  • The Importance Of Being Canadian

    1852 Words  | 4 Pages

    To me, travelling and going on road trips are my favourites things to do during summer with my friends. It’s a time to unwind, and the best time to go is right when school is over, so you can forget all those exams you wrote and just relax. Canada is known for it’s naturistic locations, and in fact as stated in lecture; many Canadians think of physical landscapes as central to their identity as Canadians” (Mackintosh, 2017, Week 5, Slide 1). I think this is because Canada is known to have some of the most beautiful places on Earth, and yes other people can argue the opposite, that there are much nicer places out there, but I have travelled quite a lot, and a few places are; Argentina, Sweden, Australia and even France, and I can honestly say that Canada still has some of the most beautiful places. The reason I think this is because of social geography which is defined as, the study of social processes as they are constituted in and by the spaces and places in which they occur (Mackintosh, 2017, Week 7, Slide 4). For me, the locations also have to do with the people who live there and the places that my friends and I travelled to, the people in each city recognized that we were tourist, and they were so friendly about that. They took us on tours to see the latest attractions, they helped us out with the language, (some places spoke French) and some even took their time to explain in general about their daily lifestyles, their beliefs in religion (social factors) and only because we were interested in knowing and the fact that they didn’t mind at all. This just made the experience much better, knowing that wherever you go in Canada, there are those people who are willing to help this much (this is in my view, from my experience, and in the other countries people were not as nice to help out, not even

  • Canadian Social Activities

    Canada, at first, may seem like a thoroughly, uncaptivating country to explore if your home-country is America. Since the two countries are practically relatives, due to their proximity, they have many similarities. For instance, they both speak English, are geographically vast in land placement, and they have similar measures of diversity. However, one of the more noticeable differences between America and Canada are their social and cultural activities. Canadians social activities are very specific to Canada due to a variety of diversity that melds together into its own cultural topic. Canadians are mainly known for their unique accent, which comes from their culturally diverse history.

  • Role Of Zoos

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    What about zoos in other regions of the world? This question is a good one; as it applies to regional views. Zoos all over the world have different rules; for visitors and their animals, depending on who and where they are located. China has a main focus on saving their giant pandas from extinction; note they are vulnerable, but can end up endangered once more. Some zoos run on donations; Cheyenne Mountain zoo and Dartmoor zoo, while others are federally paid; Denver zoo. Each zoo has a mascot to be the main view; Cheyenne mountain has a giraffe, Denver has a lion, Australia zoo has a crocodile, but under that mascot are other animals branched out. This means that no zoo is a like; they may have the same animals, but their rules and lifestyle are entirely different.

  • Zoo's Efforts to Help Conservation

    1303 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since approximately 1250 B.C., ancient Egyptians had created and practiced the capture and display of animals in what are now known as zoos (Fravel). Records describe such exotic animals as birds, lions, giraffes, and tigers in captivity (Fravel). Since then, zoos have continued to entertain millions with the exciting chance to view exotic animals up close and personal. Even in ancient Greece, exotic animals were on display in fighting arenas, and in enclosed viewing areas. Originally in America, zoos were just created so that royalty and the wealthy could flaunt their exotic animals to the public (Leolupus). Today, with species threatened and habitats disappearing worldwide, zoos are serving a new purpose other than the mere exhibition of animals – conservation. (Fravel). When you think of a zoo, you either think of a fun, entertaining place that provides close-up and exciting exhibits of wild animals that you would otherwise never get the chance to see, or a place where people keep suffering, unhappy animals captive just for entertainment and display. However, despite whichever view you hold, and despite the stereotypes, some zoos have evolved to serve alternative and helpful purposes. Although some zoos face controversy due to allegations such as lack of space and quality care, neglect, and cruelty, some zoos have programs specifically designed to help and protect animal species. For example, these zoos have programs that help such conservation efforts as breeding.
