 abstract = {Since its founding, the United States of America has embodied a variety of principles to the intellectuals of the world. These principles reflect, to a large extent, the intellectual’s era and perspective. In the 1830s, for instance, Tocqueville saw equality as one of the essential features of American society. On the other hand, more than a century later, Simone de Beauvoir, who also spent several months travelling across the nation, saw inequality as one of the hallmarks of the American experience. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Canadian intellectuals were inclined to view materialism, freedom, individualism, and equality},
