  • Violence and discrimination against religious groups by governments and rival faiths have reached new highs in all regions of the world except the Americas, according to a new report by the Pew Research Centre.
  • Results for strong social hostility such as anti-Semitic attacks, Islamist assaults on churches and Buddhist agitation against Muslims were the highest seen since the series began, reaching 33 percent of surveyed countries in 2012 after 29 percent in 2011 and 20 percent in mid-2007.
  • The five countries with the most government restrictions on religion are Egypt, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.

    Religious conflicts are reaching new highs around the world as the government puts more restrictions on the faith of the people.  Why does the government restrict religions and what do the people or government gain from these restrictions?

    Very recently an earthquake hit California with a magnitude of 6, causing much devastation and destruction. Buildings collapsed and fires started all without warning because of human's inability to predict this natural disaster. Will humans ever be able to control the environment? Or will the environment we live in always dominate us?

    With the Ebola outbreak in western Africa, people are hesitant, or even prohibited from traveling to effected areas. How will this change the culture of this region and how they live?

    The fact that most of the arrests made in Ferguson, Missouri that are related to the shooting of Michael Brown are of people from outside the area has the public wondering just how much of an impact this event has on other regions around the town.

    Certain factors in different regions draw people into the sometimes dangerous profession of journalism and reporting. Why do journalists continue to cover dangerous conflicts around the world when they are aware that they are risking their lives doing so?

    Heifer International is a charity organization working to end hunger and poverty around the world by providing crops, livestock, and training to struggling communities. The livestock, crops, and training Heifer International provides creates a sustainable source of food and income. This improves the GDP and the general health of a region, leading to an increased HDI.

  • Generally countries in the low human development group also tend to have higher inequality and thus larger losses in human development due to inequality, while countries in the very high group experience the least inequality in human development. The East Asia and the Pacific Region performs well on the IHDI, particularly in access to healthcare and education, and former socialist countries in Europe and Central Asia have relatively egalitarian distributions across all three dimensions.
  • The IHDI will be equal to the HDI when there is no inequality, but falls below the HDI as inequality rises. The difference between the HDI and IHDI, expressed as a percentage of the HDI, indicates the loss in human development due to inequality.

    Any questions about IHDI?
