Australia is a country, and at the same time a continent that is surrounded by both the Indian and pacific oceans. The majority of immigrant came from Europe up to 1970. Of recent, the country continues to receive to receive many immigrants from countries like Asia. The country is very friendly and receives everyone from all over the world and does not discriminate on cultural, religious or racial ground. The Australian population is projected to be 24,387,795 people. The size of Australia is estimated to be 7,682,300 sq miles (Connell, 2016)

Part 2: Culture including Religion

China

It is believed that ancient Chinese culture was rich in arts and science painting and pottery. The advent of western civilization was later adopted during the 19th century and the present culture is a mixture of western lifestyle and old tradition. China is composed of 56 ethnic groups, Han Chinese accounting for 91.59%. The most spoken language as I have heard is Chinese language which has different phonological and grammatical. The main religions in china are the Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The official language of education is mandarin. The education system involves 6 years in primary, there years in junior then three years in high school. Am well conversant with English and I believe communicating with the locals will be a problem (Thorpe, 2016).

United States

Most of my friend who have been in the US told me culture of the United States is primarily western but influenced Native Americans, African Americans and Latin American cultures. The united states seem not to like the Muslims and I suspect dominating religion in unites states is protestants followed and Roman Catholic. It is rumored that Americans are social people and greetings are casual whereby a handshake and a hello are all that is required. Our country is dominated with western civilization and it is believed that US is also western influenced, the Schooling may be the same as ours staring with primary school followed by junior school and finished in high school. It is also said that most of Americans speak English hence I wont have any problem in doing business with them (Triandis, 2016).

India

Hinduism is a religion that is even found in our country, I suspect this to be the dominant religion in India. The few Indians that are found in our country always speak Hindi and this may be their official. Looking at the kind of foods this people prepare when you visiting some of their restaurant. Indian food cuisine is somehow complex as they use a variety of ingredients and use a wide range of food preparation. Most of the Indian school in my country have a different education system with four levels; lower primary upper primary, high primary and higher primary. This is the might be the same system in India. Indians may take me as an outsider and may prefer doing business with their fellow Indians when I reach there (Connell, 2016).

Australia

The culture of Australia is the western culture with no official language with English being the national language but the language is different from both American due to ancient accent. The country is known in rearing sheeps country and I think it has large access to quality meet barbecue beef. Australia has no official state religion but Christianity dominates in the county. Some of my friend who has been there before told me Australia dont have servant and domestic duties are shared with both men and women. The education system follows has three levels; primary, followed by secondary and then tertiary education with primary education being compulsory. I will experience some culture shock as most Australian as I hear have stuck to their culture (Norris et al. 2016).

Japan

Most of Japanese in our country struggle to speak English as they are used to Japanese and this may be their official language. Looking some of the Japanese artifacts in movies, Painting, calligraphy and sculpture may be being done Japanese. Visiting the Japanese restaurant you do find meals tempura, sushi, noodles and teriyaki hence I suspect this are their major meals. Japaneses is regarded as one of the hardworking society with fewer hours for leisure but do look for entertainment only when they can. Shinto is the dominant religion in Japan. The basic school system in Japan comprises of elementary school which lasts for six years and the university (4 years).as most of the Chinese do not know English, I will find it hard while doing businesses with them (Froese, 2016)

Part 3: Politics and Legal systems:

Japan

Japan is a democratic country that is headed by the prime minister who is the head of government while the Emperor acts as a ceremonial head of state. Japan have three type of election in their political system; the general elections to the House of Representatives that are held after four years. The other types of elections are local election after four years and election to the house of councilors held after three years. Every person in Japan is entitled to vote as long as he/she is a registered voter. The judiciary works as an independent body but and some of the laws are passed in the legislature (Brown, 2016).

The United States

The united state of America is a democratic country headed by the president who is elected after four years. The political system is dominated by two major parties, the republican and democrats. The federal government is made up of three different branches namely the legislature, judiciary and the executives. The principal characteristic of the judicial system of the United States is that plays a specific role under the separation of power between the arms of government. The judiciary is mandated with interpretation and applying of the law after they have been passed by the legislature (McGee, 2016)

China

China is one of the communist nations that are led by a single party (Communist Party of China). The country is led by the president and the vice president both elected after five years by the national people congress. The constitution gives NPC the power to amend the constitutions and elect and impeach top officials. The Chinese citizen does not participate in general elections and thus has as the members as top officials both at local and national levels o of communist party elect the president. The communist party of china in relationship with the legislature is mandated with enacting basis laws, and amending of the constitution (Wong, 2016).

India

India is a democratic country with a parliamentary system of government. The union government of India is divided into three major sections; the executive legislature and the judiciary. The Indian government has the president and the prime minister. The prime minister is the head of executive branch of the government and chief advisor to the president while the executive power is vested in the Indian president. The general elections are held after five years and every registered citizen is entitled to vote. In India the legislature assumes a significant role as the executive is also part of the legislature. It exists as a result of the legislature and is responsible to it though it carriers its duties independently (Borooah, 2016).

Australia.

The political system of Australia is somehow democratic and up to certain extends not. The government of Australia is divided in three major sections, the executive, judiciary and the legislature. The elections are held at least once in every three years. The governor general can be called upon by the prime minister to cal for an election in the House of Representatives any particular time. It is a must for any eligible voter to vote during the Election Day or else he/ she will face a penalty. The judiciary has powers over the laws passed by the legislature and interprets the constitution of Australia Under section 71 of the Australian constitution.
