Learning More About CIA

Today in Human Geo we talked more about the CIA World Fact Book. We went over the few questions we talked about last week, and then we moved onto the other ones. We also talked about countries in poverty and we talked about the Indicators of Poverty and Hunger:

• food: body mass must be above 16 
• safe drinking water: must be 15 minutes away maximum, and it must not all come from ponds and rivers 
• sanitation facilities: must be accessible from the home 
• health: treatment must be given for serious illnesses and pregnancy 
• shelter: must have fewer than 4 people in each room and not be made of dirt or clay
• education: everyone must go to school and learn to read 
• information: must have some connection to the outside world 
• access to services: education, health, legal, social and financial 

It's also sometimes hard to find where certain things are because of all the categories, but you still learn a lot.
