Discuss two remedies for low voter turnout. What are the pros and cons of each? Our system of government, today, requires voters to turnout, because in theory any one vote could decide the outcome of the election. Many ideas have been proposed to the government to improve voter turnout, but the two that are the most likely to work out in my opinion is finning citizens who do not vote and to try to raise political awareness. Australia fines its citizens for not voting and we could do the same in the U.S.
Some schools, like the grammar schools, require a good result on the 11+. This leads to cream skimming, but also off-loading of ‘bad’ students, that for example will refuse children with learning difficulties good education, because they are “those students who won’t do well anyways”. The top students often seem to be from the middle class. They don’t suffer from material or cultural deprivation and often use the elaborated code, which makes education easier for them. This makes the schools trying to appeal to the middle class parents, to make the middle class parents choose their school and help them get their own results better.
Wente could have explained the new approach being followed in The United States after abandoning the method learning by “discovery”, as well as the results of this step in The United States. Wente has referred to the current policy of social promotion as a reason for decrement in the math scores in Canada. Although there are some weaknesses to it, but there are also strengths which Wente does not consider. According to this policy the students who do not pass the grade academically are allowed to move to the next grade with their peers, which helps in maintaining their confidence level. Wente has suggested using Youtube to the people living outside Manitoba, but Wente forgets the fact that in some areas Internet may not be accessible.
Summary of “Canadian lifestyles: a public health failure” by Daniel Rosenfield, Paul C. Hebert, Matthew B. Stanbrook, Noni Macdonald, Ken Flegel and Jane coutts Many years ago a typical Canadian was described as being fit. This changed as time progressed but not for the better. Now the typical Canadian is described as being a “Couch Potato”. The blame does not rest solely with the Canadians but also with the government. Public health officials requested that the government ban trans-fat and reduce sodium levels, but the government made no attempt at changing or stopping the release of fatty foods.
The analysis tended to blame the family class immigrants for job outcomes. Policy makers accepted the conclusion regarding the weak economic contributions of family class immigrants, policies were changed to reduce the proportion of immigrants in the family class and to increase the proportion in the economic class. The state policy has effectively been able to select very highly skilled immigrants, this clearly perpetrates social inequality, and the total percentage of the economic class is 56.6%, family class 24.4% and refugees 13.7%. I strongly believe every one should be given the same fair opportunity to migrate to Canada, irrespective of the class that they fall under. The Canadian charter’s of Rights and freedom ratified the equality of rights, recognized that every individuals is equal before the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion , sex, age or mental or physical disability.
A DISCUSSION DO RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS HELP A CERTAIN PEOPLE PROGRESS IN A CERTAIN COUNTRY OR DO RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS HINDER THEIR PROGRESS? I believe in a simple rule - Things r best in their original form and alterations to the natural forms are not usually good although exceptions do exist. Talking about residential schools, I will be honest in saying I have never really liked the idea. The residential schools rather kill a person’s originality and curb the natural talent developed through free thought and spirit. Having been schooled in a day school, I felt a balance of exposure to family and school life.
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. Inuit children are initiated into obligations of kinship from birth. Inuit youth work hard to impress their elders, as this will have a great effect on their future. As opposed to a western culture, where adolescence are more influenced by their own peers and work to impress people their own age, not necessarily their elders. From a western view, the way of Inuit socialization seems innovative, where parents use few words, yet actions are done so easily.
Marxists would also say that the National Curriculum does not ensure a standard education throughout the education system because the education system places more value on middle class knowledge than on working class knowledge and so they are disadvantaged and receive a different education to other classes. Bernstein would also argue that due to the elaborated code used by the middle class, the education received by middle class children is different and more fluid because they are more likely to understand everything the teacher says. Nationwide exams (SATs, GCSEs, and A Levels) and literary tests also support the
11 February 2014 Mis/Education and Zero Tolerance Summary In his article “Mis/Education and Zero Tolerance: Disposable Youth and the Politics of Domestic Militarization,” by Henry A. Giroux states that ‘the citizenship of America is being emptied of any social and political content,’ and also recognizing that it is being slowly and steadily being corrupted. People of a community are not just a tax base. Giroux writes that ‘Substantive citizenship also recognized that, for democracy to work, individuals must feel a connection to each other.’ when people are connected they have the opportunity to explore their own ideas, share opinions, question the established system for change and help themselves and others. The author goes on to say that the ethos of neoliberalism in partnership with the open free market places this social citizenship in jeopardy. People themselves have become their own threat to this needed connection of community.
