Europe is ruled by two prominent royal families.
In England, the House of Windsor is headed by Queen
Elizabeth II. Her coronation in 1953 was hailed as
the birth of a new Elizabethan age. In the
Netherlands, the House of Orange is headed by Queen
Juliana. The Netherlerlands has been ruled by the
House of Orange almost without interruptions for 400
years.

Eastern and Western thought are two essential
differences. One difference is the attitudes toward
man. In the Orient a superior position in nature is
not enjoyed by man. The other difference is

are valued in the West, while group cooperation in
government is valued in the
East.
