Gapminder Analysis

Analysis:
Part 1:
A. The first development indicator I chose was income per person. This means the amount of money that is being earned by each person. The second one I chose is poverty. Poverty is defined as the state of being really poor. My 3rd choice is life expectancy. This describes the average period that a person may expect to live. My final choice is aid received per person. This means help that each person receives.
B. Income per person affects economic development in many ways. First your income determines how developed you are, and if you add everyone's income in a country then you will see how much that country is developed. Also, if people are making more money than they will buy more things that later lead to development. Poverty is related to development because if people are in poverty than they don't have jobs. Jobs are part of development and if fewer people have jobs, than the country will be less developed than other countries. Life expectancy is another factor that determines how developed a country is. If your country has a higher life expectancy than its going to be more developed than a country with a low life expectancy. Last is aid received per person. If people are receiving aid then it could help the country. Receiving aid could also lower health problems because they are receiving help for it. All of these factors are related to economic development in some way.
Part 2:
A. The countries in Africa all have low life expectancies and they all receive a lot of aid. In East Asia, they also receive a lot of aid but the life expectancy there is really high. Poverty is a big issue in Africa, but it barely affects Europe and central Asia. Income per person is similar to poverty. Income is really high in Europe and central Asia, and this time it also includes parts of South America. Income per person is the lowest in many different countries in Africa.
B. The reason for low life expectancies, lots of aid, poverty issues, and low income per person in Africa is a result of many things. The first is disease. Disease is a big issue in Africa and because of it countries in Africa typically have low life expectancies. Because of Africa being the place that's most in need for materials, Africa receives the most aid. Poverty issues there are a cause of the lack of jobs and the result of few jobs is low income per person. East Asia is another place that still needs a little help, and because of that they also receive aid. Life expectancy is high in East Asia because of how developed they are. In Europe and central Asia, poverty barely happens here. Also, income per person is high due to the many jobs there are. South America also has a high income per person because of the type of jobs there.

GIS Analysis
Paragraph 1:
Where are they? I created new boundaries by merging two countries and by splitting a country up. The country that I split up is United States which is located in North America. I split the United States into two pieces. It's split up by on part being in the West and on part in the East. The United States is now two new countries, East and West instead of being one whole country all together. The two countries that I merged were Canada and the United States. This new country is located in North America.
Paragraph 2:
WHY are they there? The two countries within United States are now there for many reasons. The new countries in the former United States will take away many problems that the United States had before. There won't be as much fighting and the government systems would be way better. There was too much difference in the different sides of the United States and now that there apart, the two new countries will run better than before when they were together. There's also many reasons why Canada and United States should be merged. First of all, the economy would be better and larger than before. By merging them there will be more job opportunities and there will be more resources available. If the two countries merge and the United States splits into two, there will be a huge outcome that will be good for the countries.
Paragraph 3:
Why are they THERE? The new boundaries in the United States are there because if the United States split in half, that is where they would divide into two new countries. West and East have the most conflict and that is why the new boundaries split the United States into two (West and East). The Canada and United States is there because the two countries merged into one.
Paragraph 4:
What difference will it make? By splitting up the United States into two new countries, there won't be as much fighting between states in the new countries. It will have a big impact on each individual state. By splitting up United States its making a difference in good and bad ways. By merging Canada and United States into one country, this new county will be almost perfect and it would be very good for the two countries. It will have a big difference from before, but it would be a better difference. If the two countries merge their economy would be way better than it was before.

Census Data Mapper Map & Analysis-October 2013

Paragraph 1-
I'm observing what places have the most percentage of females populated in the United States. There is a high percentage of females located in the south of the U.S. In the Midwest it is in between lots of females and few females. In the mountain states and a little part of the Midwest there is a low percentage of females there. In the south there is a cluster of females in the states Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Paragraph 2-
Why are some regions more populated with females then in the other ones? Each region is different from their culture to who lives there and many other factors. In the Midwest where there is about 49-51% of females living there the living conditions aren't great but they are stable. Women are able to get jobs and work and females aren't treated differently then men. Females have rights here and they are able to go to school and get an education too. In the mountain states where there is a low percentage of females, there is probably not the best living conditions. Females might not have a good chance at getting an education. The South were most of the female percentage is clustered is because of many reasons. Many people are clustered there because its a better living environment there, jobs for women, good education, women have rights, and better location.
Paragraph 3-
What difference does it make if some places have high female percentages and other have low? It could affect people if they are all clustered in on place, which is happening in the south. It could affect the United States because females aren't evenly distributed across the country. If there is too many people in one region then that region could run out of or not have enough of resources or food. Also if there is a region with a low percentage of females then that can be a problem cause that regions population might never grow. It would be better if females were evenly distributed across the United States.
