What We Did In Class Today Monday November 22, 2010

Today in class we started a new unit about India. We read an article that compared India and China and gave a lot of interesting facts.  Here are some notes that I took: 

Population billionaire…….India…..  1.21 billion people in India

40% of the world's people live in either China and India

Life expectancy in China is 73 - 64

Life expectancy in India is 34 - 25

There are a lot more boys/men in China than girls

Men are treated better in China than girls

In China abortions are prohibited, but they still happen

By the year 2020, it is estimated that China's boy population will be significantly higher than the girl population

By the year 2028, India will probably become the most populated country in the world

China and India are both very populated countries
