William had none of these things to use to his advantage. He had to be immensely creative when building his windmill. The ideas for how to build the windmill came naturally to William, however, the parts he needed to fulfil his ideas did not.

He used PVC pipe that he excavated from a drainage pipe for blades, a bicycle that had belonged to his father for a frame, and a tractor fan he found in a scrapyard for a rotor. William also lacked to proper tools to build his windmill. He had no drill, so he used a nail driven into a corn cob to bore holes. He also took nails and screws out of old equipment and reused them.

It can come in a variety of forms and can be observed in various ways like stereotyping a certain ethnicity or making judgements and being ignorant of different cultures.

In fact, there are endless stereotypes against Polish people: “Vodka is their water”, “Poles are cheap”, “If you’re Polish, you’re either a construction worker or you clean houses”, “Polaks don’t work a day in their lives. They’re lazy” and those are just to list a few. Although I haven’t personally experienced racism per se, I have been treated like I was every stereotypical Polak as if people actually forgot that I

Music has always affected the society in which the notes are played. Times of class contained dignified pieces pleasing to the ear while times of upheaval produced performers with a bit of an edge.

We are always told that we, people in America, are completely free, from speech to freedom of choices. A common known fact by all sociologists is that that way of thinking is completely false.

Great questions, I feel that in order for Canada to better represent the people of Canada they have to have the different views in order to ensure the best option for the country. In order to eliminate negative stereotypes, they have to rid a label that has been created by the media or the government. The only way to get rid of a label is to allow different cultures or group to be given the power during policy-making to ensure they are not being victimized which will have large social repercussions.

However, there are some places in Canada that meet these expectations, and some that don't. In a nutshell, this is the main story I am trying to tell.
