Nigeria
The total population of Nigeria is 149,229,090. The total fertility rate of Nigeria is 4.91. The crude birth rate is 36.65 births/1,000 populations. The crude death rate is 16.56 deaths/1,000 populations. The total life expectance is 46.94 years old. The infant mortality rate is 94.35 deaths/1,000 live births. The independence of Nigeria was in 1960 after many years of military rule.I believe they are a developing country, because they do not seem to have a good economy, because they don’t have good health care, because the death rate is really high.
Ethiopia
The population of Ethiopia is 85,237,338, with a TFR of 6.12. The crude birth rate is 43.66 births per every 1,000 people, and the death rate is 11.55 deaths per every 1,000 people. the life expectancy is 55.41 years old. the infant mortality rate is 80.8 deaths per every 1,000 live births. Ethiopia has been free form other rulers, except the Italians for a little while. because of years of war and refuge problems, I believe that Ethiopia is more like a redeveloping country, the just starting off.
Sudan
The population of Sudan is 41,087,825, with a TFR of 4.48. The crude birth rate is 33.74 births to 1000 people, and the death rate is 12.94 deaths to 1000 people. the life expectancy is 51.42 years old, and the infant mortality rate is 82.43 deaths per 1000 live births. Sudan has been under Islamic based military. Sudan has had two long civil wars in the last two decades. they have recently come up with The North/South Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005. Sudan is a developing country because it lakes some of the necessities needed to make a developed civilization.

Kenya
The population of Kenya is 39,002,772, with a TFR of 4.56. The birth rate is 36.64 births for 1000 people, and the death rate is 9.72 deaths for 1000 people. The life expectancy is 57.86 years , and the infant mortality rate is 54.7 deaths for 1000 live births. Kenya was founded as a Independent nation, but was ruled, through the years, by greedy and violent rulers. Kenya is a developed country because it has a somewhat organized government, even though it is corrupted.

Today we went to see Mr. Shoal's Native American collections. I thought they where really cool, the way they used the tiny beads and made those neat designs must have taken a lot of time and dedication. What really interested me was the fact that they soaked the hides in the animal's brain juice. I can't understand how they thought to do that. i enjoyed it and i learned more then i thought i would.

North America is one of the fastest nations that became developed. The United States is only 233 years old, and we have already become one of the most socially developed and economically rich countries in the world. North America was first populated by Native Americans. Then after Christopher Columbus found the Americas, many people came over from Europe and started settling English colonies here. They brought their guns and then completely pushed the Native Americans to the western half of North America. They started settling down in the east cost of North America.
After America was formed as a country of itself, many people started to migrate over to America. People came from Ireland, because of the wars and potato blight, And from England, and Italy, and from all over the place. The American population had no choice but to move out to the west. They settled out and created western territories. At that time the Native American where pushed out of their final homes, and where made to move into reservations.
When the civil war broke out, many African Americans moved over to the south, because of their new found freedom there. The cruelty of the “Jim crow laws” also persuaded where they would travel. The civil war is a big example of settlement, because, depending on where you lived, decided what side of the war you where on.
When industrialization came, many people moved over into the cities, especially the cities on the eastern half of America, like New York. For two reasons the eastern half of America is most populated. One is that the eastern half of America is where people first started living. And the second is that it is where industrialization first begun.
