Before I came to U.S.A. I was born and raised in Poland. I lived in a small town and the areas around were farms. Mostly, milking cow farms. Because most of the people started to live in the cities this part of Poland had the highest unemployment rate because a lot of people who had small farms couldn’t earn a decent living. Agriculture just didn’t cut it anymore. The small town, which I had lived in wasn’t thriving so my family came here to America. (This is kind of hard to explain because towns in Poland are very different than towns here).
The difference that I saw in the clip The Story of Stuff was that we didn’t cut our natural resources for example forests to a point were the are only handful of them left. Poland is greener but the most polluted part of Poland is in Southwest. The similarities that I saw were: people mostly men who worked in the factories and were exposed to the dust and smoke developed more of lung cancers.
The difference in consumption is now changing a great deal because the boarders are open and it is just a matter of short time when for example something like ipod will appear on the market and something like that is directed toward the younger consumers because the older generation is scared of the new ways and is more traditional for example my dad he never used a computer even though he has it right under his nose.Also, there is no difference in advertising the commercials are the same but spoken in Polish so everybody could understand (even tough most people in Poland know how to communicate effectively in English). Poland does not have a well-established recycling plan everything goes into one garbage disposal. But the good thing is that my country has more leisure time because everybody has 32 days in a year off without taking extra vacations.
