This is a mindmap created to present ten facts about High Income Countries (HIC) and Low Income Countries (LIC). I also included a section that gives my opinion as to why a system that could categorize countries into certain and specific labels could not work. Thank You for taking the time to view my work.
1. 7 in 10 deaths come from HIC, most of
these people die from chronic illnesses (heart
disease)
2. In 2013, the World Bank classified HIC's as countries
whose people earned an average of US$ 12,746 per year
3. As of 2012, statistics say that HIC's are most susceptible
to Heart Disease, Stroke and Lung cancer
4. In January 2013, According to Population Reference Bureau (PRB) Americans
generally die sooner and in worse ways than other High Income Countries
5.
NORWAY!!!
Norway is the second in the Top 10 First World
Countries in terms of their Gross National Income!
Norway is Top 1 country in terms of
Human Development
Norway shares #1 with Denmark, FInland, Iceland, Ireland,
Netherlands and Switzerland in terms of their Freedom of Speech
LIC
1. The most number of Non-Communicable deaths come from LIC's
2. Due to the low income, LIC's have the
highest death statistics due to child birth
3. During 2012, 6.6 million children died under the
age of 15. 99% of these children came from LIC's
4. According to the WHO website the top 3 causes of death in Low Income
Countries are : Respiratory Infections, HIV/AIDs and Diarrhea
5. In 2011, 165 children under the age of 5 around the world were
stunted. This was caused by chronic malnutrition.
Why a system would never work
Economical Standing
Not all people earn the same
Some people never say how much they earn
Some people don't earn legally or they earn in other forms of currency
Appearances can fool the system.
Life Achievements
Many people have different backgrounds
Many people also have different opportunities
A system would never work because there really is no ways to classify
someones social status, economical stature or their achievements in life
based upon a chart or a meter that will truly give proper results
Social Status
Jobs can be different so the social status can also be diffrent
Personalities can make influence the way people categorize a country
Britain => Prince William and Kate => HIC
Philippines => Manny Paqiao (not so famous) => LIC
