Visit the households in the two countries from different world regions. Summarize and compare the two households in a well-organized, discussion board post. In your post, draw upon what you have learned about each region and its interconnections to the global economy. Consider measures we used to place countries relative to each other, in terms of development, such as GDP per capita, total fertility rates, percent urbanization, or HDI. How do these countries compare to each other, and to the U.S.? How do you explain the disparities in livelihood? How do the material lives of the families compare to your own experience? Would it be difficult to live at this level of material consumption?
