Blog Week 9 - Perfect Society

The Perfect Society

A society with a strong culture of sharing with each other and loving one another, working together, laughing, finding and enjoying bliss, living happily and beautifully, with everyone’s best interest equivalent to each individual’s own best interest.

Our current society is certainly sick, and even if you found it to be sufficient for yourself, it is certainly not sufficient for everyone else. A perfect society isn't exactly possible, not EVERYONE in the world is going to follow new rules and act differently than they already do. They will still continue violence and fighting no matter what people say. It's never going to be just peaceful everyday and everyone being happy, together.

Blog 6 - Canada - WW2

World War Two - Canada

There was no doubt as to what Canada’s position would be: in the event of war between Britain and any combination of enemies threatening the survival of the ‘Mother Country’, Canada would support Britain. When the time came, Canada quickly offered its aid.

From a population of only 11.5 million, slightly more than one million Canadians served in uniform during the conflict.These military contributions helped win the war, but the cost was high, more than 42,000 Canadians lost their lives, and another 55,000 were wounded.On the home front, industry produced massively to support the war effort. Canada produced warships, merchant vessels, bombers, fighters, tanks, vehicles of all kinds, artillery pieces, and all sorts of military equipment and munitions, employing millions of people directly or indirectly. Farms produced immense amounts of meat, grain, and other produce to help keep Canada, Britain, and the Allies fed and fighting.

week 10

I disagree with putting NORAD at.5 because it was beneficial to Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile defense. in my opinion NORAD should be a +2 because it was run by the US and Canadian government.We also collaborated with them for the Distant Early Warning lines.NORAD was beneficial because North America was protected again an ICBM strike.

week 9

In my opinion a model society is a society is a place where every ones opinion is noticed. I would have a democratic government. There would be no poverty. There will be ample amounts of job opportunities for the unemployed.There will be many recreational activities for young and old alike.

week 8

 I chose the Forgotten War because this war had maximal Canadian input. There were losses but it was a sweet victory. With that in mind it was called the Forgotten War  because it wasn't in Canada,also the medals were given  four decades later.There were no parades for the soliders when they came home

Nathan Week 5

I do not Agree with Canada's decision to not let the People of the Sr. Louis in. I think this because it ruins Canada help full and nice reputation by rejecting to take innocent people in need of a home. Another reason i think this is because it just seems like they are contributing to the neglect and hate that the Jewish people are getting. We should have done the complete opposite of what we did so we don't contribute to that bad attitude. my third reason is that its just very rude and mean to reject them and it makes them feel even more un-wanted. Another reason is why not? its not like Canada has over population by taking the people in it might have actually helped Canada. In conclusion I hope that you agree with me that what Canada did was not okay.

Blog Week #10

I have to disagree with where NATO went, it should be at 0 or 0.5. I say this because it made us more enemies than allies, as well as it put us in the middle of firing range for Russia to fire a nuclear   missile right on top of us and not hit its real target, USA, Also we would have to defend ourselves against a nuclear war if that did happen.

blog week 10

The most damaging thing to creating a perfect society was native residential schools because they would beat the children and in a perfect society there isn't child abuse. They could have just not had the residential schools and that would fix the problem.

Week 10

I think that the quiet revolution is the most damaging to a perfect because. not only do we have to worry about thing like NORAD and varies cries, but now the people in our own country are revolting against  us if we cant even keep peace in our own borders how can we help the rest of the rest of the world with its problems. also some one put the quiet revolution at 0 on the value line and that's well not right because people are revolting even know its "quiet" doesn't mean its neutral or OK.

Week#10

For this weeks blog I will be writing about what I think did the most damage to creating a perfect society and why it did so much damage. In my opinion the thing that did the most damage to creating a perfect society was that PM L.St.Laurent had no universal health care in Canada during his time as PM. The reason this was so bad is because with no health care plan in action the people of Canada where more venerable to injuries. Also with no health care plan in play this meant that if someone where to get hurt they would have to pay for the treatment that they required.  I think that a universal health care plan should have been the first thing that PM St.Laurent did as PM. This was the thing that I think affected Canada building a perfect society the most. I hope you enjoy this blog and can understand my reasoning for thinking this. Till next week. LW

DEW Lines

     The DEW lines should be at 0 and not +1 because there was basically no use for them. That's because Canada was never attacked during any of the wars, so there was no need to worry. But it was kinda of a good thing, because it can be useful in the future. It also showed to other countries that they were afraid of being attacked. 

Week 9

Is a perfect society possible I don't believe it is because to make Canada perfect there are so many topics that you would have to shed light to like the aboriginals the fact that some people in Quebec still don't like English speaking people. We would have to cover topics as bid as global warming and as small as under aged drinking  there are so many things we would have to fix I think that we are to far gone.

Prime Minister Visions - Blog Week #10

I most support Trudeau's vision; A Just Society. I think this vision is an idea towards a perfect society because, with everyone having their fair share, no one is unhappy. Also, with this being in place, everyone has a chance to sustain themselves. With this, more people will both earn and gain money, both by jobs and by selling products (Store owners).  This could also go into human equality, meaning different races or genders would not be discriminated, with everyone treated fairly. These are the reasons I support Trudeau's vision; A Just Society.

Week 4- Nathan

My overall impression on Canada during 1914-1929 is that it was a very good nation and it was growing fast. Some examples would be steps to being completely independent like raising up its own army and making decisions for itself. Like the crisis in turkey when they refused to send to troops to help fight with the UK. Overall Canada was a very good nation that was very promising with a thriving economy. Another reason why I think Canada was very good nation is because its involvement and accomplishments in WW1. One example would be Vimy Ridge thought to be impossible to take, but the Canadians took it. This helped it be a great nation because it gave them some reputation which helped give pride to Canadians.

Blog #9

A perfect society would have employment available for a diverse work force, disabled, youth, unskilled, and skilled labour. For example work experiences with major employers would be mandatory for youth graduating school. Health care would be accessible with no wait lists. There would b affordable housing for every member of the community. Funding would be available so every house hold would have the latest technology. Lush environments that are protected from pollution and other man made environmental impacts, so these environments can sustain food production. Bee keeping and hives are mandatory for every ten acres of agricultural land.  

Week #8

For this blog post I will be talking about the Korean war other wise known as the forgotten war among veterans.  The Korean war started in 1950 and ended in 1953. 27000 Canadians went to Korea, that's twice as many as were sent on Dday and 6 times as many as in the gulf war.  Out of the 27000 soldiers sent to Korea 616 died.  The Americans used better weapons in the war then the Canadian soldiers did, so Canadian soldiers used to trade alcohol for guns. Both American and Canadian soldiers fought under the U.N's flag during the Korean war.

Blog 5 - How people coped with depression.

How People Coped With Depression In The 1930's.

Perhaps the worst part of living through the Depression was the shame of being out of work. People had to be taught that if they were poor, it was their own fault. Only lazy people failed. When people were hungry and had no money they lined up at the soup kitchen and had to work for it even if it was as simple as digging a hole and filling it in the next day. Individuals seen drinking, driving a car, or attending a race track lost their relief. They reused old goods to save up and when there was nothing left at home on the land, they set off across the country, looking for work.

Blog 4 - Canada In The 1920's

Canada In The 1920's

Canadian society in the 1920's had many biases towards minority groups and women. Rules between men and women were very unfair. For example, it was not proper for a married woman to work, get college or university degrees, if women were to work they'd be cleaning ladies, teachers' clerk or nurse. People then were very sexist. All the men got the good jobs like law, journalism and medicine which were all "natural" for men. Women faced discrimination , ridicule, financial hardship and loneliness.

An era of invention in the early 1920's gave the lifestyle we know today. Electricity became part of everyday life in the 1920's. People could buy electric stoves, washing machines, irons, vaccums cleaners and toasters. These appliances may not have looked like those we use today, but the make homework and cooking easier.

For entertainment, many Canadian cities and towns had theaters, which had been built during the 1920's. Live variety shows for the whole family were so popular. There were many young people going to nightclubs where they listen to jazz music. Other went dancing. There was live orchestra's in the dance halls playing the latest tunes. But the most popular entertainment of all was the movies.

Unit 1 Summative - Canada's independence

In WW1, Canada’s independence was much like a pre-teen and Britain was Canada’s babysitter. Canada had their own independence but still has to rely on Britain for quite a lot of things. Canada has to join the war when Britain did but still got to choose who else goes to war. 

Canada also didn’t have any say in where they got to fight, although Vimy Ridge Canadian soldiers fought on their own they got to choose how and developed new strategies on the way. Canada’s independence was also much like a teenager because  Canada has a lot of their own responsibilities like when the Canadian fisheries minister signed the treaty.

I think that Pearson did the most for Canada because he wanted to make Canada country others could count on. I think that this provides a interesting opportunity for Canada because they are trying to get more noticed by the rest of the world he wanted Canada to bring peace to the rest of the world. therefore I think that Pearson is the person who did the most foe Canada.

blogger #8

Korean was a forgotten war because of how some of the medals came in the mail, instead of a ceremony and there was also no big celebration for the soldiers that just came from the war. Usually soldiers get their medals at a ceremony but in this war just some of the soldiers got medals but they came in the mail so it made them think that the war was for nothing so it made them think that it wasn't worth it and continues with their lives like nothing happened same with everyone else who didn't fight because they didn't really hear or know about the Korean war when it ended. Canadians shouldn't forget about it because more Canadians fought in that war then Dday (2x) and in the Gulf war (6x).  The war was also a long war which was 3 years (1950-1953), Canadians should remember because it had a small impact on some Canadians

This week we learn about the Korean war . this war wasn't thought much of from the rest of the world . i don't quite know why because there were more soldiers that had a part of this war then d-day and the gulf war. i believe that the soldiers should have been more appreciated more by the UN and there county but they weren't and i also believe that the war should have more presents in history.

blogger #9

A perfect society to me would be where everything is clean and there would always be community helpers around the community having different ways of making the community a better place. A community where everyone gets along and no ones unhappy and there's hardly any crime. A perfect society is also where there's lots of varieties of stores and parks and malls that would make people want to get out of their house and walk around and drive and spend time with their family. A society where the standard of living is cheap but the houses look up to date and nice. The pay is also excellent so you would be able to spend a fair amount of money on new appliances or shopping for clothes and ect each month.

Blog Week #9

I think that a perfect society is possible. I think so because all you would have to do is purge the place you want to make perfect of anyone who will try to kill you and your dream, or ask the police to protect you from people that will try to stop you, and also get the people to rally and help stop all of the negative things happening within the country. As well as you could just go onto the news and ask if you could give a speech and if they agreed you would get the people to rally and help you bring utopia into a reality. if they said no you could just go to the station and ask if you could,  and if that doesn't work you could go to another new broadcasting station hub and ask them if you could give the speech.

Is a Perfect Society Possible? - Week #9

I do not thing a perfect society is possible. First of all, the economy would not be able to handle all money problems easily. Secondly,  there would be disagreements no matter what. Also, if everything was even, money would still be a problem (Budget Wise). As well, having jobs for everyone would be very hard to do with both pay and finding the jobs. Finally, People would complain if they didn't think what they had was the same as everyone else.

Canada Creating a Model Society

       
             Canada is doing a pretty good job of creating a model society. There are some imperfections, the positive side is outweighing the negative side by a lot. Some of the things that are: Removal of discrimination, Aboriginal right to vote, bill of rights, new minimum wage, student loans, universal care; and so on. This made everybody feel like they were apart of something good and not alone.

blog week 8

A perfect society is not possible because there's always gonna be people that break the law and get into trouble, not everyone is gonna make the same amount of money, some people are gonna be homeless. people are always gonna litter and pollute the society. some religions might not be allowed.

blog week 9

A perfect society would have high employment, available food and shelter for homeless, all religions are accepted, available health care, free education, no pollution, multicultural, healthy relationships, available resources, equality, democratic, low crime rate, prosperity, stable, good relations with other societies, modern technology, freedom of speech, balanced incomes, self-sufficient, peaceful, easy transportation, cares for environment, values human rights, strong military, no taxes, and would have a welfare system.

my perfect society

Hello today i am going to be talking to you about my perfect society. In my eyes a perfect society would be there is always jobs available so no one has to go with out work. Free health care would also have to be apart of my perfect society. Also that there is always things to do for people of all ages. Jobs in all industry would be goo because then would always be a job that could possibly interest some one.

Blog Week #8

In the cold war they sent more people than D-Day and it wasn't endangering Canada and we helped the people protect South Korea and were only able to get a seas fire. When the men returned they weren't given a victory Parade and weren't given medals for fighting in that fight. The fight was considered (in it's time) to be Police work.

Blog#6

For this weeks blog post I will be writing about Canada's involvement in World War 2. One of the things that Canada was involved with during world war 2 was the Italian raid, the Italian raid began on the island of Sicily  were we deployed 92000 troops. Another thing Canada did during the war was the liberation of the Netherlands, 237000 men and women served in the Netherlands 11000 lives were lost. Canada also contributed to building the first atomic bomb, there was a team of scientists moved from England to Canada to study atomic energy.  

Blog#5

I disagree with the Canadian Government's way of dealing with  the st. Louis. One of the reasons I disagree with what the Government did is because the st. Louis was full of refugees. People who needed help, people who needed Canada's help were forced to wait twelve days before being turned away simply because the Government felt they shouldn't get involved. This right here is the main reason why I disagree with what the Canadian Government did and why I think it was an irresponsible decision on their part.

This propaganda poster was used to encourage enrollment of men to serve overseas for the 73^rd Royal Highlanders of Canada regiment. The message is that men are needed to defend their country. This poster appeals to the patriotic side of people as it talks about fighting to preserve our freedom . It also  uses the statement “God Save the King” which people at that time used to define their patriotism to the King of Canada and Britain. I like  this poster because it shows a lot about  the time period and our dependence on Britain. It demonstrates that while we were not yet independent of Britain governance, there was a sense of country and comradery. The war united people for a cause.

My cousin is a museum curator and currently is assigned as a consultant for the artifacts in the Governor Generals house. He would treasure the contents of the artifacts box and give you the significance of each item. The cap in the box was worn by a high ranking officer.I wish my cousin was with me when we saw the artifact as he would be able to provide much greater detail about the item and it’s significance. Barbed wire was used in trench warfare to slow the enemy down during an invasion. It was  set up in patterns that could not be easily distinguished and the invaders would get caught in it and could not easily escape.   The rattler in the box was used to alert men in the trench that gas had been released so that they would  quickly put on their gas masks to protect themselves.

Canada vs U.S Culture

    After Canada became decolonized from Britain, it underwent a period in which American culture was introduced. Canada started to rely on the American Culture for many different things. Firstly, American media was starting to surface in Canada, starting with radio broadcasts, TV shows, even American news was shown here. When Canada became the country it is known for today, the States and Canada started to rely on each others economy and have a steady import/export plan in place to help each others economy therefore that is why Canada was starting to get many American products. Lastly, The United States of American became a very wealthy ally for Canada, and you must remember Canada was just starting out as a new Country and never really had non-British assets (military, economy) until they U.S became a strong Ally.

Second blog - Canadian Propaganda Poster

http://www.angelfire.com/ego/mr.f/SubjectLinks/history/gr8canadachangingsociety/propagandaposters.html


The message of this propaganda poster is to convince the public to give up their food for the soldiers and saying that "well fed soldiers will win the war", when in reality the soldiers were very hungry, even starving regardless of how much food there was because of the vast number of troops and the short supply of food. The intended audience for this poster would be the men, women and children on the home front because their "job" was to help support the war by saving food or recycling or really anything that could benefit the troops overseas. Some of the techniques used in the poster are for one, the explosion going off in the background to show people how bad war is and much danger the troops were in. Also the fact that some of the words (YOU, FOOD, WILL WIN, and WAR) are capitalized showing how eager the troops are to get food. There is also the soldier with a straight face pointing at the wood "FOOD" showing that they are in desperate need of food.

Korean war

The Korean war is the forgotten war. It is the forgotten the forgotten war because it did not affect any Canadians civilians. The war started in 1950 and it ended in 1953. 27,000 Canadian soldiers went to Korea, two times as many men that were at D day. The Canadian soldiers got medals 38 years after the war and the veterans had to pay for their own wall of remembrance because no government would fund it.

Korean war

     The Korean war is called the forgotten war. Many soldiers were forgotten about and nobody really appreciated them. 27,000 Canadians went to the war and 516 of them died. It was only about 40 years later the veterans got their medals. Not all got a ceremony most got their medals in the mail with their flyer's. Straight after the war there was no parade's or celebrations for the soldiers who came back. This probably made the family's who have lost someone in that war would have felt upset and as if they weren't appreciated. Veterans also had to pay for a memorial for the war they fought in. No matter what war it is, all soldiers should be remembered.

Blog Week #7

For the forgotten war I think the veterans should have gotten their war medals, their memorial, as well as a pension for their services. they fought in the war under the UN flag, during the fight they exchanged Booze for better weaponry. in the war 516 Canadians were killed in the front lines. This fight was known as the forgotten war. the fight ended in July 27th 1957. They sent 27000 people to this fight. The veterans had to raise money for their own memorial. In the end of the war they didn't get a parade. Back then that fight was known as police work.

Week #8 - The Korean War Veterans

The Korean War was a forgotten war. Veterans were not honored for their fight. Instead, some of them got their medal in the mail with no ceremony. 40 years after the war, they were recognized, but not honored. Veterans decided to make their own Wall of Remembrance and Memorial. These Veterans were treated very poorly for their services.
