Cultural
Mosaic
- Culture,
in anthropology, the patterns of behaviour and thinking that people living
in social groups learn, create, and share. Culture distinguishes one human
group from others. It also distinguishes humans from other animals. A
people's culture includes their beliefs, rules of behaviour, language,
rituals, art, technology, styles of dress, ways of producing and cooking
food, religion, and political and economic systems.
- Mosaics,
works of art of surface decorations, composed of variously colored small
pieces of glass, stone, ceramics, or other materials. Although mosaic
decoration is most frequently found on floors and wall and ceiling surfaces,
closely set colored components, or tesserae, may also be applied to
sculptures, panels, and other objects.
- Ethnic
Groups in Canada,
groups of people in Canada who share the same history and culture. There are
about 120 different ethnic groups in Canada, and many have maintained their
own languages and cultures. Canada has been described as a cultural mosaic
where ethnic groups remain distinct. In contrast the United States is
characterized as a melting pot in which ethnic identities are absorbed by a
larger American identity. Through a policy called multiculturalism, the
Canadian government officially encourages each of Canada's ethnic groups to
preserve its own heritage and to share it with the rest of the Canadian
population.
- Canadian
Culture is a Culture of its own with many different races, customs,
traditions, and more. The opinion of the government is that Canada has a
British and French heritage.
- Yes,
The above does apply to me because I have a different heritage then a
Canadian, I have a heritage that of a different nation. And traditions,
which are my own.
- Yes,
the above does apply to my school. At our school we have allot of different
children from different places, with different traditions and customs.
- No
I do not agree with the House of Commons, I think that any one person with a
different culture or background should be recognized for what they are and
not discarded of it because they are a minority.
