Description 'Americans
do not know but Canadians cannot forget that two nations, not one, came out
of the American Revolution' (S.M. Lipset). What is Canada? This course
surveys broadly and historically some of its major dimensions: politics,
economics, environments, philosophies, cultures, languages and literatures,
and invites students to explore comparatively some of the myriad ways in
which Canada converges and diverges from America. Special emphasis will
be placed on Canadian conceptions of the values of 'freedom', 'equality', and
'community' as they manifest themselves in public policies towards aboriginal
issues, crime, environmental issues, healthcare, multiculturalism,
nationalism, pornography, religion, and the rest of the world. |
