loose societal state where Canadians values individualistic properties, such as self-sufficiency and personal independence. People tend to care about themselves and their own family. In the world of business, there is no limit to their power to negotiate as long as they have enough support to back them up. In contrast, Thailand tends to lean more towards collectivism as they scored a 20 on a scale on which the higher the score is, the more individualistic they would be (Barr, 2004). Thai people form
traditional measure of self-esteem have been biased towards an independent self construal (Singelis, Bond, Sharkey, & Lai, 1999), which may plays a less significant role in collectivism cultures. Diener and Diener (1995) have showed that the link between self-esteem and life satisfaction is weaker in collectivistic cultures.

Individualist cultures place worth on the individual while collectivism places value on the group instead of the individual.

diversity is more than just a political buzz word or guilt inducing statistic; it is a proud staple of the culture they know and love. Their outlook as a society (especially unique in today’s individualistic minded era) view their historical disparities and inevitable cutlural differences as opportunities to come together rather than vindications to divide. With many aspects of Canadian culture so deeply wound into the very fiber of Canada’s past, it’s no surprise that family - while all unique and
Uniquely American I found one of the main characters, Amory Blaine from “The Side of Paradise” novel to be uniquely American.
