Most will experience a transition period and during this period, they have to establish their own self-sufficiency within the new social structure. Fortunately for them, the Canadian government provides some benefits for the new comers so that they can quickly settle down in the new environment. For this paper, I will look at this topic on immigration in Canada through a sociological perspective, using the concepts of culture shock, assimilation and discrimination and the structural functional theory. Concept 1: Culture shock. Culture shock is a condition that affects people who travel to another country that is remarkably different from their own culture back home.
Rabineer (2006) explained that as many as half of these children may participate in anti-social behaviour. These behaviours may range from acts such as petty theft, drug abuse and even violent acts of destruction or intentional harm to others. This provides us with yet another example of the challenges ADHD children pose on broader society. Taking into account the afore mentioned challenges ADHD children pose to society, it becomes pertinent to question the impact of their behaviour closer to home, that is, within their own family. Rabiner (1999) quoted the results of a study conducted by Kaplan, Crawford, Fisher and Dewey (1998) which revealed that parents of ADHD children reported feeling considerably dissatisfied with their family life.
October 08, 2010 Immigration Canada Essay In today’s society there have been many changes, from developing new technologies, to easier forms of transportations. All of these have somehow been affected or have been caused by immigration. We meaning Canada have over time progressed in becoming a multicultural society. Canada to some people is considered a “new country” and it is fascinating to see how we can have such diverse cultural backgrounds from all over the world. In this book Immigration Canada by Alan B. Simmons, he shows us three main themes, transnational, globalization, and Imaginative future and how they relate to immigration in Canada today.
He had many accomplishments such as creating the new flag of Canada, and the Canada Pension plan for old- age seniors just to name a few.

With this wide range of choices, a family can get to choose with their own preference. Old time radio favorites influenced many important entertainers we have in modern times. Canada emerged from its colonial past with a unique political art, music, and literature. Ironically, at a time when Canadians have the most confidence to make a virtue of their diversity, their cultural environment is rapidly becoming a piece of the American "entertainment" market. The order in council through which the Massey Commission was formed stated "it is in the national interest to give encouragement to institutions which express national feeling, promote common understanding and add to the variety and richness of Canadian
Positive parenting, re-establishing trust, and being attuned to children’s emotions can play a big role in diminishing the harmful effects of this trauma. The parent-child relationship must be focused on in order to help a child come through this disturbance. The Impact of Domestic Violence on Preschoolers It is a sad fact that 30-43% of children in the United States have witnessed some form of physical violence between their parents. This violence can have a profound effect on preschoolers development cognitively and emotionally. Studies suggest that younger children may be more vulnerable to the effects of witnessing domestic violence than older children (Johnson and Lieberman, 2007) so it is very disturbing to recognize that young children are more likely to witness incidents of violence than older children (Ybarra, Wilkens, & Lieberman, 2007).
People who live in nations that are based on an extensive history of cultural traditions are more aware where they belong, and what to identify with. On the other hand countries which are high in migrations are more likely to have a cultural mixture. Growing up in such countries makes us confused and more eager in finding something that we can belong to and feel accepted. It may be a small community like a yoga class, but it can be something as significant as culture identification.Canada for example embraces people to identify with their culture. Toronto shows how culturally diverse and open this country is.
The Inuit are a culture part of the Eskimo people who inhabit small communities across northern Alaska, northern Canada and Greenland. Social changes that have occurred over the last 30 years have created challenges for the adolescence among the Inuit. An increasing number of Inuit are being exposed to southern culture through travel, schooling and television, enabling them not only to become more independent but also have delayed the acceptance of adult roles and responsibilities. The comparison between Inuit youth and young people of a western culture, such as Australia, is quite stark in regards to how individuals are influenced throughout adolescence. Socialization, being the influenced behaviour of the surrounding culture, and potentially change the way you view the world and becoming socially and culturally literate has been hindered severely by the formal education of the Canadian government.
In 1990 the number of cases reported in Canada was 19 544; by 1992 Canadians began to see the abuse a more serious problem and the cases reported increased to 21 077 that year. This marked increase in the number of reports shows how much more seriously people feel about child abuse and how they are accepting their responsibility to report it. In 1985 Canada introduced certain laws that gave people responsibility for reporting child abuse. For example, Ontario's "Child and Family Service Act" states, " Every person who believes on reasonable grounds that a child is or may be in need of protection must report promptly the belief and the information upon which it is based to a Children's Aid Society." The act also states special responsibilities imposed on professionals and officials to report abuse.
