America And Canada Cultural Differences And Canadian Multicultural Research

This article has carried on the analysis to the American and Canadian culture value difference, to formerly thought the Canadian cultureequates to the American culture viewpoint carries on the breakthrough,is trying the relation which the explanation two difference reason,the phenomenon, and the union actual inspection both countries culturedifference and the society develops.The America and Canada geographical position close neighbor, theeconomical relations are close, have the complex profound contact. Inthe overall harmonious tonality, the culture is disagrees in harmonicsgrating, both sides revolve the culture actually whether belongs tothe commodity to argue continuous. Looked from the surface layer present situation that, the Americanculture wantonly makes a sneak attack, covers the Canadian culture.The American medium is thorough in Canada is surprising to behold, itmainly manifests to the Canadian culture conformity in television andin the pop music. In both countries cultural market, the Americanproduct turbulent flood tide frequently submerged north the neighborfragmentarily to hawk, has created the pseudomorph which the Canadianculture and the American culture equated.However, these external phenomena are similar certainly cannot mean inthese deep Tibet Yu Ren's thought, the emotion and consciousnesscultural orientation is same, the America and Canada different naturalcondition, the historical origin, the religious characteristic andpolitics economic system had decided both countries culture valueexists differently.First, the Canadian national territory although is bigger than US, butthe population is only equal to US 1,/10, the nation approximately has1/5 area in the arctic circle, nearly a half area is the frozen earth,the economic vitality and the capital source is deficient, the climateand the resources condition are inferior to US. From this all sorts,all needs the government to expand to the national directintervention, in infrastructure and so on long distance intransportation communication enlarges the investment, provides eachkind of service prop private capital. Therefore, the Canadian moretakes the national in public life function.Next, in the value orientation difference comes from to the differenthistorical and cultural traditions. After the war of independencevictory, US then got rid of England's rule, but Canada is England'scolony for a long time, took back the constitution until 1982, onlythen officially was separated from England. When American Revolution, tens of thousands of monarchists publicfigures from New York, Boston move to Canada, these have the model"the tradition", "the doctrine of the mean", "the non- violence" theperson constitutes the early Canada England lineage nationality groupthe main body. Canada and England keep the long-term close politicalcontact, the maintenance public peace and order always is the socialpolicy which English and the Canadian government highly takes; Theindividual right is opposite to the social goal occupies second.Third, in the religion, US under the separation of church and statepremise, "the day decides the Puritan the destiny" and individualstruggle spirit develops generally, causes it to become the entiresocial the standard of value; But Canada, because the big mensurationlineage inhabitant's existence, Catholicism is the biggest religioussect. Accounts for 46%. But the Canada most influential protestantchurches is Canada unites the church and the Canadian saint tradeunion, the two all is the extremely temperate religious sect.Fourth, adds beautiful both countries to be the North America colonyas England because US revolutionizes separates. Is nation of therevolutionary, its careful description democracy and talented personpolitics the subject, manifests to the happy society's goal whichpointed out - "the life, the freedom and pursue happiness". But the counter-revolutionary nation set up when 1867 Canada was new, determined the basic principle was "peace, the order andthe good government". On the other hand, Canada was certainly notconsidered is a world powerful nation, the relatively small and weakpolitics economic potentiality, causes the Canadian extremely to taketo own national dignity.This article through the comparison, the analysis, gives an exampleand the proof, thought the American and Canadian culture value thedifference mainly exists to following several aspects: Firstly, "superiority feeling" and "doctrine of the mean" difference. TheAmerican has "the top-quality new country" the superiority feeling andthe sense of mission., to the freedom, the equality and the democracyharbor the intense faith; In the Canadian disposition has many issteady, the doctrine of the mean factor. Secondly, deviations "individualism" and "collective right" difference. TheAmerican culture tells is seeping a more intense individualism withthe individual freedom tradition, the social life usually in the waywhich highly personally melts或体is under revolves; In Canadianvalue system more emphases collective or public right factor; Third, to public approval difference. The American suspects theauthority, the contempt country in public life function; The Canadianthen more takes through the country to meet own needs. Fourth, thenational dignity difference US rare economy synthesis strength and thetechnical culture leading status, in the national society's hugeinfluence and the prestige, causes the American to approve own countryto have the world top-quality superpower the superiority status;Canada was obtained the biggest advantage from US, simultaneously hasalso received the biggest injury.In under the superpower national independence culture reference,Canada takes the national culture independence is one kind of preciousemotion, but simultaneously also contains is comparing, everywhereunder the pressure nationality inferiority complex at times. Under the huge pressure, Canada also positively takes each kind ofmeasure, should to the challenge. In order to get rid of the Americanculture product to the Canada cultural market control and theinfluence, in recent years, the Canadian government has formulated aseries of policies rules and regulations one after another: Sets upthe cultural barrier, resists the beautiful goods to dump; The increase culture investment, encourages our country product,strengthens the national cooperation. Although is facing somedifficulties, but Canada continuously for maintains its disseminationdomain to make the unremitting effort.The multicultural principle not only is should a turning point whichchallenges to US, also is the cultural difference has an influenceimportant aspect to the government behavior. We have analyzed Canadain the different historical period cultural policy, and has carried onthe comparison to the America and Canada multicultural policy. InCanada and US, the national multiplicity always is the objectiveexistence matter, but the multicultural principle (Cultural Pluralism)forms intense and the widespread social ideological trend inparticular after the 20th century 450 ages. In US, cultural many Yuan principles merely pause in people's valuesystem and the social manner stratification plane; Rises in Canadianculture many Yuan principles for the national policy and the law. US'Snational multiplicity has not liked the Canadian partial ancestorsgroup in ten diversities to cause the nationality, the language, thereligion, the cultural demarcation line extremely obviously in theadministrative division "the cultural belt". "Furnace" and "mosaic",in treatment multicultural manner and policy, also is manifesting theAmerica and Canada different social value orientation. It can be said that, the multicultural principle provided for Canadato suit the national condition, not to have to US'S culturaldevelopment path. This also united without doubt has lived each racepeople in the Canadian national territory, resisted formidable US withthe aid of this kind of our country scope in relative external force,contended with with US, like this, in the international society, themulticultural has become Canada's distinct characteristic.The multicultural policy raised the ancestors member's equalconsciousness and the self-respect, thus strengthened them to thenational sympathy. The multicultural is a Canadian society's prominentcharacteristic, however Canadian society赖以生存foundation alsoin its identity. At the same time, the multicultural policy did notmean the nationality fuses or the assimilation no longer is innational and the national life another subject. The assimilation andthe national fusion are more than national societies, likes thetendency in particular which the Canadian this kind of immigrantsociety necessity occurs. Canada sought under the multicultural tideto distinguish between US, causes path which our country culturegradually was mature and formidable gets up.
