Causative-Passive form is the form in which you use to show that someone is making you do something and you do not like it, or just have a negative feeling towards the outcome. ~させられる。
て-form + も is used like たら. However, たら is If A then B, where ても is Even if A then B. Basically stating against the odds or even if you'd think otherwise then B.
Short Form + ことにする is when a decision is made about an idea, whether it is decided to do something or not to do something. Likewise, ~ことにしている means that you've decided to something regularly as a practice, or become more aware of it.
Japan and U.S.A. cultural differences
According to the reading we did in class on review of Kanji different expressions are read differently in other countries. Slight differences in the way a face looked were read as angry for US Americans and sadness for Japanese people. There are other differences in things like this too, in the USA there are inappropriate words just based on context even though they might not be directed at anyone that could get offended by it. Japan does not have words like this, but there are still words, related to a persons body, that are inappropriate to mention in public. As far as the internet goes. Japanese people use more elaborate ways to show emotion in what they say while US Americans seem to do it by showing small and quickly communicated ideas such as laughter or happiness. I believe this is because the Japanese language does not have as wide of a range in tone and emotion is usually conveyed in what someone says and not how they say it, but there are many exceptions.
