Ok so, even though the outcome is probably more similar to what would have happened in the United States, I think the fact that it even occurred is evident of the variance in cultural values across national borders. I also think that Canadians seem to have a much more relaxed approach to matters of this manner. Although they seem disappointed in the choices that the teachers made, no one is really up in arms about the way I imagine they would be if this happened in America.
Sure this may be trivial in comparison to cultural differences that have much larger implications such as views on religion and who is justified in religious conflict; however, it does highlight our differences and how they permeate to even the most frivolous aspects of society--how then are we ever supposed to agree on a global governance?
