[Homework] Bits of knowledge 20110102
So, here we go, first axis(核心) is for health, life expectancy, from 25 years to 75 years, and down here, an axis for wealth, income person, 400, 4000, and 40,000 dollars, so down here is poor and sick, and up here, is rich and health.
Now, I am going to show you the world 200 years ago in 1810, here come over countries, Europe brown, Asia red, Middle-east green, Africa and south * blue, and the American's yellow, and the size of the countries pubble show the size of the population.
And in 1810, it was pretty crowded down here, wasn't it? All countries were sick and poor, life expectancy was below 40 in all countries. And only UK and the Neverlands was likely better off, but not much.
And now, I start the world. Industrial revolution makes countries in Europe and elsewhere move away from the rest, but the conolnist contries in Asia and Africa, they are stuck down there, and eventually, the western countries get healthier and healthier, and now we slow down to show the impact of the First World War, and the Spanish feel epdemic. What a catastophe?
Now, I speed up through the 1920s and the 1930s, and its * of great pressure in western countries forge on toward great wealth and health. Japan, and some other districts follow, but notes countries stay down here.
Now, off the tragedies of the Second World War, we stop a bit to look at the world in 1948. 1948 was a great year, the World War was over, Sweden top the middle tip of the eventually Olympics, and I was born. But the difference is bewteen the countires over the world was wider than ever. United States was in the front, Japan was catching up, Brazil was waiting behind, Iran was getting a little richer from oil, but still had shortlines. And the Asian Giants China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, they were still poor and stick down here, but look what is about to happen. |
