Differences In America

Have you ever wondered how High Schools are in other countries? Despite sharing some minor similarities, the differences between Nicaraguan and American High School education are clear. Such as, note-taking methods, grading system, classroom environment.

Have the American people thought about their life in the future? Will People need long term care? One long term care option is an Assisted Living Facility. Assisted livings need to be ran effectively with consideration of elder’s health, wellness and safety; while maintaining a balance between care and daily business functions. As people get older, there comes a point in time where family may need to make the decision to put a loved one in an assisted living facility. It is not an easy decision to make but the family or individual has to decide what the best next step may be.

Culture is a very vital part of the world as we know it today. There are very many different cultures all around the world. In the USA, we have a mix of all the different cultures and and family values. From the original Native Americans that inhabited America to the Middle Eastern people in Afghanistan. These people groups have brought their language, food, values, and customs with them.

Which is why after reading this, I think what matters most when I envision eldercare is not only having a variety of engaging activities but also having family members visit them often and to even take them out for lunch or home for the

Over the past 100 years, the United States has changed the way it views other cultures including more respect, equality, and freedom for all people. As much as America has grown, has America really changed that drastically? Across the nation and world, cultural differences still exist, misunderstandings continue, and fighting persists. Recent attacks within the United States that are similar to the conflicts between the Japanese and Americans in the early 1900’s include the 9/11 attack, the bombing at the Boston Marathon, and the mass shooting in Orlando.

The fundamentals of Japanese and American social hierarchy are different. In Japan the social structure is based off of a hierarchy, and older people are treated with more respect than younger people. On the other hand, in the USA social status is derived from multiple factors; age not being one of them. In addition to the way social status is decided in Japan, the way people treat each other is also vastly different than in the USA. In Japan people treat each other with much more respect and curtsy than in the USA. furthermore the hierarchal nature of Japanese society even extends into the business world. An excerpt from the textbook, Global Business Language, shows this: “ They want to know who has the higher social status and where they themselves need to fit in among the people involved in the

America is a special country with heavily influenced cultures. The uniqueness that the United States carries shows its individuality, but also its unity.

An elderly people suffer from numerous challenges. Office for National Statistics analysis shows 600,000 increase between 2001 and 2011 in a number of people living on their own. Almost 60 percent of people aged

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.” This quote is from Mother Teresa, and I strongly agree with what she said. Nurses make great impacts in the lives of people everyday. I will use my nursing degree to benefit the United States of America by impacting the lives of each individual person that I care for. I feel that if I can make an impact in the people’s lives that I care for I can, in the end, help make a difference in America as a whole.

Based on my experience in Eastern Europe and in North America, I fully embrace both Serbian and the different cultures that are in Canada. In the summer, I try to go to as many Serbian events as possible and at these events, there is traditional music, food and dancing which I enjoy so much. Unfortunately, I have not gone to many events of different cultures but I do like to educate myself about different customs and traditions in order to build on my awareness and knowledge of different types of cultures. I am Christian Orthodox in which I celebrate Christmas on January 7th and I always enjoy going to the church services for this Christmas celebration. Also, I fast where I do not eat dairy or meat products for a few weeks before Easter and

In detail, in 1940, the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the USA. In the following years, the proportion of elderly in both USA and Sweden rose dramatically and reached a peak of 15% and nearly 13% respectively in 1980. But the proportion in Japan declined slightly over the same period.

I feel that these distinctions are important to Americans, only because they want to find someone to blame for economic and social issues. For instance, I have heard ignorant people state that Mexicans are the reason that Americans can’t find jobs. The reality is, that many act like they are too good to clean a toilet or do many of the jobs they are willing to do. Another ignorant statement is that Blacks are more likely to do crime, the reality is that our environment and other factors can influence someone behavior. Instead of finding a solution, we are trying to find someone to blame or prove that we are superior.

The rare but beloved by all but one, aspic gelatin that shows up during certain “Russian parties.”

There is not one image of an elder in the United States. The older population is heterogeneous. There is considerable sociocultural, socioeconomic and demographic diversity in our elders (U. S. Census Bureau, 2000). Persons of minority descent, including Hispanic Whites, accounted for about 16% of the U.S. population in 2000 (Longino & Bradley, 2005). Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans are the fastest growing segment of the minority aging population (Longino & Bradley, 2005). Factors such as age cohort, gender, ethnicity and cultural background, sexual orientation, rural or urban living environment, education, religion and current and historical living situation are all pertinent to the study of elders in the United States.

I have learned that, in Japan, aging is viewed differently than in America. In Japan, many of the elders are looked upon as wise sages and children honor and care for their parents. I have read that the Japanese concepts of aging are rooted in Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist philosophy and traditions that equate aging as maturity. In Japan, aging seems to have a socially valuable part in life as a time to reflect and rest after a busy life. During this time of reflection, the elders try to gain transcendental understanding. They learn to develop an acceptance of death and to act as a neutral contributor to social interactions. (Karasawa, et. al,
