The Consequences Of The World

Sometimes the Earth is more cool than you can imagine. After the high 80 earthquake on January 12th, 2010, Leonard Pitts, and award-winning journalist, wrote a powerful article to show the Earth's “cruelty” and the tragedy that struck Haiti. The article “ Sometimes the Earth is Cruel” portrays the Haitian people's response to an earthquake by using figurative language, a strong theme, and a powerful message. Throughout the article a strong theme of persistence is displayed and a compelling message is portrayed by showing the Haitians perseverance and the Earth's cruelty. The theme of “Sometimes the Earth is Cruel,” is perseverance through tragedy.

Jean Lesage was known to be the “father of the Quiet Revolution” by many for the multiple changes he was able to bring in the 1960s. The first change he brought to Quebec was subsiding the Catholic Church’s role to replace it with an increased

The St. Lawrence boulevard is one of Canada's most known and talked about roads. In the collective imagination, it has long been the street that separates Montreal in half, which is quite understandable since the St. Lawrence boulevard is the backbone of the great French-speaking city , it is the matrix of Montreal. A tourist who would only have a few hours to get acquainted with the city should not go elsewhere, since the whole city seems to be born from this particular avenue .

Montreal is an associate town in Quebec. It is a town that sourced its name from is mountain. Mount Royal is the mountain that borders this island. Recent census report indicates that its population is over 4 million. Montreal escorts presume that this city was known as city of Mary or Ville Marie way before 1537. Escorts are known because of their guidance and protection. In this case Montreal escorts guides us in knowing the history while at the same time protecting it. They say it was until 1705 it was named Montreal city.

This is important because it is vastly different from how it is now, given the fire and the trial took place in the 18th century, in an urban setting which had not become predominant, meaning regulations were not strict at this point. The events of 1734 occurred in a small town of two thousand residents, located on the southwest boundary of the French territory in the St-Lawrence valley. Montreal was the regional seat of administration. it was in essence, a trade and military city with major links to the interior of the continent. The city's profile was directly reflected upon the social structure and economic activity of its citizens. Women were far less prominent in terms of respect and social order in contrast to men, and in addition Montreal was a city where there were a significantly high number of

Martel demonstrates that new English nationalistic ideas (in response to immigration) brought new threats of assimilation towards this identity, particularly to French-Canadian citizens not living in Quebec.  French-Canadians, originally hesitant to colonize these Western Canadian areas were now encouraged to protect them as they saw these nations as isolated communities of French culture.  Finally, both Lacombe and Laplante demonstrate that when the Catholic Church had less influence on political and social institutions, the church became less of a defining concept of the French-Canadian identity.  These three, when grouped together, also provide a chronological overview of the rise and fall of Catholic influence among French-Canadian citizens.  Lacombe provides the reasons for the rise during the nineteenth century, and its subsequent decline in the early twentieth century.  Martel demonstrates how French-Canadian citizens were motivated to preserve their Catholic identity when they began to lose control of the Catholic dioceses outside Quebec during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Laplante explores the transition of Quebec to a more secular province in the 1960s, where the Catholic Church gave way for the province of Quebec to provide the national identity of French-Canadian citizens.

Although I had been to Canada several times throughout my life I’ve rarely had the opportunity to travel outside of Ontario, only having gone to Montreal once or twice. Québec City seemed both intriguing as well as slightly concerning due to the predominant language of Québec being French, a language which I speak very little of. For me, as I read the Itinerary of the trip the one visit that stood out was the Citadel. The Citadel intrigued me due to the fact that Québec City was one of only two cities in North America that is still surrounded by fortifications, which meet at the strategically located military base. Also the idea that this fortress had at one point in time allowed Canada to control the St. Lawrence River, a river which I

This period of massive reform that overtook Quebec was given the name: “The Quiet Revolution.” It did not only cause division within the nation, but als, rifts within Quebec itself. The province was an unstable society “where rapid changes [had] occurred, but which [had] not absorbed [those] transformations at an equal rate.” Groups formed on both sides of arguments concerning separatism, maintaining French culture, and social classes within society. People felt lost while everything was changing so quickly and so drastically; defined, opinionated, and unwavering groups began to emerge. Some of these were terrorist groups who felt very strongly about the path that Quebec should be taking, and were unafraid to impose their beliefs on others.

Many years ago, Irish people departed from their home country to escape difficult times and find a bright future in Canada. Many of the Irish immigrants settled into the colony of New France, which is now known as the Canadian province Quebec. The Being Irish O’Quebec Exhibit at McCord Museum pushes the idea that the Irish are one of the most significant ethnic groups in Quebec, both in the way of numbers and historical impact. The Exhibit depicts Irish immigration to Quebec using artifacts and images. These artifacts and images as well as the information that comes along with them demonstrate the struggles and successes of the Irish peoples at this time. The Being Irish O’Quebec Exhibit’s main argument is that the Irish had a major contribution to Quebec’s identity as a province. The Exhibit claims that the Irish are

Since British Settlers took control of Canada from the French, the needs of the remaining French Canadians, or Quebecois, have consequently been overlooked. Several events in Canadian History have resulted in heated feelings between French and English Canadians. Although the majority of English Canadians have tried to reconcile with the French by making numerous attempts to mend the relationship, questions relating to the needs of French Canadians still exists today. Various key sources indefinitely establish that the that the needs of French Canadians were not met, which will be proven through an in depth analysis of Quebecois Nationalism, Heritage Problems in Quebec, as well as impending acts of terrorism in Quebec.

Desire to preserve what is antic has been complimented with the advancements of modernity since such things like the CSL reflect a larger cultural context (444). Murton highlights Quebeckers “hope to preserve the rural character of Quebec society through the use of the modern market,” (444) reflected in the tourist and standard economic market. The folk of rural Quebec was not in itself in complete isolation, it was affected by the modern advancements. An understanding that they were pristine and remote speaks to the myth that is often associated public history at large. The folk markets were used as a source of income for the other – non-folk Quebec –, though also a means for rural peoples a well (444-445). It is put well that “Quebec was never just a mellow yesterday; the Québécois never just a quaint and simple people,” (445) though the understanding can be used to widely reflect the realities of all places or groups. What takes place historically is then selectively used to build a popular understanding of historical events. This echoes again the point of myths being used to create large-scale public understanding, where truth can be shadowed by thrill or picturesque

“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two

Since the year 1608, when Samuel de Champlain made the first colony in present day Quebec City, the lives of the Aboriginal people have been forever changed both positively and negatively. In this period of time the two cultures had to quickly learn how to cohabitate the land. The relationship between the two nations was very important for the French because they had to rely on the First Nations peoples’ knowledge to survive the vastly different environment.

“Old Paris” was viewed as a collection of picturesque memories, cherished dwellings, close neighborhoods, and lively streets. The people inhabiting “Old Paris” included those in the banlieues

The earth is considered as one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. It is the only planet in our galaxy that has enough water to support life. Unfortunately our planet is suffering due to many problems which should be solved before it is too late. The major problems that are facing our world today are population, pollution and animal extinction.
