History Assignment

In my own mind, I think that there maybe many differences between the 13 colonies and Hong Kong because I have a opinion that different people in different places will have different thinkings. so the two places will have different society system. But, it may also have some similarities too.

First, talk about some similarities I discovered. It is that both the 13 colonies and Hong Kong had been ruled by the Britain too. I think ruling by others were even worse than the Japanese. The Japanese killed some of the Chinese, but the British tried to took away our things, our properties, it's just like a robber behavior. That is our land. They had their own land, we had our own land too, how can they get our land? That's surely a kind of impolite.

And the even worst thing, the British enforced a curfew to Chinese. Only Chinese, but not others, but not the 13 colonies when they were dominated them. That's the most horrible thing I've ever heard. If I was enforced to be curfew, well, I may just want to jump off from the building and go to die. I believed that many of the Chinese may be disagree with this like me, too. Going outside is my freedom. Why should I listen to this rubbish rule? That's nonsense.

Secondly, talk about the government structure between the 13 colonies and Hong Kong. After the 13 colonies won The American Revolution, they had their own republic. It's the United States. They had their own government. And when the British is ruling Hong Kong in the early 1840s, they had set up the government too. This is the other similarities, so there is also some other differences too.

The names of the department of Hong Kong and the 13 colonies(United States) are a lot different from each other. For example, the legislature of the 13 colonies, is called "Congress", and for Hong Kong, the legislature is called The Legislative Council. And the names of the positions are different too. The head of the government in Hong Kong was called the Governor, and in the 13 colonies, the head is called the President.

And both system of United States (13 colonies) and Hong Kong is still working nowadays, but maybe some of the system changed a little bit after so many decades. This is also a similarities, isn't it?
