  1. China seems, politically, so completely different than the U.S., but that is just not true. They are quite similar in many aspects, such as having a president serving for a set amount of years, and can only be in elected for two consecutive terms. I never knew that, and it is kind of cool to learn that societies that seem so different are really quite the same.

  2. All governments list their rules and the way that they appear to be. But in reality all governments are crooked and messed up. They all try to give off the image that they are perfect and above the law. They attempt to show that they do everything right but they are always corrupt.
