Ashley—Somalia
Tiffany—Germany
Justine—Saudi Arabia
Similarities
-We didn't have any problems talking to our interviewees.-The person we interviewed learned a little bit about our culture.
-Each turned out more of a conversation than a formal interview.
-The schooling systems are similar among the countries: children go to kindergarten at young ages followed by an intermediate school, and then a high school.
Differences
-In Germany the major religion is Christianity, and the other countries are Islam. This may be because western countries are predominantly Christian.
-In Somalia education is not a high priority unlike in Germany and Saudi Arabia
-Germany and Saudi Arabia have many fast food restaurants, but countries like Somalia mainly cook their meals.
-Germany's infrastructure is very developed resulting in networks of highway systems, the Autobahn, railway and metro systems. Many people travel by bus, train or metro systems.
-In Saudi Arabia they mostly travel by car. There is also one train that goes throughout the country.
-In Somalia they rely mostly on walking, camel, and buses for transportation.
