...Microcultures in Canada A Comparative Approach Introduction Every society contains both a mainstream culture and many different subcultures. The mainstream culture is how one is identified as. However, microcultures consist of how we identify ourselves within the global mainstream culture. There are multitudes of ways to participate in a microculture. It could be along ethnic, religious lines, or even lifestyle. All these factors come into play with regards to the different aspects of microcultures. This paper will delve into all three types of microcultures; it will look at Vietnamese, Jewish, and Vegan cultures and compare them to mainstream Canadian culture. The subsequent comparative analysis aims at finding differences in an attempt to better understand and communicate more effectively, by clarifying the common misunderstandings that arise when communicating with different microcultures, whether in business or everyday life. Vietnamese Background/History/Evolution Representing one of the largest non-European sub-cultures in Canada, the Vietnamese community ranks 5th in terms of size and comprises just over 150,000 individuals. Concentrated in metropolitan areas, close to 60% of the population resides in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver or Calgary (Statistics Canada see Appendix B). Despite currently being a sizable group, this sub-culture was virtually non-existent prior to the Vietnamese war that took place between 1964 and 1975. It wasn't until the conflict arose...

...X-rays commonly reveal reduced bone density (osteopenia). Because x-rays do not provide precise estimates of bone mass, dual energy x-ray scans are used to recognize bone mineral density. Looser’s zones located in the ribs, pelvis, and long bones constitute areas where bone has demineralized. These areas are referenced as pseudo fractures or milkman’s fractures. Individuals diagnosed with osteomalacia have a good chance of recovery if the disease and treatment is managed correctly. This can begin with diet with plenty vitamin D and calcium, exercise, and exposure to efficient sunlight. Recovery can take months even with proper treatment. I found this article to be very interesting and informative. I am vitamin D deficient and have been for years. I was prescribed vitamin D supplements to take daily. I am currently not following the doctor’s orders, seeing as though I did feel fine. Here lately, I have been experiencing bone and muscle aches quite often, almost daily. I was unaware of the damage I am causing to my bones/body. Now that I am more aware, I do plan to take my prescribed medication coupled with mild exercise. I plan on looking into getting tested for osteomalacia as...

...Autoimmune Diseases Your body's immune system protects you from disease and infection. But if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body. These diseases tend to run in families. Women - particularly African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native-American women - have a higher risk for some autoimmune diseases. The diseases may also have flare-ups, when they get worse, and remissions, when they all but disappear. The diseases do not usually go away, but symptoms can be treated. Multiple Sclerosis Is a disease affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with muscle movement,balance and vision. Every nrve fibre in the brain and spinal cord is surrounded by a layer of protein called myelin which protects the nerve and helps electrical signals from the brain travel to the rest of the body. In MS, the myelin becomes damaged. This disrupts the transfer the transfer of these nerve signals,causing a wide range of potential symptoms such as: * numbness and tingling * blurring of vision * problems with mobility and balance * muscle weakness and tightness * MS can damage nerve fibres in your brain and spinal cord, which can cause muscles to contract tightly and painfully (spasm). Your muscles may also become stiff and resistant to movement, which is known as spasticity. * Neuropathic pain – caused by damage to the nerve fibres in...

Each store has sixteen different flavors ranging from unusual flavors such as coconut and lemon, to your traditional flavors, such as vanilla and chocolate (Quintanilla, 1). You also have the option to swirl select flavors as well. This may seem like a low option of flavors, but they are switched out often with different flavors to change it up for their customers. After you make your own bowl of frozen yogurt from the machines, you have the options of choosing from fifty-two different toppings (Quintanilla, 1). Some of the options you have when it comes to toppings are fruit topping, chocolate candies, nuts, gummy candies, and many more (Quintanilla, 1).

...certain vitamins needed by the body to maintain regular good health. If long term vitamin deficiency occurs, a deficiency disease can develop, and this can also lead to probable death. Unlike some other food substances, such as protein and carbohydrates, of which the body needs to consume large regular quantities, vitamins are needed in small quantities. Hence, vitamins, minerals and supplements should be an important part of our daily diet in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle and to avoid vitamin deficiencies. According to researcher Meirner “a deficiency in either vitamin B12 or folate may due to inadequate dietary intake, malnutrition, chronic, significant alcohol intake, problems with gastrointestinal absorption, history of gastric surgery, sever Chrohns disease, pancreatic insufficiency, or the use of certain drugs. Vitamin B12 is synthesized from bacteria and is found in all animal sources. Strict vegetarians; those who do not consume any animal, fish or dairy products are at a higher risk for vitamin B12 deficiency unless their diet is supplemented with vitamins. With the exception of strict vegetarians, vitamin B12deficiency...
