Why I Want To Be Canada
As an ambassador to another country, I feel that trying to get a US citizen released from prison in North Korea would prove to be most difficult. I believe that with the past history, with their aggressiveness and hostility towards the United States and other countries, would make the negotiation process extremely difficult. Not only have that, but to reiterate, North Korea’s unwillingness to work with other countries, no matter what the situation’s circumstances may be. North Korea has used the threat of nuclear weaponry to strike fear into other nation’s minds. North Korea additionally has a completely different style of government than the US. North Korea is governed by a dictatorship, were the United States operates under the umbrella of democracy. I believe those two styles of government have completely different views, additionally, making it difficult to find common ground. …show more content…
The reasons I believe Canada would be the easiest is because it for one is a neighboring, bordering country. Moreover, just because it is a neighboring country does not necessarily make it an easy transaction. However, historically the United States has had little to no large issues arise between the two countries. I also feel that Canada is a non-violent country and generally level headed in their social and economic beliefs. Not to mention that the US and Canada have had successful negotiations in the past. Thus supporting my opinion of why I believe Canada would be the easiest country to get a US Citizen released from prison.

    A penitentiary system is necessary to house convicted criminals. The United States penitentiary system currently suffers from mass incarceration, with the highest incarceration rate in the world, having more 2 million people incarcerated and thereby making up almost 22% of the entire worlds prison population (“Mass Incarceration in the USA,” 1). Sweden, on the other hand, has a prison population of 5,245 (Öberg, 1). A country’s overall population certainly is a key factor in the previous numbers stated, yet, if you look at the incarceration rate per 100,000 people, the number incarcerated in the United States is 666 and 53 in Sweden. This is a huge difference, one that demands answers. The United States is often depicted as encompassing a prison system that preys on minorities and the mental ill, resulting in overcrowded prisons with high rates of recidivism. These conditions can easily foster unfit treatment and abuse with an emphasis on punishment as a form of correction as opposed to a focus on rehabilitation. Sweden, on the other hand, has emphasized their support behind rehabilitation in the prison system, resulting in lowered crime and incarceration rates for its citizens. Sweden’s number of inmates is steadily continuing to drop as the United States simultaneously rises. These outcomes highlight a core difference in the prison institutions in…

    The differences between Norway’s incarceration system and the United States system can be seen as a considerably large gap. Norway can be seen as the motivating, free spirit type of prison, where as the United States is more reserved, but strict at the same time type of prison. On the contrary, Norway and the United States may be different, but there is still a hint of likeness within the two countries. One might be slightly more different, but as long as they help and hold the prisoners that have done wrong then that’s what matters. The truth is that no matter what anybody does, people will always find the differences,--as well as a few similarities within Norway and the United States’ incarceration systems.…

    Canada, the 3.885 million square mile country located directly north of the United States, is the second largest country in the world. It has an extremely diversified population of 35.16 million people, and among this population are French Canadians. There is a lasting influence of French culture, religion, language, and more in Canada. This is due to the fact that it was once French territory; French Canadians currently residing in Canada are descendants of Canada’s colonial-era French settlers. Despite eventually having to give up their territory, known as New France, to the British, there is still a long-lasting influence of the French in Canada.…

    Throughout Canada’s history, there have been many events that have defined us a nation. Some of the most important events have happened in the 20th century. The first one was Canada’s participation in the battle of Vimy Ridge because it showed that we are a very strong and brave country. The second event was the actions of Lester B. Pearson, as he showed the world that Canada is a very peaceful and independent country. The final one was the Canadian Constitution of 1982, as Canada showed that we are an independent and multicultural country. Three 20th century events that defined Canada as a nation were Canada’s participation in the battle of Vimy Ridge, the actions of Lester B. Pearson, and the Canadian Constitution Act of 1982.…

    When thinking of how America is leading the world the number of incarcerated citizens per capita does not come to mind. America is considered to be the greatest country in the world. It is known for its fight for freedom and its triumph in maintaining it. Because of this many Americans take pride in the country they have been apart of shaping just as they should. However, in recent years problems have arisen that have taken some of its beauty away. One of those is the shocking amount of people who are imprisoned. There are several causes for the sudden overpopulation in Americas jails but a problem like this is not only one that is embarrassing to our country but is also one that could possibly be eased with a few minor changes to the United States jail system. In order for there to be a positive change incarceration must be brought to light as an issue instead of being ignored and neglected as it has been in the past.…
