic tribes which pressed upon Rome's frontiers in the southeast Balkans in the late 4th century A.D. The focal point is the period covered by Ammianus Marcellinus in his The Late Roman Empire (A.D. 354-378) which culminated in a devastating defeat by the Goths of the Romans outside Adrianople in Thrace in 378. The vulnerability of the empire to barbarian pressures in this area was revealed by the Gothic wars of the mid-3rd century. Despite the efforts of its reforming Illyrian emperors of the late 3rd and early 4th centuries, which temporarily restored an uneasy peace on its Balkan frontiers, Rome found itself militarily overextended and internally weakened by a series of developments which rendered it incapable..."

City and Suburbs, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of revisionism in early 20th century Montreal and New York City.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 74.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer of this article notes that Robert Lewis, in "A City Transformed: Manufacturing Districts and Suburban Growth in Montreal, 1850-1929", and Richard Harris, in "Industry and Residence: The Decentralization of New York City, 1900-1940", deal with the phenomenon of suburbanization in two large North American cities within time frames overlapping the early 20th century. The writer points out that both authors' analyses of changes in residential settlement, industrial relocation, and the restructuring of the urban and suburban landscapes along class lines represent a radical revision of the traditional conceptual models of the processes of suburbanization. The writer maintains that both of these articles are primarily descriptive as opposed to theoretical. It is only when one considers them in terms of the article they later jointly authored - "The Geography of North American Cities and Suburbs, 1900-1950" - that one may see how explicitly their revisionist perspectives, foreshadowed in these earlier articles, have challenged prevailing theoretical models of suburbanization in North America.
Outline:
Introduction
New York and Montreal: Key Findings
The Findings in their Larger Theoretical Context
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The findings that the move to the suburbs in both Montreal and New York City during the late 19th and early 20th century was comprised of working class people represents a critical distinction between this phase of suburbanization and the more well-known later 20th century model. For example, in the 20th century settlement in the suburbs was seen as a means of escaping low-income housing. In a number of American cities, a racial dimension was added to this class distinction, as the suburbs became areas to which the blue-collar white workers and the white middle-class resettled from the inner city, which was left to the African American working class. Studies of cities such as Detroit have found that these industrial suburbs are notably "hostile" to Black settlement; a factor that adds the complications of race and ethnicity to class in explaining settlement patterns and the processes of suburbanization."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes an article about the issue of urban sprawl in Montreal. The author points out that urban sprawl is a continuing problem, which has devitalizing the city center of Montreal. The paper relates that this is the result of several factors, but the article alleges that the most relevant factor is the fact that the regional government does not really have a voice in this issue.
From the Paper
"The Canadian city is changing, mostly as a result of urban sprawl, and not enough is being done to stem the flow of this change or to direct it in more desirable directions. This is the emphasis of the article which forms Chapter 14 of the text The Changing Canadian Metropolis (Volume 2), edited by F. Frisken. The chapter, entitled "Urban Sprawl in the Montreal Area - Policies and Trends" by Charbonneau, Hamel and Barcelo of the University of Montreal, gives us a comprehensive picture of what is going on in Montreal in recent times with regard to its city planning - or, more relevantly, the lack of urban planning."
