Humans create culture Humans are the creator of culture because animals are known to have no souls, but we do. I think this trait is shown throughout the whole movie. For example when Theo and his siblings play a cultural game about their fathers before them, and with that Mamere was able to find Theo back in Sudan. Theo and his siblings in sudan have a certain way of living with their struggled life than they they did in America. They did not live such a privileged life with jobs and…

our modern day American society. Evolving immensely from the human nature of play, they have grown far beyond a simple leisure activity. Since the beginning, however, sport has played a crucial part in reflecting and contributing to the popular culture of each era. Sports in America also have a unique characteristic in that they are amplified and taken extremely seriously. Elliott J. Gorn and Michael Oriard, in “Taking Sports Seriously,” highlight this escalated role of sport in our society,…

The dominant groups in these cultures have been controlling the people through media, radical mobilization, and non-neutral educational systems.

It is expected of you to do this otherwise it causes an awkwardness among all the other around you. “Erving Goffman points out that the violation of norms makes us feel uncomfortable,” (Powerpoint).

Canadian identity is like a large gray area, neither black or white, light or dark but somewhere in the middle. The problem arises when Canadian identity doesn’t include the both black and white past, and just the white. Canadian citizens and anyone willing to listen needs to know about Canada’s wrongdoings so we can learn from our past and help the victims of these tragic incidents.
