“Canada and the United States: What Defines Them? What Determines Their Identity? – A Canadian Perspective”
Introduction:
How can we distinguish between US Americans and Canadians? What distinguishes them from each other? Collective memories distinguish nations from one another, but what defines these collective memories?
Collective memories can be discussed from many different perspectives: historical issues, understanding of government, political structures/activities, military prowess, social developments as well as psychological aspects of how one understands one's self.
