Differences in the economy in The United States to Africa


Have you ever wondered what the United States economy looks like compared to Africa's? 

One example is that in the U.S.A. there are more Christians than there are in Africa. 76% people in the U.S.A are Christians. The reason that there are more Christians is because when the pilgrims came over to America on The May Flower most of the people had the religion of Christianity  .In Africa their top two religions differ from Islam and Christianity.

One current event happening with the economy in Africa is that the climate change budget puts health and education funds at risk.  The country has experienced higher temperatures and reduced water sources meaning that there aren't that many places to get water in order for survival.
                                                                  

The United States is the largest national economy. Our main export partners are Canada , Mexico, and China.

In Africa there are approximately 1.07 billion people were living in the 54 different countries.  Many African people are poor, March 2013 Africa was recognized as the worlds poorest continent.

When you compare The United States economy to Africa's it makes the U.S look richer than ever but that is not really true because our government owes about $6 trillion to China, and we still owe about $5 trillion to other countries. Instead of taking other peoples money we could have used it to help out other countries who need more health care than we do and for us to stop being so greedy. All we are worried about is making the bigger better I Phone 6 mean while hardly any of the people in Africa can afford food let alone a phone.

The United States economy may seem great at times but we will always owe money to other countries. For example that is why taxes have gone up so that the U.S can pay off their debt.

Even though Africa doesn't have much money there are probably better people there than there are in The United States because in Africa they are greatful for what they have and in the U.S enough isn't enough for them to be satisfied. This is how The United States economy differs from Africa's economy.
