Europe

Education in Europe (typically Western Europe) is much better and more successful than in the US. These countries have typically the best educational rankings in the world with the highest test scores among students. Students are typically taught the same basic ideas and generally around the same age, but some things might be more emphasized than others. For example, let's talk about students learning about World War I. In the US, students learn more about the US, their involvement, and their success. However, in a country such as Germany, students are taught about their involvement and their failure (obviously), however, this failure is toned down dramatically than compared to in the US. History is typically the most differentiated subject taught worldwide as there are many different opinions or ideas taught or emphasized.

Great Britain was the only country resisting Hitler in the summer of 1940 in Western Europe.

It depends. If you're one of those travelers/backpackers who visit 20 countries just because, then yes. I am never reallyimpressed to those who travel and travel and travel yet have nothing to give. It seems selfish to be honest. I say quality over quantity in this situation. It's not about how many places you visited, but the connections, the new friends and experiences that you remember that counts. Europe is very popular place for travelers/tourists/backpackers (whatever you want to call them) and it's easy to be caught up in the moment; those who constantly travel just for the sake of traveling usually look down on those who live a "normal" life (read: 9-5 job, kids, spouse, actually owns a bed) and to be honest, in my honest opinion, are the real everyday heroes that I would rather spend my time with than a 20-35ish slacker who has "seen" the world. But that's just me. I say travel to Europe and while there: have a blast; venture on the less traveled path; keep a journal and take many pictures (you may get high at one time and not remember, haha); and when you return home, appreciate the people you're with. Not a lot of people can travel extensively, so soak whatever country(ies) you in, for whatever duration, and return home (if ever) and share the "wisdom" you gained to the people that need you the most, so they too can travel and experience the world.

You can see all sorts of things in Europe. You can see rivers, mountains, trees, lakes, seas and other geographical features. You can see all sorts of buildings and structures, many being very famous like the Eiffel Tower. You can see people, animals, bird, insects. Basically, you can see almost anything in Europe, so there is far too much to mention.

The Middlesborough Transporter Bridge was designed by the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co.

The continents themselves are not "receiving" new countries unless new countries are declared on them. The most recent country to become part of Europe was Kosovo because it declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and was located in Europe both prior and after this declaration. There is currently no area in Europe that is actively seeking independence in Europe that will be recognized by a large number of countries. Regions like Chechnya, Abkhazia, Transdniestria, South Ossetia, Carpathian Ruthenia, and other regions trying to separate from existing European states have not had much success in getting recognition or in getting de jure independence.

If by "join Europe" this is a euphemism for "become a member of the European Union", the next member will be Croatia, which will become an EU member-state on July 1, 2013.

The countries of Western Europe are the "hub" of European economics. These countries economies are based on industry, although agriculture will always be an important part. Some examples of industry are Germany's high value cars, Switzerland's watch industry and high-tech instruments, France's high speed trains, and space products.

No body 'governs' Europe at all. It is a continent made up of many different countries.

What effect is creation of a single market and a single currency within the EU likely to have on competition within the EU? Why?

The EU with its 500 million consumers has swept away huge numbers of barriers to trade and not least regulatory differences between different countries to bring out common procedures, standards and rules. As a single market and single currency area the degree of competition has become extremely high. The factors that caused this high competition shall be analyzed in the following paragraphs.

A first effect of a single market on competition within the EU is an increase in competition between companies from the EU countries. Trade barriers are swept away which makes it easy for companies to get involved in cross-border trade and extend the number of markets they serve without spending a lot of extra money. This should help to contain inflation and will therefore be beneficial to consumers.

Another effect that a single currency combined with a single market within the EU have on competition is the price transparency across the eurozone. Prices in different countries can be compared easily due to the common currency. The highly developed telecommunication system further boosts the opportunities to compare prices. Obviously, consumers as well as professional purchasers will not pay a higher price at home when they can obtain the same products more cheaply in a neighbouring market. This limits the producers' opportunities to differentiate prices by market and thereby increases price competition and overall competition.

In this context I want to mention eCommerce which also has a significant influence on competition within the EU. It is contributing to competition in two ways:

1) the internet offers highly efficient means of reducing search costs which include the time and effort that it takes to find goods or services of the right price-quality combination

2) eCommerce lowers market entry barriers as it provides the means for...

I teach in Australia, and most of my students are from Asia. They call themselves, 'Asians' and everyone else they call 'Westerners'. Seems there are only two races in the world!

Perhaps the first overthrowing of a monarch was in England. Charles I of England was beheaded by his own people during the English Civil War.

The division of Eastern and Western Europe has not disappeared and is still present for geographical and political reasons. I assume you're referring to the Iron Curtain, which divided the democratic Western Europe from the communist Eastern Europe. This dissolved in the late 1980s/early 1990s, during the fall of communism. However, the Iron Curtain borders are still typically used to differentiate between Eastern and Western Europe.
