Canadian Identity Blog Post

What I learned in social studies this trimester is why diversity is important. In addition, we learned about Canadian symbols and international organizations that help solve global problems.

Canada is diverse because of the different landscapes, the types of people, and also because of the territories and provinces. Each province has its own customs and traditions.

When I think about Canada, the symbols that come to mind are the Canadian flag and maple leaf. 

I created a project about the medicine wheel. I learned that each of the four directions of the medicine wheel represents something. East represents fire, North represents air, South represents water and West represents the world. In addition, I learned that it came from the Canadian natives and I also learned that it has 4 colors.

We also learned about international organizations. These organizations are important because they promote democratic values and are committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes.  Our group researched NATO. NATO safeguards the security and freedom of all its members.
