Global Trends Quiz

I did fairly well on the quiz. I appreciated  that the quiz was related to  Americans and statistical information about the developing world. I enjoyed that we learned about some United State statistics, along with a more global understanding of the developing world and environmental challenge that affects every individual.I learned that the life expectancy was very high in Japan of 84 years, where as Kenya a women’s life expectancy is 46. In addition, I was surprised that for a baby born in India, in 1881, the life expectancy was mere 25 years, but today it is 60 years. I still think that 60 years is very low life expectancy for individuals in India. I was also really surprised by the number of women 527,000 who died because of pregnancy and childbirth in developing world like Africa and Asia. I think that this is a serious issue.I think that there needs to be more education for developing worlds like contraceptives information, and how to take care of women who are baring children and what can be done to extend their lives.  More than a quarter of the world’s population(1.6 billon) are under the age 15. These children are living in a less developed country with a low life expectancy. Overall, I thought the quiz was very informative for any individual to learn more about developing countries .
