You only probably celebrate this December time with caroling kids to decorating your Christmas tree. We all love Christmas and its holiday cheer. But today I want to talk about a place that holds many great traditions, the country we all cognize and love...France. You may have heard of France because of ts very famous city called Paris. French citizens excessively celebrate Christmas but they also celebrate traditions and celebrations that are very distinguishable from how we usually preform occasions here. France is located above Spain, below the United Kingdom, and to the right of the Atlantic Ocean. In France, I would say that the biggest celebrated tradition is cognize as le reveillon the holiday with a feast fit for ten kings. Aside from the holidays and stuff, lets talk about Frances goverment. Frances type of goverment is a semi-presidental system. Do you have a religion? Well here is some of the religions practiced in France. Some of Frances major religions are Cathol icism, Islam, and Judasim. French people also have a antithetical language than we do. French is an italic language descended from the spoken Latin language of the Roman Empire. We will get into all this later. So sit back and unbend and listen to a more about Frances points of goverment, language, religion and stuff like that. France has a very different overall perspective than the United States. So at present lets go into detail about Frances goverment. Like I said Frances goverment is a semi-presidential system. Semi-presidential system is defined as a powerful president when there is a unified majority. The Prime Minister becomes secondary to the President in all legislative and diplomatic areas. If a President is weakened by having two contend parties, presidental an... ...is also shares similar attributes. They elect a President by popular vote just like we do. But it seems to me that the Prime Minister has more control. We also have more religions than France does. T he United States as I see it is more diverse, the freedom in our country is unmatched by any other. We have Catholicism, Judasim, Baptist, Muslim, Protestant, Methodist, Pentacostal, Non-Denominational, Buddahism, Scientology, Hinduism, etcetera Proving that we accept all religious freedoms throughout our country. We may not all agree but atleast the freedom is there. Also I have learned alot on the other traditions and pratices in France. Like the french Ballet, it is the dance always associated with France when it did not begin with french origins. I would have to conclude in saying that I would love to visit France and see for myself what I have only read about.
