America and Ukraine are two great countries with rich history, however their social values are very different. The first difference which people notice from the first sight is the way people dress. Americans are very liberal about their clothes, they can go to breakfast wearing pajamas and feel comfortable in it, while in Ukraine it would be considered rude. Ukrainians always dress up no matter where they go- gym, lunch or theater, they always have to look good to impress others, while comfort is a priority for Americans. The second difference is shown in guys’ manners. In America, women want the equality that is why they don’t expect men to treat them like a “weak gender”, however because of it, guys in America seem to forget how men should behave. In Ukraine men seem more polite, they always open doors in cars for women, let them sit if there’s no place to sit, take off women's jackets when they get inside the restaurant and many other things. The last difference is in people’s relationship towards each other. In America everybody is going to be nice and friendly to you, therefore it is hard to say who is your real friend and who is fake. In Ukraine, if people don’t like you, they will not pretend that they do. In Ukraine there is no such thing as fake relationships between people, therefore there’s no that much gossips behind your back. These countries have a huge contrast between each other, however it doesn’t mean that one is good/right and one is bad/wrong, it just means that people in those countries have different values and priorities.
