his patriotism by highlighting the lack of change from the past to the present. The rhyme scheme in “Douglass” aids in indicating the absence of change as well because the rhyme scheme past the volta remains very similar to the scheme in the first eight lines. By contrast, the rhyme scheme in “London, 1802” shifts to a more complex pattern following the volta, maintaining Wordsworth’s argument that something needs to change in order to break England out of stagnation. The structure of…

Nationalism is a love for one’s country and is between groups who share a common heritage. Ideas of nationalism pushed people to strive to unify their common peoples in the 1800s. Reforms that result from nationalist ideas can be either positive or negative, though. In Italy, nationalism helped to bring separate states together, but it also tore Austria apart. Serving as a force for unity in Italy and disunity in Austria, nationalism was a major catalyst for change in the 1800s. Nationalism…

Social media is some websites and applications that support people to communicate or to participate in social networking. We are familiar with almost social media…

However, people can come together through these heinous events that are sparked by race, no matter what race we are. It also shows that people can find unity in dark situations and come together when there are terrible things threatening our nation. People in this country today have mostly come together. Some groups of people still do not get along with each other, but that will hopefully change as time moves forward. We have made great strides as a country. We have lessened racial tension…

Then, Cal’s experience highlights the objectiveness of American identity. America is prone to generalize people and not have them be their individual self. People who live in America are called Americans. They may have an array of colors or cultural backgrounds, but mainly they are Americans. Here, there is no individualistic identity, everyone from here is an American. Everyone gets something from the Melting Pot; they get something from each culture that was combined. When Cal evolved, and…

Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. I do agree that every country can decide what the best interest is for them and their people. I do not agree that believing that the best interest for their country is exterminating a race/religion. When other countries believe that genocide is the best interest for their country, neighboring countries should step in. They are human lives, I understand countries did…

They’d say that Canadians are great at embracing the harsh elements thrown at us. They’d say Canada is a cultural mosaic, comprised of a plethora of ethnicities. They’d say Canada is the home to Universal healthcare. They’d say we say that Canadians love the word “eh” along with drenching everything in maple syrup. But all of these things people think…

all those reasons I am very blessed and happy to live in the country of Canada. Also, being free means doing whatever that makes you feel happy and comfortable. Canada is a country that thrives because of rights and laws. When you think of other nations, Canada is one of the safest while being one of the most free. Freedom is one of the most gracious things to have in your life. It makes life interesting everyday rather than doing the same thing repetitively. Freedom is what it is to be Canadian…

the nation’s greatest sport, hockey (Krebs, 88). It is through Tim Hortons and the hockey arena where all Canadians can be fully accepted as Canadians. However, through this acceptance in which the minorities in Canada are both, “absorbed into the nation and distinguished from it” (Krebs, 87). The creation of “us” and “them” continues to separate the hegemonic group from those being dominated by the ideologies. Moreover, it is through these Canadian ideologies in which it reinforces the idea of…
