Our world is so enormous that all the land there is on the earth, is divided by individual countries. Each country has their flag, anthem and other items that make them unique as a entire country.
For instance, I believe that the Canadian flag is well known for the simplicity, its colours and the maple leaf. Three different columns divide it. Two of those columns have the exact same width and the same colour that are red. The other column is white and wider because it has the maple leaf on the center of the flag.
The way I view the Canadian flag is that is simple and easy to remember. The colours capture the attention of the citizen as well as people from other countries. The red portrays Canada as a country that has the determination, strength, power and love for everyone because Canada has shown these values to the world and its citizen. Canada offers a safe environment, which citizens can live calmly. It has the strength to make the country a place to feel home to everyone, this display the meaning of the red colour. On the other hand, the white colour represents the peace, safety and humility. Since Canada is a country where they open their doors to

One of my theories is that they want to represent one of the Canadian economies in their banner that is the maple syrup. The maple tree not only produces maple syrup, but as well produces wood, which creates numerous jobs in the country and the opportunity to export to other states. Moreover, the maple leaf portrays the equality of the provinces, since it is found in each province. These help each province to feel a part of the Canadian flag and keep the peacefulness between those provinces. My other theory why the maple leaf is red and no other colour is because when the winter is almost coming the leaf become red. In addition, this can portray Canada as a seasonal country, which shows the divergent weather that we have in
In 1965 Lester Pearson presented Canada 's new flag, in light of the fact that the Red Ensign was excessively British, making it impossible to be the image of advanced Canada. Numerous residents opposed for having another banner both for reasons of tradition and they were persuaded that Pearson was pressured into it and didn 't really need another banner. English Canadians needed to keep the Red Ensign yet on February 15, 1965, when Canada 's new banner was raised on Parliament Hill surprisingly, all that they were loaded with, was pride and affection. Pearson and the French Canadian needed another banner yet Diefenbaker and the Conservatives needed to keep the Red Ensign to demonstrate a tiny bit of British representation. So the Liberals
The flag represents the shared beliefs and values of all Canadians. Canadian’s are proud to be who they are: “[The Canadian Flag] will say proudly to the world and to the future ‘I stand for Canada’” (Archbold n.pag). This statement was Pearson’s goal, which in the end, he was able to successfully achieve. Canadians have a very unique sense of pride that is shown through their flag.
About! I got my color guard flag July 2nd 2017. My flag has a white pole and a blue silk known as the flag part. All of the guard members has the same flag as I do. In our shows we will use different flags that matches the theme of the show.
The present Canadian flag was officially adopted on February 15, 1965, after years of discussions, inquiries, and design submissions. The simplicity, originality, and powerful representation of Canadian identity in the design by George F. G. Stanley and John Matheson led to its selection. To summarize, the Canadian flag controversy had a lasting impact on Canadain politics. It gave Canadians an opportunity to rethink their sense of nationality and declare their independence from the British Empire. It also affected the dynamics among political parties, influenced Canada's position in international affairs, and served as a guide for other nations seeking to create their own unique national
The maker of the flag, William T. Thompson, stated, ¨As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; A white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause. Upon a red field would stand forth our southern cross, Gemmed, preserving in beautiful contrast the red white and blue.¨ So the flag was made to maintain white supremacy. The flag was also used in the American Civil War in the fight to sustain
The gold star was added to the service flag and had taken honor and is placed over the blue star. The service flag is the official banner authorized by the department of defense by the families or the members that are serving or in the armed forces. There is a day that the flag gets older and older. So every year we celebrate a day called Flag Day.
At first, it was used during Civil war battles and was a memorial to fallen soldiers who had died fighting for their independence. If this was how it was received now, no one would have a problem with it, but as time went on, the perception of the flag started to change. In the 1940s, a Dixiecrat party was formed and they used the flag as a symbol to support segregation. Confederate heritage organizations tried to protect the flag from misuse by having several Southern states pass laws to penalize “desecration” of the flag, but this did not help. Confederate heritage groups lost control of the flag and its real
The Stars and Bars was designed to distinctively to be arranged and colored. Identifying the different unions between the North and South, identifying exactly which side they fought for. In the beginning (1861) the flag was designed in the shape of a rectangle, striped in two bright bold red stripes with one large white
The American Flag can be interpreted in many ways, for people have different point of views of the flag. I personally am very proud of the flag. I interpreted the flag as a sign of courage, pride, and hard work. One way I interpret the flag is that it is a sign of courage. Courage because the soldier or the people who died fighting for America fought with courage.
240 years ago the United States Flag became the symbol of North America. June 14, 1777, the first American flag was adopted. This original flag consisted of thirteen stars in a circle representing the thirteen states at the time. Betsy Ross sewed this during the American Revolution. The processes and steps that were taken to create the United States Flag, figuratively helped sew our country together by creating a sense of strength and unity.
The colors of the flag all having different meanings and represent freedom, pride, and justice. Many people only pay attention to the colors of the flag but forget about the stars and stripes, they have significant meanings also. The stripes represent the 13 colonies in the United States and the stars represent the 50 states. When the Founding Fathers were trying to put together a seal for the United States
It was first raised at the Capitol and is a sign of Colonial Unity. This means being united or joined together. The symbols on this flag are the Union Jack located in the left corner which is Great Britain’s flag. The rest of the flag consists of six white stripes and seven red stripes
In my opinion, I would say that California’s flag has the best design because there are no other flags that look similar to it. The California flag is white with a thick horizontal red stripe on the bottom, a red star on its right side and a grizzly bear on green grass. The Texas flag’s design contains one blue vertical stripe that has a width equal to one-third the length of the flag with a five-pointed star located in the center of the blue stripe and the two equal horizontal stripes,the upper stripe white, the lower stripe red, and each having a length equal to two-thirds the length of the flag. Its bold colors are easy to distinguish and its design is very clean making it easy to picture its details. Although the Texas flag is easy to see from afar, it could be easily mistaken by Chile’s national flag and so in my opinion lacks that unique design.
The world’s second biggest country has received a similar second ranking in terms of being ranked the greatest country in the world. The country, of course, is Canada. Canada, for a long time, has been considered one of the best countries in the world to live in as it welcomes immigrants, has a rich diverse culture for every nationality, free medical expenses, and of course , the Niagara Falls. A quote from an article from the Toronto Star said, “….. [Canada] draws some of its national identity from its expansive wilderness, has pronounced a long list of accomplished writers and artists, and is a high-tech industrial society with a high standard of living.”
This is also connected because it reminds me where my family is from. My culture is based around this flag because it makes me who I am. It’s important to me because it came from my great grandparents who passed it down so we know where our
