Assignment #23: Canada and China

Canada and China

Religion:

Canada - Roman Catholic 42.6%, Protestant 23.3% (including United Church 9.5%, Anglican 6.8%, Baptist 2.4%, Lutheran 2%), other Christian 4.4%, Muslim 1.9%, other and unspecified 11.8%, none 16% (2001 census)
China - Daoist (Taoist), Buddhist, Christian 3%-4%, Muslim 1%-2%
note: officially atheist (2002 est.)
This means most of the old Christianity passed on through generation.



HIV/AIDS - deaths:


Canada - 
26,000 (2009 est.)
country comparison to the world: 14


China -
         fewer than 1,000 (2009 est.)
       country comparison to the world: 80


The reason China might have more deaths may be by its higher population.

Assignment #22 - Faces of the World

For information on this assignment visit here




Globalization


Part A: Globalization primarily means that the world is going through a process of integration among people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process involving trade, investments and technology.

"The Face of Tomorrow"


Part B: I think facial identities change over time by each race mixing in. Which would make the "Face of Tomorrow"


Part C:  What I noticed when I averaged all the faces is that all the faces lead up to a girl (since there were more girls in the site >>http://faceresearch.org/demos/average<<) and that  the most common skin tone was white (since it took place in the US).


Part D: I think this face best represents "the face of tomorrow" by mixing each race. But a bit more with the white and eastern races since there a more power and people, and more globalization and trade going among them.



Part E: Well me and my younger brothers face probably represents our nationality since I'm a bit mixed with white (England) and brown and my brother. But I more likely refer that my grandma is the face of my nationality because she a half white and brown but more white. While my mother is 1/3rd white and me 1/4th white.
