Throughout history, women are often excluded as they did not have equal resources in comparison to men. Women are a vital part of any society in any time period. In texts from ancient history, they are often mentioned in sex-stereotypical roles such as wives, mothers, daughters, and concubines. Euripides’ play, Melanippe, and Sophocles’ play, Tereus depict how women were taken for granted in a patriarchal society. The Epitaph of Sokratea is written from the perspective of a woman who died during childbirth.

In Margaret Wente’s article, “Syrian refugees: the romance and the reality” (Oct 1, 2016), she argues that Canadians must stop looking at the refugee crisis through rose coloured glasses and realize that there is far more to helping those living through this crisis then simply taking them out of the battleground. Wente backs her argument using data and facts as well as personal anecdotes from those providing social assistant to those in need. She hopes to bring attention to the problems Canada is facing regarding immigration and realize that simply bringing Syrians to Canada isn’t enough. While people have left the warzone coming to Canada without the ability to speak the language or support themselves will put the same pressure

"The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada is an independent tribunal established by the Parliament of Canada. Our mission, on behalf of Canadians, is to resolve immigration and refugee cases efficiently, fairly and in accordance with the law."

Nancy Cobiness interacts the federal government in several ways. After the Cobiness family moved to Canada, they must apply for refugee protection in Canada through the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), which is a department under the federal government of Canada. Nancy should go to the CIC website and find out more about the application. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is another independent administrative tribunal that deals with immigration and refugee matters. Once the Cobiness family submit their application for refugee protection, the Refugee Protection Division (RPD), a division of the IRB will decide whether to accept them or not. If the IRB accepts their claim, they will receive the status of “protected person”,

Each year lots of new migrants enter the Canadian economy therefore Canada has been classified as a multi cultural country, and due to this our citizens are more socially and globally aware of what is going on around them. Canada’s immigration Act and system helps our country be more culturally diverse, it increases economic growth, and make’s Canada a safer place to be which we can call our home. Along with new migrants coming every year, therefore ethnic communities are massively increasing by population and size.

With what has been going on in Europe such as; the mass raping accusations against Syrian men and the terrorist attacks in France, Canadians are even more afraid of what Syrian refugees might do when they arrive in Canada than they were at first. However, there is a big difference in the Syrian refugees coming to Canada and the ones that emigrated to Europe, as Peter Showler, former chair of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board explained. Furthermore, we will most

"Cognitive brain functions constitute the ability to work with information in a meaningful way, apply information that has already been gained, perform preferential changes, and the ability for someone to change opinions about that information" (Cognitive Brain Function, 2016). Psychology teaches the theory that cognitive brain function are formed from human memories and affect how much information is taken in by the human being. Cognitive functionality has also been associated with the function related intelligence, mind, and ability to learn. This functionality of the brain sets the limits for a human to understand, comprehend, and apply their own thoughts to an idea to absorb it into their memory storage. By being able to perform these functions, a person is able to plan and organize their thoughts accordingly.

The Iliad, an epic poem written by Homer, concerns a deadly war between Greek and Trojan mortals and immortals. Throughout the battle, the characters try to impose their will onto the war by expressing their own agency. Agency is a character’s ability to act on their own free will without any emotional or physical constraints stopping them. However, the characters do not always have the luxury of doing whatever they please. There are many factors that come into play that does not allow the them to act freely. In Book Three, we can see Helen, the prize of the Trojan war, having trouble expressing her own will. Helen challenges Aphrodite’s command when she tries to convince Helen to join Paris in his bedroom and Helen shames Paris when they finally meet. In this particular scene, lines 3.428 to 3.524, Helen is able to assert herself through speaking, but she still has no capability to act and must follow the orders of Aphrodite and Paris. Helen’s verbal resistance against Aphrodite and Paris shows how the social hierarchy set within the Iliad limit mortal women from being able to act on their own accord.

On the 30th of June 2012, the government of Canada had implemented cuts to the Interin Federal Health; (IFH), which is the health insurance program for refugees in Canada. The refugees were given minimal health coverage until their refugee status was accepted as truth, thus being granted provincial coverage as every Canadian is given. Up till this change Ottawa had covered the cost of drugs, and medical care for refugee claimants until their claims had been accepted as truth. Since the beginning of Canada, immigration has played a crucial part in the growth of the economy, and Canada in general. Yet the health and social benefits they receive have become increasingly restricted. To slash health aid for individuals escaping their native countries

The resettlement of Syrian refugees in Canada has been a heavily politicised issue since the last federal election. While the media spotlight has moved on, the integration of these refugees into the Canadian economy and society is an ongoing effort. Previous research on refugees resettled in Canada has found that proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages is one of the most important determining factors of a refugee’s ability to obtain employment and achieve higher levels of economic integration (Sherrell et al. 2005: 83). Historically, refugees resettled in Canada have frequently reported significant difficulties accessing appropriate language training services, especially in terms of the under capacity, underfunding, and lack of flexibility

Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) determines whether or not someone is eligible to immigrate to Canada. There are 3 different sections of the policy, but in general, it factors in nationality, age, language ability, family members, education, work experience, and income. Within the different areas of the immigration policy, which are economic, family reunification, and refugee, there are more specific things looked at in applicants. In the economic area, applicants are rewarded points based on their level of education, ability to speak English and/or French, income, and previous work experience. The family reunification section includes spouses and children joining family members that are already living in Canada, or same-sex couples that are not legally married if there are restrictions in the country they are coming from. These immigrants have to provide proof and demonstrate that they are related to, married to, or in a committed relationship with the person they claim to be joining. A smaller portion of the immigrants coming to Canada are considered to be refugees. Refugees must be part of a humanitarian resettlement program, which is a Canadian program that helps people seeking protection outside of Canada with the help of international partners, or claim for asylum protection, which is where Canada provides protection for those who would be in danger if they returned to their own country.

Statistics suggest that for every 10% of increase in the population from immigration there is a decrease in average wage by 4%. This means that, as more and more immigrants come in, the average salary will become less and less. In the current time there is no agreed view in the net impact of immigration. The Canadian government puts great emphasis on finding skilled immigrants.

Refugees have been the spotlight in many countries in the past few years. In Canada, refugees where mainly sourced from Syria, Eritrea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Congo (Puzic 5). The difference between refugees and immigrants is “refugees are people who have fled their countries because of a well-founded fear of persecution. They are not able to return home” (Government of Canada 1), but immigrants are people who chose to leave their country and settle in another for their own reasons. A lot of people do hate the fact that refugees have been the main focus recently, and how “they have been treated better” than our own people, but that does not beat the fact that there are many advantages that come from the refugees. Refugees bring the advantages of increasing the country’s population, boosting the country’s economy, and increasing the country’s diversity.

There are various issues that revolve around Canadian politics. These issues can include various subjects, such as economics, multiculturalism, health care, immigration, and foreign policy. An important issue in Canada that is discussed in this essay is Canada’s constant changes to its immigration policy in order to improve its economic goals and the labour market. These issues are changing by different policies that the Canadian government are putting into place, which creates a more strict system in choosing who can immigrate into the country. Three articles that thoroughly analyze Canada’s immigration policy in order to implement these changes are the following. The first article is named: “New Directions in Immigration Policy: Canada’s
