Demographic Research and Analysis
Earlier in this module, you used the CIA's World Factbook to research the population characteristics of four different countries. For this assignment, you will continue your investigation by researching and analyzing the demographic data of four different nations from around the world. First, select one country from each of the following regions:
- Africa
- Asia
- Europe
- North or South America
Analysis
Once you gather the information, use the demographic data to respond to all of the following prompts. Answer each question in three-to-five sentences.
- Which one of your researched countries would you consider the most culturally diverse? What reasons would you give to support this?
- If one of your selected countries is currently involved in a territory/boundary dispute, briefly describe the conflict. If not, describe one international organization of which one of your countries is a member.
- Which of the four countries has the largest population? Do you think this number will change significantly in the next twenty-five years? Why?
