Using various resources available in your course library or elsewhere, gather facts about the country for each of the categories listed. View the following presentation called MLA Style Documentation to learn how to properly cite your sources. Text only version. You may also want to try this Latin America resource link. Create a separate table or report to present the data for the country.
and this is the briefing data,
Select one country in the assigned world region for this briefing. Look at the list of categories below. Select 20 categories–10 from List A and 10 from List B. Using various resources available in your course library or elsewhere, gather facts about the country for each of the 20 categories you select. You will find the CIA World Factbook particularly useful.
Detailed information about what data to look for is provided in the category explanations that follow. Organize the information you find and create a table for the country to present the data. Or, you may prefer to present the data in the form of a report. The data you provide in the table will help you complete Part 2 of this assignment.

List A
Official Name of Country List the official name of each country in this briefing. The official name is often called the “conventional long form.”
Popular Name of Country A shorter version of a country’s conventional long form name is often its more popular name. Include the popular name for each country in this briefing.
Capital City Provide the name of the city that is the official seat of government for each country in this briefing. Usage Note: The term used for the city that serves as a seat of government is spelled capital. The term used for the building in which a legislative assembly meets is spelled capitol.
Administrative Divisions Countries are often divided into smaller units called states, provinces, or territories. There may be many such units, as in the 50 states of the United States of America, or there may only be a few such divisions. Provide the number of administrative divisions for each country in this briefing.
Other Major Cities Major cities are large population centers where important economic and social activities take place. Provide the names of three such cities for each country in this briefing.
Area Many of the statistics used in the study of geography have to do with the different areas of the earth’s surface. The area of a country is the extent of the surface enclosed by its boundaries. There are several ways to measure area.
In the U.S. system, area is measured in square miles. A square mile is equal to a square in which each side is one mile long. A smaller area of land may be measured in acres. An acre is 43,560 square feet, or equal to a square in which each side is 208.7 feet long. There are 640 acres in one square mile.
The metric system is another way of measuring area. An area that is one square kilometer is smaller than a square mile because a kilometer is shorter than a mile. A smaller area of land may be measured in hectares. A hectare is equal to a square of land in which each side is 100 meters long. The following is a chart to help you convert measurements of area in the two systems:
To Convert: Multiply By:
Sq. miles to sq. kilometers 2.59
Sq. kilometers to sq. miles 0.3861
Hectares to acres 2.47
Acres to hectares 0.405
The sizes of countries vary considerably. Some countries are huge, such as Russia with a total of 6,592,735 square miles. Other countries are very small. Monaco, for example, is less than one square mile in area.
It is also important to consider that a country’s area will probably include both land and water areas. Provide the figures that represent the land, wat

What is wrong with your thinking?
It’s not helping you to do your homework.
If somebody does it for you; YOU are not learning a thing.
If somebody does this for you; you are going to have to do the ones on a test later.
So, what have you done? You would have cheated.
Take the time to figure out how to do it for yourself. Once you do; you will feel so good about yourself.
Your teacher is there to teach you how to do this. She doesn’t know who needs help unless they (YOU) tell her.
PLEASE GET THE HELP!!
Ps: I didn’t read a bit of what you wrote for your assignment.
Donna asks…
Does James Cameron know …?
that the extortionists who rammed the North American Free Trade Agreement down our collective throats blackmailed canada into agreeing that the united states of america holds proprietary rights over canada’s natural petroleum resources, and that the agreement further states that neither the government nor the people of canada have the right to any of those resources until the energy demands of the united states of america are met?
That was a question.
As an apparent individual concerned with native and environmental issues, is Jim aware that if you’re going to publicly fish slap people or entities in the face and accuse them of wrong-doing with the Athabaska Tarsands, it also appears either ignorant or deliberately disingenuous not to fish slap who is truly responsible instead of a politically convenient and unresponsible scapegoat?
Is he also aware that such actions tend to make it appear to critical thinking people that Jim might be somebody’s spokesman talking out of both sides of his chops at once?
These are all questions to consider, don’t you think?
Isn’t that another question?
Didn’t you just love Avatar?

Sandy asks…
Democrat or Republican? – First time voter in 2012?
I will be 18 then, I was wondering what political party is best for me?
Abortion – I think it should be legal, but controlled more.
Euthanasia – I think it should be legal, but controlled, people should get counseling before they do it.
Immigration – I think legal immigration should be capped at a certain number and I think all illegals should be deported.
Gun Rights – I think the idea of gun control is good, but in a country like America where so many people already have guns its undoable so I think it should be left alone.
Environmental Issues – I think we should try and cut emissions and put pressure on countries like Brazil to protect the Rainforest
Health Care – I don’t support it, its not my fault some people can’t be bothered to work.
Gay Marriage – I’m against that, no offense to gay people but its not right in my opinion.
Iraq and Afghanistan – I think we should leave.
I’m excited about being able to vote 🙂
The Expert answers:
Based on you classification of each and how you view them.
Abortion: This could mostly be centrist or moderate liberal thinking. Both abortion and euthanasia cheapen the value of life. Once the door is opened, there will be no closing it. Because we have already accepted as a society that he ending of a life not yet born, the next step is to determine who is of value on the other end of life. That has already been mentioned by some within the power structure at this time. Who will determine when it is your time to pass? Conservatives shun both concepts.
Immigration: There already laws on the books to allow qualified immigrants to come within quotas. Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower all ordered the deportation of illegals to secure jobs for citizens. This is a conservative value, but unaddressed by both parties.
Gun Rights: Limited gun control is expected, but many laws on the books are too restrictive. It will not stop the drug smuggler from also bringing in weapons. We all know how the war on drugs has gone down. Very limited gun control is a conservative issue.
Environmental: We need to be careful about polluting our environment, but some common sense needs to be inserted into the knee jerk reaction of Liberals. How far is too much to allow industry to survive? Limiting regulation to reasonable standards it a conservative issue.
Health Care: Again limits to government interference into the private sector must be maintained at a minimal of interference. Health care can be fixed without trashing the entire system and letting inefficient government bureaucrats waste more taxpayer money. Conservative issue.
Gay marriage: Civil unions are available in most states to insure that all legal claims are protected. That is enough for most of them, it is only the activists that are really pushing it. Civil union is conservative.
Iraq and Afghanistan: Iraq is mostly to our advantage because of it’s close proximity to Iran. A presence there is strategic to possible problems with Iran. Afghanistan is still a breeding ground for terrorists because of the nearly impenetrable terrain. As long as radical Islam wants us dead, we must keep after them so they will not regain as much strength. Conservative issue. Good Luck
