Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: The education system is just one niche that experiences challenges from cultural diversity, and this is mostly due to a lack of knowledge and a reluctance to accept diversity. In this study, we will look at the impact of cultural conflict in education and review the various multicultural policies implemented in Canada’s education system over the years. Canadian universities have become some of the most ethnoculturally diverse globally, owing to immigration and a massive enrollment of international students. However, as one would expect, the differences between different cultures are not always appreciated. In education specifically, Canada has had a history of implementing culturally discriminating policies, with conflict also arising among students in the present.

Download or read book The Tangled Garden written by Richard Stursberg and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google (the FAANGs) has created an unprecedented challenge to Canada's news, television and film businesses. In this book Richard Stursberg offers a brief account — often based on his insider's experience — of how Canada's cultural industries were built. And he explains that independent Canadian media and cultural industries are unlikely to survive due to the large share of ad dollars and audience attention captured by the big digital media companies. Faced with similar challenges, many governments around the world have responded by protecting and strengthening their national cultural life. Canada stands out for its passivity. Richard Stursberg identifies the path that would assure a strong continued news media, and a reasonable share of audiences for Canadian creative work. He warns that time for action is short, and many more media outlets will soon disappear, like the thirty-six newspapers shut down by the Toronto Star-Postmedia deal in 2017. Richard Stursberg's knowledge and experience across a wide range of cultural organizations in Canada make this an important and informative book on a topic of vital significance. At the same time this is an engaging account for any reader who wants to continue to enjoy Canadian stories and hear Canadian voices in the media and on our screens.
Download or read book Language Schooling and Cultural Conflict written by Chad Gaffield and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1987-07-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Bilingualism was at the heart of controversy in Ontario politics one hundred years ago when Anglophones burned effigies of Louis Riel and Francophones hanged flaming images of John A. Macdonald. Strong public reaction to Bill 8 made bilingualism one of the most pressing issues in the 1987 provincial election campaign. Now available in paperback, Language, Schooling and Cultural Conflict recasts this central debate of Canadian history and calls into question both the theory and method of established studies in cultural conflict and ethnic identity. The book thus provides a very dramatic example of how recent research strategies can benefit our understanding of Canadian history and cultural affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In our global society, challenging conflicts abound in personal, business, government, and international settings. Many of these conflicts are complicated by layers of miscommunication, cultural misunderstandings, and completely different ways of looking at the world. These conflicts cannot be solved by goodwill or sincere intentions alone. In our multicultural world, we need new tools to address gaps in communication and understanding and the conflicts that flow from them. This book answers this need in groundbreaking ways that cut through complexity, replacing confusion with clarity." - book jacket.
Download or read book The Conflict of European and Eastern Algonkian Cultures 1504 1700 written by Alfred Goldsworthy Bailey and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1969-12-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement of one cultural group into the territory of another has always produced conflict: a conflict which is resolved at times by the obliteration of one group, but more often by a gradual fusion of elements drawn from both. This study examines the conflict between the Europeans and the Indians precipitated by the arrival of the French in the New World. The Indians were necessarily affected by the fur trade and the religious and social development of New France, and the meeting of contrary cultures resulted in most cases in the obliteration of that of the Indian. However, a fusion of Indian and European elements sometimes occurred, resulting in the birth of a ‘Canadian’ culture. The process has been repeated with the immigration of every new cultural group to Canada. This study analyses the conflict and traces the fusion of Canadian culture in its initial stage. First published in 1937, the book has proved an importance contribution to an area of early Canadian history which has been receiving renewed attention. This edition contains the original text with the addition of an index and a new chapter appraising some of the leading developments of the past few years.

Book excerpt: “If you fear that cultural, political, and class differences are tearing America apart, read this important book.” —Jonathan Haidt, Ph.D., author of The Righteous Mind Who will rule in the twenty-first century: allegedly more disciplined Asians, or allegedly more creative Westerners? Can women rocket up the corporate ladder without knocking off the men? How can poor kids get ahead when schools favor the rich? As our planet gets smaller, cultural conflicts are becoming fiercer. Rather than lamenting our multicultural worlds, Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner reveal how we can leverage our differences to mend the rifts in our workplaces, schools, and relationships, as well as on the global stage. Provocative, witty, and painstakingly researched, Clash! not only explains who we are, it also envisions who we could become.
Download or read book A History of Canadian Culture written by Jonathan Franklin William Vance and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From Dorset sculpture to the Barenaked Ladies, award-winning historian Jonathan F. Vance reveals a storyteller's ear for narrative.In a country this diverse, 'culture' has different meanings. Vance tells a story from the wind-swept Arctic where a stranded Innu woman, fighting to survive, took the time to decorate her clothing with rich designs. A British explorer was amazed at her efforts, but Vance reminds us of the inseparable connection between life and art in Inuit culture (the Innu word for 'breathe' also means 'to make poetry,' and both derive from the word for 'the soul'). No surprise that Aboriginal culture began to change irrevocably with the arrival of more Europeans (who brought their own ideas about culture). But that is another tale in Vance's fascinating History.Vance considers a range of key topics. Where, for example, is the divide between 'culture' and mass entertainment? He also considers how the hot-button issues of Canadian culture-government funding for the arts, the cultural brain drain, the drive to preserve distinctly Canadian forms of expression, concerns over copyright protection, the economic impact of cultural industries-can be traced back to previous centuries. And he shines new light on other key areas, such as the unique culture of Quebec and the CBC."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
Download or read book Mother Margaret and the Rhinoceros Cafe written by Radhika Sekar and published by Perth, ON : Kaleidoscope Books ; Victoria, B.C. : Trafford. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critically acclaimed by writers and gurus alike, this kaleidoscope book of stories deeply probes cross-cultural conflict in Canadian society. In one story, a Dene settlement springs to life around one mesmerizing character with nothing more than voice and desire, and magic happens. In another, points of view clash on "infidels," "a good marriage," lust, love, office politics and elitist power. Would-be Canadians play a psychological endgame in the sinister and shadowy world of illegal immigrants and false papers. A dysfunctional family story set in another First Nations settlement shows how love triumphs as a bright kid struggles against drugs and evil. One of the stories about hate and love pits Afro-Canadians against each other. In another, a house is sold, and the neighbours speculate about the new owner: "I picture a family with eleven kids. Hells Angels. A Mormon with three wives." "Abe" turns cross-cultural conflict on its head by testing the stamina of a central Asian man in a Canadian construction site in winter. Two white ex-Winnipeggers in exotic Bombay figure in a richly layered story of old love, rejection and survival, benevolence and antagonism. "Inca's Return" presents images of the interdependence of the human and the natural. "Swearing at the Queen" rounds off the collection with a delightful romp through political correctness and prejudice in a courtroom. Of interest to reader of romance, mystery-crime-suspense and general fiction and to all readers who love a good yarn, plus students and professionals such as educators, political officials, public servants and researchers in Canadian Studies, International Development, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, Cultural/Social Anthropology, Canadian Literature, Geopolitics, Government Policy and programs--any field in which cultural matters are key. This book reflects the increasing cultural plurality of Canadian society and literature. It brings new perspectives on the poor and the developing world--to some an exotic, strange geo-world existing partly right here at home, in our own North and in out cities.
Download or read book Conflict and Compromise written by Raymond B. Blake and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by its strong narrative, Conflict and Compromise presents Canadian history chronologically, allowing a better understanding of the interrelationships between events. Its main objective is to demonstrate that although Canadian history has been marked by cleavages and conflicts, there has been a continual process of negotiation and a need for compromise which has enabled Canada to develop into arguably one of the most successful and pluralistic countries in the world. The authors have drawn from all genres characterizing the present state of Canadian historiography, including social, military, cultural, political, and economic approaches. In doing so their aim is to challenge readers to engage with debates and interpretations about the past rather than simply to study for an exam. The second volume begins with the nation-building project that got underway in 1864 and ends in the present. The book is illustrated with over 60 images, maps, and figures, all designed to support its mission to provide intellectual curiosity.
Download or read book Caught Between Omissions Exploring Culture Conflict Among Second Generation South Asian Women in Canada written by Amita Handa and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada, popular and commonsense understandings of tensions within immigrant families and between the white mainstream population and non-white immigrant communities have defined the conflict as between "cultures." I investigate how discourses of "culture conflict" are historically produced, and have come to have strategic, political and ideological significances. I argue that "culture conflict," far from being a descriptive metaphor of tension, is encoded in modern (normative) discourses of East and West and positions women in specific ways. In this thesis I draw from interviews with young South Asian women and South Asian community workers in Toronto and an analysis of Canadian mainstream representations of South Asian culture to explore the production and negotiation of the meanings of race, multiculturalism and identity. Second generation diasporic South Asian women struggle to construct an identity that speaks to their experience of being South Asian in Canada. In so doing they often unsettle, contest and resist normative constructions of both "South Asian" and "Canadian" identities. I explore how young women negotiate their identities across various cultural/community/ethnic boundaries and historical domains. I argue that it is in the moments of crossing and resisting norms that the boundaries around community/cultural/ethnic/racial identity become apparent. Their articulations, challenges and resistances to prevailing narratives of "South Asian-ness" and "Canadian-ness" set them apart and/or exclude them from dominant readings of what it means to be young South Asian women in Canada. While the struggle for young South Asian women is seemingly about the contradiction between "restriction" ("South Asian-ness") and "freedom" ("Canadian-ness"), underlying this tension is an East-West battle that is rooted in a colonial discourse of cultural domination and difference. This contestation is about what constitutes South Asian cultural practice and tradition on the one hand, and what is permissible as Canadian cultural practice and tradition on the other. This thesis explores the ways in which gender, race and sexuality work together in constructing and imagining the narratives of community and nation. I also argue that notions of nation, ethnicity, cultural authenticity and retention, and specific usages of youth and womanhood, are characteristically modern phenomena. I maintain that as a mode of understanding tensions for immigrant youth, discourses of "culture conflict" are also a way of managing and containing the "threat" to white centrality within the Canadian social political and economic power hierarchy. It obscures the workings of race and racism and the normative construction of whiteness as well as the ways in which nation and community are gendered and raced.
