Belarus is a presidential republic. Belarus is situated in the centre of Europe at the crossing of roads going from East to West and from North to South. Our land has been very attractive geopolitically for many foreign countries.

Belarusian traditions and features of the national character were formed in the course of complex history. The country was engulfed (игалфт) by many military conflicts, World Wars, national liberation revolts, revolutions and repressions. So, our extraordinary history cultivated special character traits of our people, the main of them are tolerance and diligence.

The second aspect of the Belarusian character is that a Belarusian holds tight to what he has gained. He regards the external world with little trust.

At the same time, in the view of Belarusians themselves, they are loved and respected by everyone. People turn to Belarusians for help and support, because they know that a Belarusian will always be responsive and helpful. Belarusian people always enjoy receiving guests and are perfect at this. So they are very hОspitable.

Belarus is a pоlyethnic and poly confessional state in which over 130 nationalities reside. So it isn't surprising how the past and the present, traditions of the East and the West exist in close relations here. For a long time people of different nationalities and creeds (убеждения, символы веры) have been living in peace and consent in this country.

Belarusians are very peaceful and not aggressive.

In general, I can characterize Belarusians as kind, tolerate, hard-working and soulful people.

As for the British, we know they are very conservative and dislike any possible changes in life. They respect their usual way of life and their habits. It's known that different corporations, universities, schools have their own private traditions.

Also we know the British as the lovers of animals and nature. They are especially preoccupied with their houses. As the proverb says, “An Englishman's home is his castle”. Gardening is still one of the most popular hobbies in the country.

However, the British are not one nationality but four, who all see each other differently. The Welsh are considered to be a much more talkative group. And indeed Wales has trade union leaders, particularly in the 19th century. In contrast, the Scots are seen as more serious.

But today Britain is a multicultural society because of the large scale immigration to Britain. In spite of different accents, cultural backgrounds and different views, they are still all part of an island race, whose culture and customs are mixed so well together that they produce a British identity.

As for the Americans, I can say that they have many things in common. For example, the majority of them speak English, and people throughout the country dress similarly and eat many of the same kinds of foods.

But large numbers of its people have retained features of the cultures of their ancestors. belarus american national cultural

Many Americans take special pride in their origins. They preserve traditions - and, in some cases, the languages of their ancestors. In many cities, people of different national or ethnic origins live in separate neighbourhoods, and shops and restaurants reflects their cultures heritages.

Different nations characterize Americans differently, for example in Europe & especially England people say: "Americans are stupid and they are fat and bad dressers." In Ethiopia people say that the Americans are very explicit. In Kenyan people say: "Americans are distant. They are not really close to other people - even other Americans."

So, I don't know which Americans really are, but I think that they are smart and successful, because not in vain their state takes a leading position in the world in many ways.
