Mosiac culture
At first, it is important to explain these both metaphores. The expression "cultural mosaic" appeared for the first time in 1922 when Victoria Haward described the Canadian West with its peculiar architecture and its polyglot population as a "mosaic of vast dimensions and great breath"(1). It is often related to the term multiculturalism which is used to refer to a multitude of different cultures in a society or some areas in a city where people of different cultures coexist(2). In other words, it implies that immigrants, and others, should preserve their cultures and the different cultures should "interact peacefully within one nation" (3). This idea is sometimes used in contrast to the "melting pot" one. The metaphore comes from Israel Zanngwill's play The Melting Pot in 1908. It showed the American assimilation experience of immigrants in the U.S: "the Great Alchemist melts and fuses ...all nations and races"(4). The "melting pot" expression means the ingredients in the pot which represent people of different backgrounds, religions and ethnicity,etc are "processed" until they lose their formal/ previous? identities what give a final uniform "product"(5). In this way, immigrants coming to America are supposed to abandon their historic identities and adopt the American way. It's a kind of amalgation. The Internet is defined as the worldwide interconnection of individual networks operated by government, industry, academia, and private parties. Originally the Internet served to interconnect laboratories engaged in government research, and since 1994 it has been expanded to serve millions of users and a multitude of purposes in all parts of the world.
Mosaics in society
In a matter of very few years, the Internet has consolidated itself as a very powerful platform that has changed the way we do business, and the way we communicate. The Internet, as no other communication medium, has given an International or, if you prefer, a "Globalized" dimension to the world. Internet has become the Universal source of information for millions of people, at home, at school, and at work.
Patterns everywhere
Even if both countries are nations of immigrants at the beginning, they have not the same policy toward them and not the same experiences as well. Indeed, At first, America believed in the building of a nation of individual right and favoured the unity of the nation more than the diversity because of its independence and revolutionnary origin whereas Canada legitimated the hierarchy based on ethnicity especially with the persistence of French culture and language(6).
