I think that the most significant aspects of this conflict in regards to the oka crisis are many things. The first great aspect of this was that their is very poor communication. Communication is key in keeping peace and solving issues. How i know that communication is poor due to this situation is because the land claim is still unsolved after all this time.

The mohawk people are like many First Nation people. Trying to keep the land that was rightfully theirs. The government however is not looking at helping the first nations people suceed but only to themselves. They did not even consult first nations when they were going to build a golf course on their lands.

The value of the land is the next big player in this conflict. The whole conflict is about expanding a golf course on the Mohawk Land. If the land had no value there would be no conflict. Just like the Lubicon Nation oil value. The government would have set the land claim if the land a little value to them for profit and gain.

The next large factor in this conflict in my opinion would have to be, the blocades and other barriers that were formed to keep people out of their land. The "innocently" "harmless" barriers may seem that way but they caused deaths and fighting. An officer was even killed because of this. If they had used their mouths instead of weapons and blockades the conflict would not have gotten to that level of physical violence.

Overall i think that this conflict could be minimized if and only if, the government and first nations people spoke rather than fight, inform rather than go ahead with plans without the others consent. If they could learn to communicate by speaking and LISTENING to one another this conflict would be solved by now, and those key factors to this conflict would be diminished.

Whales are the most precious animal ever created by God. They are so precious and putting them in captivity would ruin their lives. They deserve large oceans to swim and mate in. Putting them in captivity would not allow them to eat what they need. Whales enjoy eating fish, sea lions, seals, walruses and seabirds the aquarium cannot offer these to the whales. How would you like it if you never got to eat your favorite food and had to live off of tofu. That is what the whales are living like they just want a big large steak but instead they're getting tofu. What if you couldn't live a normal life just like these whales how would you feel?

In Canada there were many affects from the imperialism that took place in Canada on the aboriginal peoples. In Australia there were also many indigenous peoples that were affected by imperialism.

The reason imperialism even started in Australia is because the British would take their prisoners to Australia to be held captive. It would be very hard to escape back to Britain if you were in Austrailia. Especially in those days. They had many similar effects on the Australian and Canadian indigenous peoples.

To be taken from your home and sent away to have assimilations thrust at you was harsh and even harsher to these indigenous children especially because of their age. The children in Canada that were the first nations people also had this happen to them

The British influence on Canada and India were largely different because of one major thing. Or should I say person. Mahatma Gandhi was the reason that India is not colonized today. They were able to keep their language and cultures because one man took a stand and said it wasn't right to change his people.

In the words of Gandhi I quote,” We hold the civilization that you (British colonists) support to be the reverse of civilization. We consider our civilization to be far superior to yours. If you realize this truth, it will be to you advantage and if you do not, according to your own proverb (when in Rome do as the Romans do'), you should only live in our country in the same manner as we do.... We consider your schools and courts to be useless. We want our own ancient schools and courts to be restored. The common language of India is not English but Hindi. You should, therefore, learn it. We can hold communication with our only in our national language.

The European imperialists came in their with force and wanted power over the Indian people of India. They did exercise control over a lot of the land and people of India. The Europeans also did this to the Natives of Canada. The difference was in India they did not put up with it for long. One man took a stand to justice and this saved his people and their long-lived culture that still lives on today.

The native indigenous tribes of Canada were against the assimilation and control over them and their land, but they could not uniformly organize an opposition towards the Europeans. Their culture was just as unique as the Indian culture in India and precious. However it has not been preserved as well as theirs have. The Native culture around me today is still there but not as vivid. Most do not live in tepees all year round and dress in their native clothing unless it is for special occasions and other times.

When you compare the effects and influence over these two countries with cultures different than European you can see similarities in how things went down, but today the nations and people are living very different due to their stand for justice before.

The dictionary states that a union is an organized association of workers formed to protect and further their rights and interests. Having unions in work and government benefits us and works against us.

The advantages of unions in work include the strength to negotiate a legally binding contract with your employer including better wages, affordable health care, a secure retirement and a safer workplace. Union workers compared to nonunion workers have way better wages of about 27% higher.

Union workers save a lot of money on healthcare because they only have to pay about 43% of the charge unlike nonunion workers who pay the whole amount. The pensions of union workers is 72% and they have a guaranteed retirement. The more union's there are the better everyone is, today there is a battle against the unions where we are all fighting for our jobs, communities, and families.]\

The disadvantages of the unions today are that they are inflexible. When struggle happens in a business they feel they need to save money by lowering the workers salary, but in a union change cannot be made. Another disadvantage is that members can be fines or disciplined by their union for engaging in activities, that are unbecoming of the union member or which violate the union's constitution and by-laws.
