“If Canada's diversity is to be a source of vitality,citizenship means not only developing appreciation, respect and understanding of diversity but also developing capacities to work in a milieu of social difference, which can sometimes be conflictual” (Goldstein & David, 2000, p. 10) Canada is one of the most cultural diverse country in the world, and the diversity of Canada’s population continues to increase. Having citizenship education is benificiary to everyone. If children learn the meaning and responsibilities of being a good citizen at an early age, it would help them to be more considerate and compassionate as they grow older. With Canada being such a culture diverse country, children should be taught that everyone is the same, no matter their differences in looks, religion, language, traditions etc; they are all entitled to the same respect and rights that all citizens of Canada are entitled to. When they are taught at a young age that these differences that we have are to be embraced and not ridicule, to emcompasses these difference as something that is unique would lessen the chance of racial conflicts in the long run. I believe to be educated about these aspects they will be more knowledgable and would not act in ignorant, which could lead to racial conflicts. The education of citizienship I think should be started at the primary grades, the earlier the children learn about their responsibilities and role of a good citizen, it is more likely that they carry this teaching all through their life. Education of citizenship should be continually taught throughout a student’s education, so that they are constantly reminded of what a good citizen’s repsonsiblities, behaviours and actions should be like.
