Chapter 24, Section 1
1. India has nearly 7 times the world average population density, because of its enormous population of 869 people per square mile. Climate, vegetation, and physical features are the types of factors that affect the amount of people of which a certain area of land or an environment can support. The fertile Gangetic Plain is the region where the highest concentrations can be found.
2. Hinduism and Buddhism are the two major world religions that helped form the taken paths of India's history and culture .
Creative Writing: India's major cities are perhaps the most densely populated cities in the world! Kolkata is a major thriving port city, it is also the center of India's iron/steel industries. This place is like nothing I have ever seen before, there are so many people.
Chapter 24, Section 2
1. Increasing population and urbanization are becoming problems in both Pakistan and Bangledesh. The two are having issues with those two areas because they are both having shortages in food, jobs, housing,and also pollution is becoming a big problem.
2. Pakistan and Bangledesh have contributed to the Arts by adding many stone sculptures and carvings. Also literature and dance are very important in Bangledeshi culture. And then music is also very rich in Pakistan.
Creative Writing: For many centuries Kashmir was a part of the Inidian kingdoms ruled by princes. Then this land was declared to be part of Pakistan. The hindu prince then fled to Delhi, where he legally signed the state over to India. India had legal right but Pakistan insisted that they would be a better homeland for the Muslim residents. The result of this conflict has been two decades of war. This conflict is not only dangerous to these 2 societies, but also to the world. It is dangerous to the world because of the fact tha Pakistan is conducting underground nuclear weapon tests.
Chapter 24, Section 3
1. The construction of stupas and dzong, which are religous shrines and monastaries which is how these countries have contributed to the arts.
2. The major religions in the region are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Sikism.
Creative Writing: The literacy rates in Bhutan are drastically low, 20%!!!! Also health care in these regions are very low, there are very few healthcare proffesionals, there is also lots of disease and all of this causes the life expectancy to greatly decline. I do believe that as one of the richest countries out ther it is our duty to help those countries in need, because they need the money and help way more than we do.
