Calendar Course Description
as well as statutory and common law relevant to business and
consumer transactions are covered. Students are introduced to
the laws of contracts and torts that form the basis of business
relationships. Topics include sale of goods and consumer
protection legislation, debtor-creditor relations, competition law,
employment law, manufacturer‘s product liability and intellectual
property rights.
Effectively presenting oneself is essential in contemporary
business where people must negotiate in increasingly complex
and diverse workplaces. Students explore and practice
methods of creating clear written, oral and interpersonal
communication for proposals and presentations in business.
They study communication theories, types of communication,
and methods and vehicles that have an impact on their
performance. Students enhance their ability to organize
information based on purpose and audience; express ideas
clearly, precisely and effectively; and use up-to-date technology
for presentations.
As Canadian soldiers continue to fight and die in the war in
Afghanistan, Canadian citizens have been struggling to come to
grips with their new international reputation. For people who
thought of their soldiers more as peacekeepers rather than
warriors, this transition has been unsettling. However, Canada‘s
role in the world has undergone several transitions throughout
its history. How we come to understand these transitions
requires an in-depth examination of the different roles Canada
has assumed in the world over the past 150 years. Since 1867,
Canada‘s politicians, diplomats, professionals, businesspeople,
soldiers, and citizens have cultivated relations with their
counterparts in the world‘s most powerful and poorest nations
and engaged in some of the most significant events in all of
human history. This course examines Canada‘s past and
present, and assesses the many different domestic and external
influences that shaped Canada‘s foreign policy in the face of a
changing world.
No matter how it is organized, the family is the most basic social
institution in all societies. Indeed, the family or more specifically
―a married couple, or other group of adult kinfolk who co-operate
economically, share in child rearing, and who usually share a
common dwelling‖ can be traced back two million years
(Conway 1990). The way the family is structured, how it
functions, and who is considered a member may be factors that
differ from one society to another, but all societies expect some
form of family to be responsible for regulating long term
relationships, reproduction, child development, and the care of
aged relatives.
