Today in class we went over the answers for the CIA
scavenger hunt. There were a few answers that did really shock me. One was the
one about the Hiv and aids. I think that it is hard to believe that we are a country
that is developed and we are in the top 50 on the list. It is sad because there
are so many other countries that are nowhere near as developed as we are and
they are higher on the list then us. There are so many ways to prevent this disease
and I will not go into how but it really makes me wonder. What are these other
countries that do not have as good of medicine that cannot communicate well
doing better or different then us. One possibility is that as a country we have
a good sized population and it is measuring how many people are dying from
this. Well if you have more people then you will have more people that will
die. Even if you medicine and stuff like that the more people you have the
greater the odds of more deaths. And the smaller counties are less populated so
not as many people will die.
