     Moving to a new country also means being exposed to different holidays and traditions. Simultaneously you might leave some behind that you will really, really miss.

  • The Criminal Justice System in Sweden and USA
    Feb 13 2023

    Today, we will explore the criminal justice systems in Sweden and the United States. The criminal justice system is a complex network of institutions, laws, and practices that the government uses to keep people safe from crime and to ensure that those who break the law are punished fairly. In Sweden and the United States, the criminal justice system is a little different, and we're going to compare and contrast their approaches to crime and punishment. We'll examine their criminal justice system, crime rates, police, court, correctional, and alternative forms of punishment. Understanding these differences is interesting because it gives us a better idea of how each country thinks about crime and how they believe it should be dealt with. By learning about these systems, we can gain a deeper understanding of how they work and what makes them effective.

  • Higher Education
    Feb 6 2023

     Sweden is known for its strong higher education system and is rated as one of the countries with the highest student satisfaction globally. The country's educational philosophy strongly emphasizes egalitarian sustainability and critical thinking. This is reflected in the structure of higher education systems and the opportunities available to students. 

     A middle-class American education is a unique experience that provides students many opportunities for personal and academic growth. Students in middle-class America have access to institutions ranging from community colleges to large educational and research universities. 

    In today's show, I will compare the two.
