Learning Activity 3.5, Task 4: What do I believe in?

I believe that uniforms should not be used in schools for many reasons. First, they hinder students' creativity and self-expression by forcing everyone to dress the same, limiting their ability to show individuality through clothing. Uniforms can also be surprisingly expensive, especially when parents are required to buy specific items from approved suppliers—often besides regular clothes for outside of school. Most importantly, uniforms don't address the real issues in schools, such as bullying or social pressure, which are rooted in deeper problems than just what students wear. Uniforms hinder a child's creative expression and teach them to be uniform to others, not unique. Students do not get to make real-world choices and while yes, they may have uniforms at work, most uniforms still allow for some choice. For example, I get to wear whatever pants I want that are comfortable; I still get to choose what close-toed shoes I wear and what black top I want to wear. Having a ...

Learning Activity 3.5, Task 2: What has influenced me?

We all experience culture in one way or another. Culture comes in various forms through food, entertainment, fashion, architecture, and leisure activities.

Whether it's enjoying a meal inspired by a distant country, watching a foreign film, wearing clothes with global roots, or spending time in a culturally inspired space, culture surrounds us and enriches our lives. Culture comes in various forms through food, entertainment, fashion, architecture, and leisure activities. Embracing these diverse experiences helps us understand different perspectives, fosters empathy, and highlights the shared humanity that connects us all.  Through food I experience culture as I get to enjoy different types of cuisines. For example, I get to enjoy Italian cuisine when I eat pasta or pizza, Canadian cuisine when I eat poutine or maple syrup on pancakes, and Mexican food when I eat tacos ...

Learning Activity 3.5, Task 1: Where do I live?

Image
  According to the 2021 Census, Brampton, Ontario, has a population of approximately 656,480 residents. I live in Brampton, which is a very dense and popular city for people of all ethnicities. Brampton is known for its large Indian immigrant population as shown in the chart. The gender distribution has remained fairly equal with a slightly higher percentage of females. In 2021, Brampton's population was made up of 17.9% children aged 0-14, 23.4% youth age 15-29, 46.2% adults aged 30-64 and 12.5% seniors age 65+.  ( Profile Table, Census Profile, 2021 Census of Population - Brampton, City (CY) [Census Subdivision], Ontario , 2024) Since Brampton is so dense in its Indian population its not surprising that most of my neighbours are Indian. I've learned a lot about their culture through family friends that live in the surrounding neighbourhood. I've noticed that as time has gone on since my family moved to Brampton 12 years ago that the population is just ever growing and so ...
