Part A: Reflection
In this unit I learned that metis are children of first nations women and french traders and explorers. I found it really interesting that English became the official language of Alberta in 1892.I can connect what have learned in class to me as a Canadian Citizen because i assimilated my culture, and Canadian culture, and how I live in a multi-cultural and bilingual society. What surprised me this unit was the CRTC created laws so that Canadian music is kept and heard in Canada so we don't just have American music in the radio.One concept I am still having difficulty with is if Canada is officially bilingual,in canada people are anglophone and francophone then why they speak English in most of the cities. One queston I still have is why metis are called metis.One skill or learning strategy I found useful was World wheel.If I was to teach someone how to use this I would tell them to first write 8 worlds in centre of the sheet Then write them in the boxes Next don't just write them in boxes you should know how to relate them Finally relate one world to another This will help them learn/remember Outsoursing is when Transnational corporation fires its call recievers for other people in different countries.
Part B: Economic Globalization
The reason corporations outsource is the cost of production in pakistan and that is no one's fault but our own. We have made it so expensive to do business here with all of our taxes and unions that in order to make a profit businesses are in business to make money - they have no choice but to outsource or just go out of business.
Part C: Globalization and Identity
In my opinion Maximime Bernier is saying that they don't need Bill 101 to protect the French language. He is also saying that he know's that everybody can speak frecnch in Quebec and he is confident that they will speak french in future. Bill 101 is also known as Charter of the French language. It is protecting the use of the French language in Quebec by prohibiting the Francophone student to go to an Anglophone school. I think they passed bill 101 because Charter of the French language wanted to protect French language.
Argument is in favour of this is that the French language will be persevered and in crease the number of Francophobes. Arguments against is that immigrants have to learn French in order to immigrate into Canada when so may want to speak English.
In my opinion I agree with the statement that the government didn't have to get involved. In some ways I agree that the government should be involved because Quebec wants to separate from Canada, and Bill 101 is encouraging them to stay. This relates to globalization by linguistic identity, how the Government is trying to protect the French linguistic identity.
