It is perceived that Canada is a meritocratic system or society in which people have influence or status according to their abilities and achievements rather than because of their social class. This goes hand in hand with the “American/Canadian dream” that if you’ll work hard, have the right attitude, have a high moral character and integrity you’ll be successful and achieve your goals. Unfortunately, according to sociologists, meritocracy is a myth. We live in a society that is in denial about the very existence of inequality. Canadians strongly resist viewing their society as one characterized by entrenched inequities (Allahar & Coté, 1998).
Durham dealt with the captured rebels sparingly and even pardoned most of them. Durham suggested that the Canada’s be united, and that they be given a responsible government. He also proposed that all of the British North America be united. Durham’s report was not welcomed in the Lower Canada. The French did not want to be assimilated by the English.
Multiculturalism is thus, based on a pre assumption of equality which is not necessarily real. This is because multiculturalism pretends to be a mechanism to equalize all cultures within Canada. In the real sense, this is not what it is. The Ontario’s government policy on multiculturalism known as Multiculturalism: A new strategy for Ontario is aware of the concerns presented by color and race. Therefore, the Government tries to tackle those issues within their policy.
The Soviets strived for communism, where everyone, at least in principle, had equal shares and no one was above another, while the United states wanted to spread their values of democracy to re-developing countries across the globe. Communism was seen as such a threat to the United States because they believed the Communist Party wanted to spread and take over the entire world and the U.S. insisted that they were a force that must be stopped. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a key film, made during this time period that reflected greatly on the themes of the Cold War. In the film the protagonist, Miles, is a once sane, intelligent doctor who has been strung out, by many strange events that indicate an alien invasion is happening into a hysterical man. It starts out with relatives and children accusing loved ones that they’re not really themselves, that they have no emotions.
They came north to Canada but Canadian also turned them away. The Canadian prime minister showed unwelcomed attitude to Jewish people when he supported the deputy minister of immigration’s comment about allowing Jewish people to enter Canada. Canada response to Jewish refugee applicants was that at this time, Canada is not admitting Jews, please try some other country. Canada should open the “door” and be welcome to Jewish. Jewish people living so complicated that everyone try to send them away so Canada should accept
With less ice, big ships will now be able to travel through the Arctic instead of going around it when importing and exporting things to different countries. Not to mention the fact that the Arctic has oil, and apparently lots of it. ! Im sure some people are thinking to themselves, “if Canada already owns the Arctic then why is this a debate?” the debate is not whether the Arctic belongs to canada, the debate is that other countries feel they have the right to own it just as much as us and have the means to take it at their will. Before countries like the States, Russia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland all decided they wanted a
In today’s society, media censorship is a controversial issue. What exactly is the best policy to follow in Canada has yet to be settled. Communist countries such as China and Russia, as well as countries whose people are controlled by a religious fundamentalist government have the ability to control, and/or alter what is released into the mass media for public consumption. They will not allow anything offensive to the dominant religion or the homeland to be released. In Canada, a democratic nation, we pride ourselves on having the right to Freedom of Speech.
"I have a lot of concerns about what potentially we could be negotiating away," he said. "We're kind of puzzled as to how they're going to protect Canadians' security." Federal Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart also has sounded a note of caution about the pending deal. In a recent blog post, she explained Canada and the U.S. have different legislative procedures to protect privacy and there is no privacy oversight structure which monitors U.S. law enforcement and national security authorities. "Rather than jumping into a newly defined relationship with both feet, we should only do so with both eyes wide open," Stoddart
In 1984, the government refuses to allow the public their own memories and changes memories in order to have complete control over society. Winston was one of the only members of his society who remembered the true past and was not loyal to Big Brother. Nearly everyone else in society believed whatever they were told by the Party because they possessed no memories of the past. The members of the Outer Party willingly accepted everything Big Brother said and obeyed him unhesitatingly. The Party replaces and manipulates the memories of Oceania’s citizens in order to remain in absolute power.
Dictatorship is a type of government. A country that is governed by a dictator usually does not last long. Dictatorship ruins human society, it takes away human rights. A dictator always wants his people to obey his leadership, and once his people had turned to disobey, he would suppress them without consideration. People would never forget the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989.
