Average American Vs Average Indian- How Do They Compare?
What’s up guys?
USA is known as a developed country whereas India is still a developing one.
Do you know what makes an average American compare himself to an average Indian?
It is not merely a fact that in many things, India is also known for having people with
rising intellect.
And in many things, India is better than America.
But what makes USA to be more ahead of India?
Today, in this video, we are going to list some of the things which show how both sides
compete with each other in being the best.
Number 1: In Terms of Population: If we compare the population of both nations,
the estimated number of people living in the US is 326 million with life expectancy of
37.9 years per person.
India on the other hand, has the rising population of 1.4 billion which is the second largest
population in the world after China.
The average life span of a person in India is around 29 years.
Some say such large population is responsible for increasing crisis like poverty in India!
Number 2: In Terms of Height and weight: An average American man’s height is 5 Feet
9 inches and the height of women is about 5 feet 3 and a half inches.
When compared with India, the average height of Indian men is around 5 feet 5 inches and
for women is 5 feet.
The weight of an American is 178LB whereas the average Indian weighs 127 LB.
Whoa!
That’s quite a major difference!
Number 3: In Terms of Diet: Let’s take a look at how the diet of two
nations can be compared or whether it has any influence.
The Americans are known for their love towards fast food items such as Hamburgers, fried
chicken, French fries, pizza, hot dogs and more which have higher calorie count!
Whereas, Indians are known for their own love for vegetarian foods such as chickpea flatbreads,
yogurt, kidney beans, eating rice, and vegetables as their average meal!
These different food styles may become the difference between average weight between
the two nations.
But now, things are changing as such American fast foods are also available in India.
Number 4: In Terms of day-to-day Lifestyle: An average one bedroom apartment in India
can be rented at around $200.
While in America cities such as New York, an average apartment can be rented around
$1,200 which sounds expensive when compared to Indian lifestyle!
It has been calculated that the consumer prices in the United States are around 184 % higher
than in India!
Guess, the Americans prefer living more luxurious than an average Indian?
And the restaurant prices are around 290% higher in America than an average Indian restaurant
with 183% rise in grocery prices in the US.
This shows that Americans don’t like to live cheap!
In America, your life becomes very independent.
You get the essence of freedom the way you want to live.
However, in India, you are limited by the choices and are barred from doing certain
things that are set by their society and cultures.
Number 5: In Terms of Salary: The same thing goes for the salary too!
A skilled and professional person in India earns around $4,000 to $5,000 on monthly basis.
This could be a decent salary when you want to save more on living costs!
But when compared with America, an average person earns $6,000 to $7000 per month which
tells that not only are the living costs higher but the earnings are also higher.
So maybe it isn’t a bad idea to live in the US!
Number 6: In Terms of Education: India’s education has changed in 10 years
and now they have incorporating smart classes and e-learning methods in school curriculum.
The infrastructure has changed, there are better qualified teachers who provide better
content information.
Teachers are authorised to teach students after gaining a specific qualification in
bachelors or in master’s sections.
The size of an average class in India is around 50 students per teacher which makes it challenging
for the teacher to manage students as compared to American class size.
In American educational system, the state and school together plans for the child’s
growth and its development.
Americans have divided their academic divisions as a 4 or 5 stage level of education: Elementary
School, Middle School, High School and Post-Secondary or College.
It is mandatory for the teachers to have state certification and license to teach students
and the class sizes are around 20-30 students per teacher as compared to the Indian educational
criteria.
Number 7: In Terms of Comfort: In America, you get the uttermost level of
comfort as compared to India.
Americans use various means of stuff, for example, using air conditioners and have so
many choices around them.
For an average Indian, it can be difficult to afford an air conditioner which shows a
vast different between the two countries.
We are talking about an average American middle class vs average middle class Indian.
Number 8: In Terms of Enjoyment: An average American gets so many things to
do in US.
You are free to whatever you like without being judged by other people!
But an average Indian, due to social situations, unless your family carries the thinking of
being open minded, you might face problems of being criticized by them.
Number 9: In Terms of Cultures: Well, two different nations possible to have
two different cultures and traditions.
In India, people have diverse cultures which makes them quite different from the Americans.
India has its family values.
On the other hand in American culture, the people get prominent than their family values.
Indians are more committed towards their family whereas the Americans are more committed towards
themselves only.
Number 10: In terms of Traffic: Indian roads have lot of traffic as compared
to the American streets.
With more population in India, at some places, people hardly follow traffic rules.
But, in America, people follow traffic rules seriously which makes a huge difference.
People properly follow the lane system which is hardly seen in India.
So, that’s how we look at comparing life of an average Indian Vs American in terms
of their living and general lifestyle which has different benefits to both nations.
