Comparison Of Life In Nunavut And Canada

Have you ever heard of enchanted tribes? I have been researching the first people of Canada.In this essay you will learn that the Inuit,The Plains,and the Northwest Coast people. They all have a lot in common and a lot not in common.

April 1st, 1999 a new territory was created when new boundaries were drawn in Canada’s northern territory, the Northwest Territories. The Inuik people that lived in the Northwest Territories were the reason behind the motivation for the separation. After a long hard process, filled with agreements and disagreements, Nunavut was finally declared its own territory and was separated from the Northwest Territories.

Demographic characteristics play a major role, affecting communities in Canada. Three main demographic characteristics that affect a country are population growth rate, population density, and the dependency load of a country. These characteristics can have a beneficial impact, as well as a negative impact, on communities in Canada.

In Inuit housing have air tight crowded and are inadequately ventilated (e.g schools) with that air is passed from one person to another.

Societal Change contributes to an ever changing society in Canada. Two distinct adaptations that contribute to this developing society include Immigration and Equality. Immigration was almost non-existent in 1939, with Canada being a largely white settler dominion. As the years progressed, Immigration began to increase until Canada moved to become a multicultural, multiracial society at its current stage in 2017. By 2039, I would expect Canada to be even more multicultural, taking into account the Syrian Refugee crisis, many more refugees will be coming to Canada, thus influencing this idea of more racially diverse community. Equality between sexes was also something that contributed to this changing society in Canada. Women moved from being

A large amount of aboriginal people in Canada currently suffer from a cultural crisis that the indigenous culture fade away in many years, resulting in lack of culture diversity and aboriginal psychological issue in such developed country. Because aboriginal children are pushed into residential school and lived far away from their home and parents, it is a proliferating pace of eliminating aboriginal people’s civilization in future generations and also psychological brutality. The loss of culture and language, the loss of parenting skills, the agony of being separated from family, from community many years would contribute to an alienation,

The Canadian people have always prided themselves as champions of democracy and are universally respected for their record on human rights. Although holistically this could be argued, especially when compared to the United States and other Western states, the record concerning Aboriginals, both past and present, has yet to live up to their self-set standard. Defined simply as anyone who traces his/her ancestry back to pre-European colonization, there exist mass diversity within its community. Although various political actors dispute the actual number of Aboriginals, Statistics Canada reported in 2006 that 1,678,200 people indicated they were ethnically Aboriginal or roughly 5.4 percent of the population (Statistics Canada: Population Counts).

Women attain higher education, have greater control of their bodies, make their own choices, and work in all professions, including politics. Obviously, women have thus benefited from this value change, and in my opinion, that alone makes modern Quebec a superior society to the older one. I would contend, however, that men have benefited as well, for they too are now freer to choose a lifestyle that appeals to them, rather than the one that men are expected to live. They also benefit from the inclusion of individuals with alternate skills and viewpoints in Quebec’s public sphere, and from greater protection of their own rights against gender discrimination. Moreover, a society that cares about gender equality is more likely to care about other types of equality as well, and in my opinion, this is true in the case of Quebec.

First Nations have the longest history in Canada going back way before the Europeans came and settled. With them, they brought diseases that the Natives were alien to and these diseases killed 90% of the population of Natives. This is where it started, a long road of mistreatment and discrimination towards the Natives.

There are always many differences and similarities between two countries, even they are in close geographical area. Both United States and Canada are on the America continental, therefore the United States and Canada are in close geographical location and in the neighborhoods, most people think that culturally they are same .But this is not true. Despite all similarities between these two countries, there are many differences between them.

Nunavut was not included in a previous treaty, which created the opportunity for the Inuit majority to lay their historical claim to their traditional territory (Légaré 2008, 343).While the principal motivation for the creation of Nunavut was the preservation and revival of Inuit culture, its future is precariously balanced on a complex array economic and social challenges. As of now, Nunavut is struggling to gain greater political and economic autonomy within Canada. The Inuit look to Nunavut as a doorway into a prosperous and more autonomous future, the paradox of dependency raises questions about the ultimate success of Nunavut. As many Inuit are quick to point out, the Resettlement Period, marked by central government control, paternalism, and economic support, leaves a complicated and stubborn legacy of dependency: Nunavut is the "most fiscally dependent jurisdiction in Canada and relies on federal funding as much as 90 percent".

The article that I have chosen is by Mark Aquash, University of British Columbia, “First Nations in Canada: Decolonization and Self-Determination”. The point that interest me was “how Canada as an evolving colonial entity has used education as a process of colonization of First Nation communities, families, and children; and to regard decolonization and self-determination as processes in education that can derail oppression in First Nation communities.” (Aquash, 2013).

Those who do not favour this position would argue that the quality of life in Canada is increasing, while others would argue that it is decreasing. Everyone always hope that the bad things hopefully get better and the better gets even better. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. There is hard evidence of the major decrease in our quality of life. Canada’s environment is being used people’s want of energy, electricity etc, which causes pollution which then affects health. All these privileges distract them from educating themselves. So when push comes to shove, people breakdown which causes mental breakdowns. Considering all the horrible things that are happening to Canada, there are still some good things. Alas the majority is still

There’s always a bit of a dilemma in my head about what to choose for a column topic. This week’s could’ve broached on many subjects: the recent statistic about homeless veterans (about 2,250 of them) as an unacceptable but sad reality, or the fact that many Indigenous communities in Canada still struggle with deplorable living conditions, or that the incidents of suicide, teenagers and children included, in many of those communities, is shockingly high. Or that we still do not have tough enough laws to address drunk driving, which often means that people, often children, get killed, and few of the guilty ones get jail time.

Today, Canada is known around the world as a cultural mosaic. As a nation it welcomes people of both sexes with all different beliefs, cultures, and religions. Creating a mature nation would require promoting equality of opportunity to all and giving help to those who were disadvantaged. However, Canada has not always been a welcoming and mature nation. In the past, women were not allowed to vote alongside men or run for political positions, due to the fact that they were not considered “persons”. As well, Aboriginal children were stipped from their homes, families, and identities so that they could assimilate all First Nations people. During the last century, women have gained more political rights, gained more respect from society, and
