What's the difference between an American accent in a British accent?
Originally, both the British and Americans spoke with a rhotic accent. Rhotic essentially means an accent where the letter 'r' is pronounced strongly after a vowel. Rhotic accents are strong in both the US and Scotland, but seem to have disappeared from British English and its derivatives, such as Australian and New Zealand English.
The dominant American accent (the typical accent of the mid-western US) is rhotic, and British English is, as a rule, non-rhotic. Typically, US speakers pronounce every "r", wherever they appear in a word. Most British speakers (and you will note that there are some British Isle accents that are strongly rhotic, like US) do not pronounce every "r". Americans emphasise the "r" at the end of words such as "teacher" or "neighbour", but in many non-rhotic British accents it is more of a "schwa" (an unstressed, neutral, toneless vowel sound) so it comes out as "teacha" (unstressed) or "neighba".
This main difference also varies across the country of origin. For example, the US has a clear distinction in the accents between inhabitants of the north and south, not to mention less clearly defined differences across the states. Similarly, British people have a different accent according to their locality. The "cockney" accent is vastly different to the middle and upper class accents.
Another common difference appears to be that Americans pronounce words such as 'herbal' without the 'h'. Syllables may be stressed differently, too. "Oregano" in the US tends to be pronounced "o - reg - a - no" whereas in British English it is more likely to be "o - reg - AH - no".
What are the Similarities between behaviorism and gestalt psychology?
The behaviourist perspective focuses on the way objects or events in the environment (stimuli) come to control behaviour through learning.

What is the similarity between communism and Confucianism?
One similarity is that they are both egalitarian. Even though they are two totally different ways of thinking, they both promote equality among all people, except perhaps for different reasons. Communism uses egalitarianism as a way of achieving their ultimate goal of a communist government where no one can own their own land, have their own business, become rich or even become poor. This way, dictator Mao Zedong could gain power over China the way he wanted, not the way the people wanted. Egalitarianism in Confucianism has nothing to do with power or government. Confucius believes all people are equal. Simple as that.
There are probably many more similarities, I think they were both meritocracies as well but I'm not 100% sure on that.

What are the similarities between ethics and morality?
Your question has been answered many times, but as you ask "What are the similarities" and not "What is the difference" I will attempt to answer your question. First Ethics, these are ideas based on what you know to be right and wrong. Morality is based on the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong. Both are similar in meaning and so both could be used in a written sentence or by word of mouth. An example would be "You could hit me, but ethically you would be wrong in doing so, as I had not done anything to deserve your doing so". In the same sentence we replace ethically with the word morally.
