Lesson 2B - Generalization and Rationale

Generalization

Multiculturalism supports the existence of cultural diversity.

Rationale

Canada is a country that prides itself on being multicultural and for recognizing and supporting the existence of a variety of ethnicities and cultures. The federal government has created numerous legal documents and policies that recognize the rights of Aboriginal People. Unfortunately, these policies do not always guarantee Aboriginal People access and rights to self-determination, a political policy that is the focus of many Aboriginal organizations. At the same time, many argue that Aboriginal People have been subject to assimilation policies historically and that the trend continues today.
