11 November 2014 The comparison of two epic lifestyles
The human race tend to take things in life for granted. Someone once quoted the people who make our clothes are poor we are rich. Is this a true statement about America? Instead of appreciating the finer things in life. However some people in today’s society are grateful at the same time. Sometimes we have to sit back and consider others who don’t have the luxuries we have. Although Cambodians and Americans are both human beings there lifestyles are very different in a way. The Americans live the luxurious lifestyle compared to the Cambodians. We call it the American way also known as the American dream. But we still at the same time tend to take it for granted. Shockingly the Cambodia’s on the other hand tend to look at things on bright side of things and be grateful for what they have. For example the lifestyle of the Americans is very luxurious they go to school or either work go home enjoy their family and go to sleep. When they want and how they want. On the other hand the Cambodians barley get a good decent meal they have to go to work to support their family. That they only get to see once or twice a year. The Americans can do what they love to do for a living its many careers the Americans can choose to do. From playing sports to staring in movies the Americans have it made some of them tend to look over the opportunities they have in life. It states in the book that cambodnies have to pay for a job in the USA its free pg.128. The cambodinies are forced to mature faster and take on duties than the average American child.
Everybody in today’s society needs an education in order to succeed in the world. In America education is the key to success but in Cambodia it’s a little different. Americans are granted an education up till college. On the other hand Cambodia’s are not promised the same opportunities some are forced to quit school and
