This revitalization project was designed to create a form of social development plan and promote inclusion and address transitional issues in the Regent Park community (Toronto Community Housing, 2007). Regent Park is characterized by a high rate of poverty, unemployment, and a diaspora city (Statistics Canada, 2006). As a result, it experiences a higher level of violence, drug abuse, and social ills compared to other cities in Toronto. People outside of the Regent Park area fail to identify with and commit to this area which has created much under awareness and unwillingness to invest in this community. Even individuals that live in this area see the community as a “transitional community” (Statistics Canada, 2006).
From a person opinion, a country’s national identity is one of the only forms of groups, which almost everyone is theoretically capable of joining. Kumar (2006) points out that the various causative factors that have made scholars assert that Canada lacks national identity include the Quebec nationalism, Aboriginal rights, Western alienation and changing patterns of immigrations and citizenship. This paper will be analyzing Canada’s lack of identity and the key issues that have convoluted Canada’s search for national identity (Kumar, 2006). Canada has been on the creation of national identity for quite a long time but has not yet
The objective of this paper is to communicate the relationship between the level of education a person has, and the meritocracy that is enjoyed due to it. The functionalist and conflict theories are also studied. The present day struggles of the new graduates in securing well paying jobs, and the issues associated with repaying the student debt incurred in order to acquire higher educational achievement is analyzed. The statistics used here exclude the aboriginal population. Does Education provide meritocracy in pursuit of success or is it all an illusion/myth in Canada?
I think that Sung should advertise its brand in a different, efficient, and effective way in Ontario and create a new strategy for the Prairies markets. Sung needs to invest some of his time studying the reason of why people in Ontario are not buying his product by doing the marketing research process. The case clearly states that as soon as someone tries their product, brand recognition is created, just because 70 percent of them repurchased the product. Bran non-recognition could be one of the reasons of why Guard does not have a lot of sales, compared to the other deodorant soaps. The promotion money should be allocated in all other regions, such as the Maritimes, Prairies, Alberta, and British Columbia.
Many members of parliament were not willing to compromise and come up with a solution to make Canada a better country. Surprisingly, Macdonald joined with the leader of the Liberals, George Brown, to form the Great Coalition. This was an alliance formed to make decision-making in Canada easier. Canada’s votes were always separated by the French and English who always voted against each other. Macdonald believed unity would help Canada solve its issues.
These nasal strips were targeted towards people who snore - which is age-related- people with allergies, and people with deviated septum’s. When Breathe Right’s success in Canada wasn’t what the company had anticipated it to be, they conducted a survey to find out why. The results showed that Canadians were simply unaware of the product or the benefits the product offered. Many people were sceptical about the results the product could have for being so simple. Breathe Right’s biggest problem was a lack of advertising.
It is odd, since in modern society, both the British and Americans commonly fail to acknowledge the great struggles conquered throughout the war. To Canadians, most of the history is inadequate recognizing the American perspective, weighing heavily on the British viewpoint.. For instance, there is often reference to the Loyalists or the Laura Secord incident when Upper Canada existed. A lack of shining lights on all perspectives causes our nation to have some partial opinions about the war’s overall gist. The Canadian War Museum’s 1812 exhibit provides insight on the British, American, Canadian, and Native American perspectives of the war, mainly focusing on what was gained and what was lost. “35,000 American, British, Canadian, and Native American men, women, and children were killed in action from the war or died from other causes” said writer, Donald R. Hickey.
The fact that the rich can leave this “boat” means that they are moving towards a better lifestyle, away from the struggles and hurdles of the common man. This distance or gap, between the rich and those who are not well off, I believe, is where the inequality in society is created, and increasingly growing in Canadian society. To begin with, I strongly believe that inequality is unhealthy for a society as it causes a huge gap between people, which does not allow for them to form a cohesive and cooperative society. The competition and resentment that results from this gap is unhealthy for a society, and even worse if people who work hard are not given their due, whereas those already well off are doing better. I agree with Cunningham’s evaluation of this gap between the rich and poor being one of the causes towards an existing inequality in society.
Child poverty has in fact been around for years, although I would like to focus more on child poverty today. How children are suffering from poverty in this day and age and what is being done to try and prevent child poverty to continue in the future. I would be more interested in looking at Child poverty right downtown Toronto Ontario. I feel as though this could be more beneficial to myself, because once I find out reasons for child poverty today in such a enormous city like Toronto I could than take the time too see what I could do to stop something like this. I live very close to Toronto it becomes more realistic that I myself could get out there and try to
There are many Canadian ethnic groups that have experienced forms of marginalization, and discrimination. Many of these separatist groups are characterized by their ethnic differences and are labelled as minority groups. A minority group is one that is given inferior status and less power in a society because of its ethnicity, cultural practices or religion (Ambert 88). Some examples of these groups are a number of Aboriginal and Quebecois groups in Canada. Between these two ethnic minorities there are many similarities and differences behind their experiences in the areas of marginalization, and discrimination.
