MediaGRI



1. Why does china have such a little amount of internet hosts? ( looking under economy > media could help, look at the things about internet) 2. How come Egypt barely uses any sort of media? (the population and location could have something to do with this) 3. Why aren't there many internet providers in Brazil? (looking under economy > media could help, look at the things about internet) 4. Why does the USA have so many internet hosts, but not as many internet or cell phone users? ( looking under economy > media could help, look at the things about internet, comparing populations too) 3. Go back to Country Report. Select one of the countries used in your chart for additional information. Read the summary about the media in the country. Then read about education, population distributions, etc to find answers to one or more of your questions. **Write a short summary about what might explain the information you found about the country.** Why does china have such a little amount of internet hosts? China probably doesn't have a lot of internet hosts because Communist Party of China controls basically everything internet related there. This leads to people not spending a lot of time on the internet, so not a lot of hosts are needed.
 * 1) How do the number of each of the forms of telecommunications differ in the USA and the other countries you chose? Obviously the data is influenced by the population size, so try to compare for instance, the ratio of cell phone users compared to telephone users or Internet users etc., rather than just comparing total numbers. **Write a summary list of sentences describing the differences in the media in the various countries.** China has the most amount of cellphones and barely any internet hosts, but the United States has the most internet hosts and less cell phones. Media probably isn't used much in Egypt, since the only two statistics that are visible are the amount of cellphones and internet users. Brazil also probably doesn't use media a lot, since the internet users and hosts are quite low. Overall, China uses the most things, USA uses the second most, japan is in the middle, then Brazil, and Egypt with the least.
 * 2) Can you explain the differences that you observe? Think of a question or two that might explain what you are observing. **Write a list of questions about the information data for the countries**. **Beside each question, make a note of the information might help you understand what you are observing.**
