United States and Canada achieved independence.
I need some examples not links.
Like what does
"Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures. The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear"
Meaning?
Can anyone help me? I really need help. I don't know what it means..
And all the tutors are helping everyone but me. They skip past my question.
Think of the differences between a beef and vegetable stew and a cream soup.
Ask yourself how these ideas are different:
"Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures.
The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear"
Then look up the word "assimilation" and let us know what you think about the two ideas you posted.
Come on -- show some patience. You waited less than 10 minutes for an answer from a volunteer!
I'm still confused. I don't want a direct answer.
What confuses you?
Assimilation = the process of taking in and fully understanding information or ideas.
I don't get it? Whats the good in looking that up?
I think if you had an actual question, it would help.
You started by simply making a statement:
United States and Canada achieved independence.
---- yes, they did, what about it?
You then went on about "stew" vs "melting pot".
What does that have to do with gaining independence?
Is this a good answer?
Ethnic groups are similar because many are of the same ethnicity. According to a teacher/tutor, "Canada prides itself on being like a stew with each ethnic group contributing separate and identifiable cultures. The U.S. likes to consider itself a melting pot where all differences disappear." This means Canada likes to take the pride, and maybe even brag, or show-off, while US, likes to hide the details, and keep quiet.
@Reiny The question is:
Essay
Note: Your teacher will grade your response to ensure you receive proper credit for your answer.
Compare and contrast how the United States and Canada achieved independence.
It is from connexus but I'm not asking for a direct answer.
Why did you wait til now to tell us your assignment?
A quick comparison on gaining independence:
I assume you are American, so you should be familiar with your war of independence or The American Revolutionary War from 1775-1783.
In Canada 1759, the French and the British fought over that area. As a matter of fact, most of the area was called New France. In a decisive battle at the Plains of Abraham in present day Quebec City, the British were victorious and France gave up its territory. Canada gained its independence from Britain in a peaceful and non-violent way.
As to your analysis of the "stew vs melting pot":
You said, "This means Canada likes to take the pride, and maybe even brag, or show-off, while US, likes to hide the details, and keep quiet."
I think you have that backwards.
