尴尬的加拿大

加拿大人虽然讲美式英语,但是加拿大人说话有口音．喜欢在句子末尾加一个诶（ei）字,就好像咱山东人爱说伙计一样,加拿大人看见你．总是说：今天的天不错．诶（ei）？一听就是加拿大人,经常被美国人拿来开玩笑。虽然每个加拿大人都知道美国是他们南面的邻居,     

加拿大人的态度与观念：关爱自然

加拿大人热爱广阔原野（每年有20％的加拿大人去野外宿营）,并且认为自己国家的自然风景世界顶级,无与伦比。加拿大90％以上的国土尚未开发,而加拿大人则很愿意维持现状。     

加拿大——儿童的天堂

在我赴加拿大探亲的第二天,儿子担心我用老办法去对待他的儿子,就请我细心观察加拿大人怎样对待孩子。于是,我仔细体察了加拿大人如何对待孩子的事。我了解到,加拿大家庭乃至全社会皆以孩子为中心, 认为孩子是世界的未来、人类的希望,比什么都重要。他们视孩子为重中之重,一切为了孩子。我从未发现与我们住同一公寓的左邻右舍以及社区中的加拿大人打骂过孩子,也没看到加拿大人有“训”“吼”     

加拿大人的态度与观念：淡泊虚荣

加拿大人朴实谦逊,甚至可以说是纯朴的;加拿大社会的等级分化程度比许多国家都低。虽然当着你的面,加拿大人可能抓住了一条更大的鱼,或是登上的山比你爬过的那座更高,或甚至杀死了一头更加凶猛的灰熊（当然是徒手杀死的）：但他们并不傲慢,觉得没什么可吹嘘的。     

I Love Pets

加拿大人对宠物的喜爱达到令人惊讶的程度,他们对待小狗、小猫、小鸟如同自己的子女,饿了喂食,病了看医生,可谓无微不至。让我们走进下文去感受一下加拿大人的“宠物情节”吧!     

漫谈加拿大人

加拿大是个移民国家,这里很多人的父辈都来自其他国家。加拿大人应当指所有加入加拿大国籍的人。不过我这篇文章中的加拿大人主要是指能够代表主流文化的那部分人。 我曾经从美国海关入境加拿大,发现两国海关工作人员的说话风格截然不同。这边的加拿大人开口谢

加拿大的教育改革

我用了几个月时间，到全周各地聆听人民的意见，聆听他们的忧虑和希望——对他们自己的忧虑和希望，对他们的家庭和对加拿大的忧虑和希望。这是一个多元化的国家．有着多种多样的观点和需要，但是有一条却是加拿大人共有的：他们深切地希望政府能回到基本原则上来并匡谬正俗。加拿大人要求政府关注那些与他们关系重大的问题。不要装腔作势，而要脚踏实地；不要只做华丽的许诺，而要有切实的改进。     

给孩子创设热爱读书的环境——来自加拿大的启示

前年我访问加拿大留下非常强烈的印象之一的就是,加拿大人不论男女老幼,都非常热爱读书,且这种热爱发自内心。西方人热爱运动是人所共知的,然而他们那么地热爱读书却是在我到那里之前所没有想到的。静下心来细细观察才发现,加拿大社会的发展、文明的提升都与全民的热爱读书是分     

教孩子学规矩

加拿大人教育孩子的观点与国人有些不同,他们并不要求孩子出人头地、成龙成凤;他们觉得,孩子的成功、成才是没有统一标准的,只要孩子喜欢,对社会和他人又没有危害,孩子的人生之路就是成功的。比如,我们楼道的清洁工就是一个讨人喜欢的小伙子。他每天开着车来收垃圾,高高兴兴地来,高高兴兴地去,月薪不错,给大家的印象也不错。加拿大人不会因为他是清     

加拿大原住民与非原住民的收入差异

从加拿大2001年的人口普查中抽取3％的样本数据,分析了原住民和非原住加拿大人之间工资和薪金的差异,发现注册印第安人、梅蒂斯人与非原住民的年收入和周薪在跨组和组内都有显著差异。这种差异在很大程度上是由于人口、人力资本、职业以及这三种人口的区域差异。     

Medical Assistance in Dying: Implications for Canadian Classrooms and the Academy

The recent passing of legislation decriminalizing medically assisted suicide was a landmark in Canadian history. Since the law’s passage, an average of four Canadians per day have chosen to die using medical assistance. With Canadians embracing this option of death, we argue that there will be moments in Canadian schools when this topic will be brought into the classrooms. In this paper, we outline how children view death both emotionally and conceptually, as well as how teachers can discuss death in their classrooms. The purpose is to provide a brief explanation of the law, an expiation of how children view death, and a framework for how teachers may be prepared to broach the topic when raised in their classrooms.     

The National Film Board of Canada's Computerised Film Booking System: A Strategy for the Future

The National Film Board is an agency of the Canadian Government which was created in 1939 to initiate and promote the production and distribution of films in the national interest, and in particular, films designed to interpret Canada to Canadians and to other countries.     

Canadian West Exploitation in the Context of American Threat of Annexation

America had been attempting to annex Canadian West and posed a threat to the security of the fledgling country. Therefore the antipathy towards America as well as independent-nation complex of Canadians drove Canadian government to incorporate the west exploitation into the national strategy of creating an independent country. Canadian west exploitation thus took on some distinctiveness.     

A comparative study of risk assessments and recommended interventions in Canada and Israel.

OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to examine how professionals assess children at risk and their parents, and decide on particular interventions. Specifically, we explored whether their assessments and decision-making are influenced by (1) the mother's degree of cooperativeness and/or (2) the country in which the worker lives (Canada or Israel). METHOD: Workers working in the child welfare field (N = 181) were presented with a case vignette and asked to assess the child and parents, and the degree of risk to the child, and make an intervention recommendation. The measures used in this study were based on previous work and field-tested in both countries. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between the two countries regarding workers' age and level of experience, with Canadians being older and more experienced than Israelis. Significant differences were also found between the two countries regarding the assessments of the child and parents and also of risk to the child, with Canadians assessing significantly more stringently than Israelis. The difference in levels of experience between the two countries did not explain these differences; however, it did influence intervention recommendations, only for those with 3 years or more of experience. Within this group, significantly more Canadians than Israelis recommended removing the child from the home. Regarding maternal cooperativeness, this factor did affect workers' assessments of the mother, but not of the father or child, or the worker's recommended intervention. Israelis' assessments were significantly more influenced by the mother's cooperativeness than Canadians'. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences were found between the Canadian and Israeli professionals in this study in both their assessments and their intervention recommendations. These appear to reflect the different social, cultural, and political contexts in which these professionals work, and underscores the value of cross-national comparative studies in child welfare.     

转盘游戏:加拿大全纳教育的认同与全纳氛围的构建

自1994年在西班牙召开的世界特殊教育大会上首次提出全纳教育后,加拿大经历了数十年的发展,致力于促进全加拿大人对全纳教育的认同和构建一个和谐的全纳氛围。加拿大每年一次的全纳教育周为各社区生活联合会提供了一个交流的平台,也有助于促进和唤起公众的全纳教育意识。转盘游戏现已成为全纳教育过程中的一个备受关注的焦点和亮点,另外也形成了以"六大网络"为核心的全纳教育行动纲要,它们相互联系、支持,共同在构建融合的全纳氛围和全纳教育认同方面凸显其重要性。     

加拿大华人中产阶层探析

加拿大华人中产阶层，主要由二战后移居到加拿大的技术移民和在加拿大出生的华裔技术人员组成。该阶层产生于20世纪70年代。他们有其独特的特征，他们的劳动力价格及年均收入低于其他加拿大人。近年来，华人中产阶层在加拿大社会中的形象及地位大大改观。     

Canadian National Identity and Anti-Americanism

Canadian national identity is closely related to antiAmericanism and for Canadians,comparing with America has become the main way to identify themselves.So some scholars argue that Canada lacks a real national identity and this is the main reason of its anti-American tradition.However,the author remarks Canada has its national identity.In this paper,the author will present three reasons to support her view.     

加拿大人的休闲生活：雪地运动天下无双

由于加拿大人幸运地拥有丰富的雪资源,他们发明、学会或是改进了一切与雪有关的运动,不论这种运动是在雪面上、雪面下、雪周围,还是在雪堆里进行的。孩子们会拖着带座雪橇、平底雪橇,甚至是纸板箱,高高兴兴地花费几个小时跑上山头,就是为了能再从那儿滑下来。
