Canadian nationality law

With that being said, many Europeans were of the same nationality, whereas they had no land by name to represent that. This very concept was used by Otto Von Bismarck in 1850-1871, inspiring him to wage wars against France and Austria to enhance and emphasize nationalism in the southern states of Germany as…

There has been many arguments on whether the Australian flag should be changed or not. And I believe that by changing the Australian flag can help to reinforce our national pride. A flag is a representative of a nation and its people. Our current flag demonstrates a strong sense of pride and the same emotions will still be carried through by the new flag. By changing the flag design it would display a more clear and recognisable Australian identity. Our Australian flag has been around for many…

to wear during not only during the taking of oath of Canadian citizenship, but at any time in any place within the boundaries of our supposedly multicultural Canada? While this is not the first time they issues regarding dress have arisen within Canada, the case of Zunera Ishaq, drew considerable attention in 2015. In large part to the proximity to the federal election and a potential rising tide of Islamaphobia which began to permeate Canadian society. Canada may have an official policy of…

In the United States, respect and admiration for one’s nation is too often associated exclusively with Americans. During the Festival of Nations, an international event held in Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, MO, my peers and I were able to see the pride foreign nationals and naturalized American citizens take in their home nations, while at the same time realizing the great degree to which other cultures’ staples are “Americanized.” I believe the most enriching parts of the Festival of Nations…

Throughout history, every region and its citizens have gone through periods of immense pride. Often this strong nationalism is felt after winning a war, the inauguration of a new leader or anniversaries. As national pride among citizens within a country rises, civic engagement is also amplified. The same theory can be applied reversely to assume that low levels of nationalism correlate with scant civic engagement. Using the most similar system design one can explore the reasons behind why two…

Anthony Smith sets the rhetorical question: (1)"Where, after all, lay the reasons for the existence of every nation (if you distinguish it from the state), if not in the cultivation of its unique (or perceived as unique) cultural value? Ethnic differences remain the terms ‘sine qua non’ and that means shared myths about ancestor’s common historical memories, unique cultural traits and sense of difference - if not chosen by God - all elements typical of the ethnic communities of the pre-modern…

The most important part of the defining nationalism is the suffix “ism.” The suffix “ism” implies the absolutizing of the preceding word. Absolutizing of anything whether it be patriotism or nationalism can yield dangerous consequences. However, many times words like nationalism or patriotism are used in a colloquial equivalence to words such as patriotic and nationalistic. It is here I believe Klenser over reaches occasionally in his definition of nationalism. If a student does not understand…

in regards to the messages that popular media convey about the values and beliefs of Canadian national identity. National identity can be defined as a sense of belonging to a particular community where culture and values are shared between members (Murray: Formation of Nation-State, Nov 14). This paper will provide a brief summary of Debra Black’s article as well as interpret significant terms that convey Canadian identity, followed by the connection of anthropological concepts with the overall…

ironically “ under increasing threat in Canada as the demand for Canadian water resources increases” (Phare, 2017) as “expansion is a key component” (Calder, Ryan S. D., et al., 2016). Expansion means more dams built in and on top of rivers, with reservoirs that span miles deep and wide of Canada’s landscape. Not only is Canada approaching the problem of trying to meet growing global energy demands with outdated technology but also with outdated law and…

As mentioned previously, nationalism, nation, and national identity are all modern Western constructions that were foreign to Chinese society until the nineteenth century. Through contact with the West and Japan, Chinese society soon understood what these terms meant in the larger international context. They also understood that in order for China to join the West and Japan as international powers, they needed to develop their own nationalism, nation and national identity. The problem China…
