Name:APESChapter 7: Human PopulationRegents Week AssignmentDue: Tuesday 2/2/2016Part 1: Where do you stand?Type your response to the scenario below. Please double space your response.The United Nations supports a program in sun-Saharan Africa that provides free birth control and family planning education to help alleviate many of these issues. However, some of the money has been found to also fund abortion clinics in many African countries. Some of this money has also “disappeared” due to the high amount of corruption in many of the governments of the different African countries.This has placed the United States, one of the biggest sources of United Nations funding, in a dilemma. Do we support this program, which helps reduce population growth, poverty, and AIDS transmission, or withhold funding due to the moral consequence?George W. Bush, a Republican who was president from 2000-2008, opted to withdraw funding from this effort. Barack Obama, a Democrat who was elected in 2008, has restored much of this funding. If you were president, what would you do? Explain why you would make this decision from both a practical and a moral standpoint.Part 2: Graph AnalysisCountryPopulationGDPIndiaJapanUnited States315,000,00014,280,000,000,000Kenya38,800,00030,350,000,000Create a double bar graph of the following data.
