things. To development of a nation they would need way of communication. Morrison thinks that if our language disappears so will our existence. Morrison sees the issue with our language disappearing as unsafe for different cultures. She is afraid minority cultures will go extinct, because the bias of culture is language. Some may argue that the new generations use of the internet is killing our

Visible Minority and Immigrant Racism in the Canadian Work Environment In the ideal world, every person is treated equally in the workplace whether it be hiring, promotion, assignments or termination. However in reality, racial discrimination and harassment remain pervasive in the workplace, with 1 in 4 visible minority workers who reported that they had experienced racial harassment or discrimination in the workplace [3]. In this essay, I will be discussing the social-history of racism in the workplace

What are visible minorities? Visible minorities are those people that are not native people or white skined in race or non-white in color. Canada is multicultural country that divides its population into two categories; visible minorities and non visible minorities. It has been noticed that the number of visible minorities is increasing per year in Canada (Black, 2009 p.71). The number and impact of visible minority citizens of Canada is developing in terms of percentage of the population. Visible

Each person holds a separate perspective, whether it is due to demographic differences or specific cultural differences, each audience member has a distinct view of a film. Our topic quote means that we can interpret films in our individual perspectives, as well as how others may perceive us. This not only presents us with what each culture is viewed as, but also if a certain culture is viewed as a hero or a villain. Audience members can only recognize the characters through what is shown to them

For this study, my research question is “does representation on the Canadian House of Commons affect likelihood of political participation of visible minority groups?” The Canadian House of Commons is not a mirror representation of the Canadian population, so underrepresented groups may not feel as if their voice is being heard in the Canadian government. This leads to my hypothesis “if a minority group is underrepresented in the House of Commons, then they are less likely to participate in politics”

Electoral Reform and What it Would Mean for Aboriginal Peoples Canadian politics still operate under the outdated First Past the Post electoral system. Many believe that it is time for Canada to change its electoral system to a Proportional Representation system. This would be especially beneficial for Aboriginal peoples, as they remain severely under-represented and discriminated by the First Past the Post system. This essay will argue that the current First Past the Post electoral system in Canada

disproportionate, much of the population goes unrepresented, and it creates false majority governments that govern with absolute power. It should be abolished, and replaced with a system called Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP). MMP is a proportional representation system used in many countries such as Germany, New Zealand, and Scotland. Under MMP, a voter has two votes on election day. The first vote works just like the current system, so that it goes to electing an MP to represent the riding. The other

There is a fundamental problem with the democratic process in Canada. This problem is rooted within our electoral system. However, there is a promising solution to this issue. Canada should adopt the mixed-member proportional representation electoral system (MMP) at the federal level if we wish to see the progression of modern democracy. The failure to do so will result in a stagnant political system that is caught in the past and unable to rise to the contemporary challenges that representative

The marginalization of minority groups in the electoral system impedes a comprehensive representation by further entrenching and aggravating ethnic division. The lack of minority representation in political-decision making has limited the ability of a true representative democracy to come into fruition. The inconsistency of elected assemblies mirroring the population has decreased the representation of ethnic minorities and deepened the racial and ethnic cleavages. Reforming the electoral system

allow for minorities to be excluded easily because if they did not have the majority support then they would never be able to win representation in government. Quickly, the government would end up being overtaken by a specific party. A big danger would be a political party becoming too powerful if they continue to control representation in election after election. The reigning majority could end up just becoming like a monarchy if they stay in power long enough. A proportional representation system
