He entered a 2 week boot camp in Bermuda and stated some of his experiences there. He said that the regiment "brings young men from different social circles together." The regiment is meant to straighten out the misbehaving characters of society. Pitcher does agree that the regiment is a great character building experience-if you view it that way. If you go into the camp negative, then you will not get much out of it. He strongly disagrees with the draft system in Bermuda. He does not like that he is forced to serve his country. Pitcher accepts his duty, but is not thrilled that he has no choice. A typical day at the regiment is strict training and discipline. There is not much time to eat, shower, or sleep.

His favorite things about Brazil are the people, beaches, sunshine, the opportunities, and wearing a t-shirt and shorts all year round. Smith stated that the difference between Brazil and his homeland is in Brazil, there is extreme poverty, difficulty in providing basic social needs to the inhabitants if Brazil, and very bad education for children. He also said that Brazil is a fast-developing country and not a lot of violence involving drunks.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Person Researched:** Julian Ryall

Story/Description: Ryall was an undercover journalist in North Korea, researching the lives of North Korean people living under dictatorial rule. There has been an increase in the amount of homeless people and the amount of suicides since the governments reform in November, 2009. There has also been a lot of vandalism, such as graffiti. The government is trying to find more ways to put people in jail, because that is how bribes are made. Refugees, who now live in China, are offered 500 dollars a month and some extra money for bribing the guards to go back to North Korea and do some reporting on life there. The famine that occurred in the 1990's is still affecting North Koreans today. Starvation is still very heavy in that country.

I am comparing my chart with two classmates' charts. For the high income countries, Bermuda compared to the United Kingdom, Bermuda has a higher income per capita and the median age, but the United Kingdom has a higher literacy rate. Their total fertility rate and life expectancy are just about equal. Bermuda's income per capita just about doubles the income per capita of the UK, Comparing Brazil to Chile, Chile has a higher income per capita, median age, life expectancy, and literacy rate. Brazil had a higher fertility rate. Chile had a better economy than Brazil does, shown by the statistics in the chart. The Philippines, income per capita almost doubles the income per capita in North Korea, and has a higher life expectancy, but North Korea has a higher median age, literacy rate, and fertility rate. Madagascar compared to Zimbabwe, Madagascar has a higher income per capita, life expectancy, and the total fertility rate. But, Zimbabwe has a higher literacy rate, almost by 25%. They both have the same median age. When comparing Japan to Bermuda, Japan has a higher life expectancy, median age, literacy rate, ad fertility rate. Bermuda has a higher income per capita. North Korea has a higher median age, life expectancy, and literacy rate. And, India has a higher income per capita and total fertility rate. For low income countries, Afghanistan compared to Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe has a lower income per capita and fertility rate that Afghanistan. Afghanistan has a higher life expectancy and literacy rate, almost tripling it. They both have almost equal median ages.
