Critical: Asia has a very high population density which is bad for many people. That means they have many people next to each other which in turns lowers the average standard of living.]]> 2017-04-13 15:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275078 Staple Food(s)- Social 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275124 Example: Many poor countries have rice as a staple food because it is cheap and easy to store.
Critical: Staple food are good for some families because they are usually cheap but that means they don't eat many variety of food which is bad for the body.]]> 2017-04-13 15:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275124 Proverb- Religion 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275165 Example: Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Critical: Proverbs make the world a better place because they stress truth and purity as the main points of the philosophy/religion.]]> 2017-04-13 15:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275165 Overpopulation- Social 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275197 Example: China has 1.35 billion people compared to the US's 318.9 Million.
Critical: China is one of the most overpopulated Countries in the World. The government had to place a restriction on how many kids you could have because it was so bad. This in turn lowers the average lifespan because there is so many people.]]> 2017-04-13 15:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275197 Outsourcing- Economy 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275236 Example: Nike's Headquarters is located in the US but because of cheaper labor cost Nike moved the work force to Asia.
Critical: Outsourcing is good for the US and China's economy. China gets money for working and the US get cheaper shoes. A lot of companies do this to save money. I think this is a good thing because I get cheaper products.]]> 2017-04-13 15:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275236 Karma- Religion 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275279 Example: A greedy businessman cheats people, lies on his taxes, and engages in insider trading. He gets caught, goes to jail, and loses all his wealth.
Critical: Karma is a philosophy some people believe in, it teaches them the golden rule treat other how you would want to be treated. This is turn means that Asia is a better place to live. If everyone treated everyone good the world would be a better place to live.

Critical: Confucianism is very prevalent in Asia today. Even though it might not be the biggest religion in Asia many people follow some of the things Confucianism teaches. Such as respect your elders. This affects Asia because it shows us how people view the world and the afterlife.]]> 2017-04-13 15:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275306 Communist State- Political 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275352 Example: China is one of the major players in communism.
Critical: China believes that everyone should be equal and no one should be above each other. All property is publicly owned. I don't agree with this government because someone could sit on their butt all day and get as much money as someone who works all day and that is unfair]]> 2017-04-13 15:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275352 Caste System- Social 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275394 Example: The Caste System in India Today.
Critical: India's society believes that you are determined by your heredity. That means your parents are very important in your live. If your parents are to pay off a debt and then they die you will have to pay of that debt for them. I disagree with the system because you should not be judged on your parents and you should be judged on who you are.]]> 2017-04-13 15:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275394 Arable- Geography 924811 https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275445 Example:  China has 11.3% arable land. Compared to India's 52.6%.
Critical: India is probably a better place to live in because they have more area to grow crops meaning that the air is cleaner which is a problem in China today. China has a worse standard of living because of this.]]> 2017-04-13 15:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/924811/jk3fibrxcm63/wish/166275445
