Cultural Diversity: Assimilation or Integration? Is the Canada a “melting pot” or a “salad bowl”? Fill maple leaf in with Canadian, traits, values, ideas, and culture…

Diversity - main characteristic of the Canadian society Canada is a country of immigrants: 1600s: the first overseas settlers came from France, followed later by other Europeans 1775-1783 (during the American Revolution): thousands of American loyalists came 1900s (before the WWI) : a substantial number of Italians arrived 1950-1970: the second wave of Italian immigrants today: 220 000 - 250 000 immigrants per year from all over the world

Canada today the second largest country in the world, covering an area of 10 million km2 about 35 540 400 people from all over the world, representing more than 200 groups of different ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic heritage; two official languages (English and French), but more than 80 languages, spoken ‘at home’ by various groups and communities

Conclusion: diversity is a fundamental and enduring characteristic of the Canadian society; mutual tolerance and respect are some of the core values of the Canadian identity; these values are embedded in the Canadian social and political model. Canada = the first country in the world to proclaim and pursue multiculturalism as an official policy of the government (1971)

1971 Multicultural Policy of Canada Recognized: value of all regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, or religion Confirmed: rights of Aboriginal peoples two official languages integration of cultures, not assimilation equality and opportunity through the law

Melting Pot the newcomers should give up their specific ethnic identities, cultural characteristics and traditions in favor of some new, universalized, set of values and symbols (a policy of assimilation)

Mosaic (or Salad Bowl) each cultural group is preserving their cultural and religious heritage, while contributing to the development of the country as a whole (integration)

Melting Pot or Salad Bowl Are we melting into one? Or are we still separate? Integrated?
