Religions are very different in both countries. In the US most people
are Christian, but there is a freedom of religion so you have the right to
practice any religion that you want to. In China they are against religion,
because it brings people away from communism, they want communism to be the
official religion of China. Status symbols of living in the US are things that
you can buy, cars, houses, clothes ect. In China everyone is given an equal
amount of money because of the communist society, so it is much harder to have
these sort of things. US people value money, the next thing they are saving up
for, a new boat, or something else of value. But in China their values are
different, mostly because of their communist government. They want to do
everything for the good of the group, or their country, the more they can help
out the better.
The government of China you probably already know, it's one of the last
communist governments left in the world. In a communist government the
government runs everything, the businesses and jobs, they pay everyone equally.
This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter
how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a
Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for
us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has
been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a
Democratic-Republic, that was the reason why the United States was formed.
China though has not always been communist. In 1949 Mao Se Dung started the
Communist revolution and changed China to a Communist country and it has been
Communist ever since then. There are no social classes in a Communist society
everyone is equal and on the same level, because everyone is supposed to have<...

Throughout history, minorities have been ill-represented in the criminal justice system, particularly in cases where the possible outcome is death. In early America, blacks were lynched for the slightest violation of informal laws and many of these killings occured without any type of due process. As the judicial system has matu...
The drinking age in the United States is a contradiction. At the age of eighteen, one can drive a car, vote in an election, get married, serve in the military and buy tobacco products. In the United States you are legally an adult at eighteen. An eighteen-year-old, however, can not purchase alcoholic beverages. The minimum drinking...
Appearance is everything. The saying could be the foundation for a religious cult among American teens. Movies, music, and tv commercials create an Orwellian world where everyone think, acts, and looks the same.

Whoever said men and women are equal must have been blind. Women have always taken a back seat to men in American society. This occurrence is not only found in the United States, but in other countries as well. It's safe to say that the Declaration of Independence started it and it has continued to the present. There is one set of standards...

Since disarming the citizens of this country is the objective of the federal government, and since the federal government proclaims this to be a democratic country based upon equality, then any gun control measures adopted by the government should be democratically applied. If law abiding citizens are to have their guns taken fr...

could be considered a paradox. "Constructive" implies the intention of advancing a good purpose or to provide help. Conversely, "criticism" (of course) suggests that an individual or item is being judged severely, and the feedback returned in a harsh manner. Constructive criticism, in principle, expands to utilize both of the above methods by essen...
s are alike in some aspects of life, while being dissimilar in other aspects. This idea is clearly exemplified when one compares their own experience and knowledge of culture in America to that description and portrayal of Nigerian culture as seen through Buchi Emecheta's novel, The Wrestling Match. Both of our societies can be looked at as paral...
