Every type of person struggles with a thing we call, identity. Personal identity come from multiple factors from our race to our own personal beliefs.

A further reason to embrace the perspective of the assigned source is that any peoples living in the same territory, speaking the same language, and sharing a common culture have the right to pursue self-determinism. The Quebec separatism is an example of peoples whose identity is based on a common history. Quebec has been colonized by France and since France has its own culture, their culture transcended into the colony in a slightly different form which has been preserved throughout the ages. Thus, Quebec is the manifestation of the culture of a particular group of people, which gives them the rights to pursue their own affairs. Self-determinism is not a right given by other individuals to a group of peoples.
In many countries, conflict between different groups of people is inevitable. In Canada, the divide between English-speaking and French-speaking regions has been a prominent political and cultural topic since the birth of the nation.

Ashley Mendez Rosales OQA158 11360405 Dr. Daniel Westlake POLS 111 January 31st 2023 Terms and definitions NATIONS Canada is made up of many nations of similar and distinct ancestry, language, culture and history. A nation must have land, government and individuals that will be part of said nation. To be able to identify yourself in a nation gives people a sense of belonging and pride, being part of one can take the form of a distinct relationship. Such as, in Canada, getting your citizenship where there is a set population also identifying as Canadians, a government and vast land. Being part of a nation doesn't necessarily need to be a country, being part of the many groups in the indigenous community is equivalent to a nation.
Identity is something people tend to think of as consistent, however that is far from the case. The Oxford English dictionary states that the definition of identity is “ The characteristics determining who or what a person or thing is.” The allegorical novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding tackles the issue of identity while following young boys from the ages twelve and down as they struggle with remembering their identities when trapped on a deserted island.

By looking at Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the Stanford Prison Experiment, and Sigmund Freud 's philosophical ideas, it becomes clear that identity is affected by society through peer pressure and social normalities.

The United States is the biggest influence on Canadian identity. The U.S. culture is very similar to Canadians as we are exposed to it all the time in media sources.
CANADIAN IDENTITY By Rebecca Grimwood Does Canada have a secure identity, or have we become an American wannabe? The two countries share the longest border in the world, and have a similar amount of land mass. Many wonder if Canada is simply a smaller version of America. Although Canada is aware of America’s entertainment industry, concept of multiculturalism, and history, there are fundamental differences that make Canada’s identity unique and secure.
Introduction The concept of identity has been a notion of significant interest not just to sociologists and psychologists, but also to individuals found in a social context of perpetually trying to define themselves. Often times, identities are given to individuals based on their social status within a certain community, after the assessment of predominant characteristics that said individual has. However, within the context of an ethnicity, the concept identity is most probably applied to all members of the ethnical group, and not just one individual. When there is one identity designated for the entire group, often times the factor of “individuality” loses its significance, especially when referring to the relationship between the ethnic
Paul- Michel Foucault was a French philosopher also known as a historian of systems of thoughts whose influence extended across a broad array of disciplines especially in the humanities and social sciences and a social critic. He created his own title when he was promoted to professorship at one of the most prestigious colleges in France “College de France” in 1970. He is perhaps best known for his ruminations on power, self identity, epistemology, and the evolution of systems of thought and meaning. He is often described as post-structuralist or post modernist, however Foucault himself rejected such titles, preferring to analyse their significance rather than identifying with them.
