The Four Factors Of Canadian Citizenship
In this book, the author presents us with different perspective and thinking of Canadian social citizenship. The four factors of Canadian citizenship regime are also mentioned, which includes individualization and multiculturalism. Jenson introduces us to the challenges that Canada faces as a nation on the subject of citizenry and gives options and suggestions to solve the issue. Due to overcomplicating details of this text, I’ll just simply define “citizenship” with you.
What is citizenship? It is an individual’s identity, social status, responsibilities and rights. Some scholars refer it as a relationship between the state and individuals who find itself living within its border. The Canadian Citizenship Act was originally envisioned by
Paul Martin Sr. after visiting a battlefield cemetery in the post war era. He said: “Nothing has since epitomized the concept of our nation more poignantly for me than that cemetery. Of whatever origin, these men were all Canadian.” (P.3)
Personally, I think what Canadian Citizenship means to me is unity. Canada is a country with people from many different cultures, language, ethnic groups, and beliefs. As different as all this seem, it is what makes Canada a unique country. I believe as citizens of the country we should treat people with equality and respect. For a better country, we can start with obeying the laws and to keep peace with fellow citizens in order to enjoy the rights, freedom and protection that our government provides.
