Write a paper exploring the above-listed websites and comparing characteristics of world nationsStage 1: The CIA World Report website, other resources and the overall assignment will be reviewed. Questions will be answered regarding the assignment.
Stage 2: Students are instructed to watch the YouTube video which describes how to effectively navigate the CIA’s World Report website. You will then select one developing nation and a developed nation in order to contrast specific characteristics with the United States. Since students may have difficulty deciding which are developed nations and which are developing ones, you can go the website of the Population Reference Bureau which lists the average per capita income (GNI PPP) for all world nations in American dollars. To assist in making your selection, consider countries with a GNI of less than $7,000 as developing and over $25,000 as developed. You can also view the World Bank website which lists the richest and poorest nations in the world. Another way of thinking about this is to consider countries that are “well off” compared to those that are relatively poor. Consider this as a continuum with very rich such as the United States and Japan on one end and Afghanistan and Botswana on the other, with many, many nations in the middle. You will then make your selection of a developed nation and a developing nation to contrast with the United States. Now you will create a table for the 3 countries listing the demographic characteristics indicated in Stage 3.
