wow! you now know so much about switzerland! your friend jordan, however, knows nothing about it. in a few months,
his family is going on a tour of switzerland. he has asked you to him learn more about it before his trip.
write jordan a three-paragraph letter in english, and compare the culture of switzerland and american culture, especially in
terms of foods, sports, transportation, population, and demographics. how is your culture similar to that of switzerland's?
how is it different? use a lot of details to jordan prepare for the trip, and have fun! you can use the internet and the
information from the culture videos to get ideas and information. (5 points per paragraph)

Switzerland and the USA have a complete different Political system. Switzerland is a direct democracy, i.e. even if Parliament or the Switzerland's federal legislature as it's called voted for something it only takes 50,000 votes to overturn a referendum.

Switzerland is very liberal but reserved. The Swiss people are slow to warm up to foreigners. Everything in Switzerland is extremely expensive but also very clean! You'll hardly ever see a Homeless person, they are usually taken care off by the Canton/City as a ward.

The food is a mixture of every culture around Switzerland, like italy, Germany, France and Austria. Typical Swiss Foods are of course Fondue (Switzerland produces over 450 different kinds of cheese), Raclette, Züri geschnetzeltes (veal in cream sauce) with Rösti ( hash browns), incidentally the language divider between the Swiss German part and French part called the Röstigraben (Graben = Trench, of course, there is no trench) and cities along there are bi-lingual including street signs.

Switzerland has 4 official languages, German 60%, French 27%, Italian 8.4 and Romansh 0.6%.

Switzerland has a wide variety of sports, like soccer, skiing and everything in between. Men are conscripted to the military (some women can volunteer lately) and have more guns per capita than the USA. Yet there are no mass shootings!!!

Transportation is expensive but new/clean and on-time! Most people speak at least 3 to 4 foreign languages plus the almost ubiquitous English (more inthe German part). The education system is completely different from the USA.

Although regulated on a Cantonal level they are very similar. Not everyone is going 12 years to school, as a matter of fact, children are only in the same class until grade 6, then depending on their grades, they get split into 4 to 7 different groups. The lowest go to 6-9 and into a 3 year  apprenticeship. Same for the Real/Sekundar classes. Only if you are at the highest level you'll attend the Gymnasium that leads to a matura which is basically your entrance exam to the Universities. There are several tracks of Gymnasium. A is for old languages like Greek and Latin and prepares you to go to Med school or a Seminary. B is for new languages, C is Math and hard Sciences and E is for Economics that most pupils transfer via an entrance exam from Secondary school with top grades. If you are good at any kind of sport that doesn't give you the right to go to University. Sports play a much smaller role in the Swiss Educational system. Swiss Universities are practically free compared to the US. Only a few hundred CHF per semester. Undergrads are taught in German or the local Language, MS and PhD track are mostly taught in English.

The Swiss are extremely punctual and clean. It's almost sterile compared to the USA. It also has close to 30% of foreigners living or working in Switzerland due to the high standard of living and closeness to the borders to Germany, Austria, Italy and France.

I could go on and on - but I hope this helps.
