Having completed your research, discuss your thoughts on the various contributions

Canadians are making across the world.

As I have seen from the website and the various examples of contributions above, Ican see a multitude of ways in how Canada is making the world a better place. It is

essential that Canada keeps contributing bright ideas, inventions, culture and tradition to

other countries to move society forward and make a difference Internationally.

I have observed that in the majority of developed Countries, a lot more

contributions were present then in Developing countries, most likely because the developedcountries have a lot more power, therefore, being able to bestow more wealth and

privileges on Canada. It can be assumed Developed countries also have the ability to

contribute back to Canada making it a beneficial exchange to both countries, whereasdeveloping and third-world countries may not have that ability.

I have also observed that each of the different contributions to each of the differentcountries is of different levels taken from the needs of the country itself. For example,

Canada has contributed Ice Hockey Clubs to Oceanic countries and medical aid and watersupply to some African countries. The desires of Oceanic countries are most likely along

the lines of recreation while the desires of African countries are most likely along the linesof survival. It can be observed that Canada contributes different items depending on the

state at which the country is at.

Overall, I believe that Canada has done a great job helping out other countries

through tradition, culture, inventions and material gains. I believe that if we keep this up,

other countries will soon follow our lead and the world will become a nicer place.
