Canada, often recognized to many of us as the cold country that is known for their production of maple syrup and their many lakes, has many similarities and differences when comparing it to the United States. Like the US, while there are many cultures and languages present throughout Canada, they are still mainly known for speaking English. Similarly, they also greet others with an introduction and a handshake. Christianity is also the main religion in both nations, with a following of nearly 80 percent of citizens. Many of these similarities to the United States can be drawn back to the fact that both of these countries come from British decent.…

Life in India is both similar to and different from the life here in Canada. There are many similarities but also a few differences. In both the countries, the Prime Minister is the head of the government. Both Canada & India were previously under the British control. The present democratic form of government is very similar in the two countries. While many of the actual food items purchased in India are the same (tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, etc.), they are often prepared differently from the typical Canadian foods. Also, it is not uncommon for an Indian housewife to purchase her vegetables from the neighborhood grocer who brings his cart into the neighborhoods each day. The system here in Canada is a little more advanced and modern. Markets here are not as crowded as in India.…
Today Canada is one of the most multicultural nations in the world; however, certain minority groups struggle to represent their true identity. One of these groups includes South Asian girls, who face cultural challenges as well as the attached stigma of being a girl in a South Asian culture. Some of my personal challenges include trying to keep up with cultural standards, striving for perfection, and trying to maintain my parent’s expectation.…
Culture is defined as a collective unit which distinguishes one group from another. It is often used to compare individuals from one country to those of another, as cultures and countries are often closely related. By observing Canada and its unique social dynamics, one can see that it is possible to have variations of culture within a country, province, or even city. A perfect example of such is Montreal, where cultures continuously clash and adapt on a daily basis. These differences of culture are based on historical events and language. Due to the facts that Quebec is part of Canada and that it borders the United States, one would expect that Francophones would relate much more to the Anglophone community, but it is not the case.…

Within Canada there are many different cultures and languages, for example, you can drive a few hours to Moncton in which most people speak French, or you can travel north where you can find many Aboriginal and Inuit people. Even here, in our small town we have many people residing that speak Romanian and practice their culture. This makes Canada very unique, because in most countries they encourage everybody to be one big society, all of the same culture and…
The big difference I noticed was the family. In India, a person stays with family all the time. Generations live in one home and they stay together. Relations to other family members are kept close and social life if very necessary for survival. Where as in the states, many kids find their own way as soon as they are 18 years old. Many families lack the relationships that are needed to keep the family together. Family members rarely see each other.…
Canada consists of many citizens of various socioeconomic backgrounds through immigration. Immigration occurs when people leave their home country to live permanently in a new foreign country (Bloemraad, Korteweg, and Yurdakul 2008). Being a melting pot of different people is a characteristic that makes Canada unique.…

The effects of the bottled water industry on politics, people and the environment are corruption ,human health and pollution…
In Mexico, my home country, their culture can be expressed by many factors like the food they eat. The same can be said about the United States. My home country has many different plates made up of different foods like shrimp, rice, beans, chicken, pork, and many other Spanish foods. This American country also has different plates that consist of corn, chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, pizza and so on. My homeland prepares most, if not all of their foods from scratch. This means that it takes them a couple more steps to prepare a meal while following a recipe’s directions. This is different for the American culture which prepares most their food in a microwave or better yet goes out to eat what is known as “fast-foods”. An example of their differences could be shown when preparing mashed potatoes. In Mexico this would be made by smashing cooked potatoes together; while in the U.S.A. they would simply mix the ingredients from a mash potato box. Also in my homeland most of the food is naturally grown and cultivated for immediate use; while in America most of the food is grown with preservatives and chemicals to speed the natural growth process and make the food last longer. A reason for these differences could be because of the amount of money that one country makes as opposed to the other. In my homeland they have a lower economic system than the U.S.A.; so therefore they can’t always afford to eat out every day or to use so many chemicals and preservatives. But in part there is a cultural preference, where each country enjoys either having their meals eaten out…
