2. Throughout the world, cultures change depending on the place where we met,
customs, traditions and ways of thinking, are the main features that distinguishes
one country from another.
Surely we live in a country where the highlight is the culture, but in recent years it
has lost the affection he always had to traditions.
Through this document, I will mention the cultural differences that have different
countries in the world, to make comparison.
These countries will be only the United States, Australia and Uk.
I will start with basics, then make comparisons on more complex issues.
Gastronomy is a critical point in every culture, recipes passed down from
generation to generation, make each of the countries stands out for its gastronomy.
United States is "concerned" in this regard because much of its population are
immigrants, therefore adopts different cultures within itself, but the US within food,
is associated much hamburgers, chips, cake apple. The United States has much of
its traditional food as "fast food".
Meanwhile in Australia the food is influenced by the combination of the Irish and
British cuisine, and the most common dishes are potatoes, beans, beans, and
carrots
Australia The typical dish par excellence is the meatloaf.
However, the food in Uk is influenced by the cuisine of China and India and other
dishes with similarities between these countries.
In the most typical foods in Uk are fish, different cheeses (Bonchester cheese,
Buxton Blue, Dorset Blue cheese, Dovedale cheese, Cheddar cheese, Stilton)
The customs are a fundamental part of a culture, are what distinguish one from
another, holidays in every culture are of great importance to it, since they have
held ideals and venerate their beliefs.
In United States the most important customs are:
-Fiesta In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. The third Monday in February -Day of
presidents,
-Day Of Independence, July 4
-day Work, the first Monday in November
-Halloween, October 31
-Action- Thanksgiving, the last Thursday of November.

only the name of some, but obviously taking certain dates as unique national day.

4. Music is an important part of culture, the culture reflects us with sounds. The
folklore of each country is different, since they are well rooted.
United States has a very strong folk music, these following genera are the most
prominent in American culture.
-Country

Blues
UK also has his music of excellent quality, although it was influenced by American
music.
Sacred music, Western culture from ancient and traditional folk music are the
highlights in this culture genres.

including rock and roll, country, hip hop, and reggae.
The architecture is a pillar in culture is concerned, as the architects who designed
the buildings of those countries, which usually was of the same type, reflecting
their ideas and the way in which the country was at that time.
American architecture is marked by modernity.
The architecture of the United States is heavily influenced by the British who were
their conquerors, whereas that its architecture is a mixture of two types of
ideologies, of natives in North America, along with the English who arrived with
new ideas and put into action together with the natives.
You can not talk about architecture without missing a Statue of Liberty.

5. Architecture in Uk is full of castles, these errands done by William I, in those
countries and in those days, castles were very common, since there are people of
royalty, castles became a fundamental part of their buildings.
Like castles, churches adopt the same type of architecture, giving a gothic touch to
all these constructions.
Australia has been distinguished by its beautiful architecture, one can not speak of
the architecture of Australia without mentioning Sydney Opera where construction
generates an audible throughout the hotel so it is not necessary to use a single
microphone and throughout the Instead heard in the same way.
Sport is also an important aspect in many cultures, being one that drives people to
physical activity, and is also the one who takes care of many of its inhabitants
when local or international tournaments.

6. Education is most important that countries take into account the academic level of
each country is different, but these three countries have their front very high in
academics.
The US education system is predominantly public, with control and funding of the
three levels of government: federal, state and local. Early childhood education is
compulsory.
These are the ages when students are in different schools
Preschool 3-5 years

primary and secondary schools, language schools, technical institutes and
universities.

research opportunities in all areas of knowledge, backed by highly qualified
teachers and advisers programs.

Finally the policy in each country and culture is very different, because today there
are still countries where there Reales families where there is a Queen and a King.
And a lot of that was stopped practicing for years in many other countries.
America is a constitutional federal republic president. His government has limited
powers enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. Its form of government
is known as a presidential democracy because a president. The presidential
election is indirect through delegates or electors.
The president's powers reach not only the head of state, but also the executive and
the ability to veto certain decisions of the legislature. There are three levels of
government: the federal level, the state level and the local or municipal level. The
leaders of these local authorities are elected by voters vote or appointed by other
elected officials.
The UK is a constitutional monarchy, unlike other schemes no written constitution,
ie a single political code and require special design and reform process to
determine the basic institutions of the state, territorial regime and rights and public
freedoms. The monarch is the head of state, Queen Elizabeth II today. Its functions
are representative, although different rules granted nominal powers such as
declaring war and making peace, international politics and be guardian of
constitutional norms and unity of the Kingdom. But the practice has become
necessary endorsement of the Government to adopt all decisions. The monarch is
