The term "cultural mosaic" reflects Canadian social ideology regarding multiculturalism. Unlike a "melting pot" that emphasizes blending and abandonment of cultural heritage, a cultural mosaic describes a society in which cultural groups live and work together maintaining their unique heritages while being included in the larger fabric of society. 2, record 1, English, - cultural%20mosaic

As waves of immigrants came to the United States, they were confronted by attempts to force them to conform to American values. The two routes to assimilation were Anglo-conformity and the melting pot. Anglo-conformity was part of an Americanization process whereby immigrants sought to adopt and emulate the values of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants. 2, record 2, English, - Anglo%2Dconformity

The pot is a small-bore plunger cylinder without a torpedo. The two cylinders are connected by a valve. When the valve is open, the melting or plasticizing cylinder pushes the material into the nozzle end of the pot, forcing the plunger back. When the plunger moves back an experimentally predetermined distance, the filling stops and the valve is closed, because the backward motion of the plunger actuates a limit switch. At the appropriate time in the cycle the material is injected into the mold from the second cylinder, the so-called shooting cylinder or pot. 2, record 8, English, - injection%20cylinder
