12 Opportunities for Identity

13

14

15

16 Cosmopolitan Something that is made up of elements from different parts of the world. The more diverse the parts, the more cosmopolitan a person, place, or organization will be. In today’s global world, many large cities are becoming extremely cosmopolitan. Toronto

17

18 Accommodation Making adjustments and reaching a compromise to allow for difference- often leads to… Integration- providing equal opportunity for participation of different groups in society.

19

20 Opportunities for Identity

21 Acculturation The process of adapting to a new society.
People may chose to acculturate as much or as little as they like. Can sometimes lead to assimilation- a process of gradually adopting the identity of the majority.

22

23 Integration happens when…
New members are accepted into the community; they obtain jobs, learn one or both of Canada’s official languages, and respect Canadian laws. Individuals can choose to add to, rather than give up their identities, but begin to think of themselves as Canadian (or hyphenated Canadian), rather than Scottish, Kenyan, or Sri Lankan- for example. This was the goal of First Nations in signing treaties… Problem was, the government’s goal was assimilation.

25 Grade 9, Accommodate Buddy Day with Grade 12s only.
Show them around; orientation Integration- treated equally, can join a team/participate equally, etc., know the rules, etc. Acculturation- have adopted some of the practices of others in the new environment… At St. Peter we do this... Clean up at lunch??!!

26 Read The Article It's Time To Start Talking About Second-Gen Canadians (also would be the ones most commonly identifying themselves as hyphenated Canadians). Write down in your notes one challenge to Second-Gen Canadians’ identity and one opportunity that comes to mind after reading the article. Be prepared to share with a neighbour and the whole class.

27 Urbanization

28 Industrial Revolution

29 Industrial Revolution
Factories became the main way to manufacture goods/factories built mainly in cities. Factories needed labour; people want/need opportunities. People moved from rural setting to urban- trend continues until today. Today, globalization has contributed to similar circumstances in less developed countries.

30 Cities Have become important centres of business, industry, technology, politics, and culture. Megacity- urban city with a population of 10 million or more.

31

32 Cities More people now live in metropolises than ever before; immigrants tend to arrive in new countries via big cities. Why- turn to a buddy and come up with 2 reasons.

34 Canada grows on you over time?

35

36 Most desired immigrants
Education Knowledge of Official Language Experience/Skills Age Arranged Employment in Canada Adaptability Medical Exam/Free of Disease or Disability Enough Funds to Settle in Canada

37 Groups of Three or Four Discuss which characteristic(s) you believe are/should be most important in shaping immigration law and policy in Canada; provide evidence and examples to support your argument. Be ready to share your point of view. Is there anything left off of the list that should be added?

38 Responses to Opportunities for Identity
Here’s an example where a challenge to one group’s identity resulted (through their resilience and responses to challenges) in the maintaining of identity and a strengthening of identity/an opportunity for identity…

39 The Acadians Francophones of Atlantic Canada (includes the Maritime Provinces: New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia & the province of Newfoundland & Labrador). Originally a French colony, but France gave up its control to the British in 1713.

40 As tensions between Britain & France grew…
Britain demanded an oath of allegiance/an official declaration of loyalty. Acadians refused… British military drove them out of their homes; burned villages, seized property, and deported about Acadians. Deportees were sent to France, Britain, and the colonies along the eastern seaboard. Le Grand Derangement In spite of being turned out of their homes and separated from their families, Acadians maintained a strong identity.

41 Traditions Language Music Food History Stories

42 And… As they began to return to the area and realized they had become a large group again, they began to organize community events, lobby for Francophone schooling, and to create and promote Acadian arts to the rest of Canada. Drama, literature, and music became important ways of sharing Acadian history and maintaining a distinct identity. 1881 Acadian Convention

44 Acadians Today New Brunswick, bilingual province, 1969

48 Cultural Revitalization
An effort to restore new life to a culture Global markets and modern technologies can bring new life to a group’s identities. A culture is largely expressed through language; maintain culture and affirm identity by: Speaking their language Creating drama, music and literature in their own language Passing knowledge, history and heritage on to children Keeping connections with others in the group
