After living in the USA for the past four years, I have noticed the differences and similarities between United States and Poland, and how the lifestyles differ from each other; the differences are: Poland is less crowded than USA, the houses are a lot larger, and Poles live a much more relaxed life than most people in America. In Poland, there are narrow streets, fewer highways, fewer cars, fewer industries, while here, in the United States are busy streets with horns, fast highways, high developed industries; all of this make United States crowded.

Prior to the onset of WWII, conditions throughout occupied Poland & Belarus varied greatly. In some areas, especially in eastern Poland, which the Soviet Union invaded in 1939, and subsequently "formally" annexed, the situation was particularly volatile.1
Are all of the countries in North America identical? Sure, they might have a few similarities, such as government system or language spoken, but they are all vastly unique. Just the same, Feudal Japan and Imperial China, despite being close neighbors, had many differences to them. In this essay, I will list the geographic and political differences between the two former nations. Feudal Japan and Imperial China had many political differences.
But this overview of the similarities is mainly where the similarities end and the differences begin.
If these two civilizations were given a problem they would have different solutions because of their way of thinking. If they had a transportation problem for instance in the 21-century, one would look at it in an emotional human way and the other would look at it in an economical way.

In our country, The United States has always been a great place to visit, move with family or just simply drive through for the scenery. Gladly, there are other countries that are far more beautiful to see because of the region that it lies.

Let me give a great example in this case, the mandarins from Italy and Greece are very similar, because the mandarins are grow in cold and lacking of sunlight season. But compare the mandarins from Italy and the mandarins from Greece, Italy's one will be smaller but sweeter than the Greece's one, because Greece's one grow in a season that is full of sunlight and water, so Greece's one will grow bigger but not as sweet as Italy's one.
The consumption of spices is very high (for example the récipes of bigos?). It is because Poland is geographically located on the trade route to the Eastern countries, that is why they benefited from lower prices.
The Slavic Pope’s Return to Poland: An Analysis of language and common themes used by the pope to influence Poland

Under the control of Hitler from 1918-1939 Poland was under serious attack. Concentration camps were being constructed and Poles were possible targets because, at the time, Poland was home to the worlds largest Jewish population (Polish Diaspora). In 1939 Poland was invaded by Germany and was put under the Soviet Union’s control. One cultural aspect Poles like to exercises is their right to freedom and to be different, but under the rule of the USSR it was very hard to express ones individuality and religion. Communism called for unionism and the Poles disliked this way of life. This lack of personal freedom handicapped the Polish culture, not allowing it to grow because many Poles were not known as wealthy. Because Poland was lacking in artistic culture Paris became their center for literacy and artistic expression (Barnett, 374). Many feared for their lives around this time and fled to America in the 20’s, allowing for the spread of Polish values over seas.
