HISTORY OF COLONIALISM IN CANADA
Colonialism can be expounded as the policy or combined set of strategies and practices
where the political bodies and its respective powers from one territory have control in the other
territory (Morton, D., 2017). It has unequal distribution of power relations. In Canada
Colonialism is the history that is connected with the history of its food as the indigenous people
due to hunger and poverty forced to deprive off from their land, culture and community by
another group.
As per sociological imagination and perspective, alcoholism in Canadian aboriginals is
the most alarming function that work like termites that is eating up their social settings. The
aboriginals are engrossed with the alcoholic behaviour. The drug consumption rate is very high
resulting in depressed sections of Canadian aboriginals. The homely women and girls are being
regularly abused. This was reported that after colonialism this problem has come into existence
even more prominently. The people engaging in highly diseased behaviour, mental retardation,
depression, social and cultural breakdown and also effecting drastically to the societal
relationships. The colonialism is effecting on people making them self-destructive (Matties
2016).
The functional perspective of the society of Canadian colonialism is the structural
specimen or a framework for developing a theory that considers society as the most complex
system which contributes in groups or structural form to put an effect on the society. The society
itself depends on certain norms to function or dysfunction. It provides an overall framework
which points out the factors through macro level orientation. It helps building society as a whole
through dedicated social structures. It gives a shape to the society through traditions, customs,
values and principles. It is relatable to both the societal functions and dysfunctions.
