Great Britain between Europe and America

Great Britain between Europe and America.

First stage 15-23 February

Today opposition and competition between Great Britain, Europe and America is the topic of interest. The whole world rivets attention on that how these countries upholding their interests.

As for me, this topic deserves much more public attention and in my research work I will try to develop a theme. I am planning to describe fairly the mood of the problem.

It is also a topical subject for me, because I am planning to enroll at a university to some other country and I have not decided where to, so my personal aim in this researching work is to help myself in choosing the most suitable country option.

Thinking about that makes me want to know more about their lifestyle and find more differences between Great Britain, USA and Europe.

In research work I shall get down to next problems:

1) Great Britain, Europe, America – race for power through the ages.

2) Great Britain, Europe, America – where to find best education?
