In addition, it would affect producers of Canadian media such as Canadian singers, songwriters, and Canadian TV shows or movies by protecting their content and ensuring that it is viewed or on the other hand, spreading the idea that their content is not up to the mark in comparison to imported international media. It also affects all the non-Canadian media and its respective producers as it could potentially harm their popularity meaning their content could be removed and replaced by Canadian content which can devastate their career and life. The CRTC and CanCon should play a substantial role in today’s global world and should have the power to immediately influence radio-telecommunication and television. The CRTC and CanCon ensure Canadian values, morales, and collective identity are effectively connoted, Canadian artists and media receive equal opportunities to display their talent, and monoculture is effectively eradicated and the culture…

By the end of WWII the American culture and lifestyle made its way into the Australian pop culture mainly impacting on teenagers and their ways of entertainment. During the late 1950’s, television spread throughout Australia as many improvements and adjustments were made to the reception and price, therefore, many people began to purchase it mainly for entertainment purposes. This caused a significant impact on the Australian culture as most people were influenced by what they saw on T.V, which was mainly American programs. In 1959, the top ten popular programs on the Australian T.V were all made by American productions, which consisted of shows like Perry Mason, The Flintstones and I Love Lucy. In the early 1950’s, 75% of the movies that were…
To What Extent Should Canada Continue To Use Legislation To Promote Canadian Culture Content On Radio, Internet, And TV? Canada is a land of immigrants, and it’s highly diverse culture is what makes it one of the top countries in the world to reside in. When a major portion of a population starts to follow a specific trend, millions of identities are affected. English is considered a common language throughout the world, but in some countries being able to speak English defines your status and where you stand within a society. In countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China, some parents decide to never introduce their child to his native language and since a young age communicate in English with their kids.…
Prime Minister Laurier had high hopes for the growing importance of Canada on the world stage when he said, “Canada will fill the 20th Century.” He expected Canada to continue having a more important role in the world over the next 100 years. Although Canada did not become a global “superpower” in the 20th Century like the U.S.A it nonetheless improved its global reputation around the world militarily, politically, and economically. This can be definitively illustrated by the fact that Canada was included in the G7 in 1976, the Group of the 7 most economically important countries in the world that meet regularly to discuss global economic and social issues and includes Canada, Britain, Germany, France, USA, Japan, and…

Culture is defined as a collective unit which distinguishes one group from another. It is often used to compare individuals from one country to those of another, as cultures and countries are often closely related. By observing Canada and its unique social dynamics, one can see that it is possible to have variations of culture within a country, province, or even city. A perfect example of such is Montreal, where cultures continuously clash and adapt on a daily basis. These differences of culture are based on historical events and language. Due to the facts that Quebec is part of Canada and that it borders the United States, one would expect that Francophones would relate much more to the Anglophone community, but it is not the case.…
Recently published in “The Star.com” and “National Post” Canada was awarded the well deserved title of second coolest country. Out of a total of sixty countries, many Canadians were not surprised by the second place rank. That could only be expected as most citizens of Canada are familiar with the advantages of the diverse country. However, more people, near and far, should be aware of what an dominant country Canada is. Canada is arguably a “cool” place for everyone in a variety of ways, specific to every individual. In Canada, the distinct talent of every individual is valued, respected, and catered to. Canada would not be where it is today without each individual contributing unique efforts, so all contributions…
To be Canadian means to be able to look around you and only see various different shades of green in the many diverse types of trees. It means your body is pumped with adrenaline when your favourite hockey team comes on to the ice, and it’s that moment when you sing the national anthem proud, with a smile on your face. To be Canadian means to respect others opinions and religions, to accept one another no matter the race, religion, or sexuality of another. Canada has been the most accepting country for a very long time now and our peacekeeping title remains the same. Canada is a beautiful country, and I am, along with many others, blessed to live in such a country.…

Jessica D'Aprile, I thought that your example of the Twilight film and books as an example of pop culture were an excellent choice and I agree with you. This is a series that definitely meets the requirements of pop culture. The book series became extremely successful and the film became a high grossing film that spawned numerous sequels. This had a big effect in pop culture because at the time audiences were responding to it. This was a series that showed a different and modern take on vampires and romance. Although, "the series faded away", other shows such as "The Vampire Diaries", developed from this series. Other authors such as E.L. James (the author of "Fifty Shades Of Grey") had their books expanded into films as a result of this success.…
A large part of Canada’s identity specifically is diversity, it is so important for a country and communities to be diverse and culturally accepting. Seeing diversity portrayed in media encourage people and small and large communities of people to welcome new cultures and to shares theirs passions, religions, symbols, and foods. This is something that in Canada should be shown and demonstrated more frequently TV shows, ads, commercials, and movies. By showing it in media is making a statement that it is good and it is okay to be diverse; it is alright for different cultures to collaborate and share what they like. Unfortunately this isn’t necessarily shown as much as should be in our Western Culture.…

This essay will prove that graduating students in Ontario should only study Canadian literature in a Grade 12 English course. While good writers exist in all cultures, Ontario students should only study Canadian writers. Because we need to become more familiar with our literature. Three reasons for this are; the need to focus on our own Canadian culture despite being surrounded by other cultures, the need to promote and establish our own writers, and the need to encourage younger Canadian authors.…
