3 main points I learned from reading my article:

1. In this article I learned that the beauty world has been a lot more accepting that I thought they were. “The formerly exclusive beauty world has been increasingly inclusive with the celebration of ‘beauty boys”’. Even though it’s not 100% accepted and there’s still some negative responses, I felt that way more people would have a negative opinion as it has changed social norms.

2. The beauty enthusiasts that have came out and shared their passion for makeup have made others feel more comfortable and open to their passion for beauty. 

3. “Beauty boys” have broken down the gender roles. As many people have always had their stereotypes, that makeup was for women, this new social norm has broken down that stereotypes and has showed that just because a man wears makeup doesn’t make them gay or transgender. It’s more accepting now.

Canada is 150 and still needs to face its racism problem: advocates

An Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Global News found that 25 per cent of Canadians say they have experienced racism.

this article summarizes that people can be very judgmental. It talks about the statistics of Canadians that say they have experienced racism in 2005 and that 59 per cent of Muslims and Arabs were most likely to be victims of race-motivated discrimination. It also talks about how people make comments towards them in public places and sometimes even physically assaults them.

Sir John A. doesn’t need a school to be remembered. He lives on indigenous pain.

What I have learned:

1. I learned that Sir John A. did a lot of bad things towards the indigenous community. For example he starved them so he could build a railway on there land. He also started the residential school system which in my opinion was one of the worst systems in Canadian history and I believe that a lot of indigenous would agree with me.

2. In Thunder Bay, Ontario a middle aged indigenous women was walking with another indigenous women when one of them was struck by a trailer hitch, thrown from a moving car. A witness says that he/she heard the person that threw it say “oh i got one”. So just because Sir John A  lived 150 years ago, he started racism towards the indigenous and it continues today in 2018.

3. One thing that our government is doing to help remove racism towards indigenous in Canada, is making schools teach kids about Canada’s history and how they did horrible things to these indigenous people. Maybe teaching this will show people that they have had it a lot worst then any body else in Canada. So maybe that will educate people about there history and that they should respect the indigenous community.
