Assignment #1 - Culture

I have been procrastinating this assignment for some time and now that the second assignment is up I need to catch up! The reason for my procrastination is that it is really hard for me to define my culture and I am very confused as to which culure I belong to. I belive I belong to a mixture of culture. Lets start from the roots:
I was born into a very multicultural family. By blood, my mother is 1/2 tatar (a minority nation that lives within the borders of Russia), 1/4 Lithuanian and 1/4 Polish. My father, by blood, is 1/4 Ukranian, 1/4 Russian, 1/4 Latvian and 1/4 Polish. Basically, my blood line mostly consists of Eastern European blood, thus, by blood I can be considered as Eastern European or Slavic.
Now, I was born in Lithuania and lived there for the first year of my life. After, my family moved to Latvia where we lived until I was 10 years old. The language spoken in my family, and my first language was and is Russian - this is understandable since everyone in my family is mixed, and the only language that unites everyone is Russian (This is also explained by the fact that mostl of the nations that I mentioned above were a part of the Soviet Union). Consequently my traditions were also mixed, but were very much dominated by the Russian traditions. Unfortuntaely though, I was not able to fully feel that I am Russian - afterall, I have never been to Russia in my life (until now!) and by blood I am only 1/8th Russian.
There were many ways in which Latvian culture impacted my family as well - we ate national Latvian food, celebrated some traditional holidays like LIGA (If I remember the name correctly) and I had to learninn the latvian language in school. Thus my family belonged to the minority group known as the "Baltic Russians". Hence, my culture from the beginning of my life is, well, "Baltic Russian" I guess.
When I was 10 my family moved to Canada. I disliked it in the beginning, but now as I grow up I truly realize how much I love Canada and how much impact Canadian culture had on my previous one. Here in Canada I have acquired many Canadian values (which also exist in some other cultures as well). I am a tolerant, respectfull, polite, wine drinking, beer drinking, potato loving, parade going, other language learning, soccer loving (watch only), art loving, various ethnic food eating, greek/french/arabic/italian music loving, cultural festival going, travel loving, person. I have noticed very much that Canadians are extremely polite and tolerant. Everyone says thank you and please all the time! If you do not say that it is considered rude. People smile at you on the subway and everyone is respectfull when it comes to staying in line at a grocery store. Canadians are tolerant to other cultures, races and ethnicities. A lot of people in eastern europe are not so tolerant and respectfull and polite as Canadians are. I have acquired those Canadian ways and values. I have also maintained my roots that I was born into - my Baltic Russian roots. I continue to keep up my first language, I follow many of the Russian traditions, and I absolutely love Russian and Baltic food. I am also learning French, Canada's second official langauge, I feel that it is a big part of Canadian culture which is a part of my culture now. I am used to having a lot of space - in Canada there is a lot of space. I am used to being able to buy what I want (most of the time) because I am able to work - Canada gives many opportunities for those people who want to work, make money and support themselves. I appreciate Canadian opportunities, values, cultural tolerance, Toronto's Multiculturalism and the fact that I am able to encounter and communicate with a person who immigrated to Canada from a land far far away. I would not have been able to do that if my fammily had never left Latvia. But I do not feel that i am 100% Canadian. I feel that I must add something else to it. Therefore I prefer to consider myself as a "Baltic Russian"- Canadian. Or maybe, this type of classification indeed is a part of Canadian culture itself, since virtually everyone who lives in Canada has roots that came from somewhere else.
