Usa and Russian Education

With the development of a progressive and civilized society, education becomes a greater priority. In separate countries, there are distinct differences in the systems and methods by which education is practiced. The Canadian secondary school educational system is different from the Chinese education system in four main areas: the subjects offered for study, requirements for graduation, the authority of the teachers and the physical aspects of the institutions.

Many people are comfortable with their career and/or degree once they have been achieved. Once someone has accomplished their life long goal, they usually settle down and do not continue to educate themselves on anything other than what is within their field. Many individuals stay in their comfort zone, whether it be being a cashier, a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, a musician, a teacher, etc. They do not feel the need to expand their knowledge because that is not their job, but someone else’s. That should not be the case, though. Individuals should always strive to be better and more educated no matter what degree, past education, or career they have. The short story by Torie Bosch titled “First, Eat All the Lawyers,” is effective in using

In the 1970’s Finland was not at the top of the education chain, in fact their education system was doing poorly (NEA). Finland has been changing their education system over the past 35 years to make their education system better. They have changed their education system to become very successful. When looking at the differences between the United States education system and Finland education system has obvious differences between the testing, the paths for the students to take, time management during school hours, and the environment of the classroom.

In Russian standards it is possible for everyone to achieve a higher education without ending up with a lot of loans to the government because most of education is free. For that reason, many people in Russia have bachelor

A comparison between the U.S. constitution and Russian constitution is interesting due to the fact that America is often regarded (at least from the view of most Americans) as the pinnacle of freedom and democracy. The Russian Federation on the other hand has a much more complex image. The Russian Federation was formerly a country known as the Soviet Union, which was the pinnacle of communism throughout the 1900’s. Communism is a polar governmental structure compared to the U.S. The Russian Federation is today classified as a democracy, however, there are still remnants of the communist structure seen among leaders as a result of the way that the constitution is constructed.

With the development of the modern state, education has been a decisive factor in affecting the international status and impacts of a country. People pay more attention to education quality and provide advanced study facilities so that their country can have a faster development. With many conflicting different education forms, it is necessary to compare and contrast them for getting a better understanding of the education system in the world. The education here refers to teaching quality, different education level system, the policy and the well-being from the government about education. I will explain the similarities and differences about the education in Finnish and Japan.

Throughout the entire world, two of the most distinct and dominant countries are Russia and America. While they are similar in size, they are very culturally diverse and feature distinct differences in language, food and religion. Firstly, the languages of Russia and America vary greatly. Although research from the Modern Language Association states that the languages of English and Russian are predominantly spoken in their native countries, their alphabets and sentence manners decidedly oppose each other. While English-speaking Americans use a basic English alphabet and are able to communicate formally with relative ease, Russians use a complex Cyrillic alphabet that leads to a distinguished, less formal way of speaking that switches between

The British Psychological Society states that ‘Psychology is the scientific study of people, the mind and behaviour’ (BPS). In this essay I will be discussing what is actually meant by this and whether psychology fits into both the traditional views of a science, as well as more contemporary perspectives. It is widely suggested that Psychology is a “coalition of specialities” meaning it is multi-disciplinary (Hewstone, Fincham and Foster 2005, page 4). I will therefore examine whether it could be considered wrong to think that all parts of the discipline should neatly fit into one view of a scientific approach.

There were contextual forces as well as work in America to foster the growth of applied psychology. The number of people with a Ph. D. in psychology rose and there were not enough academic positions to employ them, and when one attained a teaching job many administrations did not value (or fund) psychology programs. As psychology was a newest science when compared to physics and chemistry…received smallest financial support, so need to proof that psychology is useful in solving social, educational and industrial problem in order to improve budgets. An emerging societal problem was a dramatic increase in public school enrollment, which opened doors for some psychologists. Thus, the focus of psychology shifted towards the application in solving real-world problem.

Different countries can have similarities and contrasts related to the college life and style, and here are some of them between Brazil and the United States. Both Brazilian and American colleges have the same class style, which most times includes Power Point presentations with theory and, sometimes, simple examples. Furthermore, both countries colleges has the same type of assignments, which are researches, reports, projects and class presentations. However, they are different when the topic is classes and homework, because Brazilian colleges have longer classes and almost no homework, while American colleges have shorter classes and much more homework. Moreover, Brazil's best colleges are those that are maintained by the government, which

Russia is a huge landmass and covers a vast amount of the earth’s surface area. Being so large, Russia contains a huge variety of different geographical features. There are several mountains, rivers, bodies of water, climate zones, and population centers in Russia. Most of the development in Russia is located in its core area, east of the Ural Mountains. There are several countries around Russia that used to be parts of a larger union called The Union of Soviet Socialists Republics, however, in 1991, the USSR broke apart into several other independent states. The new states that were formed are: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and

Russian is a beautiful and unique language. To everyone listening, it can sound soft, gentle, and lyrical. It expands across eleven time zones and two continents. It is spoken by at least two million people. It is a language with so much to offer. Russian has its fair share of a rich history, multiple advantages and ways to learn it, easy parts, difficult parts, and interesting facts. Russian is an East Slavic language. It is closely related to Ukrainian and Belarusian. All three are part of the Eastern Slavonic group, which emerged in the tenth century. The Cyrillic alphabet, which is the alphabet used to write in Russian, was invented in the ninth century. It is closely based on the Greek alphabet. Only about a dozen letters were invented to represent Slavic sounds (History of The Russian Language). After doing some research, it became clear that learning Russian is not only good for

Russia, officially known as the Russian Federation, has a total area of 17,098,242 sq km (“The World Factbook”) and is the largest country in the world. It is about 1.8 times the size of the United States (“The World Factbook”). Most of Russia is either large stretches of plains or areas with a lot of forests and mountains, with the exception of the Siberian Tundra. It is difficult to perfectly describe Russia’s climate because of it’s large size. However, in general, the country only has two seasons, summer and winter. In the summer they have very warm, continental weather and they have very harsh winters with a lot of snow. Russia is plentiful in natural resources. They are particularly

Furthermore, spoiled work, damages, and accidents to equipment and machinery can be kept to a minimum by well trained employees, continued training helps employees develop their ability to learn by adapting themselves to new work methods, learning to use new kinds of equipment, and adjusting to major changes in work relationships and job content, also, through training, new employees learn to measure up to standards for performance, thereby satisfying their human need for personal growth and increasing their value to the organisation (Pigors and Myers 1977).
