    Understanding Canadas Social Norms and Roles

    My family and I spent a few years settling into Canadian society. It is far different than life in Venezuela. At my childhood birthday party, we held a 6 hour party as that is the norm for us, but everyone only stayed for 2-3 hours because Canadian society is so different.

    When the coronavirus pandemic hit our entire world was flipped upside down. I stopped being able to see my friends, the school became completely online and we were all isolated from one another. To maintain ourselves as a society we had to evolve and change the way we interacted, through technology.
