I wasn't here today but here's my best try at this
In American culture we our more highly educated than you would be in Indian culture like the slums
American culture also has alot more wealth than Indian culture. The Indian culture has alot more population than we do. In the Indian culture they're goverment is also alot more strict and brutal, since they would torture their own citizens. American culture is also cleaner, like the water and more food.

Russia's national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOAtz8xWM0w

English translation:
Russia – our sacred homeland,

Russia – our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory –
These are your heritage for all time!

Chorus:

Be glorious, our free Fatherland,

Age-old union of fraternal peoples,

Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!

Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!

From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
This native land protected by God!

Chorus

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
Thus it was, thus it is and thus it always will be!

Chorus

Today in class we took our test, i honestly thought it was easy. I studied for about a half hour last night on the countries and there leaders. The only thing i believe i needed work on was my essay.

11/12

Today in class we went over what would be on our test. We went over what countries we needed to study and we also got to ask questions about the test.

I was not in today

Today in class we went over our countries and went over what will  be on our test. Also we discussed if Obama should be in office or not. I honestly think he should not, he's already had two impeachable offenses and makes some poor choices for  the nation.

Brazil-
Federal Republic since 1988
The president is Dilma Rousseff and she is the 36th president
Term is 4 years
She was the chief of state
Electing someone new
Impeach
Assassinate

Canada-
a parlimentary democracy
the monarch is head of state but they have a constitution giving them the right to elect their government
 In 1931 it became a common wealth country
There was a period of time where it was under British rule
The prime minister is Stephen Harper and has been since January 23, 2006
He can be impeached

Today in class we shared our power point on Russia.

Syria is a "Republic" run by Bashar al-Assasd
has been in power since June 20,2000
No other way to get rid of him other than assassination

Japan has been around since 660 B.C.
Japan is a constitutional monarchy run by Emperor Akihito and Prime minister Shinzo Abe
Emperor came in 1989
He is the worlds only Emperor
Prime  minister is elected
all men and women over 20 can vote
if the public doesnt like them, they can be thrown out

Today in class we listened to the presentations of the US and France. Both are a republic, and can only be impeached, assassinated, and start a 3rd party to overthrow their leader.

Today in class we finished up our projects on how to overthrow a leader, Jack and I did russia and i found out that russias goverment is very strict and once contained over 50 countries!
