Reflection:
Many people in the United States often forget about our neighbors to the north- Canada. And how similar we really are to them, in the fact that we, for the most part, speak the same language and have very similar day to day lives. However, they are many prejudice beliefs about Americans that are part of the Canadian culture. As Jack Kerouac once said "This is the story of America. Everybody's doing what they think they're supposed to do"- and this video portrays those ideas and actions that, according to Canadians, Americans are supposed to do. Some of those ideas and actions include memorizing the Pledge of Allegiance, carrying a flag around with us wherever we go, always bearing arms, chasing the American dream by attempting to strike oil and become rich, etc. These are only some of the ideas that Canadians, and most likely other countries have, about America and some of the things that Americans are "supposed" to do that will continue to carry on "the story of America."
