A Slap in the face of every Canadian Meet Lizabell
In Margaret Philp’s article A Slap in the Face of Every Canadian, she talks about high suicide rate among First Nation young adults in Northwestern Ontario. Furthermore, Ms. Philp’s explained about the extreme poverty, poor living conditions and abuse especially among young people. Canadians must do our part to help First Nation living right here at home, with better living conditions.
Ms. Philps explains that there are several reasons why the suicide rate is so high among First Nation young adults. Extreme poverty has caused a sense of hopelessness in young adults. Parents are unable to work, social supports do not provide enough for the family to live on. There is not enough subsidized housing available, funding isn’t adequate for safe and decent housing. Unfortunately there are not enough community centres, organized sports or clubs for teens. She continued to say that there is not enough access to healthcare providers, or facilities to educate young people on how to deal with depression, anxiety and grief. Most of the young adults have experienced a significant amount of trauma from losing their loved ones through suicide. Therefore, they turn to drugs, like cocaine, alcohol and other dangerous chemicals.
Parents are scared to discipline the children fearing that they might commit suicide. Also, young adults think that they have a lack of privacy, so they refuse to talk to someone about their problems, because they feel they are being sabotaged by their problems and are treated with no dignity. They don’t feel comfortable talking to councillors in a room full of complete strangers.
As Canadians, there is more that we can do to reduce the catastrophe of the lives of the first Nations people. Canada is a great country which has helped many third world countries in difficult times, and we can take action now by investing some of those big cheques we donate to other countries, right here at home. By providing better living conditions to the First Nations, similar to that of the middle class. The government
Each sample collection was washed to extract hydrocarbons for analysis qualitatively and quantitatively via Ultraviolet/Visible Spectroscopy (UV/Vis) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), respectively. Data collected from UV/Vis showed absorbance peaks in the 200400 nm range which is indicative of the presence of polyaromatic hydrocarbon compounds. GC/MS data indicated the presence of Icosane (Eicosane), which is a petroleum derived fuel and TPPO, a polyaromatic compound commonly found in fertilizers. Introduction…

treatment, the nurse’s beliefs with good moral reasoning, will guide the nurse’s actions even when his/her beliefs are challenged by others. In the case study with Ms. Martha, the roles that were assumed and contributed to her needs would be closely related to what a community or public health nurse would prioritize as essential needs for Ms. Martha. Her need for health care insurance will be provided by Medicaid and Medicare. She will be eligible based on her age, low-income status, and medical problems…

Lisa Ms. Conroy E block 6/4/12 The Effects of Global Warming Global warming is when the Earth heats up.

This hurts us, animals, and plants. Carbon dioxide is produced through respiration and photosynthesis, but when there is too much carbon dioxide, like when produced through the burning of fossil fuels; deforestation starts…
Eminent Domain: Public Use or Abuse? The urban economy has become increasingly competitive. As a result, economic development projects have made priority on the agenda in many cities.

Urban Phillips Intro to Sociology Ms. Johnson 9:30 – 10:45 In my opinion, it is not acceptable for teachers to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. There are people in law enforcement that are especially trained to handle a situation if a concealed weapon is in fact necessary. A teacher’s primary goal is to teach students. If there is just cause for a teacher to have to bear arms, other agencies should be involve. It should not be solely up to teacher to protect these students. I feel that if…
