The difference between Ukraine and Britain

Today I want to tell a few words about UK and Ukraine. These two countries are totally different. With different culture, politics, religion, mentality of people, education system.
 UK is one of the most well-developed country with stable economy in the world, however UK keeping strong their traditions and protect their own culture, and do not want to be influenced by any of large countries or communities.
 In this way Ukraine is not such powerful country, I guess that's because it gained an independency only in 1991. In connect to this point Ukraine still did a great improvement in last 10 years. The development in Ukrainian politics, business, level of life etc, was recognized by a lot of world organisation, but there is still too much work should be done.
 As I told before, there are too many differences between these countries. Ukraine is a -parliamentary-presidential republic, whether UK has limited monarchy, but PM is the main person in UK parliament. Religion is different as well, UK – catholic, Ukraine – orthodoxy country. The culture and people's mentality are opposite different, and everybody connects just in one, everybody wants to be happy. People in the UK and Ukraine have different priorities and gains, it all based on timing and history. Because Ukrainians havebeen treating by different larger countries, in case the UK was free. 
 Also, education process is not the same. In Ukraine children go to school at 6-years old, and finish it at 16’s. Then they pass final exams. There are two part of it, nation exam around all Ukraine; it’s called “ZNO” and exams inside the school. With these results they apply to Universities, and in September enter there. The higher education consists of 4-5 year bachelor’s degree + 1-2 years for master degree. When, in the UK people entry to University only when they get 18 year old, and finish in 3-4 years.
 In conclusion, I can say that even if UK and Ukraine are really different, I am still in love with both of them. Each country has its good and bad sides, each nation has its own culture and traditions, but I guess, that everybody wants to be happy and satisfied with their needs and lives without wars and crises.
