Part A: Reflection
In this unit I learned that transnational corporations, outsource jobs to countries for lower wages.
I found it really interesting that Bill 101 was created in order to preserve the Francophone linguistic identity.
I can connect what have learned in class to me as a Canadian Citizen because i assimilated my culture, and Canadian culture, and how I live in a multi-cultural and bilingual society.
What surprised me this unit was the CRTC created laws so that Canadian music is kept and heard in Canada so we don't just have American music in the radio.
One concept that I am still having difficulty with is pluralist mostly because I'm not sure what it means.
One question I still have is why do immigrants have to speak French just to immigrate into Quebec.
One skill or learning strategy I found helpful was the word wheel. If I was to teach someone how to use this I would tell them to first have 8 words in the middle Then connect the words to each other around a circle with 8 boxes next write how they would connect to each other Finally its done. This will help them remember what connects to what and if you don’t know what something might mean u can just connect them to something else.
Part B: Economic Globalization
Outsourcing is when a Company sends someone to another country to educate them to do there jobs.
Transnational companies outsource to make more profit. the advantages of this is that people in other country's learn new things and companies pay lower wages so they make more profit. Disadvantages are that your jobs are outsourced so you have no job and the people that work for these companies get little pay.
Part C: Globalization and Identity
The source is saying that they don't need the government to help them protect there language. Bill 101 is a law created by the government to encourage the Francophone linguistic identity. They passed this law so that the French language would expand.
Argument in favour of this is that the French language will be persevered and in crease the number of Francophone's. Arguments against is that immigrants have to learn French in order to immigrate into Canada when so may want to speak English.
In my opinion i agree with the statement that the government didn't have to get involved. In some ways i agree that the government should be involved because Quebec wants to separate from Canada, and Bill 101 is encouraging them to stay. This relates to globalization by linguistic identity, how the Government is trying to protect the French linguistic identity.
