Respect Essay

I am very lucky to live in Canada, where this beautiful country has not been shattered by destruction of the land and towns, but rather provides protection from it, and delivers respectful education, freedom, and safety so that we don’t need to live a decided life, or a life of fear.

What is “respectful education”? Well, you could say that it is education that teaches children not only curriculum, but also how to be respectful to everyone and everything around them, you may say that it is education that some places can’t give, you could also say that it is great education that provides knowledge and protection, but I say it is all of these things. How you may ask? Well, not only does Canadian education provide the chance to teach students how to respect one another, bit it also delivers; great curricular lessons and events, that some countries can’t afford to give, and is strict on the welfare and behaviour of students, so they can have a safe education. There are also some other ideas I have about “respectful education”. For example, the extra curricular activities that some other countries don’t provide, such as; sports teams, clubs, committees, and student council, that not only improve their academic but also their physical skills, so that they may receive scholarships for school.

Why would I mention freedom? We know Canada is a free country, and we have the freedom of speech, but why else would I want to mention freedom? What else can we Canadians do freely? Well, it is partially what we can do freely, but it is also what our Government lets us do freely. For example, our government gives us the freedom to vote for different parties, but how could we do that if our government decided to throw away our freedom and turn to dictatorship? If we were in a dictatorship, we would have to put up with disliked liberal and federal parties and we would be controlled by the government’s laws (we’d be the government’s pets. We’d have to

    Canada is one of the most diverse countries in the world (Pavlich, 2011). As a result, Canadian society has continued to evolve over the years to match the population changes. Canadian laws are universal and it governs everyone; regardless of cultural differences and practices (Pavlich, 2011). Therefore, the laws are expected to be upheld by everyone to maintain order in its society. Furthermore, immigration laws have made it considerably easier for people to settle in Canada. As a result, the negative and positive aspects of each culture are exported with the immigrant population. Furthermore, commitment to social justice, freedom and respect for cultural differences makes Canadian society unique. However, cultural practices differ in each…

    e Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, patriated in 1982, is arguably the most fundamental base of law that exists in Canada. Section 2 of the Charter, also known as the Fundamental Freedoms, is a crucial part of the Charter because it protects citizens and gives them the freedom to follow and practice their own religion, have their own beliefs and opinions, express themselves as they wish and gather in peaceful assemblies (Jobb). Section 2(b) of the Charter, also known as the “freedom of expression”, states that Canadians have the “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication” (Class Note, Al-Hassani, 10/10/2014). This freedom is crucial in a democratic society because…

    Canada’s topography is spectacular, you can go from oceans to lakes and from deserts to rainforests all in a day's drive, or drive across this vast nation and experience waves surging onto shore, fields of wheat dancing in the wind, cobble stone roads where Canada's first settlers had a dream for a new nation, and cliffs looking out onto what seems an endless sea. The beauty of my country makes me proud. Canada is the least racist country in the world, in my opinion. Ethnic backgrounds are mixed which makes Canada hard to define. Every culture has their own unique qualities and strengths; in Canada their qualities have merged to become one. This new nationality created from blended backgrounds is Canadian. In other countries a lot of people don’t accept ethnic minorities. In Canada, we treasure the various cultures that reside here. The more ethnic background we incorporate into our society the richer we will…

    Democracy gives citizens the right to create decisions that affect them, including the right to vote for a member of each level of the government. Moreover, democracy is prominently based on equality, public will and the public opinion (Gupta). I am proud that Canadians have a democratic system of government since the fundamental political power is settled within the citizens. Furthermore, it is more efficient, stable and firm to have this system of government since the representatives are obligated to serve the people and their needs (Gupta). Last but not least, the healthcare system is another feature that makes me proud of being a Canadian. The majority of citizens love Canada’s healthcare system (Nader). Additionally Canada holds the 30th position for the country with the most outstanding health care ("World Health…"). Canada has 15 different healthcare systems to ensure its people are treated to be healthy and strong (Nader). Also, its systems provide healthcare coverage for Canadian citizens for their entire life. From the minute, an individual is born in Canada he/she is covered for health care (Nader). Canada’s healthcare systems put the people first not the profits. To conclude, I ranked Canada’s health care, democratic system of government and multiculturalism really high because they have become symbols that have defined Canada and as a Canadian, I am proud to have these symbols represent such a strong and native…

    If a country can be defined by its citizens then the one thing that makes Canada the best country in the world is its people. According to John Buchan, a popular Governor General of Canada (1935-40), immigrant groups should retain their individuality and each make its contribution to the national character; while they cherish their own special loyalties and traditions, they cherish not less that new loyalty and tradition which springs from their union. Immigrants were more than welcome to keep their traditional identity and they shall contribute for the benefit of this country but they also have to respect their new Canadian identity. I am glad that people of Canada are not a society that blends together to form one basic cultural norm based on the dominant culture but instead we have given the right to retain our culture.…
