I have been privileged to have lived in both Palestine and the United States. I found the culture of both countries to be fascinated cultural. From my observation, I would say there are a huge difference between Palestine and the United States of America in many aspect. Palestine has been through many tragedies in the past several years. The 1948 war between Palestine and Israel had had a huge impact on Palestine. Palestine is located in south west Asia and in the heart of the middle east. To its north is Syria and Lebanon, to its south the Gulf of Aqaba and the Sinai Peninsula, and on its east is Jordan. The United States is located in North America, bordering both the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean, between Canada and Mexico. Both countries have are big, Palestine covers an area of 27.000 square kilometers. While the United States covers an area At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2). Culture difference between Palestine and the United States are easily seen in their holidays, foods, and customs.
The holiday in Palestine and United States have many difference. For example, Muslim festival in Palestine are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and normal business patterns may be interrupted. Some disruption may continue into Eid al-Fitr itself. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha may last up to several days, depending on the region. Furthermore in the United State everyone spends the December holidays doing special things celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ . Decorating houses and yards with lights, putting up Christmas trees, giving gifts, and sending greeting cards. Christmas Day is a holiday held on December 25.
