“fifty-four percent say that multiculturalism makes them feel very proud to be Canadian, and only 8% say it does not make them proud at all” (Andrew Parkin and Matthew Mendelsohn, 5). This demonstrates that multiculturalism encourages racial and ethnic harmony, in addition to cross-cultural understanding. It allows citizens to maintain their own cultural identity and possess strong feelings of patriotism. Furthermore, the 1971 Multiculturalism Policy promotes the idea that all citizens maintain…

In the country we live in the ideas, rules, and laws that make us who we are as a country and represent the American value system are constantly changing, due to the diversity of the American population. How we as individuals define diversity and what we see as being diverse has a lot to do with how we interpret ourselves and those around us. In the world we live in today as young Americans, we, as students have been exposed to an innumerable amount of situations that expose us to the diversity…

When asking yourself “What matters more, Social class or Race?” there are multiple concepts that must be addressed in order to approach this complex question. These are more than just words. They are how an individual identifies themselves. An individual experiences life differently depending on whether one identifies as ethnically ‘Black’ or ‘White’.

conversation and standpoint of often overlooked anti-Asian semantics. Through the hostile environment that stemmed from World War II, Yamamoto in “Wilshire Bus” uses the apparent racism as well as the division and discord between different oppressed ethnic Asian groups to explain Esther’s identity and position in society. The story of “Wilshire Bus” takes place at some time…

American flags" (104-105). At that point in time and even to this day there is a glorification of one's destruction of culture and ethnic identity, clear in the response of "thunderous applause" for these men's transformation (105). The whole point of an assembly line that Ford creates and encourages, is to be another faceless cog in this machine. In the end of his…

Throughout the American history there have been influxes of various groups from around the world. These ethnic influences have been documented since the 1400s when Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain and came across the indigenous people of America.

Inuit and Haida There are many different tribes in the world. Two specific tribes are the Inuit and Haida. Do you realize how similar the Inuit and Haida are, but at the same time how different they are? They’re similar and different in every category, but I really want to focus on clothing and food. Then, I want to recap some more universals. To begin, the Inuit and Haida have many things in common and unalike in the category clothing. One similar thing is that no women in either…

various methods of how to manage diversity which came to be known as multiculturalism (Vertovec, 2007). The ‘Race relations act 1965’ was taken out to promote equality among different ethnic individuals to live in harmony, especially migrant. Discrimination was one of the key problems faced by migrants, and other ethnic minority people, this act was taken out to avoid such discrimination and to make individuals feel more part of the wider society.

All the kids are doing it. They’re doing it in the park, in their yard, between buildings, and just about anywhere there’s two structures to tie down to. I’m talking about the latest sport activity trend, slacklining. Hikers first used slacklining way back in the 70’s. They used the activity as a way to exercise their balance in between hiking adventures. Now, it has grown from an exercise to an everyday activity. The people who participate in slacklining, are often humorously called slackers.…
