Workplace Expectations and Schedules: Working hours tend to differ between countries as well; while most workplaces in both countries operate from 9am-5pm during weekdays, many businesses in the US have adopted flexible working hours which allow employees to start earlier or later depending on their needs. This type of schedule isn’t quite as common in the UK yet but could become more popular over time as attitudes towards work-life balance continue to shift, as well as increased remote working.

Attitudes towards time management can vary greatly between the UK and USA, from punctuality to workplace expectations.

Key Takeaway: The UK and US have similar expectations when it comes to punctuality, deadlines, workplace schedules and work-life balance. The US has also adopted flexible working hours which allow employees to start earlier or later depending on their needs.
Comparing the Political Systems and Governmental Strucutres of the UK and USA
The political systems of the UK and USA are vastly different, with each country having its own unique leadership styles, policies, voting rights, laws and regulations.


Differences in Leadership Styles and Policies
In the UK, a constitutional monarchy is in place where the reigning monarch is the Head of State but has limited powers. The Prime Minister leads the government while Parliament makes laws that apply to all citizens. In contrast, the US has a federal system of government with an elected President as Head of State who holds executive power over both state and federal governments. Congress is responsible for making laws which are then enforced by state governments.

Voting Rights, Laws, Regulations & Freedoms of Speech / Press / Religion etc…

In both countries there are universal voting rights granted to citizens aged 18 or older; however, in some states within America there can be restrictions on certain groups such as felons or those without permanent residency status. Both countries have freedom of speech enshrined in their constitutions but other freedoms vary between them, and due to the process involved UK law can be changed much more easily than US law. Similarly, assembly and petitioning rights differ between Britain’s Human Rights Act 1998 (which includes peaceful protest) compared to America’s Bill of Rights (which includes public assemblies).

Although the political systems and government structures of the UK and USA have some similarities, there are also many significant differences in leadership styles, policies, voting rights and freedoms.

In contrast, US schools focus more on developing academic skills with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Students may also be able to choose from elective courses that vary depending on their state or district.
