MOSAIC VS MELTING POT

Canada is a country made up of cultural mosaics, not cultural melts, and I am proud in both domestic and abroad. Mosaic is based on our belief that the whole of Canada is getting stronger as immigrants bring their cultural diversity to all Canadians. The crucible of the culture used in the United States, once they landed on the American coast no matter who they were, they are all Americans, expecting to adopt and follow the American way I will tell immigrants.

The center of society in Canada is our legal system. Our legal system is based on the common law model in the UK, which is based on a value system strictly observing the procedural rules on substantive matters in front of the courts. Because the Canadian model is based on priority, the court is reluctant to do something never been done. As a result, Canadian courts have difficulty in adopting or recruiting new ideas and social conventions. From a cultural point of view, the Canadian legal system adopts a "melting furnace" approach. In other words, our legal system does not accept culturally unique dispute resolution methods. Instead, our legal system imposes value on everyone coming. For example, in a separate case of a family, the court applies the UK or French legal system, but the concept of whether or not different cultures and people are different in Canada and whether it means separate family membership is always reflected in court decisions It is not necessarily done. When making decisions, the courts do not always assume the obligation to consider cultural values.

One of the problems posed by this dichotomy is how Canada's legal system is more flexible in accepting the different values ​​of controversial solutions.

In the past century, "mosaic" and "crucible" appeared in North America as a concept to explain the relationship between Canadian and American with immigrant and cultural diversity. The origin of the word mosaic can be traced back to John Murray Gibbon 's book "Canadian Mosaics" in 1938, and in the drama "crucible" of Zangwill 1908, the crucible appeared in the public consciousness. These two concepts are still thoughtful about history and are still powerful today. They contain beliefs about collective ownership, upward liquidity and citizenship. These two phrases actually represent national ideology. This reflects how many Canadians and Americans think about integration and cultural and linguistic diversity.

In this article I will explain the pros and cons of mosaic and furnace theory. First, I will explain the two ideologies. In the "crucible" country like America, the former identity was after you became a new American identity. As all the US share this commonality, this will create a more homogeneous type of country. In multicultural or mosaic countries such as Canada, everyone appreciates each other's difference and Canadian identity. It sounds better than the other, but neither ideal has both advantages and disadvantages.
