Vancouver is a major city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2021 census recorded 662,248 people in the city, up from 631,486 in 2016. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,642,825 in 2021, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,400 people per square kilometre. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 72 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 88.9 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 80.6 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups. Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in Canada and in the world. In terms of housing affordability, Vancouver is also one of the most expensive cities in Canada and in the world.[15] Vancouver plans to become the greenest city in the world. Vancouverism is the city's urban planning design philosophy. Indigenous settlement of Vancouver began more than 10,000 years ago, and the city is on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh (Burrard) peoples. The beginnings of the modern city, which was originally named Gastown, grew around the site of a makeshift tavern on the western edges of Hastings Mill that was built on July 1, 1867, and owned by proprietor Gassy Jack. The original site is marked by the Gastown steam clock. Gastown then formally registered as a townsite dubbed Granville, Burrard Inlet. The city was renamed "Vancouver" in 1886, through a deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended to the city by 1887. The city's large natural seaport on the Pacific Ocean became a vital link in the trade between Asia-Pacific, East Asia, Europe, and Eastern Canada. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, APEC Canada 1997, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; several matches of 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup including the finals at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver,[18] and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 1969, Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver. The city became the permanent home to TED conferences in 2014. As of 2016, Port Metro Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While Money Laundering remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North"

The most successful people may not always have the most talent, the highest test scores or an Ivy League degree, but they do have a way with words. They speak differently – to others, to themselves, even in how they communicate through their appearance. And one of the best skills they master is the art of navigating a difficult conversation. While most people fret and sweat over saying something uncomfortable, they seem to effortlessly broach topics that get others stuck. But how? Here are six things successful people do differently when they have something hard to say: Plan it out. Think about the outcome you want from the conversation. Then stay focused so you don’t get distracted by emotions. Write your key points. Decide how you want to say them. How do you want to end the conversation? Have compassion. Speak with respect and kindness. See it from the other side, not just your own. What is it that they want? What are they feeling? Acknowledge those things. Hard conversations don’t have to be ugly. Telling the truth can be done with compassion. Get it over with. The worse thing about having something difficult to say is the temptation to delay saying it! Don’t delay. Stop avoiding the obvious. The longer you wait, the more stress. Conversation gives release and relief. Talk more than you type. Don’t hide behind a keyboard. Have a face to face (or phone conversation if in-person isn’t realistic) conversation. Nothing can replace the back-and-forth interaction, tone, body language and other nuances that texts and emails simply cannot convey. Know that listening is a form of speaking. When you allow others to feel heard, you speak volumes to them about their value in your eyes. Yes, you have points to make and you should not skirt around them. But listen, too. Question your fear. Most people get stuck and delay tough conversations because of fear. Fear pops up and they just stop. Paralysis. Fear is not a stop sign. Question it. What are you afraid will happen if you have this conversation? How will you handle that? How might you have the conversation and minimize an unwanted outcome? In other words, be resilient. Face the fear. And make a plan to deal with it. But refuse to allow it to silence you. My challenge to you this week: Stop procrastinating. Speak up. Get it out. #hardtosay #somethinghardtotell ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHKUisMiWDc

It's crucial to approach these perspectives with a critical mindset and consider the broader context. Money itself is a neutral tool that can be used for both positive and negative purposes. The ethical implications arise from how individuals and societies choose to pursue and utilize wealth. Many people use money responsibly and ethically to improve their lives and contribute positively to society. Obsession and Greed: Some argue that an excessive desire for wealth and material possessions can lead to unethical behavior and moral degradation. The pursuit of money at any cost, driven by greed, may cause individuals to compromise their principles, leading to actions that are harmful to themselves and others. Inequality and Exploitation: Money can contribute to societal imbalances, where a small percentage of the population controls a significant portion of the wealth. This wealth disparity may result in the exploitation of the less privileged, leading to social unrest, crime, and a breakdown of ethical behavior. Corruption and Bribery: In some cases, the pursuit of financial gain can lead to corruption and bribery. Individuals may engage in unethical practices to amass wealth, undermining the integrity of institutions and systems. This can result in a society where dishonesty is normalized, potentially leading to theft and other criminal activities. Dehumanization: The relentless pursuit of money can sometimes dehumanize individuals, reducing them to mere economic units. This dehumanization may contribute to a lack of empathy and compassion, making it easier for people to justify unethical actions such as theft or exploitation. Materialism and Consumerism: The emphasis on material possessions and consumerism in a society driven by money can lead to a distorted set of values. People may prioritize wealth and possessions over personal relationships, mental well-being, and ethical considerations, potentially contributing to a culture where immoral actions are more likely to occur. money, ethics, wealth, inequality, corruption, greed, materialism, consumerism, morality, societal imbalance, exploitation, societal values, dehumanization, societal consequences, Anti-Christ, philosophical perspectives, economic ethics, financial well-being, social unrest, crime, judgment, personal values, pursuit of wealth, bribery, dishonesty, cultural values, ethical behavior, moral degradation, material possessions, economic disparities, wealth distribution, responsible money management ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgEhs_cPvn0
