What Are The Key Factors That Have Allowed Canada To Enjoy Such A High Standard Of Living

     One Mexican president stated that globalization is healthy and positive as long as it benefits everyone. He states, “ C'est à mon avis une occasion extraordinaire pour les Amériques de travailler ensemble. Mais il faut s'assurer que tout le monde soit gagnant: en tout premier lieu, que cela respecte des valeurs universelles.” However, this is not always the case, as globalization allows for first nations, such as Canada, to continue bullying developing nations in need of help. Due to lack of desirable resources such as skilled labour or advanced technology, a third world’s biggest resource ends up being

Its often said that because of the events of the Second World War that Canada grew as a country. Even noted in the London Daily Telegraph when they said “no country has grown in international stature so swiftly and markedly as Canada has done... hers has often been a lonely voice of reason,”12. This statement defines Canada's actions in its development as a middle power – the voice of reason in many international affairs. This is true especially of these two crises that Canada dealt

Today, Canada is the second best country in the world according to the Washington Post. But what’s so appealing about Canada? Canada has their own government, they promote gender equality and have equal right towards every race. But Canada was not always the great country that it is today. Canadians worked hard to accomplish independence and recognition. Historical events that helped shape the way Canada it is today are, the battle of Vimy Ridge, the Balfour Report and Statute of Westminster, the Persons Case, the formation of NATO, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. These are the events that helped Canada grow as a nation to become a peaceful, independent, and a just country.

There is a national consciousness in Canada about global poverty reduction, with 94% of Canadians saying it is important to improve health, education and economic opportunity for the world’s poorest, and 76% of Canadians agreeing we have a moral obligation to help expand health, education, and economic opportunity for the world’s

Canada has been shaped by the historical influences of World War 1, The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s and World Was 2; setting the basis for the society for which we live in today. World Was 1 had a big impact on Canada because it started the process of giving woman rights and showing people that they can do the same jobs men can do. The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s has a big effect on the country because people went from having a lot of luxuries in the 20’s, To having no luxuries in the 30’s. When World War 2 came it gave people jobs and money so they could buy back everything they lost in the depression.

The original intentions for the residential schools were to “remove and isolate children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture.” These two objectives make it clear that in the past we viewed the Aboriginals as unequals, we treated them as if we were superior, trying to rid them of their culture and spiritual beliefs. The motives of assimilation were wrong and have no place in Canadian identity.

Canada is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, however, many citizens are below the blurred poverty line. (251). The poverty line in Canada is measured by the LICO-IAT (boooook) and the MBM (253). The resources for those below the poverty line are very poor; food banks and shelters are unable to uphold the amount of people that are in need of them. (252). Among the poor, many people have paid employment, however, it is not enough.

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

Canada’s large geographic size, the existence and fortitude of a significant number of native people, the conquest of one European language population by another and moderately open immigration policy led Canada into thriving as an very diverse and successful nation. Though Canada does not have the best military, Canada possesses a very strong economy, and Canada has successfully capitalized on its physical environment filled with vast and rich amounts of natural resources lead the nation to be one of the world’s richest nations.

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

Canada is an contemporary and technology based advanced country populated by various First Nation tribes, French and British people. Canada is today a cultural mosaic made up of people who have come from all around the world. Canada is a very energy self-sufficient country that economy relies greatly on its great quantity of natural resources.

Did you know that one in four children in First Nation communities live in poverty? That’s almost double the national average! There can be many reasons why this is happening but the main factor is the quality of life in First Nations communities. The quality of life is expressed as the standard of health, comfort and happiness experienced by an individual or group. Measuring the quality of life lived by people in a certain country or region can be determined by the country’s economy and people’s life expectancy.

Canada’s natural resources are distributed and differ along the territory. Therefore there is an uneven distribution of wealth because of the different economic sectors, which fluctuate the prosperity of the territory. Politics focus on the wealthy territories more than others since the transformation of natural resources represent the biggest part of Canada’s GDP which means a better economy.

Women and men have had certain roles in society that were understood amongst them to be specified for their particular gender. Males were known to have the leading role as head of the house hold and the bread winner while the woman’s duty was to stay at home and take care of the house and children. While many people years ago deemed this way of life and practice to be the right and ethical thing to do, times have changed and so this kind of treatment towards a woman’s equality must be questioned. Even though times have changed, this mindset of a woman’s ability to be as good as a man has not completely gone away. In today’s society a woman contributes to the economy and her family as equally as that of a man. Therefore, women should share equal rights and opportunities as their gender counterparts.

Global stratification can be defined that globe countries and areas are not on an equal footing in the process of economic, political and cultural globalization (Andersen & Taylor, 2006). The economic globalization has exacerbated the imbalance of world economy and has widened the wealth gap. Globalization has brought unfair relationships between developing countries and developed countries. Gao (2000) noted that economic globalization has expanded the gap between South and North. And it has brought huge shocks to national economy of developing countries. The international economic organizations like the Word Bank, IMF and WTO are in the hand of developed countries (El-Ojeili, C. & Hayden, P., 2006.). All the principles, institutions and sequences for the world economic operation are made by them. (Sklair, 2002)What’s more, the economic, technical and management advantages that is owned by Western countries cannot be easily and fully surpassed by developing countries.
