Using the Internet: find two similarities and two differences between the government of Great Britain and the U.S.               Differences: The US has a federal and constitutional republic form of government while the  
                                        UK has a constitutional monarchy-parliament government. The US has 50
                                         states and one federal district as where the UK is a single state kingdom that has
                                        four coutries.
                       Similarites: We declared independence and we both are a democracy and have many same 
                                        histories.

Also find two current events relating to the British government and provide a paragraph of reflection.
      1.   British government is proposing the largest cuts to public spending since World War Two. They are 
            reducing benefits and eliminating 25 percent of public sector jobs in the next four years. They say it 
            will lead to a better future. They say that people are going to get angry want it to change.
     I know that it will be really hard for the people but in the long run, it will be good. They just have to adapt to the change. They are in debt like us, so they need to cut expenses.

     2.   New borrowing has been taken out by the Public Sector has increased to record levels.  It is
            increasing on spending on defence and health. Its ability is to reduce the country’s enormous budget
            deficit.
      This is a good thing that the money deficit is decreasing and more people are borrowing.
