My Family: Cultural Background Of French Canadian

The race I identify with is white. While for some people it is difficult to decide, I don’t have trouble determining that. My mom’s side is almost all Polish and Yugoslavic, and my dad’s side is a mixture of several European countries. I have lived

Another big part of who people are culturally is shown through the food in that culture. At our Christmas Eve dinners there are multiple Hispanic dishes being served. Some of my favorites that are served at this time of the year are the homemade tamales my great grandma makes and menudo that my grandma makes. Every culture has different foods that define their culture. So these two dishes, the tamales and menudo, show who I am culturally. All of these things about my culture have had a major impact on who I am as a person. Family, tradition and food from my culture have meaning to me and show who I am

The first time my mom went over to my dads house for dinner it showed how different their cultures are. They all sat down for dinner when my mom noticed there were no forks, confused she asked where she could get them. My dad and his family all laughed and proceeded to eat their dinner without forks and instead with tortillas. Later on, I was born into this mix of american and hispanic culture. My parents have shaped the cultural identity I have from the type of food I eat, my hobbies, and the values I have.

Day 2: How does your culture contribute to the way that you interact with your social world? Culture is one of the primary reasons we act the way we do. There are many types of cultures like professional, national, religious, family, and educational. Your family culture is the number one type of culture that affects you in your adult life. It shapes the foods you enjoy, the activities you like to participate in, and specific belief systems you take part in. Additionally,

Someone culture can identify who they are as a person. not everyone have the same culture it all depends on the Family. My culture is mixed with both, Mexican and African-American. The way my family and I do things can be extremely different compared to others. For the fact that my culture is mixed with Mexican and African-American, we do things unusual compared to other families. My family eat lots of tacos and fried chicken most of the time. It all depends on who is cooking, weather is my mom or my step dad. My mother is African-American and my step-dad is  Mexican American . Whenever my mom do cook we mostly eat soul food, while my step dad mostly cook Mexican food or BBQ. My family biggest tradition will be Thanksgiving because, we

Throughout the course of time, Quebec has transformed into a strong, stable country. Quebec City is the capital of Canada and Quebec is Canada's second most populous province. Quebec, a province in east-central Canada, is a predominantly French-speaking population, and the only one to have French as its sole provincial official language. This fact results in Canada having two official languages: French and English. With a multitude of available resources, large infrastructure, and stable economy, Quebec contains the ability to be a viable, healthy country, on its own. If Quebec was to gain independence, it would have various impacts on the remainder of Canada, the United States, and France. This independence would result in a loss of cultural diversity in Canada, a creation of new quota laws in the United States, and differences in communication and an increase in miscommunication between France, Canada, and Quebec.

In 19th century, European settlers in Canada viewed family as central to the colonial project. Family members, community, church and state officials aided getting married and having children because they saw it as key to social responsible and nation build. Also, they believed marriage and parenthood helped individuals mature socially. (Officer, 2015) Before European migrated the most family were based on Kin- based extended of families.

Culture can be defined as the behaviours and belief characteristics of a particular social, ethnic,

Growing up, I always knew I was Mexican, Hawaiian and Caucasian. When someone would come up to me and ask what is your nationalities, I would just say Mexican and Hawaiian. I never actually thought about the Caucasian side of me. My dad is

In my own family, many of the traditions we continue to celebrate and do would not have been passed on if it was not for the closeness of our family. My mother can make many native foods from growing up around her grandmother such as traditional Creek Fry bread; things that I know I will one day pass on to my children. I can still remember my great grandmother teaching my sister and I how to do traditional basket weaving, a tradition still taught in classes at the Creek Nation today. "Basket-weaving is one of the oldest known Native American crafts" and shows the diversity of tribes as the different styles of basket-weaving are still present today (Lollman). If families did not pass on our heritage, many of our native songs and dances performed at powwows would not be around to see or reenact today. Ultimately all of the traditions we have today would not be here if it was not for the families passing their knowledge and memories down.

When I think of the word “Ethnicity” of course I immediately think, “Oh I’m Mexican, Native American, and whatever white my dad is.” While I do have a darker brown skin I was not raised in the traditional way it’s assumed I was. I am only a quarter Mexican, so I was not raised in a Mexican household. The reality of it is that I was raised in a small rural town, this particular tiny town goes by the name of Hotchkiss, CO. I suppose I would say my real ethnicity is Rural-Conservative American.

French Canadians can be found in all around Canada, mainly in Quebec they can also be found in the United states found mostly in Louisiana and New England. There are 6.5 million French Canadians in Canada and there are 2-5 million of them in the United States. In the united States there are also called the Cajuns.

To me my cultural identity is made up of many things from the sports I like to the food I eat even to they way I treat or act to people but most important thing to me would be how people view me as a person and friend by this I mean my personality and how I treat them because the way I was raised was that you treat everyone with respect no matter the person place or situation. Secondly the food we eat is personally my favorite thing about my family culture because the food is great from tamales to Poole and menudo and even the sports inline which is only one but that doesn't matter because threw the sport i have made many friends and learned many lessons and the sport of course is soccer the greatest sport in the world to me and my family at least now where my view influenced yes and iI am glad they were because if people didn't help me be the way i am today i don't know how i would have turned out sure iI'mnot perfect no one is but i like how I was raised and how i have lived my life so far and all because of my family culture and all the people that made me who i am today so yeah i guess you could say culture is what makes the world spin and connects people together and to me culture is the most important thing you could have in your life

The Canadian family has been changing drastically over the 20th century. The definition of family has changed, along with the functions of families. Many modern families have veered from what we once considered the tradition family. This essay will discuss the different types of newly developed families, and some factors contributing to this change.

My skin is white, my eyes are brown, and my hair is dark brown. I am confused with Europeans, such as Italians, Portuguese, or Spanish. As early as the sixth grade, I experienced prejudice indirectly. I grew up in a predominately white neighborhood where I consistently heard racist thoughts about Latinos.
