This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,5, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Anglistik), course: Academic Writing, language: English, abstract: Whether Canada is as multicultural as it seems or if it is just the country of the encounter of different cultures without bringing them closer to each other is often discussed talking about diversity within countries. The population of Canada is culturally mixed because so many people from different cultural background live there. Nevertheless the globally admired multiculturalism of Canada is often regarded as superficially by other countries. It is necessary for students to be informed about how it is possible for some countries like Canada to host such a variety of cultures. Apart from that, they get to know how people are able to live peacefully together although they come from different cultural background and pay attention to different traditions. I analyze the differences between other countries and Canada in terms of multiculturalism and show how Canada portrays itself. This analysis finds out whether it is reality or ideology the inhabitants of Canada display. Afterwards I present methods of teaching the cultural diversity of Canada in school.

Download or read book Revisiting Multiculturalism in Canada written by Shibao Guo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971 Canada was the first nation in the world to establish an official multiculturalism policy with an objective to assist cultural groups to overcome barriers to integrate into Canadian society while maintaining their heritage language and culture. Since then Canada’s practice and policy of multiculturalism have endured and been deemed as successful by many Canadians. As well, Canada’s multiculturalism policy has also enjoyed international recognition as being pioneering and effectual. Recent public opinion suggests that an increasing majority of Canadians identify multiculturalism as one of the most important symbols of Canada’s national identity. On the other hand, this apparent successful record has not gone unchallenged. Debates, critiques, and challenges to Canadian multiculturalism by academics and politicians have always existed to some degree since its policy inception over four decades ago. In the current international context there has been a growing assault on, and subsequent retreat from, multiculturalism in many countries. In Canada debates about multiculturalism continue to emerge and percolate particularly over the past decade or so. In this context, we are grappling with the following questions: • What is the future of multiculturalism and is it sustainable in Canada? • How is multiculturalism related to egalitarianism, interculturalism, racism, national identity, belonging and loyalties? • What role does multiculturalism play for youth in terms of their identities including racialization? • How does multiculturalism play out in educational policy and the classroom in Canada? These central questions are addressed by contributions from some of Canada’s leading scholars and researchers in philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, education, religious studies, youth studies, and Canadian studies. The authors theorize and discuss the debates and critiques surrounding multiculturalism in Canada and include some very important case studi
Download or read book Ethnicity Politics and Public Policy written by Harold Martin Troper and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada has become a nation in which ethnic pluralism must be balanced with national unity. Focusing on information derived from case studies - documents, interviews, and participant observation - the ten essays in this collection introduce the reader to specific problems that arise in an ethnically diverse society. The various essay address a wide range of issues. Original research into visible minority police, Haitian teachers in Quebec schools, and the matching of worker and patient/client ethnicities within health and social services sheds light on the complex situations faced in an increasingly pluralistic society. The intersection (or absence) of ethnic polities and ethnic political representation is also examined. An essay presenting the heterogeneous nature of the Canadian Hip-Hop scene counters reductive stereotypes, while studies of female genital operations and wife abuse in Muslim culture suggest ways of understanding traditions that radically break with the social norms of a liberal-democratic society in order to create and implement policy. This richly textured volume offers a comprehensive illustration of the problems and prospects of pluralism, effectively mirroring the diversity of the issues that arise when theories and goals of cultural sensitivity confront current Canadian realities.

Download or read book Multiculturalism Within a Bilingual Framework written by Eve Haque and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the time of its inception in Canada, multiculturalism has generated varied reactions, none more starkly than between French and English Canadians. In this groundbreaking new work, Eve Haque examines the Government of Canada's attempt to forge a national policy of unity based on 'multiculturalism within a bilingual framework, ' a formulation that emerged out of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism (1963-70). Uncovering how the policies of bilingualism and multiculturalism are inextricably linked, Haque investigates the ways in which they operate together as part of our contemporary national narrative to favour the language and culture of Canada's two 'founding nations' at the expense of other groups. Haque uses previously overlooked archival material, including transcripts of royal commission hearings, memos, and reports, to reveal the conflicts underlying the emergence of this ostensibly seamless policy. By integrating two important areas of scholarly concern -- the evolution and articulation of language rights in Canada, and the history of multiculturalism in the country, Haque provides powerful insight into ongoing asymmetries between Canada's various cultural and linguistic groups."--Publisher's website.
Download or read book Canadistan written by Sarah Yasini and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture and values of Canada have been long gone. It is now a multicultural country, but is it really? We Canadians have forgotten our real culture, from playing hockey, celebrating our former Prime Minister's achievements, and eating poutine with gravy. Canada has been celebrating cultures around the world, because they believe that "cultures are all equal." No, they are not. Islamic cultures promote pedophilia, honour killings, and child marriage, all while claiming that "it's their culture." People are throwing a blind eye to this topic, and not protesting for people's rights in the Middle East. People these days are fake feminists. You can not support Sharia law, and at the same time be a feminist, the two don't go together. We now hold thousands of refugees, with many in support of it. When crimes happen because of refugees, people are more concerned about "Islamophobia," which doesn't even exist. Media says that the Jihadis were "mentally ill.", and that "Islam means peace." How is a ideology so violent not taken seriously in our country? The more we ignore the violence that Muslims ahold, more violent and sex attacks will happen. We say "diversity is our strength", but is diversity really a good thing? England is the powerhouse of mass immigration. England is not the same anymore, with Sharia zones, mosques being built at a rapid rate, and Muslims controlling the whole country. Pierre Trudeau changed Canada forever by making it a multicultural country, allowing many immigrants from different countries to settle in Canada for a new and better life. Immigrating is good for someone seeking economic opportunity, but is Multiculturalism really a great and beautiful thing? Absolutely not. From all the useless protests that happen in the West, such as the annual Women's March and the Slut Walk, why are people forgetting the very thing that oppresses and abuses woman around the world? That's right, Islam. Now, in Canada, the Muslim population is increasing, and fast.With people in the Women's March embracing the hijab, and even reciting the azaan, why aren't feminists fighting for women's rights in the Middle East? Muslims want Sharia law, that is what they are taught to believe from a very young age. Canada is not a Sharia country, it believes in freedom, and Democracy. Islam shouldn't be in the West, they aren't compatible with each other. We Canadians should stand up for ourselves, and not let anyone take our country away from us, before it's too late. Sarah Yasini is a high school student from Ontario, Canada. She is a free speech advocate, and runs her own blog called @Sarahyasini.blog, in which she criticises Islam, feminism, and political correctness. In the future, she aspires to be a lawyer.
Download or read book Multiculturalism in Canada written by Hugh Donald Forbes and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalism is often thought to be defined by its commitment to diversity, inclusivity, sensitivity, and tolerance, but these established values sometimes require contrary practices of homogenization, exclusion, insensitivity, and intolerance. Multiculturalism in Canada clarifies what multiculturalism is by relating it to more basic principles of equality, freedom, recognition, authenticity, and openness. Forbes places both official Canadian multiculturalism and Quebec's semi-official interculturalism in their historical and constitutional setting, examines their relations to liberal democratic core values, and outlines a variety of practical measures that would make Canada a more open country and a better illustration of what a commitment to egalitarian cultural pluralism now means. Consisting of a series of connected essays-including careful considerations of the works of Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor-this book provides the first comprehensive account of multiculturalism in Canada.

Book excerpt: Anthropologists have always put language at the centre of their agenda. So too have linguists. Anthropological linguistics, the amalgam of the two disciplines, aims to document and examine how language mirrors social structure and cultural-specific thought patterns. Linguistic Anthropology: A Brief Introduction--the third edition of Marcel Danesi's popular text--provides a concrete method for studying the relation between language and society. This book is ideal for introductory-level courses in linguistics that adopt a cultural focus and is also suitable for supplementary use in more theoretical linguistics courses. The new edition has been restructured and streamlined to make it a better fit for one-semester courses. Written in Danesi's accessible and engaging style, this book will also appeal to a broad audience of language students, scholars, and enthusiasts.
