Luxembourg is known to have the best health care system in the world. In Luxembourg, every citizen has health care insurance and each member is protected by basic medical coverage. Citizens in Luxembourg have health care taxes taken out of each check which is on average 5.44 percent of gross income (Health Management, 2017). Dependents are covered under their guardians who pay health care taxes. Another perk of the Luxembourg health care system is that students are covered for free until the age of 27.

Lizeth Galindo May 27, 2015 APWH/Period 2 Japan vs. United States How was the relationship of Japan and United States after Pearl Harbor? The whole world was thrown into wars in the late 1930’s. Countries fought one another with devastating consequences. Thousands of lives were ended in a matter of seconds and numerous generations were scarred for an eternity.

Did you know that the USA and Finland are both free countries? It’s cool to think that there are other free countries other than the USA. Finland has similar freedoms in the United States: Finnish citizens can own firearms legally, and both men and women can join the Finnish military. The United States has a list of freedoms called the Bill of Rights. The United States has laws against many drugs. I think that the United States has the best government because the United States has 13 Amendments that our country stands by, and no one is allowed to change them which provides a safe country.

Because Japan and France both existed within the genre of feudal society, they shared many economic similarities. Both feudal systems had common qualities of fief organization, similar inheritance customs, taxing systems and issues with debt, and the lack of social mobility characteristic of feudalism.

Government: United States vs. United Kingdom On July 4th, 1776 the United States became a country to evade the ways of Great Britain, but in all reality, the United States government is very much the same as Great Britain today. When you think of the United States, you think of Democracy, but it isn’t far from the monarchy of Great Britain. Although there are some differences between the government of the United States and the United Kingdom, there are vast similarities between the two.

93% of high schoolers and graduate, whereas it's only 75.5% in the United States. This shows how there are more graduates in Finland than in the United States. Many have been saying that, as for education, “United States stands at the top,” which is not not true due to the fact that Finland has a better curriculum. The United States curriculum is not nearly as good as Finland’s because Finland has a Multidisciplinary curriculum, there are shorter days in Finland, and their school structure is improved.

Did you know that the sun in Finland doesn’t go down during the summer? Weather from the US is extremely different, but yet amazing from Finland. Finland is also a very small country with very little people compared to the US. Even the animals in Finland and the US can be different, but that’s the point. Both countries are different in many ways that make them special to the people, animals, and even plants living there.

Vacation; "an extended period of recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling." (google) Although, there is only one definition for vacation, each vacation spot has it's own "claim to fame". Maui, Hawaii and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, have many things in common, but little do people know they are actually quite diverse. I've got to experience both places, and compare them to each other.

Finland and USA have many different strategies when it comes to education. When it comes to school days, recess, and salary the US and Finland are the complete opposite. Each places have very unique ways of teaching compared to each other. Technology is used constantly in the US but is almost never used in Finland teaching. In my opinion I think that the US is better than Finland.

The difference between healthcare systems in the United States and the healthcare systems in Sweden.

In Finland though, where they are number one in the world, it costs much less and has many appealing factors. For instance, when the minister of education told Michael Moore the children had no homework he had to ask a question. Moore asked, “Wait, so you reduced the homework you give them at school?” She replies with, “Yes, yes. They should have more time to be kids, to be youngsters, to enjoy the life” (Where to Invade Next).

In one of Kentridge’s animated films/drawings, it documents the lives of Felix Teitlebaum, a nude individual in which everyone can relate to his fragility that seems to be speaking of the universal human condition and Soho Eckstein is a ruthless industrialist. Through the film, Soho becomes even more cruel and then becomes a foil in personal indiscretions of Felix, this includes an affair with the wife of Soho and then a melancholy flood threatens to drown Felix in Exile. Picture shown of William Kentridge, drawing from Felix in Exile, 1994.

It is noteworthy that Finland is a small and homogenous country. However, Finland is not quite homogenous anymore. On the other hand, it is not a multicultural nation compared to the United States. While Finnish society has become more culturally diverse due to the immigrants, it is still a homogenous country in terms of culture, values, linguistic, and social cohesion (Sahlberg, 2014). For example, in term of language, Finland is a trilingual country, where the official languages are Finnish, Swedish, and Sami. Approximately, 91% of the population has Finnish as a native language, 5.4% Swedish and 0.03% Sámi (Graeffe & Lestinen, 2011).

A lot of people love traveling and most of them need special places to go to. Some people travel to have fun and some of them travel to study or work. Each country has a special place that makes it different from the rest of the countries, for example the food in China, fashion in Paris, and education in America. There are a lot of Saudi students traveling to America to study. Some of students choose a small city, because it's safer and cheaper than the other states and some of them choose a big city, because they need places of entertainment or the best universities.
