Three Topic From The Book The Composition Of Everyday Life
Three Topic From The Book The Composition Of Everyday Life
This paper looks at three topics from the book, “The Composition of Everyday Life.” The topics include the Floppy Disk Fallacies, the American Consumerism, and Dog Delusion. The paper reviews the three topics by discussing what each one entails. In the Floppy Disk Fallacies, the Elizabeth Bohnhorst brings out her opinion to replace traditional methods used to teach younger grades using new technologies, specifically the computer technology. She suggests the use of the new computer technology in learning but recommends that books should be utilized alongside the newly established teaching technology. Books and other traditional methods of teaching and learning are very critical especially to the lower grade levels like the K-6. Students at this level can hardly rely on computers entirely since the complete adoption of computer technology in learning could damage the learning experience and creativity of children. Students need to be given a chance to learn basic fundamentals, which are only possible on using books and other traditional methods. This should been ensured despite the fact that computers are increasing their popularity in the society and in learning. She has a great fear that computers may completely take over the traditional system of learning in many countries like America.
In the Dog Delusion, Pederson talks of a time when the dog was his ‘co-pilot’. The article seems to talk of raising one’s status to a point where no one in the typical society would have imagined. The dog, of all people or creatures, is elevated to the point of being a co-pilot. This seems too funny to many people. This was perhaps a time when people hardly imagined that pets could be very critical to human life. This trend has been changing from the recent past. Pets, especially dogs, have increased in their importance to human life, an aspect that has even contributed to the publication of books and magazines about their culture. Such publications could involve the lives of dogs or other pets and their lives with human beings. Pets’ popularity comes due to the growing practice and culture of humans to take them a part of their friendships and social lives. Unlike sometimes in the past where some pets like dogs where considered harmful, dogs have completely turned out to be best friends and harmless creature. They are best taken for accompaniment, security, and other social benefits among being an aspect of beauty.
In the case of the American Consumerism, Jamie Bentley talks much on economic aspects in life. The author sees some values in redirecting attention to certain aspects in economic issues. The author’s work is mainly a response to the work of Simon Benlow, who on the other hand talked about an apology to the future generations. Bentley supports the idea that consumerism as a culture has much harmful effects on the environment. Such effects could in turn be transferred to the future generations. The author also talks about the many harms that consumerism has on the American society at large. The American culture is considered to have great and documented obsession with high consumption of things. She supports that the harm posed to the future generations is almost irreparable. Other than harming the environment, the American consumerism culture is also causing economic problems to individuals. The author suggests that Americans can only save their society and the future generations by reducing their materialistic practices. She concludes that materialism undermines families and therefore this practice should stop or could be minimized.

Three paths open to Canadians at the turn of the twentieth century
Three paths open to Canadians at the turn of the twentieth century
During the twentieth century, Canada went through many issues in an attempt to become as it is today. There were three distinct paths that Canadians went through, and they were Nationalism, Imperialism and Continentalism. Most Canadian leaders wanted to find ways in order to bring about economic prosperity. The latter took place during Wilfrid Laurier’s leadership, as the twentieth century began. In turn, many people migrated to Canada; there was the creation of new provinces, railways were built, as well as many people migrated to Canada. Liberals believed that, as a result of the 1911 Reciprocity Treaty, they would win the elections. Laurier was a defender of all matters that concerned liberalism, and he wanted to ensure that Canada became united. Canadians were happy with the work done by liberals and supported Laurier’s government. Laurier came up with tariffs, which improved the economy of Canada. In the year 1896, gold was discovered in Klondike. Many lucky people enriched themselves while others did not benefit in any way. Also, Dawson City grew significantly to become one of Canada’s largest cities.
A problem concerning slow population growth existed in Canada, especially during the confederation period. Immigrants preferred settling in the United States as the level of development was extremely high. Furthermore, Canadians were enticed by the presence of industrial jobs, conducive climate, as well as frontier lands in America. Clifford Sifton, the Canadian interior minister, came up with a plan to attract immigrants from Eastern Europe. Rivalry existed between French speaking and English speaking Canadians. Religion in Canada took a different turn after the settlement of groups such as the Mormons. Other settlers were from countries such as France, Ukraine, China, Britain, among others. It had reached a point whereby, the original Canadian settlers were not welcoming to Englishmen. Canada was affected by the rivalry that existed between Great Britain and Germany. In the year 1911, elections were held, and Laurier was thrown out, and Borden came into power. The business community that dealt in anti-free-trade, as well as Quebec nationalists, supported Borden. They wanted a president who would serve the needs of the conservatives. In the year 1914, there was a demonstration by some immigrants who wanted their needs catered to. Indeed, times were changing, and the government became aware of the immigrants power.
It would take a long time before the relationships, which Canadians had, with the state would change. This included elements such as races, gender, territories, as well as provinces. During the new regime, Canadians were on their way towards attaining continentalism. Furthermore, they had to find ways of adapting to the regime that existed. Many acts existed, and they sort to improve the economy of Canada. Some of these acts included the Citizenship Act and the Franchise Act. The acts lead to problems concerning the true Canadian identity, as most people were divided. Also, it led to discrimination among the Canadian people as minorities such as the poor and women were discriminated against. For example, Indians were not allowed to settle in the province of Nova Scotia. There was extreme resistance against white people belonging to the middle class. People believed that the latter carried out practices that were unfair, and mostly in matters concerning employment.
As the formation of the first nations took place, it became evident that women were being excluded from many activities. A community that is national had to be formed, as this sort of franchise never existed in the nineteenth century. Those in authority were now aware of how they were treating those under them. Ways had to be found in order to ensure that discrimination did not exist in Canada. Politicians did not do anything to addresses the plight of women and instead opted for less meaningful issues. As opposed to matters that concerned race, most people sympathized with the women. It is during the debates that took place in the year 1895 that matters concerning Asian and Indian enfranchisement existed. During the nineteenth century, suffrage of white manhood prevailed, and it ended in 1919. Women now had the right to vote, to be elected, as well as have a franchise. In fact, in 1940, security of a provincial bastion occurred, and this proved that women and men were the same. As the years progressed, till the year 1960, more developments took place in Canada.
No one ever dared to contest the authority of males who were elite settlers. In rare instances, Asian Canadians, First Nations, and settler women’s issues were addressed in the House of Commons. The debates, which took place in 1895, addressed vital issues such as human equality, emancipations and sexism. As Canada developed many people witnessed its unique transformation. In conclusion, many achievements took place in Canada during the twentieth century. Progress was made by various people who had ideals such as Nationalism, Imperialism and Continentalism. Indeed, Canada is a country with unique people who have evolved and now have similar political ideals.
