Exciting Egypt

Exciting Egypt
   My country is Egypt. Egypt is in Northeastern Africa. I think that Egypt was very interesting to learn about. I was really surprised that Egypt and the United States had so many similarities. The Egyptian government is set up very similarly to our own. Their government has three branches, a legislative branch, and executive branch, and a judicial branch. Also like us, Egypt is a republic. I was really surprised that Egypt and the United States had such a similar government. I figured that because Egypt was in a totally different continent on the other side of the world, its government would be almost opposite to our own, but I guess not. One difference between Egypt and the United States is their religion. The United States is full of different religions, while in Egypt, the majority of Egyptians are Arab. Because of this, quite a few laws in Egypt reflect the Arabic customs. I think that is is very interesting how Egypt’s government chooses to allow Arabic customs to effect their government. I have never heard of that before. Another similarity of Egypt and the United States is the education. However, public schools are free. Egyptian school teach math, history, social studies, science, and art. Unlike the United States, Egyptians are not taught to read and write in school. That is the reason most Egyptians cannot read. Private schools focus more on foreign languages because most students speak them. English and French are very common. I think that Egypt is a very interesting country, and I can’t wait to learn more about it.

  1. I think you've found some very interesting similarities between Egypt and the US. I do, however want you to look further into the government, as it is not quite as stable as it once was. It is coming out of a lot of riots and unrest. It will be a very interesting country to learn about as the months go on! Can't wait to hear your presentation!
