Social Studies - Canada in the World Today
Ideal for essays and debates on Canadian history. What was Canada’s role in the major conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries? What is Canada’s military role in the world today, and what is its reputation? What is the difference between war and peacekeeping? When is war necessary or effective, and when is it not? What motivates people to enlist in the army? Would you consider enlisting in the army? Why? When we honour war veterans, do we celebrate war?
