Gapminder Screencast and Analysis



Variable set 1                                                                     Variable set 2

A. Life expectancy is how long a average persons life is. Income per capita is how much money the average person is making per year. Murder per 100,000 is how many people on average are murdered out of those 100,000 people per year.
B. Life expectancy helps measure the standard of living by measuring how healthy a society is. The healthier the society the longer the average person will live. Income per capita measures economic development by measuring how much money people are making. The more money people are making the more economically advanced society and with people having more money the standard of living rises. Murder per 100,000 measures economic development by showing us how desperate people are. If a person has a higher standard of living then they are less likely to go murder someone.

    Variable 1: The core countries in Europe in North Americas life expectancy and Income rises rapidly until a point where it hovers. The more developed Asian countries follow. Certain countries in central and southern America and some Asian and African countries continue to hover in the same industries. This is because they have not yet had their industrial revolution. They have not had the advances in healthcare and agriculture. Therefore people are doing more primary sector jobs instead of tertiary higher paying jobs.
    Variable 2: The core countries murder rate stays low due to higher incomes and people in less desperate situations. Sometimes countries will rise up on the murder half the table due to war, droughts or other such hardships. A lot of these happen in previously colonized less developed countries who are  sometimes unstable and tend not to have higher income and more people in a serious need for resources this leads to more people being murdered.
