Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts the political cultures of the Canada and the United States, arguing that despite debates over the apparent differences in the political cultures of the two countries, the underlying corporate domination of political relations in both societies suggests that apart from superficial political differences the political cultures of Canada and the United States are likely to increasingly converge in the near future.
From the Paper

Abstract
The cultural differences in the United States and Canada began after the American Revolutionary period. A plethora of theories exist regarding the rationale behind the variances in culture. Some theorists contend that the Vietnam War created a vast gap between the cultures, while others suggest that the ideologies of rebellion and peace forced the two cultures to become opposing neighbors. Religion, politics and national ideologies encompass the realm of cultural differences that exist between the countries. this paper examines the similarities between Canadian and American cultures that exist despite the many differences that also exist between the cultures.

Canada and The United States, 2002.
A comparison of the histories and cultures of these two North American countries.

Abstract
Canada and the United States have followed cultural paths that have sometimes intersected but which have remained separate on account of historical, philosophical, geo-political and economic differences which have become cultural and emotive, over time. The development of two cultures within a single continent and sharing a very long border indeed, points to the importance of exploring past distinctions, some of which are apt to continue having their bearing upon the future. As the concluding sections of this paper explain, Canadian distinctiveness is in large part carried on in a comparative way, in relation to a much stronger nation which is perceived as an external and sometimes threatening power.

These two countries of the New World share the world?s longest undefended border, which ranges 6379 kilometers long."

Abstract
This paper explains that over 150 breeds of dogs and 300 breeds of cats are found in the United States and Canada. Many people love their pets even if they are not a pure-breed animal. In fact, many mixed dogs in American households are equal to the number found in Canada. Pets are, in most cases, our furry friends, but they are also often used in the lives of the owners to help them with different illnesses or work. The paper discusses the important role that dogs and cats play in the emotional and physical well being of their owners and how they are so highly valued in both Canada and the United States.
From the Paper
"Ever have a dog or cat as a child? Remember all the love and affection the pet gave? Dogs and cats are special to many people. In fact, some people consider their pets as family members. Over 150 breeds of dogs and 300 breeds of cats are found in the United States and Canada. Whether it is the small white Maltese, brown and black Yorkie terrier, wolf-like Keeshunds, curly poodles, or other breeds of dogs, many people call and treat these dogs as if they were children. The same can be said of cat owners. Cat owners love their Turkish Angora..."

Irish Settlement in the United States and Canada, 2008.
A comparison of the historical nature of Irish migrant settlement in the United States and Canada.

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares Irish migrant settlement in the United States and Canada in the nineteenth century. It looks at the traditional historical models for these respective settlements and suggests that they have tended to emphasize the urban nature of the American settlement and the rural nature of the Canadian one. The paper concludes, however, that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants are far more complex than these models suggest. The paper then analyzes and discusses these points.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this comparative analysis of the settlement patterns of Irish immigrants in Canada and the United States, we have seen the importance of a detailed understanding of the historical debate. In both countries, it seems that the settlement patterns of the Irish immigrants followed precedents established by existing immigrant populations as the Irish settlement patterns and living conditions mirrored the often rural communities in which they settled. Thus, as historians agree, it is very difficult to generalize for Irish Canadians as a whole in this regard. Given that the United States was more urbanized than Canada, the Irish immigrants in this environment were likewise more urbanized, but not more so than other immigrant groups at this time. Indeed, their settlement patterns and living conditions - often hard, and working class, in the poorer areas of cities - seemed to mirror that of other immigrants in the United States in a similar way to the Irish immigrants' settlement patterns in Canada reflecting the communities in which they lived."

Abstract
This paper explains that the healthcare systems of the United States and Canada were once both privately funded but now have an immense difference in the structure and cost of healthcare services. The author points out that the Canadian structure is available to all citizens whereas, in the U.S., accessibility is a major problem. The paper relates that the U.S. has more advanced technology as compared to Canada, which is a weakness of Canadian healthcare. The author stresses that healthcare services in the U.S. have been known to be superior because patients, who have access, can be seen immediately and surgical procedures need only a short wait; whereas, in Canada, many residents wait a long time for services, minor surgeries and regular checkups. The paper concludes that, overall, Canada has accomplished a balance between quality, cost efficiency and technology. The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"The high price of healthcare has been an ongoing crisis and has affected many Americans. Many Americans work at full-time jobs but still do not have access to health insurance because of the immense cost. Some companies offer to cover a percentage of healthcare insurance, but the employee still has to pay a large portion of out of pocket-expenses. Any citizen that owns their own business has no other choice but to pay full price for healthcare. The crisis of healthcare has had major effects on many American families. With no health coverage, one could only imagine the stress of the medical bills ..."

The Canadian State as a Racist Political Culture, 2008.
This paper discusses the development of the Canadian state as a racist political culture.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in Canada in the early 21st century there is the widespread belief that racism is largely a concern of other countries given such state policies as multiculturalism. This being said, this essay argues, through the critical examination of scholarly texts on the subject, that, in fact, the development of Canada as a racist political culture defines the fundamental institutions of the Canadian state to the present day. The writer maintains that when Canada is considered in terms of its historical development, in terms of its policy making - as in the case of multiculturalism - or in terms of its political culture manifested in the mass media and the economy, there exists overwhelmingly evidence in support of the contention that Canada is a fundamentally racist political culture.
From the Paper
"Consider, for example, the unrest that has often erupted in Canada between Aboriginals and the government/land developers who are seeking to build on sacred Aboriginal lands. Even if we set aside the issue that all of the North American continent itself originally belonged to the ancestors of these Aboriginals, the fact that it has been so difficult for these First Nations to enforce their treaty rights through the courts that they must resort to peaceful civil disobedience is evidence of the radical inequality in the Canadian social, political and economic systems. Indeed, as the conflicts years ago at Akwasasne and Oka, dissent and civil disruption appear to be the only way that marginalized populations can make their case in the public arena given that they are effectively dispossessed."

United States, Canada and Global Warming, 2007.
This paper compares the U.S. and Canadian policies regarding climate change.

Abstract
The paper outlines the anthropogenic causes of global warming, the evidence of its existence and some of the differing ways in which the U.S. and Canada are approaching the issue of climate change. The paper discusses how, while Canada appears sincere in its efforts to adhere to Kyoto Protocol requirements, it seems to be actually achieving less than the United States.
From the Paper
"The causes of global warming are many. Most notably, carbon dioxide and methane gas emissions - be they from power plants, from vehicles, from planes, or from man-made structures/installations - serve to facilitate global warming insofar as CO2 and methane gas molecules (as well as Chloroflurocarbon molecules) "trap" long-wave radiation, otherwise known as "heat", and prevent it from escaping into space. Suffice it to say, the more CO2, Chlorofluorcarbons and methane present in the atmosphere, the more global temperatures will climb (Collins, para.5 and para.8-10). All in all, the accumulation of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere and the attendant higher temperatures mean the slow deterioration of vulnerable ecosystems - such as the two Artic Poles - that are not designed to accommodate rapid temperature increase."

The United States Health Care System, 2008.
Argues for universal health care in the United States.
2,195 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that the United States is virtually the only industrialized country in the world that does not automatically give citizens the benefit of free health care, but notes that there are, however, several other types of health care options in the U.S.. The paper then describes problems with these health care options such as that they require the individual to independently pay for private health insurance or Medicare. Next, the paper relates that, in other countries such as Canada and Britain, the universal health care concept is viewed as very successful. The paper contends that when the United States government realizes that universal health care is the best option, all citizens of the U.S. will begin to live a healthier life.
From the Paper
"The quality of health care in the United States can be considered opinionated to a certain extent but the amount of money the U.S. spends in comparison to other countries is inarguably absurd. There cannot be any denial of the inflation rate of uninsured citizens. The number of Americans without health insurance is now up to 45,000,000. That is a huge increase considering that in 1990 there were 35,000,000 uninsured citizens. Being uninsured increases your chance of fatality. If a universal health care system were to come into existence, we would see far less deaths in the U.S."

Introduction
What is Political Culture?
Britain - The Politics of Continuity
Contemporary Politics
Italy - The Politics of Regionalism
Conclusions
References
From the Paper
"Upon first examination, one would think there no two political cultures in the world more unalike than those of Great Britain - the United Kingdom - and Italy, that comparing the two is like comparing a Yorkshire Pudding with a Calabrian Pasta. It is true that Great Britain is the first modern nation-state, and was such when the King of France ruled little more than the Ile de France and was not as great as his nobles. Italians were busy killing each other off in the internecine wars of small city-states as Britain founded the first great western empire since that founded by the Romans. The nation of Italy has only a bit more than 150 years as a unified state - one that has never settled into unification easily. Yet there are more things in common between these two cultures than one might suppose at first."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The culture of the politics of the United States of America is as diverse as the composition of its population. With a wide range of citizens from virtually every nation and culture around the world as well as myriads of citizens in different economic situations, one is likely to envision different viewpoints of politics from each of these groups. There are many reasons for the different viewpoints of politics. Firstly, the nature of the United States is for political freedom for all. People come to America from around the world to experience the freedoms granted by the Constitution to all citizens. Many arrive with certain premonitions of the nation that play a role in their political viewpoints and stances. Often, these viewpoints about the United States and its politics are widespread among the group and often specifically taught to the young."

Abstract
This paper looks at the American political culture after the terrorist attacks of September 11 and the effect those attacks had on the tolerance in American political culture. It contends that, as a result, of the attacks, American political culture is more accepting of authoritarian views. This paper also looks at how the war on terrorism and the related struggle against the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons have become the central elements of a new US foreign policy since September 11.
From the Paper
"September 11, had a polarizing effect on tolerance in political culture .In fact the tragedy made American political culture more accepting of authoritarian views .The terrorist attacks on the U. S. of Sept. 11, 2001, jolted Americans with the realization that young men filled with hatred of the U. S. could, with limited training and guidance, become focused instruments of mass terror, willing and able to kill thousands of Americans."
