I had many conversations about being American with people from different cultures in Germany. Everyone thinks the U.S. is the best place to be. I am beginning to understand why. I was interested in seeing the differences between Germany and the U.S. because they seemed so similar. They have very strict gun control laws oversees. Recently, the German even have just passed a law concerning women's rights. In the U.S. we have had these laws in detail to protect women for some time now. There are many small differences that go unnoticed unless someone is looking for them. I spoke with a few refugees while sightseeing who come from war torn countries. America is a sign of hope for a lot of people. They see it as a safe haven that is full of opportunity. In the countries they come from there are no opportunities for these people. Even in the countries where they are staying there is limited opportunities. They are not citizens of these states, which means they have no rights there.
