the different between west and east education

as a oversea student I want to say something about the different between West and East education.I am a student from China and now I am study in UK.So I will compare the two coutries.
First. Sense of equality and hierarchy. Westerners, a strong sense of equality, whether rich or poor, everyone will respect themselves and not allow others to infringe upon their rights. At the same time, everyone can fully respect others. In the United States, few people in their own pride in a prominent family background, but also very few people came with their own poor ashamed of, because they know that, as long as our own efforts, there will certainly be able to achieve success. As the United States a popular proverb says: "if they work hard, denim can be president." (If working hard, even a cowboy can be president.) Although the establishment of New China for nearly six decades, but the traditional ruler and subject, father and son the sense of hierarchy in China, is still deeply rooted in people's minds. Father in his son's eyes, the eyes of teachers, students have the absolute authority of the family background in human development still plays a very important role.
Then nuclear family with four generations living under one roof. American family structure is relatively simple: parents and minor children, called nuclear families. Once the children get married, you have to move away from the economy also must be independent. Parents are no longer obliged to support their children. This approach to young people to provide maximum freedom and develop their ability to live independently, but also alienated the family relationship. Chinese-style family structure more complex, the traditional family is four generations living under one roof well-being. In such families, the elderly to help look after children, children and grandchildren grow up to help maintain the elderly, family members rely on each other and help each other, closer kinship ties. However, this lifestyle is not conducive to nurturing young people's independence.

the parliment

              Composition of the modern British Parliament by the King, the Senate and the House composition. Members of non-elected upper house, is a religious aristocracy (archbishops, bishops), hereditary aristocracy, life peers, royal families and nobles Appellate (senior judges, the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, etc.), with about 1,000 current members. MP by the voters by small majority representation constituencies through direct elections, the existing 650 members. Members of each House of the longest term of 5 years the minimum age limit for members of both Houses are 21 years of age. Concurrently by a judge on the House Speaker, the House Speaker from the majority party members as usual. Upper and lower houses are equipped with a full-house committee, the Standing Committee, the Special Committee, the Joint Commission and other agencies to assist the House to review the motion.
            Frankly admitted that the British Parliament took the lead within the existing political parties in Parliament, and by each party to hold the number of seats assigned its constitutional functions. Access to civilians, the majority of seats in homes that come forward to form a government of political parties, the exercise of executive power, but also access to the civilian hospital organizations, the legislative work and other work privileges. Court times obtain the majority of seats in the civilian political parties that led the opposition to be a grand, get organized in consultation with the majority party agenda for the privilege of civilian homes, and the right to represent the opposition parties should debate the Government's motion, declarations, etc., are also entitled to a separate part of the arrangements civilian hospital time, motion, and the civilian leadership of the Ad Hoc Committee on a number of key hospital. Seats than the opposition parties led by the opposition parties also enjoy a number of other rights. Overall, the majority of the executive and legislative leadership of the party, the opposition is responsible for monitoring the government. By the majority party - the opposition between models, the British Parliament by Members of the pursuit of fame, so that they bear the corresponding relationship between their political parties, constitutional duty, to break the period of the previous party system of government - parliament against the relationship, and instead form a majority party, the government - the opposition against the relationship, the political situation and the constitutional role of cross-up. Reference to the British system of melting right parliamentary majority also cited the country's first majority party in the UK - the opposition system.
