The role of governments in the economy spans a spectrum, from absolute control (communism) to laissez-faire. In between these two extremes, there are a wide range of activities that governments can undertake.

Your video should examine these activities, and determine the appropriate role that government should play. You may choose to consider:

• What are the fundamental, or necessary, functions of government?
• What are the effects of different types of activities?
• What are the costs and benefits of different government actions?
• Who bears the costs, and who receives the benefits?
• Can there be “too much of a good thing?” At what point do some activities harm, rather than help the economy?

Videos may examine specific areas of government policy, or consider a broader scope of government actions.

Canada joins over 85 countries around the globe to celebrate international education on November 16–20, 2009. In Canada, International Education Week (IEW) showcases the significant contribution that international education makes in preparing Canadians for the global world and supports our efforts to engage effectively on the international stage.

Promoting Global Citizenship is the theme for Canada's IEW 2009. International and intercultural knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes are increasingly important for students to develop in order to live and work in a complex but increasingly integrated world. Camosun College continues to expand its range of opportunities for students to develop these competencies through such programs as study abroad, internationalized curricula, and service learning.
