This weeks Blog discussion has two parts:
Part A: The 1920's say the coming of age of Canadian artists with the Group of Seven gaining international recognition for their images of the rugged Canadian landscapes. Since this time Canadian artists, musicians, writers and performers of all types have continued to gain international recognition for their work. Today Canadians such as The Tragically Hip, Mike Myers, Leonard Cohen and Jim Carrey are household names throughout the world for their work in the arts and entertainment industries.
Who is your favorite Canadian artist (this includes musicians, actors etc) and how do you think their work gives Canadians a sense of national pride?
Part B: The twenties in Canada saw an upswing in the economy that meant Canadians were searching for was to spend their "extra" money and fill their leisure time. As a result the 1920's gave birth to a number of "fads" that became wildly popular only to pretty much disappear in a few short years. Take a look at the following video to get a better sense of 20's entertainment.
The Flappers
The Jazz Age
What types of popular activities today do you think may turn out to be just "fads. Personally, while they called the 1920's the Roaring Twenties, I think they may end up calling the 2000's the iPod 2000's.
Do not forget to finish your post with your initials and the period of your socials class or else I cannot give your credit for your response.

My favourite Canadian is Jim Carrey because he is a verry good actor. Most people in the world now him and that he is Canadian, so they respect Canadas art and entertainment more.
Activities today that might turn out to be fads are: video games, mp3s, different types of clothing, and trading cards.

My favorite Canadian actor is Jim Carry i think he gives canadians a good sense of pride because he is a great actor.He usually plays funny roles in movies but he can also play serious and for canadians to know he is a canadian may make them feel good.

Part A:
My favorite Canadian singer is
Eva Avila. I think that being the winner of Canadian Idol in 2006 shows that she represents national pride.
Part B:
I think that ipods are definatly a fad. But over all I think technology is a huge part of teens lifes. I would say that cell phones are bigger than ipods. If they were to do a stat I would say that at least 1/3 teens have a cell. Text messaging is the biggest form of communication for teens. MSN would be the next biggest, every way that teens communicate today involve technology. The 2000's may end up being called Age of the cell phones.
My favourite Canadian actor is Jim Carrey because he is really funny and is amazing at what he does. He is a canadian known world wide and everybody loves him and they love watching his films. In my opinion many good actors are american so its nice knowing that an awsome actor like Jim Carrey is canadian!!!

I personally have no favorite artist, I do have a few favorite music artists, but they are japanese and have little or no relation in canada...
The new fad of today, would be known as the Technical Era, technology is barely at it's peak and continues to grow, ipods get smaller and carry more music then one person really needs, cellphones although make and take calls are slowly but surely losing their purpose and are being used for things far from making calls like listening to music, taking pictures, and watching videos, the era that is slowly growing and will become the new fad, will continue to grow and grow until humanity is consumed by it's own creation, kinda like the Matrix... there is a fifty-fifty chance we will be able to live normal lives when the Era of technology reaches it's peak.
Jay Dee, period 1
My favourite canadian actor is Tommy Chong because he is the sweetest hippy ever. He gives canadians national pride because he is a successful at being a loser and gives other losers hope. I think one of today's fads are guitar hero as lame as that is, it'll end up disappearing soon though.
I think Jim Carrey is my favorite Canadian because he is awell-known and respected actor,that brings entertainment to many households around the world. The activities that may become fads are ipods, xbox's, wiis, cell phones, crocs, psps, and ps3s.

Bryan Adams and Emm Gryner are the best Canadian artists. They are singers who proudly bring there music out for us. Canadians need recognition for there music just like Americans. Bryan Adams being the better known of the two...
They both give us, as Canadians, wonderful artists and a proud feeling to say, 'those are our artists.'
Having a Canadian artist that is worldly known is a great feeling for Canadians because we can be recognised as more then just hockey loving outdoors types. (though I don't mind that too much.)
Fads for our time will be things such as; headphones with wires. They will make something that is wireless and that will completely wipe out wire headphones. Or portable DVD players. Ipod videos will completely take over that front soon.

Jim Carrey is one great Canadian Actor. I have to say he is y favorite because he is in many movies such as, The Grinch, Ace Ventura, Number 23. He is a great success in the acting business. I hope he is in more great movies to make Canada proud.
I think that i-pods and mp3 players may be a new fad because you see everyone with them. listening to their music while they are playing sports, or riding the bus, or doing work and everyone i know has one. It is the fad of 2000.

my favorite canadian is celine dione because well i am related to her
yeah ipods are a big fad and almost everybody has one, but they are not the biggest "thing". Now almost every teenager has a cell phone. Text messaging is the way teens communicate when there not together. In my opinion people will remember the 2000's and the time of the cell phones.

My favourite Canadian is Tim Hortons and he is the only Canadian that i know! He was a good Hockeyplayer and he opened the cofe-company *Tim Hortons*
He died in a car accident and after this event *Tim Hortons* became famous. You are a real Canadian, if you go to *Tim Hortons*

I can't think of my favourite Canadian artist right now because my absolute favourite band is the Beatles and ... they're not Canadian.
Part B:
Yeah, I think ipods and cellphones will be what we're remembered for. There's just too many everywhere. Or our internet. How we have MSN and all that other kind of junk where we can be talking to a person on the other side of the world is kind of weird too.

My favorite Canadian would have to be well i don't got one. But I do have a couple favorite bands from Canada: Mariana's Trench, Faber Drive, and Three Days Grace. They haven't done anything significant, but I like the music :-P. Things today that are basicly just fads are: iPods, MP3s, game systems (PSP, PS3, XBox360, Wii...etc), Certain fashions (the "emo" look).
SB
My favorite Canadian is Shawn Drover, the drummer of Megadeth and well known guitarist. He's been drumming since he was thirteen years old and was born in Montreal. The fad that i think will die out is the "emo" fashion. Black, poofy hair and two inches of makeup dressed it bright stripes and polka dots. I hope it dies sooner than later though....

Flight sargeant Dawson: aka my favorite Canadian. And maybe he ant famous but then what is fame? being well known and liked by people.isnt it. so what maybe you dont know him or the next. But it is often the real heros that do not get the spotlight-maybe thats why...
the age of technology. ipods are increasing popular in todays world and I am lead to believe that that will never go away. But the fad will never change it is one circle that never ends.
fashion-will always be the "fad" being skinny-wearing tight clothes-emos-peircings-smoking and drugs-are fads of today. Ignoring is cool-asking questions is dumb- following the crowd and failing is smart. yah well Ill never be like you. Im Bex. I want to play soccer and be in my band. i want to be different. I want to pass my classes- I hate those who drop out. People who fail make me sick. I hate drugs and Im never going to smoke.
fads.what are fads? Im Bex and I can do anything. Fads suck! because their stupid and put people down. they cause more problems and dont solve anything.
part A:
I think my favorite candian actress is Pamela Anderson. Mainly because she is really good looking and gives canada a good sense of pride for that. I love baywatch
part B:
i think that Ipods are a huge fad in todays standards but cellphones are huge in every teens life. Most teens send up to 1000 text a month and seem usless without them. All in all the 2000's will be the year of technology.

I think we all remebered computers. years ago nobody have a computer and people had to meet each other. Mow you communicated over the internet and phones. and if you don`t know something about stuff than you always can go in the internet and check these things.
In the past you had to go to libaries and sign out books and read them.

My favorite Canadian actor is Jim Carrey. He is hilarious and it shows that Canada has a great sense of humour. Another great singer that is Canadian is Bryan Adams. His music is inspirational and he has a great voice. He is old but whatever:)
Part B. I think the greatest fad is the ipod or mp3 player it is just amazing how many songs you can put on there. It is so nice to be able to listen to music wherever you want. It helps some kids when ther feeling down or need help. I love being able to listen to music whenever I want.

I would have to say that my favorite canadian artist would be 3 Inches of Blood, a canadian metal band from vancouver. One of the band members is actually from P.G, which is pretty sweet.
Off the top of my head I'd say that texting is one of the current big fads. Half the time it's just easier to phone the person, but people text them anyways.

1.well..... i don't have any actors that come to mind, reason i don't now any....but chris russells supposedly canadian, funniest comedian to live....
2.well obvious fads are cellphones, mp3's, and computers.It's all technology that's convinient for our amusement...cell phones, that sh*ts gonna die out....mp3's, only if they can make something better (what could beat cramming hundreds of songs on a portable)...and video games, thats just not gonna go. Video games have been around longer then your parents could probably remember....
but the whole thing with the little add-ons like cameras, skins, sheet like that. It's unneccessary but 1st world earthlings love it. that's more about materialism though......

My favorite Canadian artist is Avril Lavigne because she is a great role model to all the young girls in Canada.
I think a fad of today is th iPod.
Everyone has one, and now they are made to do everything, from storing music to pictures and videos. They are a great thing to have. iPods may turn out to be 'just fads'.

My favorite Canadian artist is Shania twain because she came from like a really small town in ontario and now is known all throughout the world...i dont think there is a person out there who doesnt know who shania twain is and kind of shows people that no matter where you live you can do great things.
Part B
I think the biggest fad is cell phones because everyone has one, there is kids in like grade 2 or 3 that have cell phones, slowly i think cell phones will because less expensive and people will not really care about them anymore but for now...you cant walk anywhere without seeing someone on a cell phone its kinda sad really....i think video games are also a fad...a stupid fad though because they are pointless and ruin your mind.

My favorite Canadian is Justin Morneou. He was born in BC so he is well know over the province. He is one of the top players in the MLB.This gives Canadians a sense of pride becasue baseball is an American dominated sport and for a candian player to be among the top is amazing.
Part B:
Activities and things that will more than likely turn out to be fads include such things as ipods, cellphones. Cellphones have become very popular ever since they added in the text messaging and the Music players in thm. MSN is a very popular thing for teens these days. It lets you chat ad make plans with friends throughout all over the world. You can now even get MSN on your cell phones. This is the techonology age so many items such as the few named will become fads soon enough.

My favorite canadian artist's would have to be the band Alexisonfire, because there music is amazing, and there actully talented singer, especially Dallas Green, and i aslo like the actors that come form small Canadian tv shows and make it big, because it shows that they have talent. Personaly I think that not many activities are fads, its just that as you get older you slowly grow out of things. Things that are fads right now are things like certian "fashion statements"....if thats what they want to call it, and certain looks, sucha s the emo fad or the gangster fad. The more fads you follow the more you look like everyone else,a dn then youi just look dumb.

Part A:
My favorite actor is Jim Carry. He can play any role he puts his mind to, serious, funny or just drama. He is amazing at what he does. It's nice knowing we have a good canadian actor because most of the good actors are american. I also think Mike Myers is really good and hes canadian. He directs movies, writes them and acts in them. Like his Austin Powers movies he plays 3 characters or more. That is talent.
Part B:
I think that the 2000's are the age of cellphones. Almost every teenager has one. Text messaging is so popular. Teens favourite thing to do on a cell phone is text. I think msn is also very popular. Anything to do with being able to talk with friends and family. Ipods are popular too but they always come out with something defferent. So technology is the 2000's. My opinion people will remember the 2000's as the year of cell phones.

My favorite canadian would have to be wayne grestsky. He is one of the best hockey players ever to play in the NHL and he comes from good old canada. they even have a street named after him in Edmonton. this really put canada out the map for hockey and made it a big part of our culture.
part b
the biggest fads of today will have to be the ipod, cell phones, and piercings. Everybody has at least one of these things. We use cell phones and ipods as if they are a neccesitiy to life, and text messaging is usually the only way i communicate with my friends outside of school.
My favorite famous Canadian is Leslie Nielsen, he is a good actor and his movies always make me laugh. Actors and singers give Canada a sense of pride because they do their best so that people can enjoy themselves, either watching one of their movies or listening to their music.
I think cell phones and ipod's are the biggest fad's for today. Almost everyone has them. Not long ago everyone had MP3 players, now everyone has ipod's. Soon something newer and better than ipods will come out and instead of ipods everyone will have them.
L.B., Blk 2
I really appreciate Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling as great actors of Canadian heritage. Mike Meyers, and Jim Carrey for one are legends in their own right. Even though Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are young actors, they have already proven to be amazing talents, and all that combines in giving Canada an even bigger sense of national pride.
I think everything popular at one point turns out to be a fad. Phones, pictures, texting, ipods, all have phases, then on to the next thing so to speak. Something new and improved is invented everyday. Even though I'm sure we will move on from all the latest technology, some things might stick.

I'd have to agree with most people, and say that Jim Carrey is my favorite Canadian actor. He is well known for his comedy, but has recently starred in more serious films. He is widely known for his movies, and I feel that this gives Canada a sense of pride.
I would have to say that activities today that might turn out just to bet fads
are Ipods, Cellphones and Video Games. However, with technology advacing the way it is, there will be a new fad(s) soon enough.

(A)
Who is your favorite Canadian artist (this includes musicians, actors etc) and how do you think their work gives Canadians a sense of national pride?
My favourite Canadian artist is Jim Carrey, because I like his funny movies, but when I say the truth I didn't know before he was canadian. I think it's bad for Canada's "Publicity" that everybody thinks all those famous people were American. In Germany, I think, almost nobody knows that Nickelback, Sum 41, Avril Lavigne,... is from Canada.
(B)
What types of popular activities today do you think may turn out to be just "fads. Personally, while they called the 1920's the Roaring Twenties, I think they may end up calling the 2000's the iPod 2000's.
I think that everything improves so fast today that there will maybe not be one special name like the Ipod 2000's but maybe something like "years of great improve" because all this "new" technical stuff is after two or three months old and slow.
But as a fad (i'm not realy sure what it means) I think the Ipod is a good example and maybe the super fast internet, now everybody wants to have it but it will become very normal.

My favorite Canadians would have to be the Mackenzie brothers. They have their own tv show, and they have made their own movies. They are truly proud Canadians. I think that they are totally amazing :)

I think that Jim Carrie is definintally the Canadian that I am most proud of. He is really funny and is known all over the world, and I am proud to say that he can from here.
Part B
I think that in a decade or so everything like the ipod and cell phones will seem like a fad because there is always something better that comes along.
My favourite canadian is Terry Fox because he was a man with miles and miles of heart that never gave up. He is a true symbol for canadian people to never give up.Even when his cancer started to really effect him he kept running thats amazing in my mind.
D.C.
My favourite canadian musicians is
Neil Young because hes one of the best musicians ever.He was born in toronto novemeber 12 1945.He is internationally known and has a heavy focus on politics in his songs.
I beleive one of the biggest fads these days are video games its going to die out soon though.
A.Z.C
I think cellphones in general are a Huge fad because they are just going to keep coming up with new things to add on them and new accessories.They could just add more mega pikels to the cameras and more detail to the video and consumers will just come crawling back.
D.C.
My favourite Canadian artist is Kenny Shields, the voice of Streetheart. From a little town in Saskatchewan he toured with Roy Orbison, among others, before Streetheart was formed. He worked in the music industry for over 35 years, he and the rest of streetheart were conducted in the Western Canadian Music Association Hall of Fame in 2003. Incase your not aware Streethearts a pretty big band, Kenny Shields represents Canadian talent.
I think websites like myspace, facebook, you name it are all a big fad. It's mostly a teenage time passer, but sadly my own mother and grandmother have also joined the boat. It's big, everyones doing it, but i think eventually the internet will provide another time killer that will put these pages in the past. Or maybe we'll find something to do with our time...

I don't really have a favourite Canadian actor. I do like Emily Carr's paintings though. She took a liking to Native arts and started studying the totem poles and what they ment. I think its good that she took such an interest in First Nations cultures and how she does her paintings is very unique. I think she gives Canadians a sense of national pride by taking time to draw how beautiful canada is and showing poeple what they are missing.

I have many favorite Canadian musicians and actors. One of my favorite canadian bands is Three Days Grace, thirer music really appeals to me. Seeing them in an interview they are very down to earth and proud to be from Canada.Alot of the their music is controversial but they arent afraid to write about what actually happens in some peoples lives and what they have been through. I also like Sam Roberts. He shows a definite pride in his country. Billy Talent is also another band that i like. Alot like Three Days Grace they write and sing about the problems that some teenagers go through in high school and suicide which can really have an affect on teens these days.
Part B
This day and age would be the advanced way of communication and technology. We have ipods and music players that are very small and some can hold up to 30,000 songs, plays videos, and hold pictures. Cell phones can take pictures, go on the internet, used for text messaging and still the basic calling other people.
Most teens have both of these and we are very technology orintaited.

Part A: My favorite Canadian actor would have to be Mike Myers. He is hilarious and an extremely good actor. There are alot of American actors, so it's nice to see a great Canadian actor. He is talented, and gives Canadians a sense of hope and pride about being a Canadian.

Part A:
My favourite Canadian comedian/actor has to be Jim Carrey.He plays a lot of very good and hilarious roles(well none latley)but he also plays a lot of serios roles which shows his flexibility as an actor. I think he gives Canadians a good name for all the people down in america and other countries that don't know much about Canada.
Part B: I think the Ipod is definetly a fad, it may be on top now but it will die soon. Because sooner or later some other companie(Sony,Microsoft,ect.)will come out with something bigger and better and it will make the Ipod obsolete.Or the iPod will keep making improvments to the ipod and turn it in to a small computer with a 100GB or something like that.

I think ipods and cellphones will turn out to be just 'fads.' I remember when i thought not having my cellphone was the end of the world but now...i dont really need one so much i came to realize. I dont think ipods and cellphones will be that popular, we're not allowed to even use them at shcool anymore..i bet in the next 2 years if an ipods even seen at school it will be confinscated.

Part A: My favourite Canadian would have to be Jim Carrey. He is a great actor and is recognised as a Canadian, which is rare in the entertainment world. He has made a good name for himself as well as Canadians, and is someone to be proud of.
Part B: A fad that I think will go out soon is the ipod. Technology is always evolving at it won't be long before they come out with something new, better, and more expensive, which is part of the appeal. Cell phones will probably go out in much the same way, but probably not for a longer period of time. The era that is technology will never stopm developing and so there will always be a new fad in the world.

The difference between propaganda and advertisment is that propaganda completely stretches the entire truth to make people believe that something is totally positive and great when in actuallity its not where oppose to advertisement only sometimes bends the truth a little but usually is quite honest and is only trying to get more consmers.

Part B: I think pretty much everyone else covered all the fads haha:). But i think clothes is a big because they change so much and so many different clothes go out of style so fast.

My favourite prime minister was pierre trudeau because he did more for canada than any other in my life time.

Tom Thompson is way better than Emily Carr paintings are better and he was more of a true canadian, he was an outdoorsman he was an expert canoeist( one of the oldest canadian way of traveling) and he diead a mysterious death. how can you get better than that? The only draw back was he died before he could actually make it inpart ofr the group of 7 he was and is the greatest canadian artist. E.L.
My favorite Canadian is Steve Nash. He is the first Canadian to ever get the MVP for the National Basket League. This is very inspiring to me to no that canadians can accomplsh something like this
C.M. block C
My Favourite Canadian is Rachel McAdams because she always gives the right touch in the movies she is in such as the Notebook. I think she gives Canadians a good sense of pride because she does her job well and people know she is Canadian.
I think ipods are just a fad, that people are so interested right now because its the new thing to have. But in the Future ipods will become old news and some other electronic will come that will be much better. Things that might turn out to be just fads are, mp3s, manga and different kinds of clothes and cell phones.

My favorite Canadian artist is Emily Haines. Although not born in Canada she was raised and still lives here. She has an amzing voice and is taking music to another place not just conforming with the pop bands today. She gives Canadians a sense of nationalism because she is so talented, people go 'I know of her! She comes from my country!'.
The biggest fad of today must be the 'crocs' extremly hideous, and extremely useless.

Canadian actor Jim Carrey is a personal favorite worldwide and a great example for Canadian pride. This actor/performer has gone so far in his career and gained so much recognition all around that he is a proud representative for our country.
I find it very interesting how much trends go in and out of style. They getso wrapped up in peoples mind that they will do anything to get in that "fad" and spend ridiculous amounts of money. I am curious to find out what the next trend will be in 20 years from now; what kind of fascinating invention they will come out with that everyone and their dog will want one. They may eventually call our decade of the millenium (2000's) the "technology advancement decade". Because so many new electronics have been made and added to over the past to make them better and more efficient in the last 5 years.

My favorite Canadian is Pauline Johnson because she wrote poetry and ballads about her people. She faced discrimination against the European society. Pauline became a very popular,famous,legendary figure in Canadian history. The songs she sang and the poetry she wrote was only about her people.

My favourite canadian actor is Mike Myers because he is a talented and hilarious actor. He plays in movies like Austin Powers, Wayne's World and Shrek. Mike Myers' work gives canadians national pride because in movies he can play more than one character and not many actors/actresses can do that successfully. He helps the world appreciate Canadian Arts and Entertainment more.
Activities from today that might become fads will be video games like X-box and cell phones.

A. My favourite Canadian actor is Seth Rogen because he is an amazing actor. He's starred in many films and has successfully completed them. He is also well known for his stand-up comedies, and television series. For a Canadian actor, Seth has come a long ways with his career and we definitely can't wait for more of his great work.
B. I believe iPods are and will proceed to be the major fad of the 2000's. Technology continues to grow day by day, as do iPods. They become smaller, more compact, and are able to occupy more space for music, videos, and games. In my opinion, the iPods and iPod phones will be the key fad of the 2000's.

Part A
Kevin James LaBrie is one of my favorite Canadian vocalists who is the lead singer in a progressive metal band called Dream Theater. The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater's members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Dream Theater is one of the most actively bootlegged bands in the progressive metal genre. Since their very first gigs in New York as Majesty, fans have recorded almost every single show that Dream Theater have played, and some very elaborate and professional recordings have been released. This band is recognized universally and their talent gives Canada a strong sense of metal pride.
Part B
There are many activities today that may turn in to fads. iPods may be replaced with another device just like ghetto blasters were replaced by iPods. However, people will always listen to music, that’s a fad that will never go away. I think it’s ridiculous that people compete by spending tons of money on 80 gig iPods, who is ever going to listen to that much music in there life. This has become a fad of the 2000’s along with divorce, abortion, same sex marriage, the capability of the internet and cell phones. I do believe that eventually these things will go away or become less popular in our society.

Jim Carrey, he's a grand actor, and very funny. Many people know he is a canadian, and im proud to have him represent our country.
I think our clothing is changing all the time. Skinny jeans are coming back from the past, so i thin our next step is to copy the 90's.
I dont thin iopds are gonna be a fad as they keep coming out with newer and better ones, and hey lets face it everybody wants their music
