For the interview we had to question someone who has lived in this country for over 40 years and someone who has lived in it for under 8. The two people I chose were my grandpa Stan Sissons and Frank Kim a student who is my age. I choose my Grandpa Stan because he has travelled to most parts of the world and lived in Canada his whole life. I chose Frank because he is really the only person i know who has lived here for less than 8 years.
Based on the the results from both my interviews I come to a main conclusion of Canada is a great country overall but we have some downsides to. The reason I chose this sentence is because in both interviews there was pros and cons to our country. Some of the pros being our great job opportunities, education, multiculturalism, healthcare, government security, safety, space, great place to raise a family, along with many others. And some of the cons were being so far away from your family in another country, my grandpa said our government although better than most still not perfect, and a popular answer between Frank and my grandpa, it gets so flipping cold here. Overall the pros highly outweighed the cons and neither of them wished they could live some where else. Those facts about Canada say a lot about our identity as a country, we are looked at as the country that accepts all cultures and tries to keep the peace all over the world.

Reflection
The I chose these two assignments because each of them taught me to understand multiple perspectives and helped my knowledge grow. The interview assignment taught me how different people view our country, and opened my eyes even more to how multicultural Canada really is. The Fiddler on the Roof venn diagram assignment taught me how take in and understand multiple perspectives while still having my own point of view.
