I do understand that yes it puts a big dent in the learning plan for the semester. This catastrophic hurricane was something unplan something we as human had no control over. In my opinion to make a child sit through an extra week of class do to the child school being used as a shelter is unjust. The moment the storm came about there was a plan to use the school as a shelter and a plan to clean up, but this plan is not in timely manner. I do understand the things left being from people and their dogs has to be properly sanitizes but a better plan should be in place have a quicker turnaround so now a child has to sit through a extra week of class for because of untimely system to me that is unjust as Dr. martin Luther King stated in his letter from the Birmingham jail “a unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with its moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas an unjust law is a human made law that is not rooted in eternal law or natural law.” Per the artic ether was not a decision made yet but they reference “In the past, when school was closed for weather events, Hillsborough did not have to add any days to the calendar because its schools are open for far more minutes than the state requires. ” so why should they have to make the days this

On November 9th 2015, a town hall meeting took place in my political science class. This meeting was a chance for students of the school to bring up concerns, or issues regarding there education. For their voice to be heard directly to the faculty that runs the school, the students could finally have a chance to get a valid answer. There was questions about safety, mathematics, community college education, and typical student issues.

Government: Ontario has a different type of government than us. To start that they have a different “headquarters” than us. Their ‘headquarters’ is in Toronto. As if ours is in Washington, D.C, as we all know is in the white house. They started their government in 1867 or before. We started ours in 1776-1789. 1789 was when the USA came together as an independent country. That is when we started creating a new constitution, and establishing its national government. In order to start their traditional rights, American Patriots took control of the colonies and started a war for independence.

Culture can be defined as the behaviours and belief characteristics of a particular social, ethnic,

250,000 displaced persons (or DP’s for short) were placed in Canada, they fled their homes as a result of the second world war and the formation of the communist government in the Soviet Union. All of these people were assimilated into Canadian culture and most people were separated from their families, but were eventually reunited.

There were three main groups that suffered and struggled through many obstacles and a lot of people setting them back; women, First Nations people, and immigrants and minorities. This prejudice caused a significant negative impact on the Canadian society during the 1920s. In the roaring twenties, many people believed that only white men should be treated with any respect because that was the status quo at the time. The status of women was improving as some women got the right to vote, a woman was elected a member of parliament, and women were now legally considered “persons”, but women were still treated horribly and with little respect or dignity. The First Nations people as a whole were greatly mistreated because of the federal government and the non-first nations, Canadians believed that the First Nations people would be more content, giving up their religion, heritage, and culture and become more mainstream Canadian Christian. In addition, immigrants and minorities in Canada during this time also suffered greatly because of the prejudice against them and the fact that the Canadian government frowned upon all immigration that was not from another Commonwealth country, a European country, or did not involve white Americans.

I attended the IPS school board meeting on February 23, 2016 at 6pm. The meeting took place at 120 East Walnut Street. There was about 60-70 people there. There were people who was helping to conduct the meeting. They also had tables set up close to the front to where people were sitting. They also had rows for anyone who wanted to listen to the meeting. Police officers were also by the door. There were a variety of topics discussed last night. The topics that was discussed were bus tracking, increasing teacher’s salary, treatment of black kids and segregation in education, shortage of teachers and kids acting out, a group of parent’s helping improve reading scores, and a new system called naviance.

Former prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, believed greatly in what he thought Canada was to become. “The nineteenth century was the century of the United States. I think that we can claim that is it Canada that shall fill the twentieth century. “ was said by Laurier and his words passed almost without notice at the time. However, it did not take long before his words had somehow been transformed into the most famous phrase in Canadian history, “The twentieth century belongs to Canada.” His words showed great confidence and pride in the actions that Canada was supposedly to take to fulfill his vision. He believed that Canada would fill the century, not in size or military might but in progress, growth, and quality of life. Ultimately, he

Not only is he considerate toward Jonas, The Giver addresses the society’s problem at the end as well. When he and Jonas decide on the plan to escape to Elsewhere, the Giver knows that the people would be defenseless against their own inexperience and that he has to stay behind to help them deal with the exceeding amount of memories. The Giver states how he doesn’t want the Rosemary incident (this time being more severe since Jonas has a year’s worth of recollections) to happen again. The Giver had already served as Receiver of Memory for decades in the community by enduring the grief that accompanied the memories, yet he still dismisses Jonas’s offer to avoid the society’s imminent problems by running away. This further confirms that the

Being Canadian is so much more than just the cliché stereotype of living in igloos, playing hockey 24/7, and drinking Tim Hortans coffee every day. Being a part of the Canadian culture means that all Canadians are unified as one big family. Culture is defined as “a set of human made objective and subjective elements that have increased the probability of survival, and resulted in satisfaction for the participants” (Samovar, 1991). Every culture has their own attitudes, customs and beliefs that differentiate one culture from another. Canadian culture can be very distinctive from other cultures. Usually the first impression of Canadians is that we are very polite and we live in an extremely friendly and accepting country. Being Canadian is about having big hearts and appreciating our diverse environment. Our country shares a wide variety of different ethnic backgrounds which makes being Canadian unique.

The date is 2019, and civilization has been devastated. During the month of June, a huge solar flare has hit the Earth and has wiped out all systems communication and power. The impact has destroyed technology such as: satellites, GPS, wireless networks, and the power grid. It may take several years to repair the damage it has caused and it will cost the world trillions of dollars. Individuals must use old tactics or discover new ways to combat day-to-day problems. In this paper, I will discuss the changes in Canadian culture and tackle the reason why these political, economic, technological, social environment, family and belief systems have transformed.

Although Canada and the United States share the same continent, they are divided by their unique ideas and views. After WWI ,Canada broke its ties with Britain and new independent nation was born with a unique culture. This new culture developed through the Canadian citizens. As a Canadian citizen, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie helped achieve autonomy from Britain and solidify national unity at home. Canadian inventor ,Fredrick Banting ,maintained his culture as Canadian and contributed to the world through his invention of insulin. Many artists, authors, actors , actresses and athletes have played their part in Canadian culture. During the 1920s and 1930s, Canada asserted independence from Britain and the United States to develop

On Monday,October 14, 2013 at 7:00 P.M., I attended the Bradford Area School District school board meeting at Floyd C. Fretz Middle School in the large group instruction room. This meeting was important for the teachers, students, and the schools in the district. It provided information that correlated to the material in class and a perspective on what situations as a future teacher I may experience.
