The Canadian Government positions should be elected by the people in Canada because it would prevent many problems by the members in the Canadian Government. People all believe that to have their own opinion is a great advantage but not all people have the time to do background research on the Candidates. By having the people of Canada vote for who they want would than restrict partridge from happening behind the scenes. Voting for our own leader in the senate would than help everyone in a great way. This would become easier on our daily lives.
Compare and Contrast Xinjiang, Chechnya, and Quebec In all three of these areas they are trying to achieve some sort of independence. These conflicts are alike in that they involve the struggle of one group to become separate and independent from their home country. In Quebec the movement is peaceful and political. Quebec is trying to be free from Canada because of its dominant French culture in the province. Some people are now satisfied with protected language rights within the Canadian confederation while some still want independence for Quebec.
It also can make it easier than in the past for a student who switches schools, because now schools broadly have to follow a similar curriculum. The national curriculum was introduced to enable assessment, which also helped to compile league tables. League tables (1988 education act) are another change that has helped the education system. League tables are used to compare the academic achievements of different institutions and parents can use them to decide which school they want their child(ren) to go to. Using league tables is a good thing as if you want your child to go to a good school, you can chose the one most suitable with good education and exam results.
Ever since I took classes where I learned about various countries and their cultures, it has always been my dream to be bilingual. In so many places around the world, children begin to learn English at a very young age. This has always been very important because the United States is a very powerful independent country, unlike many of the smaller countries with failing economies. This brings me to one of Gonzales’s main points, that immigrants don’t want to come to the United States, but have to for a better life. Many people think immigrants are willingly “taking over” the United States, but I agree with Gonzalez.
It was the language he felt love and the language that kept his family together. On the other hand English was the language that intimidated him. He could only hear sounds people make while speaking English instead of the words. Once he started learning English, he slowly realized that he needed to learn it in order to fit in society. Bilingual Education taught him it is a must to fit in the American society but this profound knowledge cost him the closeness of his family.
In the United Kingdom, a group of teachers hope to ban the word fail and replace it with “deferred access” (Smerconish 65). Teachers believe that using more politically correct words is better for students. They also believe they can ease pressures on students by changing their grading tactics. Grading papers in red ink has been commonly accepted since the 1700s. However, society has come to believe that the color red is harsh and can be demoralizing to students.
Let’s Make It Official Should English be the country’s official language? Speaking English in the United States has always been natural to us U.S. citizens. However, it should be the official language to lower the cost of multilingual and bilingual services. The article “Should English Be the Official Language of the United States?” by Jayne Keedle is about the debate whether United States should use English as the official language. English should be the official language of the U.S. because it unifies us, it reduces the cost of providing multilingual services and it has widespread support.
we speak English. Nevertheless, the English language is one of the more difficult languages to learn and I can understand why many immigrants may feel overwhelmed and intimidated when faced with learning a whole new language. This is why, I believe, the U.S. should implement a required program specifically designed to aid incoming immigrants in learning English. This would especially be constructive for those entering the workforce and will absolutely have a positive effect on the future of those that complete the program. Although, at this point in time, the United States does not have a National language I still believe a helpful program should be put into action.
Sure people can say what they want about the quality and delivery system of a single payer plan, but if they remember Canada uses a single payer plan and its citizens life expectancy increased drastically that same year. It is understandable that some ignorant people are afraid of change but change is needed in order for the world to function. If the single payer plan was insufficient, unsustainable, and inequitable the government and nurses would not be behind it. “Many liberals in America dream about single payer plans. Even if they acknowledge that a single-payer plan cannot be enacted, they still think it’s the best reform.” (Emanuel Ezekiel p.38) Emanuel doesn’t believe that the single payer plan is going to be effective but he does think that America should have a Universal health care, he seems to think that the single payer plan is for liberals.
“The Charter of Rights and Freedoms says you can be equal and different at the same time. That’s the purpose of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: to protect your freedoms and to protect who you are – your place in this great nation. It says we can be different from one another, and that we are all first-class citizens too.” –Denis Coderre. As a Canadian Citizen, I feel very lucky that there is something like the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to affirm and enhance my identity. The Charter allows me to have freedoms, and rights to protect me from things like discrimination, and abrupt searches without reason backed by evidence, etc.
