Stereotypes are a result of personal past experiences mixed with the experiences of generations before. Stereotypes are derived from truth but morphed to be too general and become offencive. They are everywhere and some associated with LA Canada are that it’s populated by rich asians who are all smart with strict parents. This stereotype exists because it derives from truth. Some of the population falls into that category. The reason it’s a stereotype is because it throws everyone into that category and offers no diversity or uniqueness. This misrepresentation that stereotypes bring makes people have a possibly negative or harsh opinion about a community, area, or person.…

Over the years, French Canadians have shown their dissatisfaction of their treatment with respect to English Canadians, the Canadian government and the ROC. Due to this, the relationship between English and French Canadians has been heavily strained. The conscription crisis of 1917 was a major event causing tensions between French and English Canadians. During this time very few French Candians volunteered to go to war as their loyalty sided with Quebec and the French rather than with the British and the ROC. With many Canadian soldiers dead and wounded from overseas battle, Prime Minister Borden was forced to turning to conscription as a means of increasing the number of soldiers. Although Borden had promised against conscription, in 1917 he set out the Military Services Act. Although all French Candaian MP’s were opposed to this act, as they believed the French owed nothing to Britain, the act was passed and conscription was set. This enraged French Canadians and in Montreal violence and rioting took place. Although the war ended only a few months later, for years to come a wedge would be put between the French and English Canadians. Later on in 1968 the Parti Quebecois was formed by Rene Levesque, which would highlight the difference in views between French and English Candians. The main goal of the PQ was to make Quebec a soveirgn nation as well as protection of the French language in Canada. Under Rene Levesque’s provincial government bill 101 was passed. This would set the official language of Quebec as French, meaning Canadian made products would be written in French, and government processes as well as businesses had the right to be carried out in French. This goes to show the strong nationalistic pride of French Canadians as well as the difference in views between French and English Canadians. Also in the 1960’s, a group called the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) was formed. The FLQ was a…
First and foremost, a nations identity is an extremely hard thing to distinguish because it includes such a large population spanning over a very big area. Canada's identity is even more unclear because Canadians are less outspoken about their identity than some countries might be, like the us for example. The pride of Canadians is not as highly promoted as the United States of America, but the strong voice of Canada can be heard. Within these compositions are many different views containing various beliefs related to Canadian identity, yet, they all seem to include the same similarities. Over the battle about Canadian identity the main subjects have been Canada's firm grasp on its heritage, our extremely multicultural society and our extremely diverse landscape.…

Every Canadian community is a gold mine of diverse people, cultures, traditions, and history. Rediscovering their wealth goes to the heart of our Canadian nature. It is the knowledge and high regard of their roots and sense of belonging at home, school, place of work, or place of worship, to name only a few, that strengthens their feelings of who they are as Canadians. If someone has been described as Canadian, it means that he is a part of Canadian society. Canadians are free. They have the freedom to think for themselves, speak what they wish, and live their lives to the fullest, in turn having certain collective ideas, traits, and qualities. Generally, they possess a Canadian attitude, an acceptance of Canadian multiculturalism, and most importantly, Canadian pride.…

The largest areas of culturally diverse societies consist within the 5 major metropolitan cites of Canada which are, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary (Mercer, 1995, 174). Most crimes occur in these large metropolitan cities, where many cultures are mixed within the large communities. As a result of many of the large Canadian cities being home to a majority group of people from a distinct array of ethnic identities, patterns of crime are often quite similar. For example, statistics have shown a large population of at risk black youth in the City of Toronto often indicted for street crimes. Or, the City of Vancouver, where the Asian youth gang phenomenon is at large (Mercer, 1995, 181). It is very important that the police forces in these communities represent or to the least have knowledge and sensitivity of these ethnic groups. Many of these at risk youth are either immigrants or first generation Canadians; therefore the police must be able to service them with the sensitivity of their background. Although, there have been efforts to diversify Canadian police there is still much work to be done. According to Geoffrey Li, the Law Commission of Canada has noticed through census statistics that: “in spite of concerted efforts to increase diversity in police services in Canada, women, members of visible and ethnic minority groups, as well as Aboriginal peoples, remain significantly underrepresented, compared to their representation in the communities being policed"(Li, 2008, 6). The enforcement and motivation for a more diverse police force is extremely important as the face of Canadian society is becoming less predominantly white males and more women, ethnic minorities, and Aboriginal, fueling the…
Immigrants from numerous countries’ existence is a part of the nascent Canada which became a sign of Canada - Multicultural. The third or fourth generation of immigrants are indoctrinated with Canadian culture knowledge, so their ancestors’ culture are revoked in their daily life. Their appearances is the justification that many people read it as their identities which confused various people about to identify themselves. Immigrants’ identities are awry because of their evident look enslaved their freedom to become a total Canadian. Immigrants propagate the standpoints about identities and announced they are oppressed by the confusion of self identities. The term “culture” often conjures up large groups of people who have activities, attitudes, and attributes in common. And more often than not, the word is used to refer smaller minority groups within a larger society. However, this article remind us that units as small as a family or seemingly monolithic as an entire nation are rich with cultural identity and experiences that direct, define and distinguish its members within society.…
