Should reasonable accommodation be implemented in Quebec? “Reasonable accommodation refers to the idea that equality rights set out in section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms demands that accommodation be made to various ethnic minorities. The concept is especially applied with reference to the anti-discrimination laws in Québec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.” (Rock, Hoag) Multicultural and ‘multiculturalism are terms commonly used to refer to “a social condition of ethnic and racial multiplicity, to a government policy for addressing the problems associated with such range, and to an ideal of interethnic harmony and cooperation on the basis of equality”. (Harold Troper) As an ideal or ideology, multiculturalism sets a standard for the equal treatment of new and minority members of an existing national society. It seems as though many calls for accommodation come from the advocates of mixed-up political precision, the promoters of multiculturalism, diversity and communitarianism.

It states that every citizen is able to express their own culture in this country; but that doesn’t necessarily make it multicultural. Canada’s multiculturalism could be questioned as an ideology, based on the unfair treatment of minority groups.

There is an obvious uneven socio-economic division of success, giving the typical Caucasian, European Canadian the upper hand. Also, there is a significant relationship between multiculturalism and anti-racism.
We take great pride in providing all our citizens with the means to carry on with daily life and are guaranteed with our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Being a first generation Canadian, the topic of Canada’s own culture is very interesting to me. My family and I are part our Canada’s multicultural community. We are able to keep our cultural values alive in Canada and have a right to do so, which is what makes us Canadians. It is not good when Canada as a nation is considered a product of Americanization, and when people consider Canada to not have its own culture.
Then, I will move on to describe what it means to be a poor women in Canada. I will discuss the reasons of women poverty in Canada. Since the issue of poverty is an issue of social inequality, the social conflict theory need some visit to
Despite the recent advent in human rights laws and practices in Canada, our society continues to suffer from negative effects of racism and discrimination. Canada has a legacy of racism whose lingering effects are still felt by racialized minorities. My primary focus, using a human rights perspective, is to explore the relationship between immigration and racism in Canadian society and how racism becomes the instrument for human rights violations. Immigrants are one of the groups that often experience human rights violations in various forms. In order to approach the issue of racism and how it violates the rights of immigrants, we first need to understand the human rights framework with which we are able to interpret discriminatory behaviour.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau kept Canada united by avoiding the separation of Quebec. Trudeau gave a very powerful speech on May 14, 1980 in Quebec. A vote was to be made whether or not Quebec was to be separated from Canada. Trudeau pointed out in his speech that Quebec was the national government of French Canadians and the French Canadians and the French culture should be protected. Trudeau wanted French Canadians to feel more comfortable and to feel like they belonged to Canada by saying, “Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them (Trudeau)”.
QGoldBoyEmeralsGirl Look for two specific quotes about Professor Dai that shows her to be a different person from the traditional image of Chinese women. Explain how these quotes show the differences from the traditional roles and images of women. Define the social structure that allows Professor Dai to be who she is. To what extent does “social construct” create who a person can be? Would she have been allowed to be who she is today if she had been born in the 1850-1940s?
It’s our identity; it’s what makes Canada Canada, a nation for every individual which have equal opportunity in life and success, despite colour, race, or religion. People all over the world have immigrated here and made their marks on the society Canada. Multiculturalism is portrayed as the identity of Canada, as witnessed in the attitudes towards immigrants, ethnic and racial diversity and in Canada’s multicultural policy. Before World War II Canada was mainly inhabited by immigrants of Western European culture and religion, so immigrants either than this cultural background were considered foreigners due to their race, colour and customs. Despite the differences with these “foreigners” Canada needed people.
