LIFE EXPECTANCY

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12q81-xiDtdH-HNTAKXRt9IMHDZLB6bLA5g7eVp0b04g/edit?usp=sharing I´m going to talk about the life expectancy in the different countries. Life expectancy is a measure of the average time an organism is expected to live according to the year of birth and other demographic factors. This expectancy is different in every country because the way of life, climate, food...may be another. The countries with more expectancy are this ten: Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, Australia, Italy, Iceland, Israel, France and Sweden in the order in which I have put it. Our country, Spain, is one of the countries with people over 110 years with Sweden and France, they are called the "supercentenarians". Spain has an average of 82.7 years of life, but some recent studies have said the average has gone up to 83.38 years over the United States (78.74) and below Italy (83.49) What are the main factors that affect longevity? The first one is the gender...

POPULATION

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19x2TSvsVsD4YyormA0GIbBzyEHzJkH62VCC85P4CHxw/edit?usp=sharing A population pyramid is a traditional way of visualizing and explaining the age structure of a society. It is a graph that shows the structure of a society by sex and age at a given time and place. Watching the sex ratio we can say that the group of boys is larger than the group of girls, this can be because of genetic issues but investigators didn´t find any demonstrated reason. Sex ratio matches at 45-49 50-54. Looking the graphic we clearly see that women live more than men or in other words they have a higuer life expectancy. The reasons for that might be: In the past men usually smoked and drank more alcohol than women, so they can have a worse health.They didn´t do too much exercise because the didn´t help at home. A few years ago men were the ones who drove and nowadays men usually do dangerous things than women, enough reasons so that they have more posibilities to ...

MIGRATIONS

I choose the Central American Route that thousands of people make every day on the back of the beast. This route follows the Southeast-Northwest direction. As it says in the National Geographic link, Europe is not the only part of the world to face a refugee crisis . I think it´s a very interesting route to summarize and with many people´s experiences that can help us to learn more things about the daily life of some poor people. First I am going to explain why people make this dangerous route: for living in a new country? to change life habits? That sounds good, but the reality is that people want to cross the country because they are desperate and need a new life for them and their families. So they think that in the USA are going to achieve a better life with a good salary and a safe place where they can live with the whole family . Other people however don't want to move their family from their country,and for that reason only one person, for example the father, move ...

People who came from countries of Central and South America have to cross a lot of dangers to find a better life or job for their families.
