Rules revolving around Canadian Content (CanCon) have been set in place since the 1920’s. In 2005, revisions to the 1991 Broadcasting Act were made. Since this revision was made there have been further changes to the Act trying to create the best set of rules for CanCon to be broadcasted (Dewing, 2011). CanCon is an outdated concept that is causing consumers to switch to other forms of media. The CanCon rules cannot determine what is considered Canadian and they cannot keep up with the ever-changing forms of media. Canadian producers are only getting a slim portion of the industry even with the rules in place. Therefore CanCon rules should be totally eliminated.

The 1920s was an exciting time for broadcasting technology in the west; the possibilities of all that this era had to offer were infinite and with it came much needed regulatory policies. Radio and television broadcasting were at their infancy and no one knew how big this idea of instant, national connection would become. Soon after this, it became apparent that Canadians prominently turned their attention to American broadcasting and, in turn, overlooked their own. This piece of information sparked the birth of regulatory policies and the Canadian Broadcasting Act which would control percentages of original Canadian and foreign content to see to it that Canadians would not lose sight of their culture and that the Canadian broadcasting industries could stay in business. Then again, why should the government have say over what their people are allowed and not allowed to watch, listen to, or enjoy? As it is, times are changing and more and more people are able to download or stream movies to which the government has very little control over. Is the idea that the Canadian Broadcasting Act was originally implemented for, even still necessary? New media has taken over the world, social media is a constant, and even if attempted, people would not be able to get away from the hundreds of advertisements that they see each and every day. The essential control needed to keep Canadian content, culture, and industry thriving is found in the Canadian Broadcasting Act (CBA) to which

What we read on a daily basis have a profound effect on the decisions, and choices we are made. Foreign magazines, particularly the United States In this case seem to have more of on an impact on Canadian culture than is probably anticipated. The number in sales indicates Canadians preference for foreign publications and can be interpreted as a change in culture. The Less people read Canadian magazines greater the chance of adopting a new way of life. Therefore the figure highlights that there is a major influence of foreign culture that undermines the identity of Canadian people.

1. To what extent do you think the U.S.Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture? I think the motivation of protecting any domestic cultural value of any country must be respected to protect their own personal rights. In addition, the values of cultural development without implications of any foreign country impose including Canadian cultural value. We have seen the conflicted between Canadian magazines against the foreign trades for many years that struggling to protect their own value because of dominant foreign development. This is one of our generational systemic cultural impacts that overtaking and dominate against other without considerations.

The god Tir, also known as Tiw, Tyr, Tiwaz and Mars is one that influenced many past cultures, but not very well known today. In Norse mythology, Tyr was once a monotheistic god, worshiped as the god of war, justice, law, and order. Some early Germanic peoples connected Tyr with Mars, the Roman god of war. One influence is the third day of the week, known as dies Martis and Mars' Day in Latin, and also has become known as Tyrsdagr to the Norwegians and in the English dictionary as Tuesday. The name Tyr is pronounced like the English word tier. This god is better known for war, but he is also the one who presides over matters of law and justice, making the world honest and honorable. One of the duties that was mentioned

Argumentative and alternative communication systems (AACs) are interventions for students with severe communication impairments, such as autism spectrum disorders and other severe disabilities. In addition, the case of autism disorders will be used to represent severe communication impairments while providing guidelines in how to prepare teachers to be able to use the picture exchange communication system (PECS) as an example AACs. The PECS and other methods of AAC have gained popularity in their usage to improve the communication capabilities of children with significant communication impairments. However, it difficult to use PECS and other methods of AAC to improve the communication skills of the children without preparing and supporting. The content include four areas which special education teachers should be knowledgeable about when teach students with severe communication impairments and who are in need for AACs. First will outline characteristics and needs of the students and then secondly, will provide guidelines on how to asses and identify an appropriate method of AACs to use with an individual student. After that it will give information on how to implement and support the individual student use of PECS or other methods of AACs. These educational guidelines are

These reasons are why it is crucial that the Canadian Government finances public broadcasting, because the only way to meet Canadian standards is to create a Canadian industry who answers

The Canadian Magazine Dispute. 1. To what extent do you think the US Canadian dispute was motivated by a genuine desire to protect Canadian culture? In my view the dispute had nothing to do with a genuine desire to protect the Canadian culture. My reason for this opinion is premised on the basis that the onus to protect a people’s culture rests upon the citizens of a country. People should be the sole custodians of their culture. It is not the duty of the government to legislate laws that purportedly are meant to protect culture. The Canadian people have a right to choose what aspects of their culture they should maintain and what it is from other cultures that they should embrace. I believe that this is the height of any democracy, where people

Poet Robert Frost once stated, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in” (BrainyQuote, n.d.). This statement is a positive reflection of the services provided by the caring staff and volunteers at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Families with severely ill children under the age of 18, who are undergoing treatment from local hospitals, are grateful for this temporary home away from home. It was the aspiration of Fred Hill, a professional football player for the Philadelphia Eagles, to provide a comfortable place where these families could get a good night’s rest and a hot meal while visiting their hospitalized children. Hill, accompanied by the owner of the Eagle’s football team, propositioned McDonald’s. As a result, the first RMHC was built in 1974 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (“A Place,” n.d.). Today, there are more than 360 independent, non-profit Houses worldwide.

Researchers have found that although Canadian society features growing diversity, this diversity usually is not reflected in media content. For example, research show that ethnic-racial minorities have rarely been seen at annual and nationally television Juno awards ceremony for the Canadian music industry (Tepperman, Curtis, 2013, p.354). Americans children’s are the most powerful consumer in the world .As we seen in the movie “consuming kids” in which it show how youth marketers have used the latest anthropology, psychology that transform the American children in to the most profitable consumer in the world. This first section of this paper will explore the influence of media towards ethnic-racial minorities. This paper then will

I suspect that the real motive of the Canadian government was not to protect Canadian culture in this dispute with the US. But rather, it seemed to concern more with political and economic factors. As appeared in the article, the Canadian government finally gave in and went on to settle the dispute (The Levin Institute, [1]). To me, that seems somewhat irrational to suddenly give up on one’s culture like they did, when the US threated to retaliate with trade barriers. As a speculation, I believe the dispute was motived by political and economic concerns. The Canadian government was attempting to defend the local media from a total domination by foreign media since it implies that Canadian businesses will be paying foreign corporations to have their products and services advertised on a magazine, even when local magazines have the capacity to provide the same type of service. Simply put, the concern seems to be related to the higher outflows of capital.

The Canadian government did not demonstrate an understanding of the disconnection between content and culture. It is my opinion that their motivation behind the steps taken emphasized their own ideals rather than protecting their culture. With the misplaced motivation, the Canadian government’s attempts to remove competition for domestic magazines did not serve a valuable purpose. It is my belief that restricting content does not serve to protect an underperforming publication.

Introduction: Economy Watch said,” Numbers of TV broadcast and radio stations were traditionally a good guage of the development and openness of a country. However as cable TV and the internet become the primary source of entertainment and information, as is now the case in many advanced nations, this measure becomes less important from 1993 to 2014. Today, technology has changed since it was invented back in the early days. In my paper, I will discuss the significant events and people in radio, television, and web, compare or contrast the landmark radio and television, and how news broadcasting will be in the future.
