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
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)."

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!"

Click here to show/hide summary
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.

The Canadian State as a Racist Political Culture, 2008.
This paper discusses the development of the Canadian state as a racist political culture.
1,318 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 71.95
»
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."

From the Paper
"One thing that helps keep a separation of power between the three branches is the President's limited lawmaking abilities. The president can recommend laws and changes to laws, but he cannot implement them. Only the Congress can do that. He can however, veto laws that Congress passes and he finds unacceptable. This keeps any one of the three branches from having too much power or influence over the others."
