Tumblr media
In the fast-paced world of academia and professional writing, the role of a professional essay writer is crucial.

Understanding the Role of Professional Essay Writers
Professional essay writers are individuals who have honed their writing skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality essays across various topics and disciplines. Their expertise extends beyond mere grammar and syntax; they are adept at structuring arguments, conducting thorough research, and presenting ideas in a clear and compelling manner.
A professional essay writer typically possesses:
Expertise in Various Subjects: They are often well-versed in a range of academic fields or industries, allowing them to handle diverse essay topics with confidence.
Strong Research Skills: Good essay writing requires in-depth research. Professional writers know how to gather, evaluate, and synthesize information from reliable sources.
Advanced Writing Techniques: Beyond basic writing skills, they employ advanced techniques to ensure their essays are engaging, well-organized, and effectively convey their intended message.
Attention to Detail: They are meticulous in their approach, ensuring that every aspect of the essay—from content to formatting—is up to standard.
Time Management: Professional writers are adept at managing their time to meet deadlines without compromising the quality of their work.
How Professional Essay Writers Work
The process that professional essay writers follow can be broken down into several key stages:
Initial Consultation: This is the first step where the writer and the client discuss the requirements of the essay. This includes understanding the topic, determining the essay's purpose, and clarifying any specific instructions or guidelines.
Research and Information Gathering: Once the topic and requirements are clear, the writer begins gathering relevant information. This involves reviewing academic journals, books, and other credible sources to ensure that the essay is well-informed and based on accurate data.
Outlining and Structuring: A solid outline is crucial for a coherent essay. Professional essay writers create detailed outlines to organize their thoughts and structure the essay logically. This includes an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Writing the Draft: With an outline in place, the writer starts drafting the essay. This stage involves translating research and ideas into a well-structured narrative, paying attention to the flow of arguments and clarity of expression.
Revising and Editing: After completing the initial draft, the writer revises and refines the content. This includes checking for grammatical errors, ensuring that the essay adheres to the required formatting style, and making necessary adjustments to improve readability and coherence.

Controversy over Chinese Signage in Richmond Unveils Underlying Racism: Overlooking Canadian Identity, Inclusivity, and Community Harmony
Richmond, British Columbia is known to be a predominantly Chinese city, with over half of the population being Chinese (“Chinese signs in richmond: Should there be a limit?”, 2013), which makes sense as to why most of the signage used in Richmond include Chinese characters. For business owners, these signs help appeal to Chinese speaking individuals that do not understand English as the exact meaning of words can be lost in translation. Due to the abundance of signs posted in Chinese, there sparks a debate among citizens on whether or not business signs with all Chinese should be removed or at least include fifty percent of English or French, Canada’s two official languages.  The rising conflict insinuates the idea business owners with signs in all Chinese are not willing to embrace Canadian culture or at least attempt to appeal to a non-Chinese audience which speaks about underlying racism, Canadian identity, and inclusivity. This has led to bylaw no.5560 to be revised to improve ‘community harmony’ as per the City of Richmond (Campbell, 2017). Discourse analysis I will be used to evaluate Chinese signage in Richmond since it considers our unconscious way of understanding the alarming conflict about the growing Chinese population of Richmond that has already a large Chinese community in Canada.
Previous to the revised bylaw, the City of Richmond relied more on the education of its residents to inform them on how to make their business signs legible for Richmondities and what they call ‘community harmony’(City of Richmond, n.d.), but Ann Meriydan and Kerry Starchuk, a pair of white women that petitioned for an altercation to Chinese signage, changed this outlook. In 2013, Meriydan and Starchuk received a thousand signatures on their petition and proposed the idea, of having at least two thirds of Richmond signage to contain at least one of Canada’s official languages.  Some community members have even backlashed Starchuk as a racist example of white privilege to which Starchuk claims she has no understanding of. She states that she has Chinese friends and that the first few people to sign her petition were Chinese (McMartin, 2013). Ben Grehels, a writer for Vancouver Weekly, states, in Sounding canadian: Language and asian canadian identity, how knowing French or English does not prove someone’s Canadianness. Instead, Grehels argues that the argument over bilingualism is a eurocentric idea that displaces Canadian values of inclusion and multiculturalism (2011, pp.75). Even Richmond city council members appeared to have disparity amongst each other as only non-Chinese members approved of the petition (“Chinese signs in richmond: Should there be a limit”, 2013). The mayor of Richmond, Malcolm Brodie rebutted stating that the proposal was treading on the Canadian Charter of Rights and had the possibility of being challenged in court (Campbell, 2017).  
Furthermore, once the actual, total amount of all Chinese signs in Richmond were tallied we found that only three signs in the entirety of Richmond had no English on them (“Chinese sign in richmond: City council rejects restrictions”, 2013). Since then signs in Richmond are obligated to have English on them as shown in Figure 1.
Tumblr media
Figure 1. Adapted from “Richmond 1: Epicentre of an unrivaled demographic explosion”, Douglas Todd, Jun 12, 2015, Retrieved from http://vancouversun.com/news/staff-blogs/richmond-epicentre-of-unprecedented-demographic-explosion
The businesses that use Chinese characters have chosen to appeal “to a defined demographic. Those who take offense at that, hiding behind the idea that it is somehow un-Canadian, or diminishes the capacity of immigrants to integrate, are feeling pain of being irrelevant in their own backyards, for the first time” (“Chinese only signs in Richmond: Should there be a limit?”, 2013). This outrage from Meriydan and particularly Starchuk, who has been more outspoken about the issue, is absolutely based on the inferiority they feel about seeing something that is not garnered to people like them in an environment where everything else is. As white women who only speak English, they will never understand the struggle of having to adapt to another culture or language since English is made out to be a universal language. Their white privilege enables them to comprehend the power and education they have received to have their language and customs set as the norm. They will not understand the feeling of oppression based on their appearance, name, or language. Starchuk’s decision to form the petition arouse once she was attempting to park in an area that had signs in all Chinese. The business that made the signs was the Richmond Chinese Seniors who made it to accommodate to seniors that do not speak English. To this Starchuk rebutted “‘well, I can’t read it and there’s not a parking spot for me’” (McMartin, 2013). She assumes that she is not welcome to park in front of establishment for elderly Chinese people when they do not even explicitly say that certain parking spaces are only for Chinese people that come to their establishment.  She feels more outrage towards the accommodation of an evergoing Chinese community in Richmond in which they can speak and read in their mother-tongue (McMartin, 2013). She segregates herself from everyone else that fails to speak English and claims that the existence of signs not in English or French goes against Canadian identity and cultural harmony since she is unable to understand what these signs mean (“Chinese only signs in Richmond: Should there be a limit?”, 2013).
On the other hand, the intended audience of these signs are not English speaking people, which may be hard for people like Starchuk to fathom. Instead, they are meant for individuals who do not understand English. A study of locational distribution of small and large ethnic businesses in a multiethnic city: Chinese in Toronto, Canada done by Eric Fong, Wehong Chen, and Chiu Luk analyzes what makes a Chinese business thrive within a large city such as Toronto, Canada. They mention a notable discrepancy between neighbors with a dominant ethnicity and a small business of another ethnicity as residents feel as if these businesses are threatening their job opportunities.  Yet, these small businesses manage to thrive despite the uproar as minority immigrants find that they are able to receive a standard of service which allows them to communicate in a language which they are able to understand. This is misinterpreted as a way of forming enclaves or secluding non-Chinese speaking individuals, when signs are meant to help communicate messages and meanings, but even the 2016 census of Richmond addresses the staggering disparity between the amount of French speaking individuals, 1,015, and Chinese speaking individuals, 88, 310 (Statistics Canada, 2016). Thus, if the majority of people are Chinese speaking and assuming that they are new immigrants in Canada, then they would also find it difficult to understand French as you are assuming that people in Richmond all have had the same formal Canadian education which subjects students to learn basic French and English.
Yet, Canada is meant to be a ‘multicultural’ society in which we embrace each others languages. Where do we draw the line in understanding, accepting another culture? Does this come down to our ability to morally comprehend certain cultural practices or our ability to communicate with people of another culture? If language is the case then, we might as well not allow anyone that does not understand English into Canada as they have failed to show their willingness to learn about our culture, but even the term Canadian culture seems quite ambiguous with Canadians themselves define Canadian culture as a ‘melting pot’ of different cultures that value democracy, freedom of speech, and inclusiveness. Immigrants and foreigners have been welcomed into Canada for decades as long as they adhere to Canadian ways of living and communicating, less for multiculturalism, and more so as a way  to make up for low national birth rates (Campbell, 2017).
Chinese settlers have not always been welcomed in Canada. There is a long history of racial tension with Chinese people; as early as 1885, where a head tax was enforced solely onto Chinese immigrants (Wang, Zong, & Li, 2012, p.213), which initially started out as $50 and then gradually increased to $500 til 1947 (Baird, 2017, p.2). Then later on in 1923 the Chinese Immigration Act or Chinese exclusion act was formed in order to rationalize racial exploitation of Chinese immigrants (Wang, Zong, & Li, 2012, p.213). They were seen as genetically inferior to their white counterpart, denied the right to vote, and their movement was restricted between Canada and China (Zong and Perry 2011; Statutes of Canada 1923; Li 1992, 1998 cited in Wang, Zong, & Li, 2012, p.212). Many immigrants had arrived at an early age from the lower class of Southern China with little to no work experience, and little education and knowledge of English (Wang, Zong, & Li, 2012, p.215). The Chinese were not and are still not recognized for their foreign work and skill set which attributes towards their downward occupational mobility. “They faced exclusion both in the state in the form of government policy, laws and practices, and in the public sphere in the form of people’s [racial] and cultural bias” (Zong and Perry 2011; Statutes of Canada 1923; Li 1992, 1998 cited in Wang, Zong, & Li, 2012, p.212). This helped shape how Canadian society perceived Chinese people as undesirable and unwelcome. Even besides the issue of Chinese signs in Richmond, there have been more recent acts of racist signs such as the one shown in Figure 2, which encompasses a recent racist sign posted in Steveston that claims Richmond to be a community built by only white settlers, as if there were no Chinese miners or railway workers back in the 1800s.

Furthermore, the intended audience of these signs are not English speaking people, which may be hard for people like Starchuk to fathom. Instead, they are meant for individuals who do not understand English. A study of locational distribution of small and large ethnic businesses in a multiethnic city: Chinese in Toronto, Canada. done by Eric Fong, Wehong Chen, and Chiu Luk analyzes what makes a Chinese business thrive within a large city such as Toronto. They mention a notable discrepancy between neighbors with a dominant ethnicity and a small business of another ethnicity as residents feel as if these businesses are threatening their job opportunities.  Yet, these small businesses manage to thrive despite the uproar as minority immigrants find that they are able to receive a standard of service which allows them to communicate in a language which they are able to understand. This is misinterpreted as a way of forming enclaves or secluding non-Chinese speaking individuals, when signs are meant to help communicate messages and meaning. Even the 2016 census of Richmond addresses the staggering disparity between 1,015 French speaking individuals and 88, 310 Chinese speaking individuals within the area (Statistics Canada, 2016).Thus, if people are unable to read English, assuming that they are new immigrants in Canada, then they would also find it difficult to understand French as you are assuming that people in Richmond all have had the same formal Canadian education which subjects students to learn basic French and English which is taught throughout the entirety of their education in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
The language used in Chinese signs are analyzed by how the text is interpreted by individuals that may or may not be able to read Chinese. Figure 3, for instance, is a clear example why not every sign should only be in English or should be written in English at all.
Tumblr media
Figure 3. Adapted from “Richmond sign seeking ’chinese’ sales person sparks debate”, Handout, July 12, 2017,  Retrieved from http://www.theprovince.com/news/local+news/richmond+sign+seeks+27chinese+sales+person/13704460/story.html
As this particular sign has caused a lot of controversy with Furnitureland outlet asking for a Chinese sales person, when they were actually looking for a Chinese speaking sales person, but their lack of understanding of English has led to bouts of people stating that this business only provides service for Chinese individuals. This has only fuelled stereotypical racist ideas that foreign immigrants are moving into Canada to steal jobs from Canadians.
In conclusion, Richmond is experiencing a racial disparity amongst Chinese and non-Chinese people. Signs that are made with no English or French on them are claimed to be non-Canadian and against cultural harmony even though they are made for people that only understand Chinese. Canada claims that it is accepting of immigrants and willing to embrace different cultures, in which there is an underlying understanding that everyone entering Canada must be able to understand English regardless of their education, but there has been little opportunities provided for new immigrants to learn English unless they are placed within the Canadian school system which only really applies towards the younger generation in elementary school and high school.

(This is a picture of my daughter at 8 months drooling over Dora the Explorer)
To answer the question "How do you understand the phrase 'Television and the Development of Youth'?" I'd have to refer to my experiences both as a parent and a former 1st grade teacher. When I think about children and television, the following words/phrases come to mind: brain-drain/captivation, colors, elementary learning, Sesame Street scenarios that teach values, and addiction. To briefly explain each concept that I've listed, I'll review them below:
Brain-drain: Often, when I watch kids watch tv I see them totally engulf themselves in it and forget everything around them. A child could literally consume an entire meal, have a tornado pass through their house, and ignore a fire-breathing dragon when their favorite show is on. I've always been intrigued by what it exactly could be that can hold their attention this way? Especially my students that were labeled ADD/ADHD but could focus on a Disney movie like their life depended on it.
Colors: When my daughter watches the Sprout or Nick Jr channel, I see a lot of orange, blue, and green but not in the typically stark, primary Crayola hues. I see lots of warm colors in the cartoons and I wonder what the producers think this does to the way that children perceive the programs?
Elementary learning: My daughter has learned a lot about moving her body, singing the alphabet, and a number of theme songs and Spanish language which undoubtedly is partially responsible for why she's so vocal and expressive and emotive. 
Sesame Street: I honestly feel that if an American adult did not watch this show as a child, then they seriously missed a critical stage in their development, lol. The way that many of us connected to the characters and grew up with them gave us something to believe in and hold on to through out life, which is why it's still up and running.
Addiction: Similar to the Internet's captivating power, television still has a way of not only drawing us in, but keeping us there. Marathons, 4 hour football games, and tons of commercials have made many Americans believe that they MUST have a tv...and it if it doesn't have cable then it's like staring at a rock. 
TV definitely helps to shape us into who we become, what we believe, and how we act. Many of us believe that we should imitate what we see on the tube, and the only way to intercept that mind-numbing influence is through parental involvement in the types of programs, length of watching time, and separation of tv versus reality.
