Canada is internationally recognized as a culturally diverse nation that emphasizes the concept of “The Mosaic”. No other country in the world encompasses inhabitants from so many different backgrounds who exhibit strong loyalty towards Canada, while still preserving their cultural heritage. This is contrasted to the American ideal of the "Melting Pot", which attempts to shape all of their citizens into a set mold. Canada’s philosophy is believed to be more effective and respectful than that which is possessed by our American neighbours. The following will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches, and analyze the impact of the structures on each country’s society.

Social advantages of multiculturalism in Canada prove to be very beneficial to Canadian society. When discussing multiculturalism in regards to its use and policies in Canada, it is important to first, give its definition as well as explain its history.

Multiculturalism is not just a fixed concept or a simple idea; it is a multidimensional entity (Guo + Wong, 107). Multiculturalism can be seen as a ‘catch-all’ term, which encompasses the fusion or interaction

Hi, Nic! This time I'd like to ask you what you think of appreciating diversity because Canada is often seen as a country more welcoming to immigrants than many others in Western world. Some analysts recommend that Japan should accept more immigrants to solve a labor shortage but many Japanese have negative feelings toward living with people from other countries. Do you have any experiences of being offended? Or what would you feel if people with different culture would live in the next street of yours? I know this is a weird question but I'm curious how Canadian society integrate

Most of the ethnic groups that have different value and belief systems in Canada are immigrants, and the process in which they become detach from their homeland and integrate into the Canadian society makes them feel different sense of their identity. In other words, the heterogeneous essence of the new society, and the inherent characteristic of the identity which is not constant and immutable, rather it is subject to dramatic variation across time and place make the ethnic identification even more important. This ethnic identification generates a sense of belonging in a diverse society. Moreover, the issues of power and identity in Canadian context show that how ethnic groups fit within the social stratification system. It seems that different

There is a continuing concern and a rising awareness of the job protection of minorities. There are many jobs around Canada still today that don’t currently have a multicultural workforce. Really this could be considered a disadvantage of not having the opinions and thoughts from people that look at the world differently. The article Ottawa police in race with other forces to boost diversity talks about their efforts by Ottawa's police force to create a workforce that is truly diverse. This article is one solution that could be uses to overcome the lack of minorities in a workforce. Within the article, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau talks about how he does not feel they have a force that is representative of the community they are

The increase of immigrants throughout the years is a reason why population growth occurs. The distribution of which province international immigrants migrate to varies, and is generally centralized to certain key cities and provinces. Vancouver, being a major urban city in British Columbia, located on the west coast of Canada, attracts many immigrants, mostly from Asia, as 56.9% of all immigrants in 2010 were from Asia (Statscan-Ethnicity). Interprovincial migration is another type of population change that could affect the school system in British Columbia. According to Statistics Canada, in 2015, British Columbia was the only province in Canada that has a positive net interprovincial migration flow, with an in-flow of 64,777 and an outflow of 48,035, for a net flow of 17,742

(The Current State of Multiculturalism in Canada and Research Themes on Canadian Multiculturalism, 2008-2010. Ottawa: Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2010.

On the international stage, Canada is often viewed as a secular and multicultural nation. Throughout the history of the country, immigrants have come to Canada seeking a country which is accepting of diversity in ethnicity, language, religion, and culture. Especially since the 1970s, when multiculturalism was introduced by former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, thus becoming an official policy of Canada, the diversity of the nation has increased greatly, (Wang & Handy, 2014, p. 1561). However, while Canada has become a more multicultural country as a whole, it has not necessarily become more religiously pluralistic. In fact, it has been argued that Canada remains and will continue to be an overwhelmingly Christian country and many immigrants

Looking into one of the popular area in Toronto (Jane and Finch) is amazing research to do, and gazing on few things youths in the community is facing the most will provide background how my research topic came to existence. Before the advent and proliferation of the media, this place was one of the most popular areas of residence among the middle-income earners. Observing the area problem from a macro level is the impact of mass media within the contemporary society; is a process that can neither be underestimated nor presumed. In my initial understanding of the area, the majority of people preferred to live here because it was a cosmopolitan area with friendly people.

Detroit is a very well-known and diverse city. “Somewhere behind its neglected, graffiti covered skyscrapers are charming reminders of a city that was once among the world’s wealthiest” (Gray). This city has been through a lot. Detroit was first founded by the French in 1701 and then used as a fur trade post. Jumping a little in the future, it has had riots and protest for equal rights among its busy streets. Detroit is also known as the Motor City. “By the mid-twentieth century one in every six working Americans was employed directly or indirectly by the automotive industry” (Sugrue). Yet after everything this city has endured Detroit is thought of as a place of fear. It has a lot of history and has a lot to offer if people would let

Canadians have a very peaceful reputation internationally, yet not many countries know much about the Canada.
