Young Canadians in a Wireless World, Phase IV: Talking to Youth and Parents about Online Resiliency

In 2019, MediaSmarts conducted focus groups with youth ages 11 to 17 and their parents to better understand what is working for young people online and what needs to be changed or improved so that young people get the most out of their online experiences and their interactions with digital technology – both at home and in the classroom. Through these conversations we discovered that youth are deeply aware of the pitfalls and benefits of digital technology. This research calls attention to how we might help youth across Canada be more resilient online – with more balance, trust and support – and formed the foundation for the development of our national survey with students across Canada.

British Columbia - Genocide Studies 12

Big Ideas

• The intentional destruction of peoples and their cultures is not inevitable, and such attempts can be disrupted and resisted.
• The use of the term “genocide” to describe atrocities has political, legal, social, and cultural ramifications.
• Despite international commitments to prohibit genocide, violence targeted against groups of people has continued to challenge global peace and prosperity.
• While genocides are caused by and carried out for different reasons, all genocides share similarities in progression and scope.
