Since the fall of communism in Russia and the end of the Cold War, China started to rise as a significant power and to this day holds the title as the world’s fastest growing economy. With that advancement, China has become an influential global player in international politics and the economy; moreover, causing many countries, developed and developing, to raise a serious level of concern and interest to the rapid development of China. In particular, Canada is now back to establishing to be on better terms with China, after Harper’s playing hard to get approach, we must work even harder in becoming a part of China’s inner circle of trade partners. Moreover, Mr. Harper at first tried an activist approach, criticizing and accusing China of poor …show more content…
Realism would immensely disagree with Harper, as it believes that no power can penalize bad behaviour; moreover, being a state to implement moral behaviour is very risky as it can diminish a states ability to protect itself in global and military affairs. There will always be conflict and corruption in the world; there will always be human rights issues, what happens in another state should not leave negative impacts on your state and your states economy. Canada needs to put aside the good guy act and leave our protest banners at home for this one, we need a seat at the grown ups table by creating an indifferent attitude towards China’s social issues as our main objective with China is trade and trade alone. A states primary interest and goal should be self-preservation; therefore, Canada should be thinking about Canada and Canada’s economy only at the end of the day. Most Canadians would be concerned with the human rights issues happening in China however most Canadians would be more concerned over losing their jobs in this
• When engaging in international trade, China focuses on the business arrangement, not its political implications. Do you think the United States should act more like China, strengthening its economy by fostering mutually beneficial partnerships with foreign countries that do not promote democracy or fair labor practices?
Human rights have been transforming for many years. They started at favoring rich white men. They then expanded to apply to everyone. But this was just in society. There is a document called the Magna Carta that says every human is entitled to basic human rights.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II April 17, 1982. Often referred to as the Charter, it affirms the rights and freedoms of Canadians in the Constitution of Canada. The Charter encompasses fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, mobility rights, legal rights, language rights and equality rights. The primary function of the Charter is to act as a regulatory check between Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments and the Canadian people. Being a successor of the Canadian Bill of Rights that was a federal statute, amendable by Parliament, the Charter is a more detailed and explicit constitutional document that has empowered the judiciary to render regulations and statutes at both the
The China-Canada relationship is the solution to every problem Canada faces in the long term and as a result, greatly improves Canada’s economy as a whole. By trading with China we are able to increase the exports of both services and manufacture goods via raw resources and healthcare and decrease our reliance, as a country, on the United States. China is also newly industrialized country which has shown enormous economic growth. In fact, China now accounts for about six percent of Canada’s world emerging as Canada’s second largest trading partner. China’s role in Canada’s economic market will clearly enhance the lives of all Canadians, through the sheer amount of trades they bring in and for the future of Canada’s trade; with China at Canada’s side, we will be able to set a stable economic foundation for all, making this extremely important for all Canadians.
This essay will examine Canada’s Human Rights record since 1914 through the reactions of the Canadian government and Canadian peoples. From the example of the government reaction to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see Canada’s human rights record through domestic policies that both excluded and later included those of differing sexualities. From the example of the Canadian people’s attitude to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see Canada’s human rights record through social attitudes that both excluded and later included those of differing sexualities. From the example of employer’s reaction to the LGBTQ community through 1910 to today, one can see the economic impact of Canada’s human rights record
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects basic rights and freedoms of citizens which are essential in order to keep Canada a free and democratic society. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was created by the Canadian government, however, it does not meet the needs of all citizens. Some citizens do not agree with the current rights and freedoms while others would like to add things. A new right that should be added to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the right to sponsor. Everyone regardless of previous records from the past should have the right to sponsor someone from a different country to Canada without having to meet the criteria because they may need extra support, want to provide someone with a better life and it should be a right even when citizens have gone through their punishments in the past.
Without ending these discussions immediately, Canada runs the risk of becoming complicit in the violations of justice committed by China’s inconsistent, unforgiving, and typically savage justice system. Ultimately, Canada must resist the temptation of international clout and improved trade relations with China in order to protect its most basic principles of justice.
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
Every human in the United States has every single human right in the books, while other countries may not provide the proper amount of human rights to provide to everyone in there country. When living the the United States we take for granted how good we have it while do not have the privilege. Canada isn't a bad country, and definitely follows more human rights then the rest of the world might. The first human right that Canada breaks is that they do not provide clean water to every citizen in their countries. Fresh water supply is most certainly a major human right that everyone should get in order to maintain their health. No human can live without water for more than three or even four days so it should be giving to everyone in the country of Canada. Something else that was definitely wrong is that the government was taking kids away from their families and even sometimes families, and family. It wouldn't feel nice to come home and never again have full rights of your own son or daughter. Your children are your most prized possession and one day the government can take them away because they feel as if they need to, and there is nothing you can do about it. Also the government of Canada was caught not giving their immigrants there full
The economists that support the ideologies of the economic globalization are of a strong assertion that this phenomenon has the power to shape and reshape progression in the economic activities and the economic globalization is hereby regarded positive stimulus that guard and ensure the enhanced excellence of life, a rapid increase in the economic activities but unfortunately this is not the case in all the situations. The unwanted by products of economic liberalization and economic globalization are hard felt in the developed countries like China.
Many people and nations around the world are deprived of human rights. The government in the countries or nations usually can not help the people being deprived. Either because the government is too poor to, it is not one of the things the government is looking into, or the government does not know or care. Because of this certain people, or even whole populations are denied human rights and their living conditions and way of life are usually not on the positive side of things. There are many wealthier countries trying to help but sometimes that is not enough. To what extent should Canada have a role in working to increase human rights protection in other nations?
According to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, social condition is defined as the prohibited ground of discrimination and harassment in human rights legislation which include sex, age, and place of origin (" Ontario Human Rights Commission," n.d.). This means the way a society deals with providing its community with the necessary resources such as jobs, diversity, healthcare, food, education and security. This is done by providing equality and is considered the social conditions that impact a community positively or negatively over time. Thus social conditions affects the quality of life on every level in our community, as individuals, institutionally and politically.
The film, Beyond the Gates, shows audiences the horror that took place during the Rwandan genocide. Shot in the same area as the actual genocide took place, the film tells the story of the Hutu extremist attempt at destroying the countries minority group known as the Tutsi.
