This paper will discuss globalization and health care, Canadian culture, agriculture and the auto industry. The first discussion will be that of the possible developments in Canadian culture as it faces globalization. In their discussion of globalization and culture, Chodos, Murphy and Hamovitch (1993) focus on national Canadian identity as a matter of allegiance to the nation-state. They state that as globalization continues to occur, "àcompetition for people's allegiance has only intensified and the relative strength of nation-states in this competition has been weakened." One would expect to find that popular Canadian culture (television and film particularly), may become less popular. 5.5 pgs. 12 f/c. 5b.
