...Canada as a Post-Industrial Country Canada’s practices of work and work values have been evolving throughout history. From the early days when agriculture dominated the economy, to the gradual transition into manufacturing and processing, we can see that Canada’s economy is always changing. More recently, we are seeing a similar shift from manufacturing to the service sector of the economy. This paper provides an analysis of Canadian society and whether we can be considered a post-industrial country. A society tends to be classified according to the degree to which different groups within that society have unequal access to rewards such as resources, status, or power. Although humans have established many types of societies over time, I will focus on defining two main categories including industrial and post-industrial society. Industrial societies are driven by the use of machines and factories to enable mass production. They are generally characterized by the use of external energy sources to increase the rate and scale of production. Industrialization brought about changes in almost every aspect of society. As factories became the center of work, urbanization became desirable and large cities emerged. Wage work and job specialization allowed more efficient means to manufacture goods, but also lead to a more complex division of labour. Post-industrial societies are based on information, knowledge, and the selling of services. This society develops at a stage when the...

... When an immigrant settles in a new country, they may run into many barriers. Settling in a new country itself is a huge challenge, since the country and its environment is new to them. Migrating is a big challenge, which leads people to language barriers, a lack of recognition for foreign credentials, or issues with integration. But Multicultural Canada has its own ways in which migrants can easily settle into Canada. Translators are widely available Canada. Most of the workers in Canadian banks know more than one language, just to help to immigrants with their accounts. (You can apply for bank loan, almost in any language).

...Understanding Pro-Immigration Attitudes in Canada In September 2015, Denmark’s immigration ministry published an advertisement in several newspapers in Lebanon, a country that hosts over one million Syrian refugees, to discourage refugees from coming to Denmark. The ad listed many reasons that portray Denmark as a wrong destination for refugees (Denmark advert in Lebanon, 2015). Although it was not stated explicitly, the message was very clear: refugees are not welcome in Denmark. This negative attitude towards immigrants is not exclusive to Denmark. In fact, most European countries have followed suit and have shown an attitude that ranges from reluctant to hostile. Even in a country like the United States that has been known as a “nation of...

...Canada…the BEST Place to Live! Canada was and still is almost certainly one of the best places to live, because of its diversity. Canada surpassed other countries during the 1990s in many different categories such as; Human Rights, Culture, Technology and most of all the influence of the Military/War. The power the military and war played in Canada being the best place to live was evident during the Vimy Ridge battle in WWI, D-Day in WWII and during the Suez Crisis of 1956 during the post war years. Because of the success Canadians achieved during these encounters, Canada was seen as the best place to live. Vimy Ridge is an example of a battle were Canadians began to form an identity separate from that of France or Britain, liberating the country, which made it a great place to live. Before the Vimy Ridge battle, Canadians were fresh faced and rightfully under-estimated. Conversely, as soon as the battle commenced, Canadians earned a reputation for aggressive attack. The Germans were shocked at the aggression the Canadians were showing but were quick to realize that when a large number of Canadian troops all arrived at the same place, a battle would soon take place. This battle was arguably the first time in history that Canadians were seen as a threat. Leadership was also effectively portrayed during this battle due to the fact that it was the first total Canadian victory with Canadian troops fighting together under Canadian leadership. This was a crucial step in the growth...
