Today in human geo we watched a video on Hans Rosling who taught all about global health. He likes to show his education in both enjoyment and understanding.  Through the video he discussed his version of the population pyramid so people can both enjoy and understand. He showed us his version of a population pyramid where it shows if countries are rich and healthy or poor and sick. Lifespan starts from 25 years to 75 years old. And the income starts from 400 to 40000 dollars. During the year 1810 all countries were mostly under ages 50 and at 400 dollars. Which was extremely unhealthy and poor. On the graph Europe was brown, Asia was red, the middle east was green, the sub-Saharan Africa is blue and last but NOT LEAST… America is yellow! As the dates go one from 1810 is when America, Europe and the middle east went up. This increase came from the industrial revolution. Not only did it create a rich country but increased the population and made it more healthier. Closer to the 2000’s the sub-Saharan Africa and Asia gained independence and are not poor and sick like they used to be.
