Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

One of the principal objectives in the management of health care utilization is the reduction of practice variation through defined parameters that seek to ensure a cost-effective use of health care resources. However, factors related to individual determinants of utilization of health care services as well as the enabling factors must be taken into consideration in the discussion of health care utilization.

In recent research, the Chinese culture has not yet developed as fast as other nations of the world though some argue that China had the start in ...

Abstract

This brief essay studied the uninsured and the health care disparities they face. Essential Affordable Care Act provisions and their effects were studied. Critical factors affecting the health care of the uninsured were identified; these included race, ethnicity, income, socioeconomic status, culture, language and income. Several research studies concluded that while access to health care has improved, the quality of this care has not improved for the uninsured. Although the number of uninsured has been reduced dramatically since 2010, insurance costs continue to increase significantly. Failure of states to expand Medicaid benefits has limited uninsured patients’ health care options. ...

While sexuality remains a talking point in the modern society, many people are still being discriminated based on their sexual identities. It is essential to note that several people have become victims of racial discrimination as well as heterosexism in the modern society. While many people have fought to change the perception of the offenders, the battle against lesbianism is still alive in the society as many individuals do not consider it a cultural norm. Culturally acceptable codes of behavior have dictated that a particular behavior has to be observed by the members of the society to help nurture ...

I strongly support the views expressed by Zhou in the article. It is often said that America is a land of liberty, equality and opportunity. The gifted people get what they deserve.

1 Wagner starts his argument with referring to generally acknowledged dislike for Jews, noticed among people worldwide. The author defines it as “a rooted dislike of the Jewish nature” (Wagner 79). At the beginning of the article, the author claims this dislike to be almost completely irrespective of Arts, and Music as the particular art form. Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

Since the dawn of human civilization annihilation of millions of people has been occurring. After the two World Wars, this annihilation took place through many civil wars fought within the nations all over the world. The Genocide or the mass killing of a particular ethnic group has been a common phenomenon in civil wars. In 1990s, the Kashmiri Hindus were expelled by Muslim terrorists through severe massacre. The question is whether mass massacre is the answer to any problem. There is a universal agreement that genocide is immoral and unethical (Jones, 1999). Still even after the horrified consequences of ...

In the Chinese capitalist factory, peasant bodies are transformed into industrial bodies through various techniques. Ngai states that it took just one process to train the workers as specialists and suggests that the opportunity to gain skill in more than one work process required the workers to have worked on the line for more than a year. She also mentions that most workers were not aware of the features of the product they were working on, and also that they were not familiar with the English expressions that appeared on the instructions. They simply followed the instructions by understanding ...

Californios? Manifest destiny was a concept used by the Americans as a vision to enhance the expansion of their country regarding its exceptional behaviour, its size and regarding the general importance of the country globally. California began growing rapidly when deposits of gold were found in it. Many people came to California to trade for gold in the gold rush, and in the process, California turned from a remote, deserted land to a busy growing place. For example, San Francisco substantially grew from a small settlement of about 800 people to a big city of about hundred thousand people ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Diversity can be described as the sum total of all individual attributes within an organization (Binder et al., 2008). It is therefore the case that the foundational basis for the diversity is dependent on an individual’s background, culture, and perception. Consequently, it is critical that I undertake a personal evaluation based on my background, culture, and perception so as to have a conscious idea within the wider construct of diversity in my organization. Having been brought up in a contemporary middle class family, I never had to endure extreme struggles as is the case with some of the ...

Abstract

The decision to invade and occupy Veracruz, Mexico in 1914 by the Americans was a serious mistake. This brought about the development of resentment by the Mexicans of America, as it came on the heels of the loss of Mexican territory to the United States. President Wilson’s decision was clearly an example of the meddling that was to be typical of the United States in order to promote its hegemony around the world. That the United States would go as far as making decisions on who would become the leader of states such as Mexico and other neighboring ...

Oral history interview entails collecting information from individual about their past. It encompasses recording their feelings as well as thoughts about their future.

The prevalence of teen suicide is a growing concern in the healthcare industry, as it is ranked as the 2nd highest cause of death among the teenagers (Jason Foundation, 2016).

While the incidences of suicide had significantly decreased in the ‘90’s, this trend has now reverted, as there is an increase in suicide deaths.

The model of assimilation refers to a group of people integrating into a new culture assimilating its host's cultural elements such as language and customs, losing some or almost all of its original cultural elements.

The first generation of immigrants continues speaking their language. However, they left behind many of their cultural ...

Abstract The youth is the most at-risk group in terms of gang membership nowadays. It has been found in several studies that gang involvement largely appeal to adolescents, especially those living in poor neighborhoods, estranged or alienated in schools, and in conflict with police authorities or the larger criminal justice system. Researchers reported that the youth turns to gangs to compensate for their lack of adequate and proper socialization. Large communities, or areas with sizable populations, have serious gang-related problems. This paper discusses existing empirical studies on gang formation, membership, and violence. There is a considerable dearth of studies ...

Introduction

Historically, healthcare professional practiced in communities where they shared the same culture with those who seek various services. As such, this made it easy for the provision of health care at both individual and institutional levels. With the increase in population diversity in the nation as well as other regions in the world, health care provision has been affected by cultural and social factors that arise with the diversity in population composition (Marshall, 2005). In realization of this issue, it is imperative that health care professionals and institutions develop cultural competency. In this light, this paper will discuss issues ...

Migratory History It is said that ethnic Chinese first appeared on the western shores of North America during the period of the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, which is about between 1521 to 1815. They had accepted commissions as being businessmen, sailors and fishermen on the Spanish galleons that traversed the Pacific Ocean between the Philippines and Mexico (Brownstone, 2). Several numbers of ethnic Chinese were able to reach California as this state was still the territory of Mexico until 1848. Future expeditions to Vancouver by John Meares, a British fur trader, brought more Chinese into Vancouver around ...

What is “Cyprus problem”? When and why did it appear? “Cyprus problem” is the ethnic conflict between the two main ethnic communities on the island – Greek majority and Turkish minority. Stevens (2014) underlines that British Empire faced with it in 1925 when Cyprus became Crown Colony. Both communities think that Cyprus is their motherland but don’t want to live in peace together. Since 1974, they divided the island between them and separated from each other. Cyprus problem is a great question of nationalism. People are so biased that they forget about humanism and equality. Such problems are ...

Introduction

Health policy can be defined as a plan or decision combined with actions to achieve specific healthcare goals by implementing key strategies within the society (WHO, 2016).

Health policies enable organizations, institutes, societies, and groups to define outline, propose new goals, and inculcate different roles across various healthcare sectors (Záliš, et al. 2016).

The establishment of the modern national education system in Malaysia is one of the major effects of the post-colonial development within the nation (Zohar, 2004). During the British colonial rule in Malaysia, education system could be considered socially and academically narrow since it did not confine multicultural dynamics of the Malaysian society as well as the demographics of the nation. After the colonial period in the 1950s, the education system reform was implemented on the nation and segregated linguistic ethnic streams which comprise their population. The period of the end of the colonial rule in Malaysia also marks the ...

While sustainable development means meeting the needs of the present and future generations, and a focus on prevention of environmental degradation, several factors influence the attainment of these goals, specifically culture and organizations.

The Brundtland Commission was established in 1985 to address environmental problems due to economic development. Atmospheric pollution, climate change and global warming, accumulated wetlands, decreased freshwater quality, topsoil degradation, endangered species of animals and fishes, and forest degradation were environmental concerns discussed in the Brundtland Commission ( ...

PART 1a

My knowledge on mental health was limited prior to NSB023. I think these unfounded and biased preconceptions were based primarily on my racial and familial background, which seems to delineate persons with mental health issues unfairly, which are based primarily on what we see or read in the mass media. However, my firsthand experiences with mental health, in the course of completing NSB023, have broadened my understanding on this problem. I have come to realize that mental health issues are not necessarily due to an individual’s psychological ineptitude in dealing with conflicts or the reality, but may also ...

The concept of political development seems to be quite a simple one on its face. Without investigating the role of the state too deeply, it is clear to see that in general, there are distinctions between the developmental levels of states around the world; while poverty exists in every nation, there are some that are much more stricken with the problem than others. In addition, relative levels of poverty within a nation is a scalable phenomenon—that is, levels of poverty and the very meaning of poverty can change across different political landscapes around the world. The conceptualisation of ...

Challenge of Managing Diversity in a Global Context

Managers have to be up to date on how they can manage a global workforce by being more culturally intelligent. If they do so, the challenge brought about by the lack of proper understanding of diversity management will be eliminated at their workplaces since it is a very ineffective stumbling block. For instance, managers need to adopt practices that allow each employee to work according to their race, values, preferences, lifestyles, and even beliefs (Mor-Barak, 2011). Such diversity issues may lead to interpersonal conflict which lessens group cohesiveness and can be problematic despite bringing together creativity and problem-solving skills. ...

Globalization and changing environment lead to improvement of cultural interactions between people and, thus, require new approaches to education. The diversity in schools and universities and different cultural and family background of students result in the new role of a teacher as a "guide" who is able to perceive each of his students as an individual with a personal set of skills and is able to find to each of them personal educational approach. It is especially challenging for early education when children just learn to interact with each other and to be tolerant. The terms "diversity" and "cultural ...
