The Frist nation people have more emphasis on the importance of community, they primarily think of themselves as members of a group and this concept is also connected to my own personal tribal connection. We have different groups and for one to be identify you need to belong to a tribal group, in order for people to understand your origin of existences. And it also create a supportive force in time of needs. Moreover the concept of seven generation is also an interesting aspect for the Frist

Nationalism is a sense of loyalty to one’s nation. Nationalism has the power to unify or divide a whole country, and did so to numerous countries in Europe. The idea of nationalism had not become known until the 19th century, because in the 19th century modern transportation was used more commonly and people of different cultures came in correspondence with each other more frequently. Nationalism appeared in places with a strong central government such as The Roman Empire and the dynasties

Australia’s national identity was built upon the hard masculine foundations using the harsh nature of the bush to exemplify these character traits. For many Australians, the ANZAC troops were the crystallization of the new identity. Following the crystallisation of the new identity, Australians started creating the ideal Australian, making the ideal Australian the traditional ideas of Australian national identity. The ideal Australian was known to be white, working class, sporty, male who were fiercely

for Canada as a whole and doesn’t have to interfere with anyone's Canadian national identity. Even though the Canadian federal government has agreed for the First nations to have self-governance, the first Nations didn’t get a say in what “self governance” means. When the government and the First Nations people work together, First Nation communities are better looked after. A Canadian national identity has many aspects to it, but a person can feel patriotic for their country and keep their own traditions

Patriotism, and All its Angles. People have been supporting, and fighting, their countries since they were made. Patriotism represents an undying love for your country and all that it stands for, the willingness to fight and die for it in hopes it shall flourish, but this love can be abused for man's own gain. During the holocaust young men were rounded up to fight in Hitler’s war. He villainized the Jewish race saying Germany's economy was depleting because of them and that they were ruining

I am marked by two disparate cultures. Although being of mixed heritage from Spain and Turkey is an unwavering truth, living in the United States at a physical distance from these countries gives me the privilege to freely curate who I am. I shape my sense of self with the values I retain—and reject—from these cultures. To me, Spain represents a union of cultures bound together by a passion for art and an inclination to think visually. I see Turkey as the scientific, freethinking mind, as it has

Unlike Melanie Scheller who identifies her cultural identity based on "lack of indoor plumbing" (320) and her family living conditions, I identify myself by my nationality. For me being Ukrainian means not only be born in Ukraine, it means feel that you are Ukrainian in your soul and in your hart.

At the time, when Ukraine

Today, Canada is known as a developed, independent country with people of different cultures. The Canadian identity has unique cultures and characteristics that set them apart from the rest of the world. Since the mid-20th century, Canada underwent many changes that shaped Canada into what it is today. The Women’s Movements, immigration after the 1950s, and the rule of Pierre Trudeau played important roles in the growth and shaping of the Canadian identity. The Women’s Movements played a crucial

The American identity was shaped by many things. Most impactful of all was the contribution of immigrants.This can be shown by the exacerbating amount of contributions to society they have made. One vital piece of evidence supporting the contributions of immigrants can be shown in the excerpt “The Immigrant Contribution”. This except by John F. Kennedy tells us immigrants are a part of America, as can be shown by “Once I thought to write a history of the immigrants in America. Then I discovered

The article titled "Optional Ethnicities: For Whites Only?" written by Marcy C. Waters was a fascinating read. Being a student who studies sociology, I try always try to analyze the differences between categories of people like race, but I have never thought about symbolic ethnicity. Also, I never thought about the idea of being able to turn off and on your cultural backgrounds. In all, Waters brought new ideas to the table.
