Unit 1 Bog

Part A: Reflection

In this unit I learned Cultural contact, Foundations of Historical Globalization, Historical Globalization and Imperialism, Legacies of Imperialism and the Impact of Imperialism. I found it really interesting that English became the official language of Alberta in 1892. I can connect what I 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 on the radio. One concept I am still having difficulty with is if Canada is officially a bilingual country, why do people speak English in most of the cities. One question I still have is, where did the metis get there name from. 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 the 8 worlds on a sheet of paper. Then write them  in the boxes, 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. Outsourcing is when transnational corporation fires its call receivers for other people in different countries. 

Part B: Economic Globalization

 

  

The reason corporations outsource is the cost of production in Lebanon 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 French 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 favor of this is that the French language will be persevered and in crease the number of Francophone's. 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.

Historical Globalization

Part A : Reflection 

In this unit I learned that Imperialism occurs when a stronger nation take over weaker nation.I found it really interesting that when one strong country gets control of a weaker nation, other strong countries follow.What surprised me in this unit was children got separated from their parents to go to Residential schools. One concept I am still having difficulty with is why did Churches open residential schools.One skill or learning strategy I found useful was soaps because it tells you where it happened, why it happened, for who this happened and when this happened.

Part B : Early Economic Globalization

In Mercantilism the Monarch had the most power.Sometimes a monarch would give one company a complete control in a colony.The monarch would get most of the goods so it made the company's unhappy, so the decided to get all the goods and give the monarch nothing without the monarch knowing and it was called Capitalism came after Mercantilism because many merchants wanted freedom to make their own money.Capitalism was kind of like a competition because in Mercantilism there was only one company but in capitalism there is more than one company so it was harder to get lots of goods. After a while the company wanted things that colony's cant make so they decided to make factories and machines which was called Industrialization, than they wanted things that colony's and factories cant make like fruits but their land only grew some kinds of fruits so they traveled to other countries and took them over for their goods and power and it was called Imperialism.

Part C: Impacts of Imperialism

The source is a white man washing his hands, and on the corners there are different boats and a black man on the ground looking at a Britten man. The source is trying to tell us about Imperialism in Africa which was called Scramble for Africa, which is about more than one country meeting in Berlin for a conference to decide which country's they will Civilize in Africa. British and France controlled most of the Colonies in Africa.

Part D: Legacy of Imperialism in Canada

The Legacy of Imperialism in Canada was determined by the outcome of the Seven Years War between France and Great Britain. For example the British who won the war were given the territories of France in what is now Canada.This shows that the British taking control of the territories the use of English became the primary language for business and government. Another example The British wanted to preserve the loyalty of the Canadians during the war with the American colonies.This shows that the passage of the Quebec Act was to guarantee the Canadians their rights in language and religion .Therefore The war between France and Great Britain helped to determine the outcome of what is now Canada if the war had been decided in a different manner than what we are today could be different.

Part E: Connection to Globalization

Globalization is the system of interaction among the countries of the world in order to develop the global economy.Globalization is related to what I have learned because before every country kept to them self's and didn't what to interact with other country's but know every country is interacting with each other by trading goods and products and most people travel to other places around the world to learn about there culture and to see what it is like in other places. This is how Globalization is related to what I have learned.

What i have learned so far about Globalization

Globalization is a trend towards greater interconnectedness and interdependence of the world.

Eight types of globalization:

- Geographical- Border less world.

- Cultural- TV, religion.
- Financial- Oil prices, stock markets.

Economic- The process of exploring the worlds trading networks.
Political- The process by witch political decisions and actions are becoming increasingly international 

Blog Introductory Assignment: Part 2

I am trying to hand in all my assignments that have been given to me on time and have been taking all the notes in class. I am having difficulty with some of the words we have learned so far in Social Studies 10-2.

My Goals

Focus more during class time, improve my social vocabulary and hand in all my assignments on time. 

Blog Introductory Assignment: Part 3

This picture is a type of globalization because this image is a great example of technology. This image represents me because i always use my Ipad on my free time and i am always browsing the Internet.  

Imperialism

I am doing a project about Indias colonoization before and after. One fact i learned today is that India has the second largest population in the world, and another fact is that India became an independent country on the 15th of August 1947.

Welcome To My Blog!

The purpose of this blog is to reflect upon my learning and share with my classmates, teacher and my parents what i have been learning in Social 10-2.
