Document Summary

Globalization by 2000 can be characterized by population expansion, changes in families, increasing lifespan, education and health determining societal status. Unimaginable array of goods and services, but meanwhile deepening world inequalities. For example, cholera, the result of inadequate water treatment, still breaks out in latin america, sub-saharan africa, and the eastern mediterranean: new diseases such as hiv-aids (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) killed. 2/3 of the 33 million with hiv-aids are in sub-saharan africa. South africa has one of the severest hiv/aids epidemics in the world. About 18. 8% of the adult population have hiv. In 2005, there were about 900 deaths a day. Access to education has increasingly separated the haves from the have-nots. Around the world, men have higher rates of education than women, 63 to 64 percent for men, 39 to 40 percent for women in 2000. Lack of or disparities in education increasingly continue to be drags on sub-saharan.
