Objectif(s): Study of the cultural contributions that the Aboriginal people can make to our Canadian identity. Aboriginal people have an understanding of the sense of community which would serve to moderate the dominating influence of individualism. Will survey Aboriginal groups to study the effects of communitarianism, such as sharing of resources, community therapy for deviants and face-to-face interaction. Also explore attitudes toward economic inequality, employment policies, multiculturalism, family relations, respect for the elderly, and health and diet.
Description du projet: Research survey to study the cultural contributions that the Aboriginal people can make to our Canadian identity. Believe aboriginal people have an understanding of the sense of community which would serve to moderate the dominating influence of competition. That is, respect and dignity, consensus and cooperation in family and work situations whichs seems to characterize the Aboriginal way, would moderate the drive for competition.
