Cultural Diversity In Canada

Multiculturalism" is the existence of a culturally diversified society where people from different backgrounds and races come and live together. However an insight of this integrated society reveals that everyone seems to have a different opinion on the issue of how this diverse community should operate. One of the countries of North America called "the mosaic" is Canada. It has earned this distinct name because of the mix of races, cultures and ethnicities residing in it. Canada's geographical features and its harsh climate became a disadvantage to its population growth many years ago. Compared to its size, the population of Canada was not sufficient a few decades ago. However, when immigrants wandered about searching for a better

“Multiculturalism exists when people accept and encourage many cultures to thrive in a society. Multiculturalism can lead to many great outcomes, including racial and ethnic harmony, which simply means that people from different backgrounds get along well together. Living with and accepting different cultures helps us understand each other and discourage hatred and violence.” () Furthermore, various ethnic groups introduce their individual beliefs, traditions, as well as, religions to the Canadian society. Generally speaking, be part of an expanding multicultural society has impacted Canada economically, demographically and socially. Thus, the presence of the variety of different cultures, languages and heritages, results in the need for the county to adapt and change, based on the new reality of Canada.

Cultural issues are complicated ones to solve. Sometimes it is even tough to express opinions about them. It is an area where one has had to establish one's bona fides before weighing in. The audience has to be assured that the commentator loves Canada more or at least as much as the next person and is willing to stop at nothing to protect our culture. Trade consultants wanting to mine the cultural field are well advised to have a Can-lit or artistic icon as an immediate family member. Otherwise, they need not even bother hanging up a shingle.

Remote communities such as those in northern Canada consistently experience a shortage of healthcare providers (HCP) including nurses (Place, Macleod, Moffitt & Pitblado, 2014). Due to the cultural and geographical uniqueness of these areas, challenges are inevitable, however, it can be undoubtedly rewarding. Nurses can particularly gain valuable experience regarding the importance of cultural competence and its implementation.Therefore, this paper will discuss the context of northern Canadian communities as well as three challenges and three benefits faced by nurses working there. Considering the populations in these communities are culturally diverse, it is especially essential for the nurses to have the appropriate cultural knowledge and skills in working with these populations. Consequently, we will also explore the definition of cultural competence, other terms used to describe this concept and how nurses can ensure they have the necessary cultural competence to work with these communities.

Diversity has played an important role in Canada’s formative history. Today, Canada boasts the highest percentage of foreign-born citizens than any other G8 country. In Canada’s multicultural society it is important that any acts of discrimination are avoided since it can have grave consequences. Canadians are protected against discrimination by the Human Rights Act, which was formed in 1977 by the Parliament of Canada. The act ensures equal opportunity to individuals who may be victims of discriminatory actions based on a set of prohibited grounds such as sex, disability, or religion. This paper will discuss the legal issues in human resources in relation to the Human Rights Act and will focus in particular on the discrimination section in

Canada is a very important country. It was founded on July 1, 1867. On August 4 1914: Canada went to War with Germany. Also, on August 22 1914: War Measures Act, Canada passed the War Measures Act in order to give the government new and intrusive powers to prosecute the war.

Canada is considered to be a cultural mosaic, where all cultures are embraced opposed to a melting pot where it is expected to adopt one culture. Government regulated media is more favourable than policies based off of self-regulated solutions when addressing Canada’s media industries and cultural needs. Canadians place importance on national identity and without government regulated policies, the content in the media would have minimal Canadian information. According to the Aird Commission, when Canada’s media was operating through private enterprise, many stations expressed conflicting content, however, with state regulated media, broadcasting allows the nation to have a unified vocation. One unified message being sent to the nations citizens is more beneficial than multiple broadcasts on differentiated and insignificant information.

Canada is routinely defined as the exemplar multicultural society with the most diverse cities in the world such as Vancouver, Toronto and Quebec. The concepts of integrity and complexity are being shaped in Canadian society because of its co-existence of different cultures. Indeed, multiculturalism has been a keystone of Canadian policy for over 40 years with the aim of pursuing Canadian unity (Flegel 2002). Accordingly, Canada is generally estimated a country where people are all equal and where they can share fundamental values based upon freedom. Diversity is sustained and promoted by governmental policy, however, there are still racist interactions, which are destructive to minorities integration, especially recent ethnic groups’ arrival (Banting & Kymlicka 2010). This paper will examine challenges that multiculturalism has brought society and residents of Canada.

Another problem with Canada’s multiculturalism is that many people don’t feel like they’re truly a Canadian citizen, resulting in ethnic enclaves. Canada has over 260 different ethnic enclaves, and many Canadians argue that it is not healthy to form ethnic enclaves where people of similar interests, religions, customs, language, and culture gather together. Another important issue to worry about is the racism that could happen at school if we do not teach them about diversity issues. There are some schools in Surrey, that are largely South Asian, which could perhaps lead to reverse racism and segregation. Many Canadians also believe that too many of these ethnic enclaves could lead to the end of Canada’s identity and culture. While it is

Globally, metropolitan cities that are socially progressive, dense in population, and high in ethnic diversity are becoming creative hubs; thus, changing the framework of infrastructures and economies worldwide. Though the commodification of cultural pluralism was once a niche to specific locations—acting as beacons for content creators—the emergence of diverse cities creates challenges for places like Toronto (that embraced the notion of a 'cultural mosaic' early on) to establish dominance and uniqueness in the creative cultural industries. However, the city’s incorporation of dynamic boroughs like Kensington Market – which offer the allure of authenticity, accessibility and affordability—make Toronto a contender for exemplifying what it
