The case of “Alberta (Education) v Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright) was brought before the Supreme Court of Canada on July 12, 2012. At issue was whether the Copyright Board’s conclusion regarding the copying of material as being unfair according to Canadian Copyright law. Specifically, the issue focused on teachers making photocopies excerpts of textbooks, with the intent to distribute the material to students as part of course materials. The question raised was whether this action applied to the ‘fair dealing” specifications laid out in the Canadian Copyright Act. Common practice throughout schools across Canada (from elementary to post-secondary institutions), include teachers and professors making photocopies of segments of copyrighted materials for distribution to students for various uses to further education.

http://www.vanierinstitute.ca/research_program#.UFZlDI2Tv88 Family Life The following research streams have been chosen to loosely structure the Vanier Institute’s work on family life. In addition of examining the different roles and responsibilities of families, this research framework includes an examination of family formation and dissolution as well as topics and issues related to family well-being. The status of different groups of families such as Aboriginal families or same-sex families is also highlighted. 1. Family Formation and Dissolution That families have changed and continue to change is now part of conventional wisdom.
People, knowledge and skill, housing, political involvement, health, and so forth are considered and evaluated within the various communities and are immediately addressed. Ontario can model New Zealand in by establishing community centers to gather information, identify core issues, and provide solutions to the needs within the various immigrant groups. For example, a center for Pacific-Asian and Canadian Youth can be established and staffed with people who understand the cultural dynamics of Pacific-Asia and Canadian culture.

All around the world, education has a same purpose: to educate people, to let people acquire knowledge that our ancestors had discovered, and at the same time, to encourage them to discover new knowledge by themselves. But, in different countries, under different cultural backgrounds, education will have different forms and meanings. Here I want to make some comparisons on education between the US and China. The first aspect concerns about the attitude the education system holds. American education emphasizes cultivating a student’s mind rather than requiring him to memorize mere facts.
Descirbe and Evaluate Cross Cultural Variations in attachment (12 marks) Due to the fact that the ways that people bring up their children can be very different all over the world as we share different attitudes, values and beliefs etc. People emphasize on developing distinct skills and qualities, so attachments formed can be different. For instance, countries like America and Germany would value personal independence and achieve more, whereas interdependence people is valued more in China. The two cultures mentioned are called individualistic culture and collectivist culture respectively. Van Ijzendoorn and Kroonenberg carried out a meta-analysis that collates and analyses data from many studies carried out by other researchers of 32 separate studies in eight different countries over 2000 babies using Ainsworth’s ‘Strange Situation’.
Defined roles also allow personal and organisational objectives to be met. Extensive research on teaching roles concludes that these differ greatly in various parts of the country and also differ depending on whether it is adult education, children’s education or special needs (Skills for Business, 2008). All teaching and learning organisations are also subject to legislation and professional standards which can be externally assessed and have to be met. In addition, there is a raft of legislation, standards and professional codes which require teachers to maintain and update their own knowledge and reflect and improve upon their practice (National Union of Teachers, 2012). It is therefore thought to be essential from an organisational, professional and personal point of view to fully understand the teacher roles and responsibilities (Department of Education 2013).
The current UK education system is a moulding of many decades worth of legislation, practical application and government policy. It can be argued that because of these things the current system is now a meritocracy but this can be argued against. The functionalist perspective suggests there are three main objectives of the education system. One function is to provide secondary socialisation in addition to the family’s role of primary socialisation, through a formal and hidden curriculum pupils are taught societies norms and values. A second objective of the education system is to teach skills, which are necessary for success in the workplace in modern society.

If they fail again, their status should be revoked. 4. The recognition of foreign credentials must be streamlined and accelerated. Instead of forcing immigrants back to school, the various professional bodies must provide their own training so as to upgrade newcomers’ skills and to bring them in line with Canadian expectations. For example, coming back to lawyers, the Law Society must provide individual-study programs for foreign-trained lawyers to help them achieve a Canadian level of the law.
