Comparing Governments

on March 7, 2013

What did you learn that surprised you?

It was interesting to learn that every country has some type of  different government than the US. I didn’t know there were so many countries with lots of Political parties. I knew the US had four, but I didn’t realize that other countries like Poland, have 8 or more.

How do you think about yourself or your world differently, because of what you learned?

I see the world as a more structured place. I never knew there were so many people that over-see their country. Every country has a organized government- which I never knew.

How were your countries’ government similar to the US?

       – In structure? Poland and the Philippines have a Republic type government, just like the US.  All 3 of the countries I researched, have the 3 branches of government.

       – In how they dealt with issues?  In the Philippines, there was a shooting on Friday, which made the President call members of a clan occupying a Malaysian village, to surrender to avoid bloodshed. I didn’t really understand this issue/current event, but I do know that the US would not have handled it like this.
