I am judged by the way I look

I need to protect myself

They are all the same

Well if they think I am bad, I will show them how bad I can

really be

I am different, I will never fit in

Coming here was a big

mistakeI can’t do it

I need to be with people like

me

Me versus Them

loss of cognitive abilities | discouragement | loss of self-esteem | illnesses | suicide | below the Canadian low-income cut-off | numbness | negative behaviour

I am scared

They hate me

Us versus Him/Her

I hate them

Current Scenario

I will integrate and we will include you

Ideal Scenario

One never asks a person to change until one has at least a glimpse into that person’s ways of viewing the world, and so has an idea of what that change might mean to them.

(Brophy, Fransella, & Reed, 2003, p330)

However, when working with large groups of people, that principle must be violated. All that can be done is to ensure that one gains as much knowledge as possible about the current views of the target group before embarking on a programme that is asking them to change those views.

(Brophy, Fransella, & Reed, 2003, p330)

Identify the construct systems that youth use when it comes to the inclusion and integration of immigrants and refugees Examine how these construct systems help this youth anticipate events and behave accordingly

Today, I had my scarf over my ears and wrappedaround my head to keep me warm. En route from afriends house on Bloor to Bathurst station a manstopped to to attack me, pushed me, grabbed me bymy jacket and continued to yell at me to remove myhijab and leave his country. I'll leave this one for you to comment on. Because I'mstill baffled.

*Note: I am not a Muslim, nor a refugee but today I sawhow it felt to be unsafe where you are trying to findsafety.*

We are full...close the borders to immigrants

Syrian refuges will bolster our economy. They will make Canada a better and more diverse country culturally. These refuges are an investment in our future and they deserve our support. When I was younger I worked with Cambodia refuges and other new Canadians. The prevailing attitude I witnessed amongst refuges and other new Canadians was a drive to work hard and contribute to our country. This will be an enormous transition for many of these refuges we owe it to them to provide our utmost support.

No Syrian rapists and terrorists in Canada! Stop this madness now!

This is not how I see my grandchildren future: openly discussing sharia laws on CBC and how to make easier for Muslims to get a mortgage. This is just a plague that will cripple Canada

We do not want to see an influx of this in Canada, as we are currently seeing in Europe. The attacks in Paris by Islamists is the last straw. We cannot risk an epidemic of such savagery on Canadian soil.

if the migrants want to adapt to our traditions and culture great, welcome..But if they just want to start a new Syria (or whatever their country of origin is)here in Canada, well then I say"thanks for coming but you can't stay here....This has nothing to do about race.

Triadic ElicitationIn what important way are two of them alike but different from the third?
