Provincial Norms Essay

Improved Essays
I agree that the provincial norm would have more power in places like a church. For instance, if I go to a church (which is rarely) I know that I have to dress appropriately, if I want to fit in (I do not want people staring at me). Therefore, following the norms of a local place is a rational and effective step to take, since we do not want to become outcasts. Provincial norms can even overpower global norms sometimes. I think that appealing to provincial norms will be an effective way to promote environmental friendly behavior, since telling people that their community recycles can be effective like reusing the towels in the hotel.

    Last night I slept soundly and deeply. I was a bit upset that I couldn’t learn more about Ava and Becca, but today I will be able to. After a breakfast of some meat, some warmed-up vegetables, and a drink of water, we began to discuss how we would go further with our plan. Professor West pointed out that since we found Ava in the rubble, there could be more survivors. Given the very low chance of finding more people, I'm guessing we won't look for long.…

    In this article, the author challenges the ideals and beliefs that other scholars who study Canadian Confederation hold in regards to how confederation came about. The author's argument is that the Canadian federal state may have been a result of the debates in Britain, France and America during the eighteenth and nineteenth-century. The debate in Britain, France and America was between republican values and commercial ideology that came about at the time of Enlightenment. He believes understanding the political debates going on at the time may help gain a more rounded understanding of the political issues that were happening in Canada during the nineteenth-century post-confederation and how confederation came about through those political…

    Quebec Sovereignty Essay

    • 1249 Words
    • 5 Pages

    To the office of the Prime Minister, We are writing this paper to give you some advise your government on the appropriate way to handle the issue of Quebec sovereignty in response of the Parti Quebecois victory in the 1976 Quebec provincial election. The Parti Quebecois believes that Quebec is entitled to its own sovereignty, and favours holding a referendum to raise the issue of Quebec sovereignty. If Quebec votes to separate from Canada, this could greatly damage Canadian national unity and have a detrimental impact on our nations economy and social well-being. Canada must remain intact and united as one nation because Canada would face huge economic losses, and it is not certain that Quebec would be stable enough to survive on their…

    I learned that breaking social norms is frowned upon by society very much. Societal norms are so set when an individual steps outside of those norms he/she is looked at as an outsider who should know better and follow the rules. Some social norms can be broken depending on sanction. For example, church is a formal sanction, there may be members that begin to shout or break out into dance in response to the feeling that overwhelms them from the music or the message that the minister may be preaching as opposed to when a person in a classroom setting he/she cannot just get up and start dancing or yelling across the classroom because the setting is different and the person will be looked as someone who is going against what it's supposed to be…

    Central to the separatist movement of the latter half of the twentieth century was the argument that Quebec needed to become an independent state in order to ensure the survival of the French language, uphold the integrity of Quebecois culture, and allow Quebec’s government to proficiently govern its own affairs. In the views of many, the fact that Quebec has managed to do these things in recent decades without sovereignty has diminished the need and legitimacy of calls for separation. In my opinion, these developments have indeed put to the lie the need for Quebec independence, for it is now apparent that independence is not a prerequisite of achieving these goals. That said, it does not necessarily put to the lie the legitimacy of independence, for the legitimacy of Quebec’s desire for independence is based on more than necessity alone. This essay will discuss how Quebec achieved each of the aforementioned feats without independence, in order…

    Domestic tranquility in the United States is outlined by the Constitution and can be better understood as the way in which society lives in harmony (Wilson). Unfortunately, society has not reached a state of tranquility yet. This can be traced to ideas of racism, sexism, and other means of discrimination in the United States. Although some strides have been made to try and counteract these modes of discrimination, society has recently taken a step back in its development towards a tranquil state. Specifically, the rhetoric used by Donald Trump has been linked to ideas of racism and sexism.…

    When asked on what makes someone truly American, the answer you usually get is freedom, patriotism, and loving the “American way”. Culture, defined by the mannerism of what a person does, cannot be condensed into a simple phrase or quality. In the past, other cultures such as the African and Native Americans were viewed as a nuisance to achieving Uniformity as an American Country, and were sought out and assimilated to try to fit in with the norm of society. This was done to ensure that cultural diversity would not become intergraded, so that the Anglo Saxon traditions would be the dominate example. To this day, cultural bias is still present, but should cultural assimilation be acceptable in this day and age.…

    The Feudal system was a system of obligations between lords and vassals. The level you were born in you would probably stay at that level for the rest of your life, as it was really hard to move up. There are four levels of the feudal system, Kings, Nobles, Knights, and Peasants. Feudalism started during the middle ages between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. This time was when wealth was based on land, even higher than any currency.…
