1. I want to explore the amount of independence freedom that Pakistani culture and Canadian culture people have in their lives. This is the biggest difference that I have witnessed since I came to Canada.
There are numerous cultural differences between Canadians and Pakistanis.

I, personally, don’t understand the idea of honour killing and not letting the freedom to choose a carrier for the act of honour killing is bazar and idiotic; several people argue that the honour is for the persons own decent and respect but in my opinion killing is killing in no matter which form it might be practised in. Moreover, Pakistan is a Muslim country and religion plays crucial role in every Pakistanis culture, but killing not only for the honour but for any other reasons are considered sin in Islam. People have themselves found a solution of the act that if a girl abandons their family rules or values they will practise honour killing as a solution to save their own
