Introduction
There are numerous legal issues that are to be addressed by the people of Canada as well as its government, freedom and fairness being among. The word “freedom” has however been perceived and given various notations by different people. “Fairness” on the other hand has been self –defined as every Canadian has different meanings of being fair. The two words “freedom” and “fairness” hence have a huge margin in the meanings from various perspectives but Rawls gives his view of justice as fairness. This is from the political perspective. From this political point of view, the meaning of justice according to him is equality and fairness. The two terms (freedom and fairness) however are interlinked with law. We can hence say that the three terms, justice, freedom, fairness, have nearly equal meaning but law is divergent as it comprises of all.
Freedom and fairness in Canada
Law and freedom have various limits and are perceived differently from various people and scholars in Canada. The laws differ in magnitudes and forms (oral and written). One law may mean one thing in one country and another in different country. Joshi 2003 similarly gives the clarification of justice as fairness. He says, “There is a general presumption against imposing legal and other restrictions on the conduct without specific reason.” But this presumption creates no special priority for any particular liberty” (Reeve 2006: p111). Justice and freedom means to give each person what he /she deserves and it means treating all people equally without favor of any. The two terms (Reeve 2006: p111), further mean to giving fair judgment without reference to anyone’s attention or feelings. This is what should be employed in Canada. The correct and more relevant meaning will be found when every Canadian understands the magnitude and true meaning of fairness (Reeve, 2006: pp 112).
In the same manner, according to Mann the term “fairness” has been used to refer to the equal considerations in making of judgments (Mann, 2002: pg 35). In both terms “fairness” and “freedom”, a notion of desert is crucial. Rawls (2001: pp 19) has stepped forward to illustrate that the only method of fighting injustice and unfairness is to be just and fair. We should not adopt retaliatory moves that promote or exhibit ‘an eye for an eye’ ideology. Though at times natural biasness is mandatory, but Canadians and any other person should be careful and considerate in handling other people even if they are not their close relatives. The Canadian law like other laws gives equal consideration to all people (Joshi, 2008: pp 16). With fairness and justice, the whole world and Canada would be transited and changed from the world of hatred to love, from unfriendly to friendly, biasness to uniformity among others. The unity of all people regardless of the background and the interest would thus be achieved (Joshi, 2008: pp 14). The hidden and the things that are ranked as the impossible would be possible. The qualities such as love, peace, faith, unity through this method would be revealed and would be more relevant in Canada. Scholars say, “Ethics is the way and there is no way to ethics”. Canadians should be fair, just, and good to other people in our judgments as they would have judged us as Canadian law illustrates. This is what Rawls had to support. It comprises of the conception of the value in the lives on human beings. It also comprises of the ideals of the friendship and friendly associations when dealing with each other (Mann, 2002: Pp 46).
The Canadian Human Right Act and freedoms secures the freedoms and rights of all Canadian citizens. It does so in extents as the law states. The issues regarding the rights of human have been perceived differently by various Canadian and scholars though. The divergence in meanings has thus resulted. Moreover, some have been mistreated due to ignorance of the law. In the past, various organizations have been made in Canada to address this issue of human Rights and they have various functions in the globe of Human Rights. All people living in Canada have to be protected and informed of their rights as beings and thus the main function of such organizations. The UDHR shapes and says, “All people are born free, similar in their self-esteem, freedom and rights” (UNDHR 2010). It organization further gives emphasis by stating that all human beings should be unrestricted to all rights and should be free from the discriminations that are based on color, sex, race, religion and such related issues (Zola, 2002: pp 27). The principles further help in the consequence of bearing the heavy weight of biased ruling in Canada. There should be constant consistency across authorities (UNDHR 2010). The comprehension of freedoms and rights in maintaining Canada’s home and intercontinental lawful obligations is in place. The laws also aid in reducing the chances that a person may think unfairly and opt to use the dictatorship in ruling people (Canadians and the people in Canada). The principles help to protect the weak against the pressure that might be put on them and restrains the political leaders from using excessive power on the ruled. The people considered powerful should see to it that the weights of the judgments they give to others have limits, appropriate and dependent on the crime committed or correction being imposed. They give others the freedom to worship even if they differ in their views (Parsons, 2007: p 83).
There are various principles acknowledged by the Canadian Law in an attempt to give the meaning of justice and Human Rights. They are considered the principles of justice. Freedom of religion and freedom of conscience, belief, thought, expression, opinion, association and peaceful assemblies are some of the major principles governed by the Canadian law. The concepts of a good citizen are governed by these principles. The laws are given in Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. The issue that the community takes the projects that requires giving one person more authority than the other is objected and punishable according to the law. This is considered injustice. The Canadian laws regarding freedom and fairness do become reasonable only if one can view others as being free and equal to them. These principles are meant to give fair conditions of social collaboration. They are to agree on those terms so as they can be fair to each other even at the cost of their individual interests in the given field as long as the terms are accepted by all. This should be done with a lot of freeness and happiness and not when under pressure (Mann, 2002: Pp 43-46).
It is the role of every Canadian citizen to discourage at all costs ethnic or religious revulsion that stimulus to violence, favoritism and enmity. The unequal rating of people has extended its wings to the underrating of Women’ Rights in Canada. This is why organization such as NWAC was formed. The organization has primarily involved itself with the fight for Native females to emphasize their rights as other beings in Canada. It emphasizes on gender and equality (Zola, 2002: pp 24).
Over the past, Canada has established a worldwide reputation for giving support to human rights as well as encouraging the expansion of latest global human rights gadgets.
However, at present Canada is making a reputation for creating governmental, strategy, and budgetary options and they are aimed at decreasing the human rights of Canadian’s. The other upcoming issue is that the country should give consideration to the emerging poverty of the underprivileged people. This will assist and will reduce biasness as all the people are to be considered equal (Rawls, 2001).
It is therefore vital that such organizations like Human Right treaty be implemented. The law will recognize the overlapping regions of human rights. The various global bodies which have been monitoring the performance of Canada have gotten that such areas need amendment. This was after they realized that failures on Canadian’s part were serious and it had not satisfied the obligations regarding the right of people who are living in Canada.
The other organization that was formed was CERA. It is Ontario-based, a not-for-profit organization that emerged in late 1980s. The major function was to boost the rights of Canadians and eliminate the barriers that deprive the undervalued from obtaining their requirement as far as the housing are concerned (Mann, 2002: Pp 43-46).
Conclusion
When all the amendments would have been done, the country would be satisfactory that its performance would boost as regarding human rights. Some of the aims with which the organization was formed were to; uphold enforcement and understanding of human rights in accommodation amongst marginalized people, give learning equipments and programs on human rights in accommodation to people whose freedoms were violated, and house owners among other people. The other sectors should also be given firm strength. The lope-holes that other people take to underrate others thus will be reduced (Zola, 2002: pp 119- 126).
In a nut shell, all human beings are equal and should be considered so. If we have one creator then all were created with equally, live the same way and should be considered as been equal. This is the policy that the government and all people of Canada should have and utilize. The elements of racism and discrimination will thus be things of the past in Canada. Canada will be a free country where the rich and the poor will have similar opportunities, the disabled and the well equal job chances among other unmentioned benefits. This will be more easy and comprehensive when such organizations like, CERA, NWAC, UDHR are empowered by the government. This is because all the aspects of human right will be considered (Joshi, 2008: Pp 12-14). It is therefore absolutely significant that all the people that are presently living in Canada to perceive the law as intended. People of Canada should have all the freedom and handled fairly in all aspects. Freedom and fairness for all should be the policy in Canada (Reeve, 2006: pp 45).

Undocumented Americans
Undocumented Americans have been on the increase over the years and even though it is seen as a threat to the united states, to some extent it is not a threat as people only try to find the most favorable conditions for them to live in. however this search is not always the point of interest to the policymakers as they strictly state that immigrants should not be allowed which the public a time takes with good faith and other times it takes it with no interest since some of the politicians just state these issues for personal gain and popularity. An example is that of former President Trump. He was so much against immigration especially from Mexico that he began building a wall to separate the two countries and allow no immigration. Undocumented Americans is a work by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio which talks of the very same issue of immigration into the United States. Villavicencio talks of how heartbreaking it is to be an immigrant in the United States of America. She tells of her story and how she became an immigrant alongside her fellow immigrants, the difficulties they faced, and how uneasy it was for them to fully gain freedom.
It is therefore kind of a memoir explaining her experience during the years when she was an immigrant. Her stories reflect the true nature immigrants experience and how they later become citizens. She also acknowledges that immigrants do nothing wrong but it is the system that does not allow them to be who they wish to be and be successful in their pursuit of peace. As she states “I attempt to write from a place of shared trauma, shared memories, shared pain. This is a snapshot in time, a high energy imaging of a trauma brain”, she has gone through a lot (Villavicencio, 03). This is the same even for the other immigrants. She also states that she “wanted to tell the stories of people who work as day laborers, housekeepers, construction workers, dog walkers, deliverymen, people who don’t inspire hashtags or T-shirts”, this she hoped to help her suffering fellows to regain sight of their hope and be better(Villavicencio, 04). Therefore this book is an inspiration to many and it is great to work when one needs to understand what it means to be an immigrant. This paper, therefore, focuses on this book and how Villavicencio brings out the information in the book. This paper looks at pathos, logos, and ethos as rhetorical strategies used by the author in the presentation of her work.
Karla Cornejo Villavicencio writes the book from a personal experience therefore it is more of a memoir or a retelling of her experience. She firmly believes to be the first undocumented immigrant to graduate from Harvard University. She tells of how her parents, who were also undocumented, lived in fear of eviction every moment. She mainly uses pathos in her writing to convince the audience of her journey. It is mainly seen as she talks of how her use of fake names worked among her group of immigrants, how they worked on the rich avenues to get something to eat and how some even died as they worked. However, she strongly states how difficult it was for her group of immigrants to endure if one of them was caught and had to be deported. The first chapter is the most moving in where she talks of how Joaquin crosses the desert 4 times and other stories which draw very much on the emotions to bring out a persuasive concept. This book is therefore a very realistic and at the same time a very persuasive one as she also employs logos and ethos which will be discussed below.
The novel employs a lot of logos in so many different instances as she tells her story. For example, when she talks of her experience with her parents on page 53, it is clear that she is using logos to convince the world of what the parents believed. for example, she did not give out her results to her parents because she knew even though they wanted to appreciate her it was not possible to do this. After all, they were not financially capable. However on the other hand her dad loved her so much and when he saw the results slip he had to take her for a ride. During the ride, his father tells him how much he tries to make ends meet and he even tells her how much she earns. This means that his father is trying to impart cognitive knowledge that a person does not always get what they want but even with that they have to keep trying and becoming better because they have to work.
On the other hand, her mum asks her who the first person on the moon was. Her mother knew that she knew that it was Neil Armstrong. However upon asking her the second person on the moon she froze and told her that she did not know (Villavicencio, 53). On hearing this her mother told her that she must be number one because no one notices number 2. Therefore it is a cognitive-based novel as well whereby she is given hard choices and she is convinced that it is only because of doing her best that she wins and becomes a better person.
She also uses ethos in her persuasion to make people feel the importance of valuing immigrants. The fact that she is the author and that she has gone through the experience she talks about makes it very difficult for anyone to be unable to appreciate and value her work. The many years of being treated in the wrong way are brought out so clearly that it is very evident that her story is a true one. However, her experience even though filled with pain and many negative issues at some points was worth living and she had fun with her friends. This means that her story is real and the fact that she went through real dangers of immigration she had to write every little piece of pain and hurt and laughter and love. For example, her friend had received the news “that his request for a stay was denied by local immigration authorities”. This meant that her experiences even though difficult together with her friends are told from first hand and they can be believed as she says at the beginning of the book that she was not writing for people to be happy.
Pathos is the majorly used persuasive technique in her novel. First of all, she talks of how they used to overwork and some died as they worked. This is an example of emotion since overworking individuals who do not even know if they have a future and a tomorrow makes it a difficult part of their lives to look after one another since they are never sure of when or how they will finish up their lives look like. For Villavicencio, there was no surety that she was to study in Havard and she only kept doing her best. He knew he was not leaving this basement tonight. He couldn’t get himself anywhere. “No one would want him. They’d given up on him long ago. He had kids in Mexico. They’d be orphans. His heart raced. His hands became moist. Stroking the squirrel kept him calm as the basement filled with water” (Villavicencio, 60). This explains pathos as the passage is full of emotions and it is difficult to manage as the environment as explained is dangerous.
Therefore this novel is one whose main idea is to create a kind of faith in the future of the immigrants, however, at the same time the immigrants do not get what they need instantly and therefore their suffering continues and it is difficult for them to understand the reasons to their suffering except for a few. The immigrants keep on working and supporting each other through all they can.
In conclusion, this novel is very persuasive as it tells the truth about the experiences of Villavicencio and how her experiences shaped her later in life until she was able to graduate from Harvard University. It also tells the story of other people related to her and how their impact on her life was important as well as how she also impacted them. It is a story of the journey of being immigrants with no documentation and the positive and negative issues which came up as a result of the struggle to live without documents.

Argumentative Essay on Social Media
Introduction;
Social media is the smart innovations interceded by computers that promote the development and exchanging of data, opinions, career goals and various types of expression via digital channels and structures. The variety of remaining quiet and underlying internet-complex life advantages as available now portrays implication challenges; however, there are a few many highlights that may include internet-based applications. For instance, product posts or comments, computer-aided photos or transcriptions, and data generated through any electronic communication is the soul of the internet-based life.
Thesis; This essay tries to explain to those that do not know friendly communities on the web. At present, it is attempting to discover somebody who doesn’t know about the presence of these, regardless of whether individuals who don’t utilize them, the vast majority of them are with regards to what they are and for what they serve these systems. To characterize what an informal community is inside the web, it is advantageous to separate the terms that create it and in this way can come to a more clear idea of what does it mean. Next, we will investigate these terms one by one and connect them so that we can touch base at a suitable definition.
How media influences the use of social networks;
This leads us to the definition of a network which is a set of components sorted out for a particular reason. With the idea above we can give the possibility that a system does not just include a lot of individuals or specific articles however can be made out of a few unique components that assembled they satisfy an end that is endowed to them, for which they should arrange themselves helpful way. (Jenny Force, Vp Marketing, 2016), There are a few kinds of systems relying upon the setting inside which we find, yet for the present, will just concentrate on its definition all in all, since it wouldn’t we like to make tracks in the opposite direction from the subject, and this will be sufficient to have the capacity to expand the definition later.
Social can be defined as having a place with or identifying with society. It is also understood by society as the arrangement of people who share a similar culture and who associate among themselves to frame a network. Many people use online life these days, such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, etc. (Dave Parrack, Pg. 35-40, 2017) Due to the rapid proliferation of the Internet, online presence has advanced a lot. The web’s speculation tends to make us live rapidly and helpfully.
In particular, it is crucial for us to recognize and help guide the use of exuberant youth online life. As a top-notch issue, digital experience, particularly Facebook, is incredibly dependent. People would assert that drug or alcohol is much more heavily dependent than life-based on the web or the tendency to live online is not large issues, as it is not significant as it may be.
Additionally, they have been contacted to assess each yearning on a scale from mellow to “powerful.” In light of these certainties, online networking undoubtedly makes addicts, and it’s hard to get away. The issue is the vast majority who have a web-based networking media reliance and don’t understand it. Second, people can successfully get physically and mentally disorders through usefulness.
Most people may imagine that electronic interpersonal interaction isn’t had any effect with the messes. They fought the electronic life is valuable for mental infirmities since online life help conveys their feelings or thought viable. (Maryann, 2018) In like manner, through online long range interpersonal communication, they can be related more. Nevertheless, online life offers limited assembling. They meet on locales, not a physical encounter. Investigator, Aric Sigman proposes.
“Contributing a ton of vitality online could incite social imprisonment, sadness, and a negative viewpoint. These sorts of mental appearances could, over the long haul, lead to progressively real prosperity worries, for instance, coronary sickness, malady, and dementia.” Using online life chafes make a significant relationship with others. When they are using an online element, we don’t need to move a lot. It is okay to remain. We don’t need to act a lot. Therefore, it generally drives to mental and physical disarranges. Third, electronic life doesn’t help with their examinations or endowments.
How social media is taking over the world;
Individuals will generally think that online life is amazing spots to show what they have done about their abilities or works. They can share video cut, for example, what they play the instruments or move or sing. It is, in any case, unbelievable for people to do those successfully. If you’re terrible about these things and you’re contributing the vitality to live online, it’s hard to propel your endowments. (Redbrick, 2015) I reviewed the associations between web-based life and last-semester reflection. It is not valuable to look at most understudies that have tended to use internet organization.
Also, graduates that have an average evaluation contribute only a little vitality to the use of online life. Using web-based system management recognizes your door wide open to what needed to be done correctly. When you don’t center, your time is long gone incredibly quickly, and you can’t get it back. If rather than using web-based life, you read books, think about, work out, deal with singing, moving or playing the instruments, it would be improved entirely for you and your future life. The exuberant age and children are not trying to be displayed in conditions using web-style system administration for the most part.
For the most part, web-based life is cherished by nearby young people or youth as well as being created by working people and by the elderly. Online long-range interpersonal communication propensity is stable where everyone is autonomously marked on it that they have worked or have nothing to wrap up.( renewinknowledge, 2018) Social media is rightly considered an obsession where different people have advanced to become addicts every day. The mental and physical disease may occur, and you may be influenced by lounging around inactively. That is why we need to grasp and direct young children’s use of web-based life.
It’s not just misleading online life; however, it’s similarly immaterial. A lot of posts are superfluous and insignificant to our world other than the news part of the goals. As time goes on, the kind of information “Becky just got another vehicle inside” is inconsistent. (Western eye, 2012) In his Buying into Big Brother article on web-based life, Nicholas Wapshott says, “We may have empathy for the blockhead understudy who uses contributions on Twitter or posts a picture of himself holding a joint at a social opportunity to find out when he’s looking for a livelihood that an HR office trawl has made him unemployable.”
Web-based life has been created to help individuals take care of associations, arrange and obtain data. As of late, almost everyone has a record on a person-to-person communication site somewhere around. Indeed, even people who want to see multiple “companions”‘ musings and feelings end up making accounts. This is because in our fast-paced, propelling universe of innovation; no one needs to be deserted. Standard Prosperity magazine reports that a child contributing greater external essentialness is typically an undeniably lively and precious child on bits of information.(Chomwa Shikati, 2017) Nevertheless, since 2000, young people have been investing energy outside, causing more prominent weakening and lengthening.
It can be unusually troublesome to escape online life. Especially in a situation where it was used step by step and progressed within seven days. It’s an extraordinarily testing errand, yet as time goes on, you’re not going to have to worry about wasting your time, fake acknowledgment, and more!(Khawaja Taha, 2016) Encouraging young people and partners to bring less vitality to online life and mixing extra time can make a real difference in improving things.
Impacts of Social Media;
Positive Impacts;
There are other social locations such as YouTube that provide customers with a phase of chronicles exchange and sharing. Customers post their chronicles here for different customers to see. For artisans and film producers, YouTube has been an exceptional stage as their fans can access their music accounts without much stretching. Also, other social goals such as My Space have given customers the opportunity to post chronicles on their profiles. Such purposes allow essential access to histories such as music, sports, documentaries, and movies. This is the best station for professionals and film creators to channel their work and through this, when watchers visit and take a gander in their work, they get paid for it.
Social web-based networking has reduced any use of verbal correspondence and expanded any use of online consulting services. People can nowadays have phone dialogs on their PCs. For example, Skype has engaged in this by advancing social goals. Here, related people will grant by catching the discussions of individuals. This is not at all like Facebook and Twitter whereby fertilizing the soil, the strategy for correspondence is. (Garima Kakkar, 2018) For their supporters, most social destinations have now joined webcams. Webcams engage’ buddies’ in having one dialog while watching each other meanwhile. This correspondence is gradually private and incredibly supportive as endorsers are given the opportunity to see each other. Webcam dialogs contained an extension of acclaim.
It is essential to understand that the space of correspondence changes builds up as electronic long-range informal communication. The mechanical progress that has been added to online life changes how we talk step by step with people. It has made correspondence faster and more compelling logically. (Jenny Q.Ta, 2014) Online life goals such as Facebook send the sidekick birthday occasions step by step notice. You can type your birthday invitation on their page instead of getting the phone and usually wishing someone a birthday welcome. This has discarded the need for a phone call or a valued card to be sent.
In some style, almost every young and old uses electronic life. Twitter is a prominent social stage for acclaimed people. I watch the news a lot of time, and there’s a record of what some star tweeted to their fans or a variety of well-known people. Using web-based organization life and mechanisms has elevated correspondence to a higher level. It has helped web-based people in social association, organizations, sacred places, and contact with individuals where they were unable to achieve ahead of time. It’s even been used with President Obama using Twitter in authoritative issues to refresh Americans as frequently as possible about what is happening in the organization.
Negative Impacts;
The adverse effects on correspondence from web-based social networking are the effect it can have on young people through cyberbullying and bothering presentation. Mass communication is being used by increasingly energetic people without understanding the results. (The Valais, 2012). There have also been circumstances where teenagers have completed everything as the disrupted result of unfavorable things posted on them on the web, privacy settings are open to making sure that either the webpage reaches unsophisticated social events for unequivocal age, yet they cannot shield exuberant individuals depending on what their companions posted. Trying to organize online life and mechanisms is used as an appliance time and time again, and couples can post stuff that could hurt others.
Prisoners approach the web-based life and organization of frameworks that empower them to remain connected to what is happening outside the world. Likewise, web-based life can make people feel horrible about themselves. You may have someone younger than you with a more notable number of things that you have, making you think flimsy about your personality and what you have accomplished for the duration of your regular daily life. Conclusions;
As advancement has transformed internet organization into the day-to-day schedule for each, society is seen to rely on this development reliably. Its impact on people is unique in different fields. Administration of web-based systems has extended the quality and rate of a planned understudy effort. Business uses online person-to-person communication to improve the exercises of affiliation in many different ways, such as, to achieve business goals, growing annual affiliation ideas.
Gradually, young people are in touch with some of these media. Online life has distinctive advantages, but it also has a few awful impressions that have an antagonistic impact on people. False information can lead the preparation structure to dissatisfaction; in a wrong affiliation business, productivity will be influenced; electronic life may misuse the general population by assaulting the security of individuals; some purposeless web diaries may affect young people who may end up wild and may take inappropriate exercises. The use of web-based life is beneficial, but without becoming reliant, it should be used in an obligatory manner.
With everything taken into account, online life is and will continue to be terrible, aside from whether something is done about it. The power it possesses over people is dangerous and often goes unnoticed. In such a case, people should be careful that they may cause national and general problems not having tended to or considered web-based life. In many web customers, online development stunts the progress of connections and makes narcissism. They are still at risk of paying little respect if the online experience does not affect customer rationally. There is no resistance to the risky side effects of interpersonal interaction online, including extortion of information, stalkers, or software engineers.
