As with any other ethnic neighbourhood, The Danforth’s presence within Toronto is important as it allows for the preservation of the Greek culture in another country, and also encourages the sharing of the culture within the city. Not only that, but The Danforth provides a unique perspective on an ethnic neighbourhood that’s thought of “As the rest”. Unlike other ethnic enclaves, such as Chinatown, The Danforth is accustomed to the norms and way of life of the city of Toronto, while preventing the assimilation of its own culture. This makes Greektown one of the more model ethnic neighbourhoods, and an educational experience for all visitors, as its adaptation to the Canadian culture makes it a substantially more relatable experience for visitors. In essence, it’s not only important for the general public to visit the neighbourhood, but for other ethnic neighbourhoods as well, as it not only demonstrates how to successfully bring your native culture to a country, but also how to share it by tailoring to that country’s way of life and culture.

‘Pleasantville’ is a satirical movie about two siblings who are high school seniors. They get transported into the 1950’s black and white television show ‘Pleasantville’. In the show, the sister, Jennifer, starts to become bored with how life was back then. She decides to take action. Introducing all her newly made friends to some of the pleasures of the 90’s may have been fun, but it came with a cost. Many people of the town started to become coloured instead of black and white. While Jennifer is enjoying her new and exciting life, her brother Daniel is worrying about how they are going to get home. What he doesn’t realize is that the changes to the townsfolk aren’t all Jennifer’s fault. He has also influenced Bill, the soda shop owner, by encouraging him to start work by himself, and stop relying on other people. These changes to the script caused many citizens to change colour, but those who remained colourless went on a rampage. In the scene I have chosen, the colourless have started a gargantuan bonfire of all the books. Hoping that if they

Jane and Finch is a small neighborhood in the city of Toronto that many people assume is dangerous and that has a negative image because of the way media is constantly portraying this neighborhood. Although there are many other cities in Canada that have high crime rates and poverty, the media still seems to target Jane and Finch more in some way. Many people from other communities get shocked and terrified when one says that they are part of the Jane and Finch community. However, the people that are part of the Jane and Finch community continue to ignore the media image around them and what others think of their neighborhood and continue to fight for a better life. Actually, the Jane and Finch community is the best community to live in because there are many diverse people, there are community gatherings, and the schools have many more specialized programs and opportunities than other schools.

The city, Toronto in this case, presents a web of streets and geographical space that threatens to lock its citizens in a certain demarcated way of life and conduct. The four key characters in this narrative - Tuyen, Carla, Jackie, and Oku - each feel blocked in by the constrained locality that they have been born into and each attempts to escape it in his own way.: Tuyen by being an artist, Carla by being a courier; Oku by being a student and Jackie by working in a store. The first two not only attempt to escape by means of their profession using their profession to either flee the spaces and squares (by bike) or transcend it via imagination (by art) but they also adopt profession that go against societal expectations. These societal expectations were created by, and exist within the geographical space they live in. Toronto of the late 20th century had an internalized set of expectations for immigrants and its citizens. The parents of the characters succumbed to it. The protagonists, however, resolved to step out of their boundaries and most of them succeeded.

The term "at will" applies both to the person hired and to the person who does the hiring. As the term suggests, both parties have the ability to end the employment whenever they wish because there are no "strings" attached to it (Employee Issues, 2012). In a normal contract situation, a person is employed for a specified amount of time and the individual knows that as long as a contract is in force what is expected and the remuneration that comes with the employment. This type of contract comes with a guarantee of employment as long as the individual meets the requirements of the contract. A contract also guarantees the employer that the employee has to fulfill certain obligations by law. In the case of "at will" employment, there is no contract signed by either party. Even though the employee may interview and have to fill out certain paperwork to obtain the job, they are not contracted for the work. The employee is hired with the understanding that they can leave employment at any time and that the employer can do the same. This also means that the employer is free to change the specifications of the job any time they will (Employee Issues, 2012). Another facet of this type of employment is that the employer is free to choose the type of employee they want. Even if a policy seems discriminatory, the employer is able to apply it if it does not in some way violate the law. As a final note on the definition of such employment, employers will generally

The movie ‘‘Pleasantville’’, written, produced and directed by Gary Ross, approaches a period in America’s history which subsequent generations idealise as a better and more stable society. He portrays this time period of the 1950s as a time when people and life were less complicated; a time when everyone knew their place in society. However, as the film ironically shows, this was a time when people were more ignorant, racist and most certainly sexist. Ross demolishes this illusion of the great 1950s American society by showing how its defects are gradually changed from black and white to colour. Ross shows that ‘change is inevitable’ once a catalyst for change is added to the ordered life of “Pleasantville”. Once David and Mary-Sue begin
