Different Countries
Different Cultures
LONDON By Maria Jose Morataya
Work • It's pretty good now, because
the UK economy is in good
shape. People flock there
from everywhere. London is
one of the biggest capital
engines in the world.
Family • Typical British family headed by
2 parents has undergone
substantial changes during the
20th century.
You did not know that ...
By the year 2020, it is Estimated
That There will be more single
people than married people.
Spare time…. • The weekends are a time for
families in Britain.
• Saturdays are a busy time
for shops with many families going
shopping.
• Sundays used to be a very special
day of the week in Britain. It was
the one day of the week for
'worship and rest'. The shops were
closed and most people were at
home or at church.
Religious
• In the 2001 census the largest
religious groupings are Christian
(58.2%).
• And Jews are the most heavily
concentrated in London, with
56%
Politics • Great Britain is a parliamentary
democracy with a constitutional
Monarch as Head of State.
The principle behind British
democracy is that the people
elect Members of Parliament
(MPs) to the house of Commons in
London at a general election,
held no more than five years apart.
Solution to the problem • If Alan does not feel confortable, may get out his
daughter of the school, and explain to her
something different of the situation, she can
understand him.
• Maybe he just can talk with the teacher, or with
the family of the teacher, to the family be
contentious.
• Code of work in London says: Every teacher has
to do his job, contentious and with the totally
health possible.

POLITICS
*The People's Republic of China, along
with Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, is one of
the world's four remaining official socialist
states espousing communism.
*The Chinese government has been
variously described as communist and
socialist, but also as authoritarian, with
heavy restrictions remaining in many areas,
most notably on the Internet, the
press, freedom of assembly, reproductive
rights, and freedom of religion.
RELIGION Freedom of religion is guaranteed by China's
constitution, although religious organizations
which lack official approval can be subject
to state persecution.
A later survey, conducted in 2007, found that
there were 300 million religious believers in
China, constituting 23% of the population, as
distinct from the official figure of 100 million.
FAMILY • China has almost 20% of the world's total
population.
• As a measure to avoid over population,
late marriage and postponement of
childbearing means fewer but healthier
babies, something that is greatly
encouraged by the government. In 1979,
China became the first country to launch
the 'one child per couple' policy.
WORK • The work in china is really interesting, most of the Chinese people are always working, but the most hardest work in
China is the Industrial Activity, they hardly ever can rest, because their schedule it´s
so big.
• Their schedule start the Monday to Monday, their day start to 8 am and end
23:00 or 24:oo it depends of each company.
SPARE TIME • Many people do out to eat together.
• Also spending time as a family outside is
popular-whether at a park or near the
mall. Playing Majong as well as card
games is popular. Karaoke is also
popular for adults.
• Some child are busy doing activities like
attend some classes such as dancing
and art at weekends or in the holidays.
Solution to the problem • According to the Mental Law of the people´s Republic
China, the people with a mental disorders can’t teach to the students, because is obviously that they have
problems, and some students can be affected for the conditions that the person with problems present, and China have an special law that protect that, we can
find it in the article 16.
• “Article 16:All levels and types of schools shall implement mental hygiene knowledge education for students; hire or provide mental health teachers and
guidance staff, and may establish a mental health office to carry out mental health education for students.
Preschool organizations shall carry out mental health education appropriate for young children’s special
characteristics.
• If a natural disaster, unexpected injury, public security incident or other event that might
affect students’ mental health occurs, schools shall immediately organize professional staff to carry out psychological assistance for the
students.”
• And if the person that have this problems oppose to follow the rules, he can go to an
hospital to verify how is he, and when he receive his results he will go to The National People's Congress to present his results, and
they are going to determine if he can teach!

Work • The economy of Cuba is a largely centrally
planned economy dominated by state-run
enterprises overseen by the Cuban
government, though there remains significant
foreign investment and private enterprise in
Cuba.
• The Cuban government sets most prices and
rations goods to citizens. In 2009, Cuba
ranked 51st out of 182 with an IHDI of 0.863;
remarkably high considering its GDP
per capital only places it 95th.
Family Marriage
• Marriage rates in Cuba, traditionally, have been
significantly stagnant. In the "1980's and the early
1990's marriage rates were pretty high, 15.1 % and
17.1% marriages per every 1000 inhabitants
Divorces
• When the revolution of 1959 occurred, divorce rates
were starting to be observed for the first time.
Comparing this information throughout different
time periods in Cuban life, in "1960 it was 1 divorce
per 1000 people, 3 per 1000 people in the 1980's,
3.5 per 1000 people in 1990, 4.1 per 1000 people in
1991, 5.1 per 1000 people in 1992.“
Spare T ime • Sports
Fidel Castro's belief in socialism and the
benefits of sports (he loves and has
played baseball) has resulted in Cuba's
relative international success for a
population of 11 million in sporting
events such as the Olympic Games.
Main Religions • Christmas decorations on a religious
house in Santiago Cuba.
• Another large religion in Cuba is Santería. Is a blend of Catholicism and
traditional Yoruba religions. When African slaves first arrived in Cuba during the 16th century, they were
taught a few simple prayers and were baptised by the Spanish.
Politics • Is constitutionally defined as a "socialist state”
guided by the principles of José Martí, and the political ideas of marx, the father of
communist states, engels and lenin." The present constitution also ascribes the role of
the communist party of cuba to be the "leading force of society and of the state.
• Executive power is exercised by the Cuban Government, which is represented by the
Council of State and the Council of Ministers.
Solution to the problem… • He can not say anything about the problem that
the teacher of her daughter has because
professionals are also expected to uphold
professional ethics by not getting involved in any
type of conflict of interest.
• And if he thinks that his is danger to her daughter he
can change her to another school. But he can not
say anything about the condition of the teacher,
and the work in Cuba The economy of Cuba is a
largely centrally planned economy dominated by
state-run enterprises overseen by the Cuban
government.

Work • The conditions under which most
Guatemalans work are less than desirable and often in violation of
Guatemalan law. According to the nation's labor laws, the minimum daily
wage is US$3.00 for agricultural workers, US$3.30 for workers in commerce,
US$3.38 for construction workers, and US$6.00 for specialized labor.
• More than 80,000 Guatemalans, most of them young women, work at “maquilas.”
Family • Guatemalans say that parents are mirrors:
through them, you learn who you are and
what you can become. Children are able to
depend on their parents for advice and
guidance throughout their lives. Family
members tend to live near each other, and
Guatemalans rarely live or spend much time
alone.
• Most families consist of parents and their
unmarried children, though may include a
married son or daughter and their family.
Spare T ime • As most of latin american people like to spend time with the family. On top of that,
thanks to the nice weather and topography they get to do all sorts of outdoor activities such as go to the
southern coast for the beaches, the north because has mountains, and Petén has the maya biosphere reserve, kayaking,
walking, listen music, watch TV or movies, etc.
• Guatemala city is full of history and culture, including numerous art museums
and the “Catedral metropolitana.”
Main Religion • Many inhabitants combine
Catholic beliefs with traditional
Maya rites. Protestant churches
were estimated to have fewer
than 500,000 adherents in 1980,
but rapidly growing fundamentalist
groups increased the number of
Protestants to some 40% of the
population since 1998.
Politics • Takes place in a framework of a
presidential representative democratic
republic, whereby the president of
Guatemala is both head of state and
head of government, and of a multi-
party system. Executive power is
exercised by the government.
Legislative power is vested in both the government and the congress of the
republic.
Solution to the problem • In Guatemala, the Civil Code says: the
people with mental illness can be named as
“Interdicto”, because they can not base
and do actions for themselves. So Alan can
change the school for her daughter or
suggest to the director of the school
investigate the teacher, for better the health
of him and an important thing is assign a
tutor to him for care himself.

Work • There are approximately
154.4 million employed individuals
in the US. Government is the
largest employment sector with 22
million. Small businesses are the
largest employer in the country
representing 53% of US workers.
Family • Mother, father and children - continues to
prevail for the most part as a new century
unfolds. Yet, over the past several
decades, U.S. society has witnessed an
evolution in family structure and daily life
in many respects. Single parenthood,
adoptive households, step-parenting,
stay-at-home parents, grandparents
raising children are but a few of the
newer tiles in the mosaic.
Spare T ime • Americans have more leisure time
than 40 years ago.
• They got 45 minutes a day of extra
leisure. It is because they waste half of
all our leisure time watching television.
• The average American adults devotes
2.5 hours a day to this hobby.
Main Religion • USA is characterized by a diversity of
religious beliefs and practices.
• Various religious faiths have
flourished, as well as perished. The
majority of Americans (73-76%)
identify themselves as Christians and
about 15-20% have no religious
affiliation.
Politics • USA is a federal constitutional republic,
in which the President of the United States, Congress, and judiciary share
powers reserved to the national government, and the federal
government shares sovereignty with the state governments.
• Two political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
Solution to the problem…
• First of all, he doesn´t supposed to have any
idea about the illness of his daughter's teacher,
• But since her name is in a Hospital that means she is receiving treatment, so she may be won't
• Have again any mental swing. In the other
hand, if he wants to know that his daughter will
be safe.
• He might sign her in other school without saying
anything, in order not to harm the teacher.
