Find and copy a map of each country, along with the country's flag.
Find and copy a population pyramid for each nation.
Would you consider each of these nations a developed country or a developing country? Why?
I would consider Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, and South Africa all developing countries because in all of these countries there are many people born but there are many deaths at young ages. As you can see on the population pyramid in all of these countries at the bottom of the pyramid it is very long and at the top it is very small. So it is shaped like a Hersey’s kiss. This symbolizes that there are so many people being born but so many people dying at a young age and little people living to the age of fifty or above. The United States is a developed country because they are a lot of people that live to be older and a small amount of people are dying at a young age. The USA population pyramid is wide in the middle, the bottom, and top, this shows that people in the USA live to be all different ages.
