Individual Multiculturalism

This photo talks about the African Heritage month in Nova Scotia, the African community in Nova Scotia is embracing their heritage and what it means to be Canadian. I think that this shows that the African community in Nova Scotia is remembering how they got to Canada by looking to the past but also looking to the future. The African community in Nova Scotia started out as slaves but came to Canada to gain their freedom, and that is something to celebrate. Canada has also shown that we are embracing the African community by holding this event and showing that the African community throughout Canada is just as important as any other culture here.

This website mentions that Canada’s multiculturalism may be a threat to our Canadian identity. What it means by this is that with so many different cultures and communities here not everyone will agree with each other, as each community has gone through different experiences and sees things differently. While this can be seen as a problem it can also be a strength, with so many different cultures each with unique backgrounds we can see multiple sides to an issue and come to a common ground that is fair to everyone.

 

I believe that we in Canada are a very multicultural society and that we should explore this even more. I also believe that because of this we are a better country, with this multicultural identity we can see things through others perspectives and work together to expand and mix cultures. Overall while it may be a delicate and difficult thing to be multicultural I think it is well worth it.
