Similarities Between The American And The United States

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.

The issues that face workers is ever changing, in modern times a lot of the original issues seem to have been solved. Long hours, have been be replaces with mandated working hours defined by law, safety issues can be covered by OSHA, age limits again are decreed in law. Comparing modern day America to 1800’s America and the stark contrast in working conditions creates room for a strong argument opposing Unions and any tangible outcome they may produce besides lining their own pockets

The United State has always been weak in public transportation and mass transit tools. California was once supposed to be different and revolutionized. Trolleys connecting the suburbs to the city and business districts was the main reason why cities expanded vertically. These mass transit tools organized the transits in an extremely environmentally friendly way. But the venue of cars and the thought of independence flattered americans pushing them to each buy a car, synonym of their independence. Now the trains and connecting public transportations have practically disappeared and are irrelevant.

Transportation in the region has a long and successful past. However, public transportation has consistently taken a back seat to the personal automobile. There has been a strong core of persons who rely on public transportation to achieve mobility, and governmental

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.

In World Cultures my freshman year, we learned about the zeitgeist theory. This theory says that as a culture passes from the dominant world culture to a subsidiary culture, they pass on their knowledge and glory to their successor. Zeitgeist is actually a German term, meaning “time ghost,” signifying that the ghost, or soul, of a culture is passed through time. Currently, America is the dominant culture in the world, and more and more we are noticing the soul of Rome popping up in our day to day lives.

The first major difference is the food, of course the food is different all across Europe compared to the United States, just because we have different types of food. In America we like to imitate other countries food, trying to bring different cuisines to everyone 's diet. For example; Italian, Greek, Chinese, Asian, and many other different cuisines. Swiss food you rarely see in America, like the fondue, that is something America has put a twist on, trying to imitate that certain dish. Roclette has just now been introduced to America, and it’s one of the bigger hits now, but it is nice to know we have had it in Switzerland from where it is originally from. Another difference in food, is that nothing in Switzerland is processed, no preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup, and no dyes. Another thing that is different with the foods, is having freshly produced chocolate that is out of this world. It is a disappointment to go back to America and crave chocolate to only have the options of either getting Hershey 's, which will not taste as good or as smooth, or find European chocolate for more than $5. But not all of American food is bad, we are known for

This culture is primarily viewed as Western culture because of America’s strong ties to Europe. Although America is based on Western culture, it shares many ideas stemming from African, Latin American, Native American, Asian, and Polynesian culture. America is alive with a multitude of different cultures. In many cities across America, you will find section called Little Tokyo, Little China, Little Puerto Rico and so on. It is country to share new ideas and different ways of living to be appreciated.

Comparison and contrast of evident similarities and bright contrasts between United States of America and one of the European country – Poland. Both of the countries have similar environment, geographic shapes: mountains, seas, lakes and forests, but different climates. There also differences between politic, religion, nation, history, and culture.

In this time era it is easy to tell that the Europeans was the strongest and best when in comparism to the Americans and Africans. Sure there may have been a couple of systems where they were the same but the Europeans were superior in every way. In fact this was the reason why took over the Americans and Africans and taking thier goods. The political, economic, and religous system of the europeans was the best and that’s why after contact the Americans and Africans had to follow the Euoropean ways.

Americanism is the love for the cultures, ideals, and thoughts of the United States. Americanism hasn't always been embraced, and to this day is rarely appreciated. The origin of Americanism dates back to colonial America, after the French and Indian War, but before the American Revolution. During this time frame, the British and colonists had a very tense relationship. Many colonists did not agree with the British on the taxes, and specifically the Coercive Acts, while many others remained neutral on the issue not wanting to start a war. The colonists who broke away from British ideology declared themselves Americans, and the colonies as America.

Public transportation is serious need of a massive overhaul in this nation. We are in desperate need to catch up to the European standard of public transportation in this country. In Europe, citizens can travel across cities, bodies of water, and even counties with their state of the art public transportation system. Europeans are not nearly as reliant on cars and oil as the United States is because they have the much more practical option of taking the transportation provided to them by the government to where ever they need to go. They have set a model that the United States needs to strive for and meet in the near future.

1. There are a number of major differences between the values and lifestyles of Europeans, compared with Americans. Europeans are accustomed to taking long vacations and doing so during specific peak times geared around summer breaks and national holidays. Americans prefer shorter breaks. The longer vacations make it difficult for Europeans to pay high hotel fees, for example. Eating is another difference. Much less uptight about alcohol, Europeans found it strange to have no wine or beer with their food, and to be served in American-style restaurants is something that they might do once in a while, but not all the time. These traits derive from a number of key value differences. Holiday time is a shared experience for a lot of Europeans, with all family members participating and people taking their vacations at the same time. This is a break that is much sought after all year. In addition, Europeans take a more responsible approach to their vacations. They seldom splash out on overpriced food and hotels, which meant that EuroDisney's price points were well away from European expectations.

Euro Disney could not modify the main theme of other Disney parks to create something unique for Europeans. Restaurants were not prepared according to the European eating habits and one of the biggest mistakes was not selling alcoholic beverages in the park which has very close connection with French culture. Customers had to leave the park to buy those from outside.

In all countries transportation has always been a staple I every community, city, state and country. Without some form of transportation it would take forever for one person to point B from point A. To solve the issue people began using animals as transportation. The horse was the most popular form of transportation because it was very fast and multiple people could ride on a horse at a time. Then people began being transported by horse and buggy, which eventually led to trains and cars. Today transportation is no longer an issue, but the price for transportation is a huge issue. With gas prices constantly rising year after year and cost of living going up, people in society are trying to live more efficiently. To live more efficiently Taxis and metro were created but today they are no longer the most efficient way to travel. To travel efficiently a company in the United States created something called UBER. Uber is the next big thing when it comes to travel efficiency and it would benefit other countries as well.
