Living Standards
it's a long process to catch up with other EU counties
wide gap between the rich and the poor
HU is heavily indebted -> inflation
foreign businesses leaving -> unemployment
our way of thinking needs to change (complaining, no action, living in the past, envying the success of others)
discrimination (disabled people, religious groups, gender-based, ethnicity)
Political System
the branches of government: legislative, executive, judicial
Hungary
unicameral system
bill -> President (sign/veto)
Britain
House of Commons + House of Lords

US
House of Representatives + Senate = Congress
bill -> President
Terrorism
intimidating the public with bombings, assassinations, etc.
suicide terrosism, biological warfare

against bearing guns (increasing crime rate)
