One of the differences is their natural resources. Canada’s natural resources are limited due to its subarctic climate. Canada’s natural resources are wood, fish, and minerals. The United States’ natural resources are cotton, coal, iron, and natural gas. Their natural resources are very different.

Cite , Cite every claim The goal of educating women was to “create mothers who would produce the best hoplites and mothers of hoplites...” (Pomeroy 4) . Even though their education system was not exactly built on equality as child bearing was still an important role for women, the Spartan women were at least given an education unlike the women of Athens.
Additionally, females were not properly educated compared to males. They were taught the basic essentials such as math, reading and writing.
