Gap minder screencast

1.) Ratio of girls to boys in primary and secondary (Schooling) - income per person.

Explanation - In video one the comparison is between the ratio of boy and girls going to primary and secondary schools, to income per person. This shows us with more children going to school and getting an education, the country as a whole drives to maturity and starts having high income jobs. In development this shows that the country is exiting the the grid stage of Rostow"s five step model. In countries that have had infrastructure are now shifting to tertiary jobs. We can follow the main countries that go through this quickest are the ones with heavy export in ability, had cheap labor, and a giant workforce. For example China would be perfect. Large workforce, cheap labor, and most importantly it has a major and easy to access port.

2.) Children per woman - co2 emissions (per person in tones)

Explanation - In video two, the two variables were, Children per woman  (total fertility), and co2 emissions (per person in tones). Throughout the video the countries go on a very linear line. With exception of world war 2, most of the countries dropped in births, and with that the effect was more wealth because elf less economic burden. This lead to the ability to buy cars, access to planes, and ocean liners. The reason fertility goes down is that that children become economic burdens, and with the increase of jobs that require driving distances, they cannot afford to have gas bills, and feed the children.

Where is it, Argentina and, Chile. South America, bordering both the Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. China, south west region, right of above Nepal, and the Bhutan. This region is Tibet. Land locked, and is very vast, sparsely populated.

Why is it there, Chile and Argentina both speak the same language, have the same history, and both were under the Inca rule. Both were colonized by the spanish. Tibet was conquered during the time era of B.C. People. Tibet don’t just have a different culture than that of the main Chinese public but different ways of life, and language. Also the people of Tibet revolted and had protests, not just the adults but also the kids, saying in their native tongue of Tongren, “equality of culture.” trying to stop the Chinese government from teaching kids Mandarin Chinese.

 What difference does this make, this would create a superior and stronger country in the world, and one of the best in south America. Could spark country that speak and have same cultural histories to become one countries making a better and economically stable world. Tibet succeeding from china, would weaken it’s economical power, but Tibet would be allowed to have there own culture, and live the way they want to live their live.


Why are they there, chile and Argentina are both coastal states. They have only a mountain range separating them from each other. Tibet and China, Tibet is basically an entire mountain range except for some few regions where it’s extremely hilly. Also Tibet is borddering napal, Bhutan, and many other countries, if this was a military campaign I wold want Tibet for ease of units to get transported from the main whole of china to separating countries.
