The Problems of Cross Culture
I love cross culture - it is great to speak with people from America and other countries all the time. There are however a few things that confuse me, which seem general knowledge to people who live in the USA.
1) What are the rating systems in America? Over here "R' rated means only people over eighteen are allowed to watch them and they are most likely full of violence, sex and adult themes ect. I'm sensing that its different in America though, and its difficult for some reason to find these things on the internet, if you type in "American Movie Ratings" it comes up with movies that are out.
2) How old are you when you go to High School? When do you go to Elementory school? What about middle school?
3) How come you get accepted into collage before school finishes? Do you have some sort of final exam?
4) How do you register to Vote in America? Where do you vote? (In Australia we vote Who votes - because some people don't. (Unlike Australia where it is compulsary to vote)
So if any Americans read this, can you answer some of my questions? You can post as anonymous, so you don't even have to be my friend :)
