In some instances, community refers to a geographically defined space (e.g., a prairie community, the town of Willow Bunch in Saskatchewan).  \nconsensus: the achievement of agreement through a process of communication in which all parties affected by a decision have equal power and equal voice. Consensus is achieved when: all parties to a decision have been thoroughly consulted; all parties have been given all available information on the matter; adequate time for reflection has been provided; debate has been conducted ina manner respectful to all parties; and there is common agreement on a plan of action. Consensus may, under some circumstances, provide for the recording of dissenting opinions.  \nculture: the collective beliefs, values, socially transmitted behaviours and traditions, language, arts, and other human endeavours considered to be characteristic of a particular community, period, or people.  \ndemocratic ideals: pertain to rule by the people, including ideals that favour: citizen voice and participation in government; the principle of equality of rights, opportunity, and treatment of citizens; equity and justice; freedom of expression, opinion, belief, and association; the principle of the rule of law; and balance between individual and collective responsibilities and rights.  \nFirst Nations: “a term that came into common usage in the 1970s to replace the word ‘Indian,’ which many people found offensive. Although the term First Nation is widely used, no legal definition of it exists. Among its uses, the term ‘First Nations peoples’ refers to the Indian people in Canada, both Status and Non-Status. Many Indian people have also adopted the term ‘First Nation’ to replace the word ‘band’ in the name of their community.” (Indian and Northern Affairs Canada)  \nFirst Peoples: a collective term used to describe the inhabitants of the land now known as Canada prior to European contact.  \nglobalization: the integration and interdependence of economies and cultures around the world through trade and financial flows across national boundaries and through the movement and exchange of people, knowledge, culture, and technologies.  \nhistorical consciousness: how people today think about and understand the past, as well as how they use this understanding to inform their actions in the present and their plans for the future. Historical consciousness may be individual or collective, and may or may not reflect accurate factual knowledge or defensible historical interpretations.  \nKindergarten to Grade 8 Social Studies Glossary  \nhumanism: a belief system based on the inherent dignity and worth of human beings and their potential for selffulfillment and morality independent of religious doctrine.  \nindigenous peoples: a term used worldwide to identify the original people of all countries, such as Aboriginal peoples in Canada.  \ninterdisciplinary: an approach that connects interdependent skills, knowledge, and values from more than one subject area to examine a central theme, issue, problem, topic, or experience; an interdisciplinary approach stresses connections between concepts and across disciplines.  \nInuit: “an Aboriginal people in northern Canada, who live above the tree line in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Northern Quebec and Labrador. The word means ‘people’in the Inuit language—Inuktitut. The singular of Inuit is Inuk.” (Indian and Northern Affairs Canada)  \ninuk","cbCaicbp2MGfOzEU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicbp2MGfOzEU","pdf",17118,"English","# Glossary\n## Core Terms and Definitions\n## People, Culture, and Identity\n## Civic Concepts and Governance\n## Globalization and Historical Understanding\n## Geography and Community","[{\"question\":\"What does the glossary aim to do?\",\"answer\":\"It clarifies the meanings of words and expressions as they are used in the social studies document.\"},{\"question\":\"How are consensus and democratic ideals defined?\",\"answer\":\"Consensus is described as agreement reached through communication with equal power and voice, after consultation and reflection.
