As referred earlier, Suzuki has done a lot for people in British Columbia such as encouraging youth to pursue science research and helping out minorities …show more content…
in north-eastern parts of British Columbia. ‘In 2004, he was voted Fifth Greatest Canadian by viewers in tv series, The Greatest Canadian by CBC.’ This is very significant because it was a democratic vote and it is clear that Canadians love what Suzuki is doing for the country.
‘In 2007, Suzuki was awarded the International Human Rights Award,’(2) for promoting human rights, mainly for, First Nations people. Likewise, Suzuki has received notable attention for his work in many different fields, and many of them are viewed as very distinguishable awards such the Greatest Canadian Award.
David Suzuki has proven to be an inspiring idol through his majors works as a Canadian science broadcaster. All of Suzuki’s shows are highly acclaimed and promote varied amounts of messages to the residents of Canada. In 1971, Suzuki on Science turned Suzuki into a public idol, and it was aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation(CBC), and its clear purpose was to engage teenagers and adults in many components of science. ‘The first season of Suzuki on Science ran for 5 half-hour episodes’ and the main subjects involved a lot of human anatomy and wildlife. Furthermore in detail, the subjects involved fertilization, genetics, immune systems and how body protects itself from diseases and heals from injuries. Science on Suzuki also covers ways on how to reproduce synthetically, and has a theory-based stance on death/extinction and possibly how we can make careful approach to extension of life on Earth itself. The show really conveys useful messages out to all sorts of audiences, let it be adults, teenagers, or
elderly. Suzuki believes that the youth carry the future, so if he can broaden their minds and reconfigure their perspectives on science, they could go on and do some great things for the country in the future as he has done. As a result of his success in Science on Suzuki, in 1979, he was offered to host the show The Nature of Things which started in 1960. During the production, Suzuki travels all over the globe and provide his detailed viewpoints about the state of many significant places. In addition, he takes world-wide viewers on a journey where he offers ways to make it a self-sustainable location. For example, in his season premiere called, "Flying Circus of Physics / Immune System / Monarch Butterfly / Contact Lenses", he meets a professor who performs the Flying Circus of Physics which is a metaphor for physics being in our everyday lives because physics is everything. They also talk about the recent efforts to treat sick kids, discuss the life cycle of a monarch butterfly and what dangers the species face. Sometimes, he also asks for input from the public on the internet, so he may learn new things as well because this is all for one purpose-knowledge and interest building. This may have clearly been one of his greatest accomplishment as a science broadcaster as this reality show clearly excelled at a particularly high rate. His role as a science broadcaster instills curiosity and confidence into his audience and he continues to astonish Canadian viewers with remarkable discoveries through his TV shows.

Inquiry Question: Why were the passengers on the Komagata Maru rejected to stay in Canada?
Mankind has existed for thousands of years and we have evolved to become better than past generations… or did we? We learned to evolve technologically to fight against each another. We learned to evolve intellectually to vote Donald Trump as the US president of 2016. We learn all these things that cause our own destruction, yet we don’t learn to care for the environment around us and respect it. In “Hidden Lessons” by David Suzuki, he explains how children are misguided by the negative views of nature of many people and how children are influenced to fear nature rather than embrace it. While I am not an environmental activist, I strongly agree with David Suzuki’s inner meaning of not just teaching “children to love and respect other life forms”

Canada is perceived by other nations as a peace-loving and good-natured nation that values the rights of the individual above all else. This commonly held belief is a perception that has only come around as of late, and upon digging through Canadian history it quickly becomes obvious that this is not the truth. Canadian history is polluted with numerous events upon which the idea that Canada is a role model for Human Rights shows to be false. An extreme example of this disregard for Human Rights takes place at the beginning of the twentieth-century, which is the excessive prejudice and preconceived notions that were held as truths against immigrants attempting to enter Canada. Another prime example of these prejudices and improper Human Rights is the Internment of those of Japanese descent or origin during the Second World War. Also the White Paper that was published by the government continues the theme of Human Rights being violated to the utmost extreme. All these events, as well as many others in history, give foundation to the idea that “Canada as a champion for Human Rights is a myth”.
David Suzuki, an 80-year-old, third-generation Japanese-Canadian academic, science broadcaster, and environmental activist. During World War 2, his childhood, he was sent to an internment camp with his family and he grew up to hate himself for being who he was, a Japanese. Over the years, he made himself very well-educated. He earned a B.A. in Biology at the Amherst College in Massachusetts, and a Ph.D. In zoology from the University of Chicago. From 1963 – 2001, he was the professor in the genetics department at UBC. His meaningful background and excellent education shape him into a great individual for an environmental activist. This is how he makes his mark on Canada, making him one of the ‘Greatest Canadians’.

United nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples In United Nations. General Assembly, United Nations. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (Eds.), . New York: New York : United Nations, 2008.
In conclusion, Japanese Canadian interments in World War Two have left life-long scars on Japanese Canadians by violating the rights to their properties, rights to build their own social status, and basic human rights. Therefore, in order for Canada to truly recompense for its wrong doings to Japanese Canadians, both the government and the people of Canada should make an appropriate apology with right amount of compensation to cover all the damages caused.

Jackie Robinson was also known as Jack Rossevelt Robinson. Jackie Robinson had very many struggles; Jackie was drafted and assigned to Fort Riley, Kansas, where he faced racial discrimination on a daily basis, he was the first African American in baseball, transformed the face of American sports forever, and his father abandoned the family when Jackie was an infant, and forced his mother and four older siblings to join the "Great Migration" of the time and move to California. Jackie was born on January 31, 1919. He was born into a family of sharecroppers in Cairo, Georgia. It is still said that he never "completely" knew his real father, but there are other stories to. Jackie's real father is also said to have left the family the same year he was born, 1919. About 3 months after his birth, he left to go to the Great Migration, and he never returned. At the same time as all that was going on, he was dealing with lots of racism and torture. The white men were a lot more educated than Jackie and other black men, yet black men were still very educated. All these struggles are just the ones in his early years, the struggles that are more known happen later when he becomes very well known by most whites, yet just because he was well known does not mean that they all liked him.
Jackie Robinson, from early on in his life, was known for his great achievements in sports, but his achievements in sports only aided the greater goal of racial equality. Robinson attended Pasadena Junior College, where he often got in trouble for not cooperating with Jim Crow laws- laws that enforced segregation between African Americans and Whites. He also attended UCLA College where he met his future wife, but he was not able to finish because of financial difficulties. When he entered the Military he faced discrimination from other soldiers; this discrimination he faced showed him that sports were his true calling, not the military. He seemed destined to lead a career in bringing African Americans and whites together. Jackie Robinson played baseball at a time when it was segregated, a time where there were white leagues and African American leagues and the two did not mix. Being a civil rights activist, Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball, opening up sports to African Americans.
