As an adult if I were forced to leave the United States of America and live in another country I would have to choose Germany. The reasons I would move to Germany would have to mainly do with my future career choices. In Germany they have a problem with their immigrant population and are always looking for ways to expand it, seen as how accepting they are of oversee college students from around the world. As it is, their most appealing part of going to Germany is their free college classes. Not only do they offer free classes in German but as time goes on more and more classes are being offered in English and there are many opportunities to take free classes to help people learn their language. If I can succeed in graduating in the higher percentages of my classes and am bilingual by then I have a good chance of getting a teaching job there. An average salary for all levels of teachers is $64,200 per year and can increase if you get a promotion or work for a private school. …show more content…
One of the hardest problems I would be forced to face in Germany would be leaving my family behind in the states, as it is, I may not be the closest person to my family I am still used to having them around and being with me. More people I would miss would be my friends I have in America, the fact I spend almost the same amount of time with my friends as I do my family, it would be hard to give up and move to another country. The strangest thing I would have to get used to in Germany would be the culture and language changes that come along with going to any country you didn’t grow up in. For instance the food people eat in Germany is much different from day to day food in America. Germany has an older fashioned architecture to how American buildings are built here and it would take a while to get used to how things are there, little or small
Another huge part of my life that comes from my German heritage is the foods that my family and I eat. Germans eat a lot of meats. The main meat that my family and I have is pork and sometimes steak. Pork is a very common food in Germany. We even have sausage occasionally. My whole family sits at the dinner table while my father and grandpa cook our dinners. Another thing that the adults do is drink beer on special occasions. My cousins and I are under age so we obviously can’t have
As far as I am concerned, moving to the United States has taught me a lot. Indeed, even though I had already come to this country several times before for vacation, there are a lot of aspects that I had not thought about. For instance, its people, their mentalities, the culture, the system especially in education. When I first arrived, I had a hard time transitioning from the French to the American system. In addition, the
Classes offered are very similar. “No matter whether they have German or expat parents, they must start to attend one of the many elementary schools in Germany”, (“Schools”). The school day is almost the same but, school over there is shorter. “Over the past few years, though, more and more schools in Germany have started offering full-time education in the afternoon as well. They feature study hours for homework, more extracurricular activities and a hot lunch”, (“Schools”). Finally they are graded very differently and put into groups. Education here in the world today is helping us
At the end of world war I, the European countries got together to decide what Germany's punishments should be after losing the war. The terms that they came up with were nearly impossible for Germany to meet, these terms included Germany to pay in gold, in land, in resources, and to reduce military strength. Also they had to take full responsibility for causing world war I.
The most difficult time i have faced was when I moved from Texas. I was born in San Antonio, Texas and I lived there for about 6 years. San Antonio was so much fun just because y enitre famly lived withing 10 minutes of each other. Then, we had to move to Midland, Texas, that move was not very hard just because i was so young so i was not ery attatched to things and people around me, besides my family. We lived in Midland for about 4 years after that and it was my favorite town. The people the energy of the people there was so awesome I loved it. Then one day we got the call that had to move again. We were already pretty far from our family and so to learn that we had to move even farther was devistating. So thats when we had to leave the state
German immigrants have been a significant part of U.S. history since colonial times. Throughout Old Immigration, they were one of the leading immigrant groups, along with the Irish. In addition, many German Americans settled in Pittsburgh, influencing our city as well as the entire United States. German immigrants to the U.S. were, and still are significant for many reasons, including their religious and social activism, their unique culture, and the many hardships they faced here.
Proceeding to a different country is in, step forward to your life, but it can also be different from your original habits. If I were to travel to a different country, I would move to England for its good community. In that location would be trials for me to overcome my different habitats. Becoming a citizen will be a struggle to adjust to but it's not impossible to surmount.
With the German immigrants settling in their new country they will have to follow new rules and laws that was set in place for everyone to follow so that the country can maintain order. They will have to get used to these rules since Germany most likely did not follow the exact same laws that the US did. If they break the law then they will be arrested like any other citizen of the USA. German immigrants could expect their journey to be very long, disgusting, tiresome, harsh, etc. During the trip alone many people became severely ill and died. They will most likely be placed and have to travel the way below deck in an area known as the steerage, this is where the steering mechanism for the ship is located. When they arrive in the US they will have to go through customs where officials will inspect them. The officials will inspect the person for any diseases he/she is carrying the official will also ask about the persons back round, and political views. If the person in fails any of these categories he/she will be denied entrance into the US. As a German immigrant you will most likely move to Texas; which is where many German settlers went. Germans founded communities such as Fredericksburg. Germans got jobs such as farmers or other jobs such as baking or sewing. Immigrants most likely followed and settled in places where other people from their country resided. This would allow them to keep traditions and would make them feel more comfortable in a new country where there were all different types of people. Life will be difficult to manage and get the hang of once the immigrants settle because they are in a totally new country with new everything compared to the country they are from. They will have to adapt to their surroundings for example the form of government, money, language, people, and so on and so forth. But, after they live in America for a while they will get use to living life in the
There are a lot of of differences when it comes to comparing two nations together, there is a lot to think about. For example what could we compare? You could compare money intake for each household, you could just compare two nations just using something as simple as culture or maybe race. When comparing Germany to America you still have a lot of differences like the fact that in Germany you are legally allowed to drink and gamble anywhere in Germany at the age of 18. Germany has very small families, most families in Germany only have one kid, a big family would be considered at around maybe 2-3 people.
When it comes to death, Germans own the highest rate of dying. They are required by law to purchase a coffin even if their loved one's are cremated. Over fifty percent of the German population is cremated to avoid burial services. Those who chose to be buried are only allowed to “rest” in cemeteries for ten to thirty years due to space limitations. Healthcare in Germany is only a bit different from American Healthcare. German Residents are required to belong to a sickness fund, and insurance companies are required to accept them. The residents pay half of the sickness fund costs, and employers pay the other half. There is also a limitation on out of pocket expenses, so it’s almost impossible for Germans to be in debt from any medical bills.
The German Deserter notes that some of their men were full of enthusiasm and others were depressed. The German Deserter was in the depressed group because he was in his second year of military service and was scheduled to leave barracks in six weeks. He believed the war was the greatest misfortune in humanity and he was anti-military. He goes on to discuss how cigars and beer were distributed by officers with uncommon liberality and that soldiers were not sober and did not realize what was happening during the situation. For the German Deserter, the order of assembling and making troop supplies became known on August 1st. They left the town of Garrison, but did not know who their enemy during the battle was. At the time, Russia was the only
Yes it’s very different and I had less subjects here than in Germany. And school made more fun in Australia. I wish I had finished my school in Australia and then went back to Germany.
The idea of moving to a different state or country can be terrifying for most people. I know for me it was. I was born and raised in New Jersey and had a decent job. Life was going great for me; at least that is what I thought. I had a lot of friends and family that had been around me my whole life. Moving away from all of this was not an option for me, until I got married and had children. By the time my daughter hit five years old, I was rushed to make a decision that would change my life forever. I had to decide whether I wanted her to go to school in New Jersey or Key West. This meant leaving my friends and family behind, and somehow depriving my children from growing up around their family.
This world is filled with many social problems; a lot of them are nearly impossible to come up with a solution for. Many of the world's social problems such as poverty, violence, pollution, prostitution, AIDS, drug abuse, and unemployment, some of the most widespread and unfortunate social problems, are more prevalent in our world's cities and urban areas. This is true not because people that live in urban areas are less honorable, but cities, and more urbanized areas attract people who don't meet the social norm and have and/or want to be around people that are in the same situation as they are. Artists, musicians, actors, and many assorted personality types inhabit cities to get away from the slow suburban lifestyle; and
Why do you want to spend a year in Germany specifically rather than in another European country?
