Technology, The Environment, and Society
Overall Expectations
C2. analyse societal issues related to the widespread use of computers and associated technologies.
Specific Expectations
C2.1 assess the benefits of computer and electronic technology for society (e.g., improved access to technology for economically disadvantaged people and nations; greater efficiency and lower costs for information services; development of a “global village”; software that can help monitor or predict changes in wetland area, deforestation, and climate);

In much the same way that racialized groups are under- or misrepresented in news media, they are also not accurately portrayed in entertainment media, which tends to reinforce themes that are conveyed in the news. Although positive change is occurring, it is important that media content more accurately and fairly reflect the reality of Canadian multiculturalism.
