After the Cold War ended, Europe began to discuss a policy that would unite all of Europe on an economic and cultural basis to increase productivity and an overall better life for their citizens. While in the beginning the motions for European unity were met with little…

Germany: A Land of Tradition and Contrasts Organization and discipline are evident in everyday life for Germans. Public transportation operates like clockwork; traffic lights are synchronized, even retail stores are subject to Ladenschlussgesetz (store-closing law) (Somers 20).
