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…

Canada is filled with positive characteristics, it has supported and accepted many cultures. The question that is asked, “What’s it Mean to be Canadian” to me it means a type of freedom. Canada has given so many opportunities to all kinds of people without judging them. Being Canadian means I am free to vote the way I like. Free to live the way I like and free to explore other options in life. Being a Canadian means having freedom. Being a Canadian citizen gives me the freedom to be who I am,…

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…

What is Canada? Sure, many people will say that Canada is a nation of 35 million inhabitants in the great north founded by the French and British. 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…

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…

A nation can mainly be developed through shared linguistic, ethnic, cultural, religious, spiritual, geographic and political understandings(Social Studies Textbook pg 25). Canada may provide the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including the freedom of peaceful assembly and association, but I personally believe that the feeling of belonging isn’t part of this…

much more than a simple, daily recitation of The Pledge of Allegiance. It is an undying, vehement devotion to a country that someone can proudly call their home. One cannot just proclaim that they are patriotic, they must prove their attachment to a nation by demonstrating loyalty. September 11, 2001 was a tragedy; a day in history that no one can remember with fondness. As the World Trade Center met it's demise, the United States was engulfed in a nightmarish state of despair, sorrow, and rage.…
