What is the difference between Africa and the US?

Answer 1

Africa is a continent that includes over 50 countries.

South Africa is a medium sized country on the continent of Africa.

Answer 2

The UK appears to be more of a "nanny state" than South Africa. While the crime rate in South Africa is much higher than in the UK, people in SA have more freedom to do their jobs. I spent 5 years in the UK, and from what I could gather people in careers such as the police force and teaching, were unable to properly perform their duties due to the risk of being brought to task by one or another community. Teachers in South Africa have the authority to enforce some form of discipline in their classrooms (not corporal punishment). While the police are given the space they need in which to enforce the law without worrying about who they will insult.

Respect still plays a big part of daily life in South Africa. Children respect their elders. While in the UK, children can tell whomever they like to f%$k off, (before throwing a brick at them and recording it on their mobiles) without any fear of reprisal.

Apart from that the obvious differences are of course geographical location, climate, currency and culture. Hope this answered your question.
