The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
Canada is a great country. Indeed, a country with a great quality of life. That is why many immigrants want to go to Canada, to improve their living conditions.
Canada’s immigration policies reflect the underlying values of its citizens and impact Canadian history because these policies reflect the Canadian values that welcome people and support diversity as long as immigrants understand that they have to respect Canadian laws and the culture, traditions, history, and beliefs systems of this nation.
Canada has welcomed immigrant workers when the country has labor shortages and needs specific skills for workers, for instance, in agriculture.
Answer:
1. Propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.
2. Information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.
3. Citizens have a fear of the outside world.
4. Citizens live in a dehumanized state.
5. The society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world.
Explanation:
The passage in the question is from the very first paragraph of the text of Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron", a novel about a dystopian world. This excerpt shows the perceived "perfect utopian world' whereas the citizens still seem to be under the constant threat of being 'punished'.
The passage is also an example of the characteristics of a dystopic world that is the setting of the story. Here, propaganda is used as a means to control the citizens, with the restriction of the information and various other independent thoughts. This led to the fear and reluctance of the citizens in associating with the outside world, and the dehumanization of the perceived perfect society. All these is an illusion that the society they are living is the perfect utopian world.
