This paper is a comparison of the lives of two influential statesmen in western culture, one British and the other American. Great Britain and the United States have had a long and sometimes complicated relationship throughout history. Who is theoretically the parent versus the child in the relationship between these two nations? Which nation building philosophy was best? Whose nation sustaining and building methods worked the best? Should or would our nation building goals ever the same? Our historical relationship might question that we have anything in common. A review of scholarly and popular literature of the day discusses commonalities in goals of both of these two political figures, securing wealth and influence for their …show more content…

Each country in the world is composed of various social institutions- a set of organized beliefs and rules that establish how a society attempts to meet its basic needs. Some countries owe their success and power to the way in which their social institutions are structured. Although, one successful country may operate some of their social institutions and family patterns incompletely different manners or with just minute differences, they may still manage to be just about as successful as the other successful country. Two such countries are the United States of America, and the Kingdom of Denmark. Both of these countries are very highly technologized and heavily successful. However, their social institutions and family patterns of education, dating and courtship, marriage and the family, alternative forms of marriage, divorce and remarriage, and the role of men and women in business and culture, and health, to name a few, have both similarities and differences in the ways in which they operate.

Western Europe has grown exponentially since the colonial period, and the emergence of the Republic of Ireland and a unified United Kingdom has clearly shown that Europe’s boarders are constantly changing. Each nation has evolved in its own ways over the course of its existence, but both show many similarities that are highly visible in governing styles, political parties, and the societies themselves. These differences are what separate the two states from one another. Since Ireland received independence from Great Britain in 1922, its governmental processes and political parties have changed entirely from what they were before, thus causing a massive shift of the public view of Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the early 20th century to present day. Now, it is readily apparent that even though they are incredibly different countries both are successful and in no worry of becoming a failed state. However, there are dissimilarities between the governing styles as well as the types of party platforms in each region that have aided their successes.
The recent decision of Great Britain to leave the European Union coincides with the recent election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States. Both events can be explained by using economic and cultural arguments. In order to fully understand these occurrences, one must understand the economic anxiety as well as the anti-globalisation sentiment that surrounded the Brexit movement. Trump’s candidacy involves some of the same aspects, yet Trump’s voter demographic, the white, working class, must also be studied. In the end, it can be determined that there is arguably more of a cultural reasoning to these incidences.
