Differences Between the Czech Republic and the US

Let me start off by saying that finding the differences between two countries that are nowhere near each other seems like the easiest assignment on Earth. Although it did take a little bit more than luck to get my ideas out, I managed to come up with a few key differences between the Czech Republic and the United States.

One of the main differences I'm sure we can all see today is that the Czech Republic has not had quite as much political turmoil as the United States in the past few years. We have had a main place of business (the World Trade Centers) go down by terrorist attack, we have gone on a full-fledged attack of other countries, and right now, we happen to be in the middle of an enormous war. Another key issue in this political turmoil is the never-ending hate for our 'commander-in-chief'. Although I know not the exact role of government in the Czech Republic, I can only hope that they respect their leader more than ours is respected at the current moment.

Although there is more political mayhem in our country in the past few years, there has been way more national chaos in the Czech Republic in the last few centuries. Even as the author to Prague: A Literary Traveler's Companion wrote, people who have never moved from the Czech Republic have lived in 6 or 7 different countries their whole lives. There have been so many changes in power and shifts in what to even call the country, that it really is chaotic.
