Choosing a Student Exchange Program to Come to the US

Student Exchange Program is a very good option for young people to travel abroad, to learn languages, try to live among people with other traditions and culture. They can develop communicating skills, become more independent, self-determined and responsible. Moreover, foreign students are always welcome and everyone can count on warm 'hello'.
But on the other hand, young people feel lonely in their new and strange home. Al of their friends and relatives are faraway and can cause some psychological problems, students can become unstable, nervous and stressed.
All in all, it is excellent to go to other places, meet with new people, but it also can be stressful, so the person must be prepared for such negative outcomes.

Virginia Tech: "As Strong a Place As It Has Always Been"

At Virginia university in April 16 of this year 23 years old man Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and later committed a suicide.
It is the bloodiest event in high school in the history of the USA. Millions of people all around the world were shocked and terrified to hear about it.

Often music and movies are being blaimed for such a destructive acts.Movies and music don't kill, guns do...

Employment Law Summary

Employment law began in the 19th century and is regulating relations between employers,employees and trade unions. All employment rights are guaranteed by the Employment Protection Act. In the most of the countries it is guaranteed that the worker will get a minimum wage, that they won't be dismissed unfairly. All workers have the same rights,despite sex,race,nationality or religion.
Moreover, workers have the right to make the strike,when the majority votes for it. Although, during such a period workers lose their money, in the future they can get better working conditions and bigger payments.
Because of the differences in culture and traditions,in Japan employess do not have the same rights as in the European countries. Women have less rights and options, when it comes to the choosing of job. Despite these facts, Japanese are certain that they won't be dismissed unfairly and women almost always return to their working places after the pregnancy period.
