In this article it says that the more aid Africa recieves the lower the standard of living is. Also the standard of living has been declining between the years of 1975 and 2000 says this article. The aid for reform is not very successful either. America is not doing the right thing by aiding Africa all the time which is very sad. You would think aiding Africa would be helping them but it is not. In the article David Karanja says, "Foreign aid has done more harm to Africa than we care to admit" Even though this article is from 2005 I believe this still is going on today. I found an article about Western countries giving aid to Africa which supports my statement from above. Here is the link, because it is hard to explain it. http://xrl.us/bemx42
This map shows the HDI for each country but what I mostly would like you to look at is Africa. Each country in Africa and its rating. The foreign coloninal control might have something to do with why Sub-Saharan Africa is so low but there are a few other reasons why it HDI is so low. Government problems are a good reason for their Human Developement to be low. There are 3 categories HDI is put into; High, Medium and Low Human Development. There are sub catergories that each country has to determine their HDI; the HDI value, Life expectancy at birth, Combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratio, and GDP per capita.Certain percentages give a country the rank in the world. For example, Japan's HDI value is .956 which puts them in rank 8th and Kenya is .532 which puts them in rank 144.
This picture is of the Mount Rainer Mountains in the state of Washington. In the description below the picture it was said to be that the clouds are formed by high winds blowing over rough terrain. They are described to be "stack of pancakes". I picked this picture for a few reasons. One: I love scenery pictures and as a photographer myself, I love this picture. Two: There is just something about cloud pictures I love. My dad and I love taking pictures of clouds and comparing each photo we take with each other, so I guess I cherish that bonding time. Three: This picture was taken in Washington and someone that I really care about used to live there. Those are the reasons why I choose to pick this beautiful picture! :) 
Because I love photographer so much...I thought why not add another picture. I figured my grade could not be deducted because I decided to add another picture. This picture was taken in Ontario, Canada. The river shown is Winisk River. The description under the picture was deep. This is what it says, "A single cloud may hold billions of pounds of water but not all clouds bring rain".I picked this photo because of the reflection you see from the sunset, trees and clouds! This picture could mean alot of things. I think in the canoe are a girl and a guy, so you could call this picture romantic. Also, this picture can show God's creation, even more in a reflection.
http://xrl.us/beg6rvThe title of the article I found is : Brazil’s Jobless Rate Jumps the Most in Seven Years
This article explains how unemployment rate in Brazil jumped the most in seven years. In January unemployment was 8.2 percent and December it was 6.8 percent. I thought this article was interesting because not only is unemployment just affecting Latin America, it is also affecting the Unites States. I would be interested to see the perfect of unemployment of the U.S., compared to Latin America. Also, maybe just compared several states to Brazil.
The article says that it will be getting worse though. Also, the article said that the government is providing money to build homes so that construction workers can work.
TOTAL CHILDRENI picked total children because I like kids. They are so many children in different places that I didn't know. Children make up a third of the population. Africa has the highest percentage of children.
Central Africa is the most of the children population under 15 years of age. North America is the 3rd lowest population of children.
I picked Afghanistan and New Zealand because they have several differences in their population. New Zealand has a variety of people and cultures living there. As for Afghanistan, their people and culture consists of very few. Afghanistan is LDC because it is one of the most poorest countries in the world. Also, because of years of neglect and conflict, that has impacted its development as a country and its people. Life expectany is around 46-50. New Zealand is MDC because it is a well developed country and just look at the population! There is about 50 thousands 0 years of age to 80. Looking at Afghanistan the populatoin doesn't increase, it just decreases. If you look at New Zealand's population at 45-50 it is about 140 thousand! New Zealands population increases because of its good environment and culture.
