Abstract
This paper looks at the culture that developed in the African-American and Canadian population. It discusses the main events that brought about this culture, how, in some ways, it represented a resistance to oppression, and how some within the African-American/Canadian community held conflicting views about the development and expression of their own ethnic culture.
From the Paper
"The music/dance culture became an all out rejection of Victorianism and middle class control. (LN, OCT 9) The popularity of this era could be attributed to the fact that the majority of African Americans/Canadians that immersed themselves in this culture were working class and the dance/music created in this era spoke the truth!"

Abstract
The following assignment discusses the Americanization of Canada through the media. The paper argues that because American media products dominate in Canada, that Canadian culture is being Americanized. The argument looks at culture, symbolize, signs and the role of media.
From the Paper
"There has been a great deal of debate on the effects of the media upon culture. Many researchers argue that the media is contributing to a process of cultural homogenization. For example, in "Ecumenical America" Orlando Patterson argues, The modern process of global cultural interaction has repeatedly been subjected to two criticisms. The first is that it threatens the diversity and particularism of the world's cultures, resulting in a deadening homogenization of the human cultural experience. The other is that this growing global uniformity results from the dominance of America's culture --that, in effect, global culture is nothing more than American cultural imperialism (Patterson 103)."

Abstract
There is no doubt that hockey in Canada is a rich field for the exploration of the most pervasive myths of Canadian culture. Specifically, the poems in John B. Lee's "The Hockey Player Sonnets: Overtime Edition" evoke some of these myths. However, there are significant differences between the myths that are reflected in Lee's poems, and the myths that are alluded to in Richard Gruneau's and David Whitson's "Hockey Night in Canada" and Elizabeth Etue's and Megan K. Williams's "On the Edge". These differences are explored in this essay.

Abstract
Canadian history has created realities different from those of the United States and which continue to shape Canadian political, economic and social life. By investigating the nature of the language question in Canada and recent challenges to Canadian education, it is possible to obtain a glimpse of a country whose politics and government must be studied with attention to the influences of the past. An important set of factors has to do with the rather conservative administrative style inherited from a British system as Canada gained independence in 1867. The duties handled by different levels of government continue to reflect an older heritage, as is pointed out later in this paper.

This paper looks at the development of the African-American culture during the coming of the 20th century. More specifically, the paper discusses and analyzes the culture of consumerism and literature of the African-American sector during the Progressive Era.
From the Paper
"The consumerism of African Americans is illustrated by the increased consumption of manufactured goods and services offered in the commercial market. By buying these manufactured goods and services, African Americans perceive themselves as one with the white American society. By subsisting to materialism and hedonism, the black American sector sought to achieve an equal status, establish an egalitarian society in the country, where both white and black Americans co-exist peacefully. Unfortunately, this is just an 'idealistic' view of the consumer culture of African Americans, where material goods represent their ideals for a free and equal society."

Abstract
This paper claims that the study of the historical evolution of states such as Ghana, Mali and Songhai is essential for understanding the differences in the cultural and social approaches. It explains that the African-American culture and the identity and sense of belonging of a shared system of values has been the result and the reaction to the violent contact the Africans were forced to have with their western oppressors.
From the Paper
"Despite this however, inside the territory that is nowadays defined by the African borders, different and distinct civilizations were emerging, each with it specificities, but at the same time they were manifesting themselves inside similar general guidelines. This is why, it can be said that the African culture was in fact one which developed in a rather secluded atmosphere, without the pressure or influences of other cultures. This can be explained by the fact that the European notion of geography in particular revolved around certain concepts such as terra nullius which reduced all non western world to the Christian project "which perceived itself in both its textuality and significance as the most perfect expression of human culture" (Middleton,1997, p. 18)"
