Evolution Of Canada
.... countries in the world. The Shield's N portion is a
treeless plain with permanently frozen subsoil; in its S section are
forests.
Extending from the Shield's W border to the Canadian Rockies are
prairies more than 800mi (1,288km) wide that yield wheat, the dominant crop,
and are centers of livestock raising. W Canada is a land of mountains with
fishing, agriculture, and lumbering as important industries. With the
development of major oil and natural gas deposits since the 1950s in the W,
the now-dominant energy industry has resulted in dramatic economic growth
there, and made Canada a major oil-producing country. The E p .....

Central America
.... America on
the other hand, the wealthiest Country, Costa Rica, came in at just under
$2000. Distortion plays a role on the $2000 also, due to the fact the the
elite-rich have an enormous concentration of wealth and land ownership, the
real GDP of the poorer half of the population is around $200-$400 a year
(Pg 10, Booth and Walker). Accompanying poverty or as a result is poor or
unavailable education, health care, and an extremely bad job market.
Government 'for the people and by the people is not present is Central
America'. What is present is a corrupt military- big business conglomerate
which cares little or none for the c .....

Kuwait
.... 1El Mallakh, Ragaei (Kuwait, Trade and Investment. Boulder, Westview
Press Inc., 1989) pg 117
Kuwaitis are under no illusion that self-sufficiency will take less
than 20 to 30 years to attain and even then it cannot include such items as
beef and cereals. For Kuwait cereal production is considered too expensive
and unnecessary. Self-sufficiency in poultry, vegetables and fruit is a
visible goal: already Kuwait produces 60% of the eggs it needs, 40% of the
poultry meat and 100% of the tomatoes. The next emphasis is likely to be on
dairy farming and animal husbandry to increase the 25% of the required milk
supplies that .....

which has grown extremely large due to massive amounts of loans given to
the country by France. Plus, this increases taxes. The country's per capita

as well.8 The Meiji period was an important part of Japan's changing
western ways. After World War II, Japan changed forever. With the Atomic
bomb physically destroying their cities, and their defeat destroying their
imperialistic mentalities, Japan was deeply wounded. Japan lost the

However, they were soon willing to accept the concepts and ideas from

Lebanon

Israel, Lebanon's eastern border is only 20 miles from the sea.
Although a tiny land, Lebanon boasts a great diversity in its landscape
which makes it one of the most picturesque countries in the world. The
coast line is br oken by many bays and inlets of varying size. At some
points, the mountains wade silently right into the sea - then climb
suddenly tier on tier away from the Mediterranean to the sky. Because of
the limitation of flat agricultural land, all but the steepest hillsides
have been patiently and neatly terraced and planted with garlands of
