❗HOT TOPIC❗ In regards to the school comment, we have YOUNG children (as stated in the video). We'd never feel comfortable with ANYONE being allowed on their school campus without having to *at least* identify themselves and/or sign in. It has nothing to do with the school having to be on lockdown or having military in place. Let's agree to disagree on this one.🤗
You don't agree based on your experience here. And for a school in the US, that is an accurate assessment. But, it would be inaccurate to say you would "never" feel comfortable. You don't know how you would feel in another completely different situation, so saying an absolute (such as, "I will never") is really just you choosing to closing your mind to the possibility of you feeling different. Let me give you another simple example: A parents might say, "I never want my child to be near polio. It's bad and terrible for my child" (The "never" is still an absolute). Now, years later there is a vaccine for polio. That vaccine give a tiny tiny amount of polio to build immunization. Well, suddenly the parent who was saying "never" looks foolish because the vaccine will help prevent full blown polio. Many will say, "but when the parent first made the statement the vaccine wasn't around." Yes, that is the point. You can't know what you don't know. So leaving the option open for your mind to be changed is the smartest step. The more logical variant would be, "based on what I know right now, I would not want my child near polio". This statement is making a decision based on current information, but NOT closing the door on the possibility of future change, information, and innovation.
So, I think a better stance may be, "based on my life experience, how I grew up, the information I have access to, and what I have seen, I don't think I would ever feel comfortable without the school having gates and a sign in system." See, this leaves the possibility open for change. Because the truth is, you don't know how you will feel after living abroad for a while. Maybe you will feel comfortable, maybe you won't. But closing the door on the possibility of you mind being changed is unnecessarily presumptuous.
I really hope you tried to read and see my above example. The point is, closing off your mind to different possibilities limits you greatly. As parents you make the best decisions you can (using the information you have).
A very similar situation happens often in other area. That is why studying Bayes' Theorem is so important.
You need to understand, children in uk schools are safe !!! no really it`s safe . But i do feel sorry for you for having them thoughts . Please travel around the world and see for yourselves. (Or don`t travel) An American said ,It`s better to stay at home and be happy not knowing the truth ,Than to find out the truth and worry about it !
@@jblev736 No, living abroad wouldn't change my views on this. This has nothing to do with "my conditions" as an American. I am an extremely open minded person, but having random people who has no business being at the school doesn't make sense to me. I don't send my children to school to be amongst random people. I trust the people who are supposed to be there: educators, administrators, and students. So again, we can agree to disagree.
@@owendavis690 No need to feel sorry for us. We don't need pity. Our views are our views, regardless of our nationality. If we lived in the U.K.,we would still want a sign in sheet in place.
Honestly, I totally understand! I wouldn't want strangers around my kids, having people scan an ID or sign in at a desk that has a camera filming everyone that shows up at the desk seems totally reasonable to want to me. While I don't think there's a high risk, realistically there's not zero risk. Kidnappers would generally try ANYWHERE else before a school because there's so many potential witnesses, there's cameras and cops respond very quick to an emergency call from a school so the odds are tiny. However, that would leave the most dangerous person that cares the least about the consequences willing to kidnap from a school. I've always felt super safe but I'd rather see precautions rather than retroactive moves. If you can bring a 0,1% chance of your kid being kidnapped from school down to a 0,01% with a simple procedure for visitors, it seems like a no-brainer honestly. I've walked into many schools visiting friends or just checking them out because I was considering going there, and it always felt safe. Then again, I've also always felt the same way about our trains and there's been like 4 times in the last 10 years where that really wasn't the case. Precautions are not a bad thing, within reason. Hell, our employees at city hall are behind bulletproof glass, just a precaution. I don't think it's messed up to keep track of who walks into a school, hell, there's enough chimos out there and schools are basically children warehouses..
Your comments about the open access to school demonstrates how much you have become conditioned to behaviours in America and security conscientiousness, given that America is the land of the free you need to consider how free it is if you need this much security at a school when Europeans don't need security. The clue is the Second Amendment. European Countries don't need the Right to bear Arms, that is what the Police Force and Armed Forces are for. Just let that sink in.
This comment is exactly what I had to say .. I'm studying in Europe n you wouldn't think that way
Exactly. I think America has a culture of fear. It's seeped into every aspect of life. Just watch the news in the states. It's all fear mongering and looking who to blame.
In the US, most kids aren't allowed to play outside unsupervised, or walk to school, etc. There are metal detectors and police officers in school. Because parents fear for their safety. In Europe, that's a completely alien mindset.
When I went to high school (class of 88) we had gun racks in the back windows of our trucks and there would be dozens of trucks with guns in the rack parked in student parking. We aren’t a small hillbilly town either. It was a school of almost 4,000 students. Not once was anything ever said. But I had to open the truck one day because a carton of cigarettes was visible and I was only like 16-17. The rifle wasn’t questioned.
@@mykeva1 WTF! Please don't tell me you think that is a good thing!?
You have to understand that, as a non-american, that sounds absolutely insane to me!
I agree! I actually withdrew my son from public school and he’s at home. I miss the school system back home because the quality of education is higher and you don’t have to worry about your child being killed.
"they're kidnapers everywhere", it is very sad to hear this. My son's school in Denmark doesn't even have fences. Their playground is constantly accessible to everyone, and at eight years old he and his friends play freely outside with little to no supervision. I am not aware of any problem ever having occurred. It is just that safe.
And I had to adapt to it myself since I am French and France isn't safe to that level, but even then we had fences and adults always keeping an eye out, but nothing more than that.
Americans never seem to realize, until they happen to live abroad, how sorry the rest of the world is for you guys, that you constantly have to be on high alert for things that are simply not a factor in our lives
Edit about the "free" aspect of many things. Health care, education, etc. are naturally not free in the absolute (nothing is) but it is a public service paid via taxes. Everyone puts money in the pot, so you don't have to worry about it when you need to use the service
You said this so respectfully, thank you. Some places are safer than others. I failed to emphasize our children's age in my comment, so it was greatly taken out of context. We 100% agree with the Healthcare/ public service debate.
I know where that fear is comin from but let just say we have 99 Problems but a Kidnapper on Schoolground aint one^^
Think about it , how natural it is for us Europeans to have open Schoolgrounds (Public Buildings). Myself visited more then once my Friends on another High-School , were I could even take part on the lesson (depends on Teacher/School of course). If you want something to be aware about then you can easily have access to alcohol/liquor even under the age of 16.
I agree with you! We don't worry in the same way as Americans seem to! But kidnappings do accure here too! They are just really rare! I am sometimes scared for my girls, when they go places, by them selves. But I know that's just my own anxiety, not really a "healthy" kind of anxiety, as I do think it kind of is in the US.
So I agree that the kidnapping idea/anxiety, also CAN be a "state of mind", in a way. And here it's SOOOO seldom, that it's kind of unhealthy to worry about! If you know what I mean 😊 Because it's not a statistical reality, in a sense.
Also we still have a very high "solved" rate in police cases.. again not all.. of course. But most cases ARE solved. Also people are willing to help police, and police have a different approach to people. We have smaller communities, also. We might not all know each other.. But "strange people" catch the eyes easier.
So I think there are lots of reasons why we, over all, feel more secure in Denmark (and the Nordic countries ❤️🇦🇽🇧🇻🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇴🇬🇱🇸🇪🇮🇸❤️).
On the "smaller communities" topic (more for the Americans, then the comments author 😊): I think it's kind of funny that the whole island of "Sjælland" that has got three regions, 17 "counties" (I counted 23 cities in one region), and the island where our capital is placed.. Is around the same size as New York city! 😆😂 That might show you our towns are way smaller then the big American cities! 😆
Oh btw: I didn't mean that kidnapping is a state of mind, as in its just the parrents being afraid, without a reason! I think I worded it strange. I ment that it's so worked into your consciousness, that it seems universal to you. But it's not nesscessarily true for everyone around the world.
I am very aware of not putting the fear of strangers into my kids, because I know it.. for me.. is an irrational fear! (Not that you should be uncritical of strangers, of course!). But to me it seems it's NOT an irrational fear at least some places in the US!
The point just being that it's isn't really a universal fear.. Hope this made sense!
I am not trying to affend anyone! Just trying to explain what I see and experience 😊❤️😘😘
@@kingsnip3z394 99 Problems but a Gun aint one 😁 sounds like US Anthem🤣
In Sweden, you can walk into any school and meet up with someone. You don’t have to announce your visit or purpose or show your ID (if you look a little lost some staff member might ask if you need help though). No security guards. No locked doors. No school kidnappings. No school shootings.
In Australia it’s perfectly safe too however our schools require visitors to sign in and get a visitor badge before being allowed in. It’s simply good practice not to allow any individual to walk into a school. It’s not just about shooting, there are mentally unwell people, homeless, pedophiles.. Also the school doesn’t want some parent just walking in and knocking on the classroom door in the middle of an exam because little Johnny forgot his lunch 😂
You might at least have to talk to the reception desk and get a visitor badge or at least I had to when i visited a friend who changed education directions and had to study for 1 year more than me.
@@Dr_KAP it's still pretty uncommon in Sweden that people who aren't supposed to be there walk in to the school, if someone does they usually look so out of place that a teacher will walk up to them and ask them what they're looking for.
Also children get their lunches at school here so parents don't just causally come by for any reason 🤷🏽♀️
@@Templarofsteel88 Here in Germany you also could just walk into a school and no one would question anything unless you look lost or suspicious. Like, if you are a 50 year old guy no one has ever seen there that walks into a school full of 14 to 19 year olds, people will ask you what you are there for.
No shootings, kidnappings etc. here in the UK, but visitors still have to sign in - it's mainly health & safety in case of fire, they know how many & who is in the building if a fire starts. Many other venues will have visitors sign in for the same reason.
Here's something else that will blow your mind. In the UK, if you are involved in an accident in a remote area or perhaps a serious accident anywhere, they will probably send for an air ambulance (a helicopter) with an in-flight doctor to get you to the ER in minutes. It will cost you nothing at all. Most major trauma hospitals with ER's have heli-pads.
Denmark here... 👋😊
I have to say my heart sank when I heard you talking about schools. The fact is that we would never even think like that. That uneasiness of "what if", "just in case" and "you never know" simply doesn't exist here when it comes to schools. In fact we tend to think just the opposite way: Why would anyone go to a school and harm kids?! Also, working with children in Denmark requires a "children's certificate" issued by the police stating that you don't have a history with any kind of child abuse/endangerment.
True, we just had a tragic shooting in a mall in Copenhagen with three fatalities but that was the third "mass shooting" ( " " because in the US the definition is four or more) *in 28 years!*
Excactly! Yes ofc. it can happen. But 3 in 28 years? That is why it makes such a huge impact every time. I'm from Norway, and we all fell to the floor in the ones we had. And all the best to you Danes now in this trying time, Imajin. We cry with you.
Americans also question why anyone would go into schools to harm kids. Just because it happens doesn't mean we are okay with this. WE ARE NOT OKAY WITH THIS! No sane person is.
@@thanossnap4170 yeah, it took me a solid three to four hours to realize Utöya actually was happening..
And if there will be more shootings I think these mostly sick people are inspired by news from America.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT
I would never imply that you're ok with it though. You seem like sincerely good people and it's truly heartbreaking whenever it involves children. 😟
The main problem with the US is greed. The second is lack of empathy. I had been stationed in Germany for 3 years. Wish I would have extended. The things you grow up with in the US, you don't notice the bad things until you come back from abroad.
The US was founded on greed, slavery and genocide. Nothing has changed. Some people are just seeing behind the indoctrination.
2 an Aussie where Mateship & lending a hand 2 a stranger is ingrained into our culture the lack of empathy most Americans seem 2 have towards others both astounds & saddens me. There r so many examples from universal healthcare 2 basic politeness (4 want of a better word) like how people handled covid. OK, fine if u think it's a hoax or ur immune system can fight it but what about those whose bodies can't. Is it really that hard 2 wear a mask & give some distance 2 help protect ur community, family & loved ones?
EDIT,SORRY 4 MY RANT & I KNOW ITS NOT JUST AMERICANS ACTING THIS WAY BUT I DIDNT/DONT SEE THE SAME RESISTANCE WHERE I LIVE
If you live to work USA is ok but if you work to live Europe excels in most areas imo
@@meanlean3095 I've gotta say New Zealand & Australia r both right up there too. Same benefits & work life balance but better weather & more laid back. I've got the Great Barrier Reef on my doorstep & world heritage listed rainforest just up the road. Y would ya wanna live anywhere else? 😊
@@meanlean3095 usa not so good
I’m from the U.K., watching this I am so grateful for all the freedom and rights we have (holidays, sickness time etc) this should be watched by so many folks in the U.K., maybe they would appreciate what we have 🤷♀️
Nice one Chuck.
When that guy said "a cop started coming over" you both looked uncertain and slightly scared...that should not be a normal reaction to hearing that. If you're stuck in the uk and a copper comes over, you smile cos you know he's going to help and colour doesn't change that here.
😔
@mcchickenz yup
Same here in germany. Most cops ("Bullen" over here) are just nice people, as long as you don´t stress them...They´re here to help, not to punish.
On the other hand, on big demonstrations like G7, G20 or May 1st, if things get out of hand, they unleash the beasts and can beat up people pretty bad. But still only in self defence.
Here in Australia sex trafficking hasn't really been a thing since we legalised prostitution. It's legalised in a way that ensures sex workers are protected and risks are mitigated. You can't get hookers to your hotel or pick up a girl on the street - we have brothels with security guards who throw out violent customers and prevent aggressive drunks getting in.
In germany its almost the same except that we still have the „street hookers“ working for their Pimps who is usually a member of the ruling local Eastern European Mafia Clan (both of them usually coming from lower income European countries like Russia, Romania Bulgaria and Czechia)
and then we have the „Professional Prostitutes“ who are usually being self-employed (which is from the German government announced as a real job and therefore must be registered at the local town hall as a official (legal) “Sex worker“ and self employee therefore she has to pay taxes like every other profession but therefore is also entitled to the German social security benefits (which means her income will be added on top of the regular pension every german is entitled to by passing the age of 65 and also to the German financial support system getting payed by the state if she get ill and being unable to work).
Prostitutes usually have a official workplace where they meet Customers like private apartments and studios or they just renting monthly a room in such establishments called „Brothels“
This is a law we can appreciate! A real problem solved on both ends.
In saying this I live in Sydney and yes all but the main entrance is locked off in both Primary and High school where my kids go, even before covid mostly to stop the schools being used for shortcuts, damage to the schools and yes even as a parent you are supposed to check in at the office first. I say supposed to but after a few years most don't as staff know them anyway.
@mcchickenz "Coincidence"
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Here in Sweden, being a prostitute is LEGAL but hiring one is ILLEGAL. This is to make sure that prostitutes aren’t afraid to get healthcare or police help when they need to but still trying to decrease the profession as a whole.
Germany, police: to become even the lowest level cop you have to go through 2.5 to 3 years of specialised vocational training or university, depending on your choice. Vocational training limits your future ranks somewhat unless you qualify for the higher ranks later in life.
But before you even get accepted into this training you have to pass a full evaluation test that takes between 2-4 days, depending on your desired future rank and continued training. You also have to pass several physical and mental examinations of fitness, mental stability, etc you have to live in fully settled economic circumstances and you must have a clean rep sheet.
Once you have been accepted and passed those three years of 'basic' training and the final rigorous exams which focusses on a lot of different topics but includes such things as investigative measures, studies of laws, yes, some shooting and close combat training, but mostly de-escalation methods, etc, THEN you can apply for an actual job. If you want to advance into higher officer ranks you have to pass a FURTHER university education of another two years, resulting in a Master's title. For a total of five years of university study.
Gun usage by cops is frowned upon in Germany, and is considered the ultimate last choice in solving a situation that involves the literal life-and-death choice of either the cop or another threatened person. It is called "der finale Rettungsschuss" / "the final saving shot" which is a targeted shot to kill, instead of to wound, or even warning shots into the air. Cops rarely, if ever draw their guns simply to intimidate or even threaten someone.
The total number of shots by cops in the course of their activities involving potential criminals numbers in the 300-400 bullets per year for ALL of Germany. In 2014 only FIVE such shots were used throughout Germany resulting in fatalities, a total of 37 were fired AT criminals, and only 15 of those injured the criminals, not killed them, in such a way that they could be apprehended.
The only exception to this is when cops are called to accidents with wild animals such as deer or boar where it is obvious that the animal won't survive. Those bullets fired to end the suffering of an injured animal unlikely to survive numbers around 3000-4000 a year, again, all of Germany.
Every such shot results in a massive investigation into the cop using such a shot, with every bullet traced and accounted for. If ANY cause for belief of excessive violence can be found, that cop is probably in deep shit, and may loose his job.
Just to give you a little perspective of how serious the education is for cops here, and how rigourous the requirements are.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
It has to be said that police only kill wild animals that wouldn´t survive, if no hunter is available. If there´s a hunter available for the region, they take care of this stuff. At least that´s what I know.
@@meisen1988 Yeah, they have to coordinate with forest services / rangers (Förster).
Danke, das ist so interessant!!! :)
Best example for the following investigation is the incident that happened some weeks ago, with that young man who got shot and killed by a cop, when he charged towards him with a knife. The investigation will take on some time and will be VERY accurate. If there´s even the smallest sign of the cop power trippin and killing that kid just because he could, he´d be charged with murder. Not to forget the public reaction, either in reality or on social media. And the social media sh*tstorm is REALLY heavy...
In Spain, legally, vacations are 30 days per year worked, and as the blond boy says, if a labor inspector sees that a company has not given a worker vacations, he fines that company.
Yep, same thing in France, you HAVE TO take 2 weeks between may and october... You can't take less holidays than that per year !
"they're kidnappers everywhere" It breaks my heart, that Americans think that way. Because for the rest of the world, this just doesn't apply. .... No, kidnappers, rapists or sex traffickers are not everywhere out there, trying to get you. At least try to imagine a world without these threats..... And still statistics show, fewer than 350 people under the age of 21 have been abducted by strangers in the United States per year between 2010-2017.
im assuming those statistics are for abductions by strangers, because the real numbers are far larger. almost all human trafficking victims are trafficked by family, family friends, or close acquaintances, and the trafficking industry here is huge (source: i was in a HT recovery program at my homeless shelter). it is a business and it is run like one. also important to note is the widespread corruption of the police and government here. truthful reports of child/young adult trafficking victims are hard to come by when they are being bought or trafficked by the same people who are supposed to save them, you know? terrible but true.
Is that really true? I know that kids are generally more in danger from people they know & trust than from strangers, but stranger danger is still a thing. I'm wondering if that statistic is based only on cases where they were able to determine who committed the abduction. There was a serial killer in my town/city, first the city - near where my parents grew up, then the town just outside the city in a house about a mile from mine -- and he specifically targeted teenage boys from a neighborhood that was working class at the time so the police assumed they were all runaways. It went on for years and years. He even recruited some paid accomplices who eventually put an end to it by killing him and then reporting it to the police, who initially thought they were lying because it wasn't at all on their radar.
@@tinabean713 In Germany children go to school on their own pretty much since the beginning. They are save because they move in groups and adults have the habit to watch out for children they see on the street, plus, they are taught to not go with any strangers. Is it still possible that someone snatches a child away? Yeah, I guess so, but the likelihood is so low, it doesn't really justify to imprison your child. The earlier it learns to protect itself, the better.
@@tinabean713 sure, it happens. Just a few months ago, some sociopath has kidnapped a young boy from his grandmother's doorstep in the Netherlands, he was found dead a few days later. But the thing is, abductions are rare, and abductions by strangers are a small minority even to those.
It's like people who are afraid of flying after a plane crashed, while it's psychologically understandable, you run much more risk of dying during your ride to the airport than in a plane, driving to your destination is more dangerous than flying there, but people who are afraid of flying might drive in stead.
It's good to try and prevent those rare occasions, but fear is not a good advisor to decide on the appropriate actions to take.
I do not know where you live but for example german sex traffickers tried to prey on ukrainian women to lure them under the false informations into a brothels. Second, 9 of 10 women under 30 admitted that they have experienced some kind of sexual crime (harrasment, rape attempt, rape etc) so please do not assume
I've lived overseas (Germany) for 21 years and have NO plans to live in the USA again, the standard of living here compared to the States is like living in a villa and the USA is like living in a tent made out of a beach towel.
Come and live in Europe! You'll be amazed to discover what true freedom is!
Im Indian, As a kid watching television, I always wanted to go to America"The greatest country in the world". But now Im 30, and youtube has showed me how the non-celebrities are living to realize that, im safer and happier in my 3rd world country.. no school shootings, no street killings, i can peacefully leave my kids with any of my neighbours. Dude, USA may be the richest country, but im livin life... Everything is so much calmer and easier than the US
I live in rural S. Wales UK and a friend of mine rents his field out for camping holidays, opposite the field is a school and next to his field another Farmer runs a Clay Pigeon shooting club where they meet once a week.
My friend told me that the police were called to his field one day cos the shoot was on, the school was open and an American couple camping in his field thought they were all going to get murdered!
They only stayed one day. This was 2 years ago and we still talk about it as the highlight to his small camping business.
The people who attend the shoot park in the school car park cos of lack of space in the field and just get their shotguns out of their boots (trunks) take their time chatting with the others and saunter across the school yard with their guns to the field and no one gives them a second look.
The school thing really made me sad to hear that . To me school , health care , feeling safe , job holidays , not worried about police , enjoying friendship of people just enjoying life is the normal thing . I have always appreciated the life i have been use to in the Land Down Under and we also appreciate our American mates as well so don't forget that .
I'm French, and ever since I can remember I've always wanted to go live in the US.
In 2008 I stayed in Florida for 3 weeks, which gave me a much better understanding of what american life is really like.
My desire to go live in the US kinda disapeared from that moment on...
I mean the US is great in many ways, none of which improove the population's quality of life though. (except if you're rich maybe...)
Now I'm 100% conscious that quality of like (happiness, safety, health...) is WAY higher in Europe and some other parts of the world than it is in the US !
If you're not rich (not even necesarely poor either) your experience in the US might actually be worse than living in most third world countries !
And yeah, as a European I cannot recommend enough that you travel abroad and see it for yourself... but be aware, you probably won't want to go back to America ! xD
In Spain most schools are just open, all the time, sometimes there's a front gate that is closed just when kids go out to have some free time between classes, but that's the only time that gate is closed. I don't see any reason to have any control on who or when ppl enter the school, there's usually school workers / teachers around and if someone sketchy would be around, that'd be noticed intantly, but definetly no need to be overdramatic about it, I have never heard of any story of random adults going into schools to do any bad thing, ever in my life.
Actually, from 6 years old to 11 years old, at primary school, I always walked alone for 20 minutes from my house to the school, no need of my parents to pick me up, and surely I never had any risk doing it.
We both walked to school alone without parents as well.
In the UK you cannot simply walk into a school building without checks or a guardian password or ID and a sign in. Even though there are no school shootings here, dangers are everywhere & children must be protected.
I think the school thing is confusing to Europeans (Germans especially) because we often don't have a Campus like structure (that's mostly newer buildings) - so schools are everywhere, in neighborhoods, next to supermarkets, in historical buildings, without fences or anything. They have an eye on younger children and with Kindergartens, places are locked, but thats all. And ofc we Germans let our kids roam around at a very young age, that's a challenge for a lot of non-german parents. I heard it a lot as a general "culture shock", not necessarily only for Americans.
Regards the schools and people allowed to walk in. There are people looking after your kids and keeping an eye on what's going on. But it's not security guards with metal detectors. It's teachers who treat the kids as a responsibility and not an inconvenience. The teachers keep an eye on who's around and what's going on. They are the authority on site. It also leads into what you said on the next part about everybody not being stressed out always wondering who's out to attack you. It's a different environment.
That said, my NZ highschool in the 90s probably did require sign in. But not police background checks lol... just a name and home phone number probably. I remember the teachers standing at the gate keeping watch as we were their legal respobsibility until we got out so they stood there making sure we were safe including crossing the street. Right up until age 18. The private school I went to from age 6 to 14 before that was similar. People could come and go but were watched by the teachers and had to give their name and contact number.
"We need to go travel." New Zealand is opening up again :) Realisticly, what are you actually waiting for? Other than summer.... it's cold wet and miserable here right now and I have to mow lawns outside in it haha.
Contrary to popular belief, there aren't security guards with metal detectors at every school. Unfortnately, that has to change because of our gun laws.. Everything you explained is what happens here. We just don't allow random people to be at the school without a reason. New Zealand is at the top of our list. Soon!
Oh and just regarding child safety: I know there is a lot of fear from parents about random strangers kidnapping kids, but that are occurrences that are so rare that it's of no to little statistical significance. And, yes, even in the US: according to the US department of Justice, 99% of abductions are by family members and 82% of child sex abuse comes from family members or friends as abusers. I always hate the "stranger danger" trope that's so rare (and good that we take measures) when the real threat is overwhelmingly sitting at your table.
U.S police have around 3 months training, some European have 3 years +
In Germany you can go into schools as normal. As far as I know, you don't have to register anywhere. However, the children are not left unsupervised. When they are in class, a teacher is there, of course. And there are supervisors during the breaks. These supervisors are usually teachers. So if someone walked in there and was approaching a kid, it certainly wouldn't go unnoticed. That's probably why no one tries it. When I was at school, I never had the feeling that anything could happen to me on the school grounds, except for bullies.
I love these reactions. I'm from New Zealand, live in Australia, and have been to 30+ countries.
In Australia, we are paid above standard, and get paid penalty rates (if you work weekends or unsociable hours you can be paid up to double the rate)
4 weeks paid vacation + 12 days of public holidays (either paid or given extra time off) + a lot of jobs pay between 10%-20% bonus holiday pay
We have guaranteed superannuation
Primary and High school is free
Ambulance and healthcare are paid for by taxes so it's free or heavily subsidized
Medication is heavily subsidized.
I injured myself in the UK, and had major category 3 surgery on my knee back in Australia (worth $25,000 usd) + medication (1100 usd) + physio (5600 usd) + ongoing support...... cost me $0
I live in the UK, I've never earned more than £30,000 pa (so that tells you I don't and never have lived in the south of England) and I was debt free by 25, bought a three bedroomed house with full gardens fully paid off in 10 years, travelled the world...
So how's that sound for basic life?
Great!
@@TheDemouchetsREACT I'll add to that, I paid for my multitude of second hand cars in cash, paid for my holidays in cash, and here's the kicker - the moment I paid off my 25 year mortgage in 10 years I had £1000 a month disposable income (to spend how, when, where I wished). So if you're asking where the money comes from... It's all that money you pay others to use theirs...
Do you know the trick? I was taught it by an account long ago... Get rid of ALL debt - use credit cards but pay them off every month and steer clear of any that have charges and fees - as a priority over anything else... If you haven't got it don't spend it. Then you find what you have goes a lot further....
Thank you for reacting to this video! This was the one I was talking about, especially the guy who mentioned about his company in Berlin forcing him to take 3 weeks off and not to come back to the office until then as he had to use up his annual leave! Please do ore reaction videos to this, there are so many of these videos and it will really offer you a new perspective as to how people live in Europe and other countries! Great reaction guys, hope you’re both well!
We're definitely gaining a new perspective on how Americans are viewed. More on the way, Jenny!😊
Denmark has: 6 weeks vacation 52 week paid maternaty leave. Unlimited sick days, free education free healtcare.
In regards to finding someone to go out with because everyone is so tired through working so hard….it made me realise that in many ways America is a contradiction…you can be so friendly and helpful, willing to talk to strangers….but then many seem so angry all the time, aggressive, selfish…, it’s very confusing.
The cop thing really is surreal to me, where i live(Czech Republic) cops literally have to take psychosis test each year, physical tests, they go through deep background check before being even allowed to TRY to work as a cop. Also the school thing, its not really true, doors are usually locked past the time last student is supposed to come and they unlock only after the first students are supposed to go home in between if somone tries to get inside you gotta ring the bell, someone comes out, asks you what your bussiness in there is and depending on a place they might check with teacher or with the kid or something and THEN they let you in.
17:30 "What are the odds the people are dealing with the opposite of what we call freedom". Damn, that was a very good statement. Food for thought!
How cool the lady at 11:54 saying "comunque..." (italian for "anyway"). Looks like she learned some language hehe. Anyway 30 euro is 31 dollars, not 40.
I'm always so sad when I hear that people can't go to the doctor because they're afraid they don't have the money for it. I'll just say that in my country health insurance is free and all citizens have it regardless of how old they are and whether they are employed or not. If an ambulance is called, it's also free. I'll refer to the private health sector as well. The examination is 15-20 euros, the ultrasound is 30-40 euros, the blood and urine tests are about 30 euros. Now, during covid, vaccines were free, how for citizens as well as for foreigners. Since we are a tourist country, the PcR test was also free for foreigners. Vacation is one month (with weekends) and you can take it whenever you want, as long as you inform the administration. And if you are sick and go on sick leave, as long as you bring a certificate from the doctor, you have nothing to worry about because you will also receive a salary. Pregnant women who go on maternity leave (for one year) also receive a salary for that time.
Unpaid doctor visits actually go on our credit reports as well. Which country are you in?
Schools in the USA are really like prisons, i was there in 2013 after living overseas for so long and thought, this is insane.
This goes for the shooting too! That is not normal and now it happens almost daily there.
It is so bad there that people i know here in Europe have sold their properties in the USA because they have no desire to visit a warzone for vacation.
Education is the worst
I live in Austria, and here the children walk alone to school when they are 6. It's normal here. Nothing happens to them.
Spain here. Talking about the cops situation.. This maybe shocking but is the reality. To become a cop in Spain you have to pass a test called "oposiciones" ( you have access to the test only if you have all the requirements they need/ including mental health and normal medical test) then you have to pass the "oposiciones". Ppl usually pass the test at their 2'5 year of trying, studying 4-5 hours every day only to have a place in the police academy. Some ppl even pass at their seven year of trying. JUST TO GET TO THE ACADEMY. The oposiciones include a physical attitude test, knowledge test, an interview and psicological test. Then if u manage to get there you will be training for 6-9 months in the academy + 3 months of "aula abierta" ( is all normal lessons ), so THEN you will be put in some minor position as a student to do your year of practice with other superior cops who will be checking how are u doing. At the end of the year you have to pass the final exam and then depending of your grades they will put in a position as a cop and will send you where your are going to serve (all over Spain). The reason why is that hard is because "oposiciones" is not just a test, it doesn't matter if you have a 7/10, you are competing against other ppl, thousands of ppl and the places are limited...
Pd: I know this because someone I know is trying to become a cop ( is her 4 year trying studyng 12 hours everyday...)
That's why is called a police career I guess...
It definitely separates a job from a career!
In regards of inflation, that is worldwide. The US is doing slightly worse than most European countries for the lack of taxes it can relief in times of crisis and a lack of courage to implement measures that might help. Having a party that doesn't do anything but obstruct and create strife doesn't help either.
My statutory paid holidays this year (Hungary):
Base: 20 days (this is the minimum)
Due to children: 4 days (each child gets +2 days every year)
Due to age: 8 days (increases by one day every two years)
Carried over from last year: 3 days (I couldn't use them all last year)
Other: 0 days (e.g.: fathers also get 5 days when a child is born)
Total: 35 days
In Italy I walked with my friends to kindergarten by ourselves without any parents or adults, and our parents never had to be anxious about that. I never heard of kidnappers or rapists.
ANSWER TO YOUR CREDIT QUESTION: In (most) European countries, we do not have credit system like in the US. When someone needs a loan from a bank, they will ask for the typical papers such whether they own property, monthly payslips, etc. and then make a decision based on that documentation. Each bank also have specific programmes and allowances for different types of loans, aimed at benefiting people who might not pass the regular check. People can get loans for starting a business or getting a home that are backed by the government or have higher interest rates depending on risk.
New subscriber here. I am an American living in Japan. Medical treatment here is definitely cheaper than in the US. Last week I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, two procedures that cost about $1500 each on the low end, cost me only 10,000 yen ($90). This included anesthesia.
Honestly, I highly recommend all American visit another country (not including Canada) at least once in their life. And I especially wish that more black people traveled. In most countries, you will feel welcomed, (maybe stared at), but you will not feel rejected.
I have been the only black person, sometimes the only American (or foreigner in general), and have people take interest in me and want to talk with me. Sometimes to practice their English, other times just to being to say that they talked with someone from another country.
Cause usa only cares for money not your health
I feel like the entirety of America would be LESS fucked up if they socialised medicine more, increased wages and put more into education, mental health and job training and availability. I’m just a bumble British citizen but it’s kinda the governments job to care for the citizens of the country he or she is essentially in control of, and being healthy is a basic human right.
We agree.
Update on the mass shooting we had the other day in a shopingmall.
3 dead and 4 wounded - the worst we have had in 15 years.
The shooter is a 22 year old mental ill man.
The weapen was a singleshot compettition rifle. (For target shooting.)
A legal weapen - but not his own.
(Autamatics like ar15 are not allowed here - imagine if!)
15 minutes after first 911call he was arrested.
Police did not fire any shot, taze or maze.
Praying for you all!🙏🏾❤
Identifying the problem is the first step to fixing it.
Documenting everything that comes into schools having strict visitor policies ect sounds more like a prison to me. I could never live in a country where schools feel more like a prison than the prison itself.
@John Ashtone That is just absurd. Finland we dont have any receptions, no guards, no metal detectors, because our society trust its people.
We've had only 3 school incidents since 2000 and less than 20 people have died together in them. Its not right in my opinion to make school feel like u must sign because something bad might happen.
@John Ashtone I understand that it might not be as easy to do this kind of stuff in england without speaking of US, but id just rather move than force my kids go to school where police are around and there are metal detectors.
@John Ashtone thats atleast what some US schools have.
@John Ashtone not police, but some schools do have security guards who carry tasers instead of guns. some schools (usually in areas with high gang activity) have metal detectors to prevent students from rival gangs bringing knives or guns on campus and hurting or killing each other
In Australia you get four weeks vacation leave each year on full pay, three months full pay maternity leave after giving birth, 10 days full pay sick leave, also paid compassion leave, employer funded retirement. Minimum wage is about $20/hr. Employees are valued in other countries. I’ve lived in the US years ago and it’s really sad to see how employees are treated.
Great benefits! It is truly sickening, which is the reason many people chose not to return after the pandemic.
Referring to min.13:39.
Americans are so used to violence and bad things happening in high schools that even the thought of not having security is absurd. I personally live in Italy and we don’t have any security in any school, just janitors who control the kids during break times. We don’t need that because nothing bad ever happened.
So sorry that you have to think about school not being a safe space.
Our children are little. There are so many years until they reach high school. Is a sign in sheet considered "too much security"?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT The one just walking into the class is a bit extreme. Most schools in the UK will ask people who they are and what they want when you enter the school. On another note have noticed on you tube and news sites that American schools seem to have multiple entrances to the school grounds. UK schools have one maybe two entrances and high fencing around the grounds. Not sure if this is to keep the students in or keep control over who enters.
You guys are so sweet, you really need to pick up your babies and move. At the moment it is hard in the UK (where I am), because of the recession that will happen real soon. But you need to maybe look further a field in Europe and hope for the best for those little ones, our kids make us stronger 😘
I live in Germany...my school compound was in a forest with several separated buildings- several ways to access - all ages, from Kindergarten to 12. Class....no sinning in...but also no abduction ....we played in the forrest and had a normal bus station(with people who had nothing to do with the school using it too) at the mane entry...
Every teacher new every kid and parents knew which other kids where in the same class, so every one takes care of each other- even the kids...it is like a community...i think the thing missing in the US is maybe trust
Most euro-countries the parents have a talk with their child about not interact with strangers and very clear directives on whom going to pick them up etc. You can walk into a school but you must have a errand, else you have to go register for a visitors badge, or staff will ask you who you are and what you there for.
We also have schools for high-profile kids, where the parents has reason to think someone might use their child to get to them. Then you have to let the school know you going to visit in advance.
Thank you for sharing, Jenny!
5:51 that's exactly the case. I'm Australian and we have the highest standards of living in the world with the Scandinavian countries and most of Europe basically and no one I know has any desire to go America. It's so incredibly violent and unsafe, even when you compare it to third world countries that unless it's Hawaii or an isolated resort no one from Europe or Asia or Australia would feel safe
Your mind will be blown when you find out that here in scandinavia it's cool to leave your kids out infront of a store or Café in their strolers when we go in. Oh, and little kids nap outside all year round.
Buying a house here you get a loan based on what you are able to pay - go to your bank and get a rough estimate of your budget, then you find shop for loans, typically a safe loan will be 0.5 -2 % interest over 20-40 years, depending on how long you want it to run.
Most people don't use creditcards, in what americans think of as creditcards. But have a card linked to your account. There are a minor fee around $10-20 every 3 months(which is usually offeset from what the Bank pays you in interests). Meaning you only spend what actually in your account. The Bank pays you to hold your money, income-loan-interests.
We'd get thrown in jail if we did that here😂. Outside naps in cool weather is the best!
@@TheDemouchetsREACT And super healthy
I’m not sure about other places but my primary (elementary) school did have gates around it, and so did other ones I know - though I think this was partly to make sure the kids didnt leave and run into the road, because the gates weren’t always that high, but high enough to stop a kid. The middle schools and high schools I know never had barriers though, you could just wander in and out, and sometimes there are multiple entrances you can enter through, not just the reception.
Again I don’t know if this is the same everywhere in the country, it could just be the ones around me.
You said you wanted to know about credit. That works very differently here. I do not know how it works in every country, but I have experience in The Netherlands (I am Dutch) and in Spain, where I currently live. The systems are the same. First of all, you can only get a credit card when you can prove you have a regular income. And whatever you spend with that credit card is taken out of your bank account at the end of the month, in full. You generally do not have the option to pay in instalments with extra rent and such. Some cards give that option, but most do not and people also do not want that, as they do not want to build up credit card debt.
The limit you can spend on the card per month depends on your income. If you are a student or junior level worker it can be around 500 to 1000 euros, but if you have a good job it can be around 2500 euros. There are cards with a higher maximum, but that is not very common in my experience. And also for the cards with the higher maximum you will have to pay everything you spent in full at the end of the month, they just take it out of your account.
If you cannot pay and go into the red, your bank will warn you to add money into your account. Only if this happens repeatedly or if you fail to get out of the dept you will be put into a specific registry that could affect you when you want to get another credit card or a loan, such as a mortgage. In general, credit card debt is way lower in Europe and people usually have only one credit card, maybe two, but that is it. If you have spent your maximum for that month, the card will simply be declined. That happened to me once at a hotel in the USA and when I did not have another credit card and offered to pay in cash or with my debit card they looked at me as if I was a criminal or a homeless person. "Do you have bad credit?!" No, I just have limited credit to protect me from getting into debt, just like anyone else in Europe? That was an alien idea to them :-)
People should never be one pay cheque away from homelessness. There r many counties where the govt has a good safety net for the unemployed & unemployable, where they provide universal healthcare including mental health & cheap/affordable housing for those that need it. It doesn't eliminate homelessness completely but it sure does help.
Sometimes it seems that Americans love their country but it doesn't love them back (& too often they just can't see it)
America actually has resources available to those in need. The federal minimum wage and cost of living doesn't match, which is the problem.
About entering a school: you said 'I don't know' and 'you never know'. We do know. School shootings in the Netherlands since the invention of the gun: 0
Our children attend school in America. We can't speak for anywhere else. We're so glad you don't have this problem.
11:37omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 America have us very mess up, why did I think she was going to say my Dog 😂😂😂😂omg
American Police education is regulated by the States themselves. On average to go from the first-day education to a fully armed Officer on the streets takes 16 weeks!!!!!!!!!!
In Sweden, you start with 2,5 years of full-time university education followed by 6 months of a full-paid trainee. It´s like this in most western countries
Just accidentally found this channel and I love it, keep up the great work
❤❤
Hi guys. I'm Canadian 🇨🇦, and I have had medical issues for 6 years. Thank God I have Universal Healthcare!
Been to America four times, loved it every time!
Im loving your videos!! New sub!! 🇩🇴🇺🇸💃🏻🙌🏼
Englishman here breaks my heart this you seem awesome people come live here please we'd love you
try watching this video, since you talked about the police: cops from around the world react U.S. policing, on the New York Times channel , comunque Is anyway In Italian 🇮🇹😁 ,if you want to watch videos on the various countries of the world, I recommend the geography now channel, maybe you could watch the video about Italy 😂
In the UK you have to sign in all schools and colleges (16-18) show ID at reception and wear a visitors pass. They are relatively safe but not just any Tom Dick or Harry can walk into schools unimpeded! We still walked to school on our own from aged 7. (That was in the 80’s though!😆) But nothings changed much because my Son walked to school by himself from aged 9. (We are British and black) the reality of education here is just all round safer I guess but there are still precautions. Love your videos!👌🏽🤓♥️
When I went to the US, I went to the grocery store qith a friend and she told me to go get something from another section. I asked her where I could fin it and she said "Next to de assault rifles". I thought she was kidding... She wasn't. The we had a long talk on how viewing that as something normal is utterly insane.
I watched another video f an American living in the UK and he brought up the freedom of speech topic. In America you have freedom of speech, but that also means that a person could call you the N word or a gay person a fag etc. and while it may be froned apon its not illegal. In the UK what we have is freedom of expression but there is fine line where that expression racialy or sexually insults or, insites hatred or violence which is illegal, and that is a big difference
We love that! Huge difference!
4:10
This happened to me in Sweden too.
I got the application for vacation AFTER it was supposed to be handed in so I just went, whatever, I just wait nt take any vacation.
When I was leaving work a few days later the head of HR came RUNNING across the parkinglot with a super paniced look on jag a face going "wth man, you havent applies for vacation" and I was like "i got the application to late, so... Ill just not take it" and he was like "you cant do that, you have to take vacation".
They literally locked my accounts and told me to not come back in 5 weeks.
Schools in the UK do require you to sign in and if they don't recognise you e.g. regular care giver/parent, then they will ask for proof of who you are, or for the parent/care giver to notify them of who will be collecting the child that day. You can't just walk into a school here unless you work/ attend it as a student. I like that we have gates and fences to protect the kids. However, secondary school children (ages 11 - 18) they are allowed to leave the school site at lunchtimes to go and get food, but this is at the schools discretion.
We have cigarrette machines in Europe but you have to have a credit card or EC card which most adults have.
15:12 „all is free“ …to be precise: it‘s free, because public pays for it in form of taxes. And the reasons are: contribute a new life to society is a reason to celebrate. Not only the parents should take care, all friends and all people around should take care, of that life is healthy, that this life getting the best but AFFORDABLE education it can understand (not all people are geniuses, some are .. we need them) , with that education new life can contribute to the society and ALSO pay taxes for the unfortunate once’s, the older people etc.
13:12 you can cut this part out and send it to this girl making the video "First Time U Realized America Really Messed You Up"
coz I'm 40 and never ever in my life have I head of someone endangering kids in class. Not saying there are no rapists or maniacs but never heard of a case connected to a school. I'm from Serbia, couple of years ago, if I remember correctly, some French couple tried to steal a baby out on the street, just picked it up from a stroller when mom wasn't watching for a sec. The whole country STOPPED! In half an hour, the whole country was closed, and I mean everything, all boarder crossing, all train stations, all airports, bus stations EVERYTHING! They were caught in an hour and a half, just near the border.
I definitely wasn't saying rapists, kidnappers, etc. were trying to get in the school. I could've explained that part better. Much love to Serbia! That is amazing and how it should be done!
I also noticed a lot of Americans prioritise work and the grind over all. Being proud of how many hours they put in and how much money they earn. Here in the UK we work so we can have good experiences, spend time with family, go on vacation. Eat good food, drink good wine! Spend time with friends regularly. We work to live where as its seems (correct me if I’m wrong) Americans live to work.
Facts it's sad no life
UK here, on the school subject, my daughters primary school (ages 5/6-11/12, depending on where your birthday falls) has an 10ft fence around the outside and the gates are locked when kids are taken into classrooms in the morning and parents have left, and unlocked again at pick up time, if you need to go into school for any reason, you have to go to the front office and be signed in and let in through a security door.
Her high school (ages 11/12- 15/16) has open gates all day, But theres only 1 way into the school, and that's through main reception.
I live in a fairly small town in a rural area. Both her high school and primary school are no more than a 3 min walk from my house, we dont have a reason to worry about gunmen or stabbings out here, the highest death rate in my local area is car accidents (we have open winding roads with some unexpected blind corners, and ALOT of potholes!)
Yes there are shady people everywhere, but the kids tend to stick together and walk to and from school in groups, they all have phones, my daughter txts me every morning to let me know that shes in school, and then if shes going to be later than expected, she always txts me and let's me know. Although that's only since going to high school, I dropped her off and picked her up every day from primary school! primary school size is roughly 250 pupils, high school is roughly 700.
Sorry for the essay, just wanted to explain that they are secure and safe for the kids, we just dont have a need for metal detectors at the entry points or security guards stationed in schools, like I have seen tragically too many times on the news coming from the USA.
As an outsider looking in, I cant help but think, if you need all that security in a school, then the schools aren't safe, and if the schools aren't safe, what is?
In the UK we get 28 days paid leave per year, some companies offer an incentive to stay with the company by offering an extra couple of weeks after you've been with the company for a certain amount of time.
You never know....😂🤣But somehow we do in Europe. Kidnappers and all mentioned is a product of your sociaty and cases in Europe are so low that it's not considered a danger.
But it happens, correct?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT No it does not. This is why it is normal to let babies sleep outside of a café, your apartment or the restaurant the mother is dining in. No security at any school, university or childcare. Anything is possible but at a certain low level the possibility gets so small that it would be the same as fearing to win the lottery All the time or be hit by a comet and a lightning bolt at the same time. If the possibility was real and it did happen there would be security in some form. My 9 year old daughter bikes alone from school every day and that is also pretty normal on Denmark where we live. I know it sounds dangerous but you have to remember that no danger has been there to make it dangerous.
Regarding the High school entry story - I think you might have misunderstood the context as there are still barriers to entry in most schools, especially for young kids. You can walk into the school etc and possibly go to the class but most countries have something that America does not have a LOT of - the students are required to wear uniforms. Someone walking on the compound who is not a student there will more than likely be out of uniform and WILL stick out like a sore thumb. Most schools have a security guard who mans the gate of the school also. No matter who is on the compound, school security, teachers and other students can demand to know who that person is if they seem strange. Also, most schools in my country (Jamaica) may now have security cameras (my sons who are in preschool and the first grade have schools that are secured by cameras and security) but they certainly do NOT have metal detectors and I have never seen or heard of a shooting drill. My country is a very violent one per the numbers, and yet, this has still not found its way into the schools by the students or even the adults in the frequency of the American situation.
For supper conforadable life in Estonia it takes about 850 to 1100 eur, sepending location.
That includes daily restaurant visits, clubbing, medical, rent and any other expences.
In Germany, the Training to be a,, cop,, is 3 years... +some times 1 year.. Praktical and school.. I think in the US it's 5 months..... That is abig difference.. 🤔🚓
US is 3 months on average. And the shocking part is when you realize for something to be 3 months average there have to be cops with even less than that.
As a matter of fact there is a larger than zero percentage of US cops that have no training at all.
Talk about scary things to know...😶
You can look up cost of living indexes online where they compare groceries, transportation, rent etc. What they don't show is how big the salaries are and how much the taxes are. But it's a good start
14:35 that is also about mentality. In Europe you can see a clear gradient from north to south where people go from more reserved to more rumbustious ... I mean Germans are seen as Stoic and reserved. Italians and Greeks are seen as more chaotic and temperamental
Hi UK here, everything is more expensive right now here and in europe etc. Our goverments have offered us some support though.
Love your chanel!
Thank you for the love! Much love to the UK!
Americans do understand, The businesses definitely do understand the threat to their profits, and bank balance.
13:55 No, they´re not everywhere. That´s the thing with at least Europe. Such things only happen very rarely.
I'm a 41 year old Norwegian. I don't remember a single time on the news my whole life a kid being snatched from school. I lived in Florida for two years, amber alerts on my phone almost weekly if not more often. I have come to believe the US lacks the crucial ingredient of people caring about their fellow man, in the US people get so screwed by the system they're scrambling to survive, divided and conquered by the corporations and corrupt politicians that de facto rule the USA. I love Americans but you're living in a lower form of civilization, your only way out is money out of politics and good free education for ALL. Vote, tell your friends and family to vote, educate your young to vote cause your educational systems does not.
In the UK we get 5 weeks of paid holidays, and it mandatory. Your employers will literally get into trouble with the law if you do not take a month off a year.
13:53 yup I agree!!!
Credit score just entered italy unfortunately but before that, they just checked how much you earn to see if you could repay the debt. No tax or low tax for your first home. High taxes on your second or third.
In the UK they cut off 50% of the deposit payment if you earn less than 80k per year for your first home.
In Luxembourg you have twenty five mandatory days paid holiday, plus eleven paid public holidays. Unlimited paid sick days. Full healthcare (3% of my salary was taken at source for that.) Free countrywide public transport, for everyone, cross border workers and tourists included. Minimum wage is the equivalent to $15 per hour. The norm being eight hour days, forty hour weeks.
In school we have adults like Pion, people looking after rules of school, professors etc. And they are looking after the kids. We are not afraid of rapist etc, because we don't have much. Mostly it's parents fighting each other for the kids. When kids are young, the teacher won't let it go with a Stanger.
And many children go to school by themselves, by walk, cycling...
There are many people from USA that moved to Africa such as Mali Ghana senegal etc nigeria
Yeah I am Canadian. New mothers get 18 months paid for Maternity Leave after give birth to a baby. For my company I get 10 days paid sick wellness day (which can be also for mental health) and I get 20 days paid Vacation Days.
in most EU countries you get between 3-6 weeks paid vacation. Im from Sweden and i get 5 weeks paid vacation. Me and my wife gets 480 days of paid perental leave for each kid, and i get 80% of my paycheck when im sick or if im home with my kid thats sick. Dont have a set amount of sick days either. If you are sick you are sick. And on top of that i get 71 minutes per week with full pay if i need to go to an appointment. Then the amount of minutes is taken from that, and you can save up thoose minutes. Have some people at work that had 100 plus hours of that time. So some of them took a week extra vacation.
Yeah in usa they get barely 6 months of info (dont call it schooling), in europe it is usually 4 sometimes 6 in some cases even 8years for police.
I’m from England and have just moved to a bungalow from a 4 bedroom house with a 100ft garden nd my rent was £412 amonth nd you would say social housing we call them council houses
So one thing I hear a lot is "oh yeah sure in other countries than america life is more chilled out, more focus on family, more time for yourself etc etc, but that's why they're not the leaders in science and technology and much business in general" and that's also just wrong. There are many ways to run a business. The Netherlands is an example country that leads the pack in many things. One of the best examples might be the company ASML. There is almost no better employer anywhere. Super good terms there, loads of off days, management working with you, all sorts of shit included on site things you'd normally do in your off-time. If you're not feeling your work for a moment you can go work out at the on-site gym or go to the on-site mall or anything at all.... Stay home and work from home unannounced at any moment if circumstances demand it. Just call in and inform what you're doing that day. And this company has a monopoly on the tech it develops. It's the single driving force between all modern chips wordwide. It powers global society. I cannot overstate their importance to humanity this day and age on planet Earth and they are chill. The only ties it has to Sillicon Valley is with the companies that depend on them. And that's just one example.
In Finland and most democratic countries health care and education goes people first not money or religion. I hope you get your american dream, whatever it is. Here in Finland we are wake and take care each other.
Our American dream is 100% based on the work we do for ourselves, not dependent on anything our government can or cannot provide.
4:10 in Italy is seven weeks, I’m like what!!! My parents moved to the wrong country 😂😂😂
