To Banish or Not to Banish?

While Cole was banished to a remote Alaskan island as a consequence for his actions, banishment is not widely used in Canada, and it appears that banishment has never been used as a consequence for a young Canadian who has committed a crime. Think back to your earlier classroom discussions on banishment, and consider the events of Touching Spirit Bear.

Then answer the following questions about the use of banishment:

1. What types of location would be suitable in Canada for banishment? What are the benefits and drawbacks of the locations which you have chosen?
2. Why do you think there has yet to be an instance of a young Canadian being banished?
3. Overall, do you think banishment for youth is a good idea? Why or why not?

Answer each question in a short paragraph (three total) and this time include an appropriate image.
