  • investors have sold stock and currency investments and moved them to developed markets. Signs of slowing or weak activity in China and other major emerging markets are further hastening this shift.

      I'm not surprised that business' are moving back to developed regions where they can target consumers with more range and money to buy there products.

      Cultural landscape is shown here as business' should expect growth to slow during this time because of cultural traditions in China.

      Shouldn't China's economy be growing since many manufacturing jobs are being outsourced from developed regions for cheap labor?

  • The cooling growth in the service sector before the Lunar New Year, China’s biggest holiday, echoed a slowdown in its factories. Over the weekend, a government survey showed growth in Chinese factories slipped to a six-month low in January.

      I would have thought that a major holiday such as this would have caused a rise in the consumer services as people buy more goods to celebrate.

Religious Affiliations and Percentage Practiced In the United States - 3 views

  •  
    1. This map shows all the religions practiced in the United States and exactly what percentage of people practice each religion. You can also click a link that shows us how many people actively practice their religion. 2. I chose this because it is interesting to see exactly what religions are being practiced and if people are actually practicing their religion. 3. I think an interesting project idea would be to first, take a survey of the people in your neighborhood of what religion they practice. Secondly, take a survey of how many actively practice their religion. Then look up the same statistics for 2000 and compare the results to see how it has changed. After make a presentation/power point showing these results seeing whether more people practice their religions or not now a days as opposed to 13 years ago.

    Brendan- I love your project idea. I think it would be more beneficial than just writing or creating a visual representation because it would be more like you're doing real field work and it would be more real life than writing about the map.

    I wonder why Georgia has a large number of immigrants because, although it is located on the coast, there are many more states with large cities and more jobs on the northern end of the coast and immigrants from the Caribbean would first arrive in Florida, which has many cities and jobs and is also closer to where they came from.

Foreign-Born Males per 100 Foreign-Born Females - 0 views

    This graph shows that as time has gone on, a larger amount of females than males have migrated to the United States. This is probably because less people later on less people have come for work than to escape from war and dangerous zones

    There is a high amount of refugees in the coastal states. These states all have a large central city or hub, which would mean more job opportunities, which is the main reason people migrating
