1) Why is it important for the vast majority of the population to be vaccinated?

it is important to vaccinate due to herd immunity. It not only protects you but the population around. thus increases your chances of not being infected.

2) Why is the rate of vaccination declining in the U.S.?

the rate of vaccination is declining due to people fearing the side affects or the "one percenters" that were fatal. it also comes from not having a true knowledge of how serious these diseases can be..

3) What is the danger of using anecdotal evidence instead of scientific fact to make medical decisions?

using factual information of vaccination can not only educate you but help save a life. by using anecdotal you can put you or someone else at risk. Nothing is 100% of the time. But if it works and can help save a life or more without harm, then why not?

The 2016 presidential election at times felt like a mockery of democracy, where the internal problems and manipulation of both the Republican and Democrat Parties led to the nomination of two vastly disliked candidates. This in turn made the election in which we are supposed to be excited to vote for the better candidate into an election where many were forced to pick between the lesser of two evils without truly supporting them. With the Democratic Party greatly underestimating the dislike for Hillary Clinton and the silent majority becoming a huge of part of this election, Donald Trump ultimately got enough electoral votes to secure the presidency.

With the inauguration of Donald trump as the 45^th president of the United States, many issues have arisen; while some are content with him as our president there is a large majority of people who oppose him. Among the issues surrounding his presidency are issues that will drastically affect the young generation, issues of human rights, climate change, threat of war, and growing prejudice. I believe because of the uncertainty behind his presidency and just from his first week office, one of the most prominent issues we will face will be as a result of the 2016 presidential election. Already a Muslim ban for some countries have spark nation-wide outrage, and due to some of his executive actions many countries have been forced to react to them. Fear is growing and people are more divided.

In recent years, the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries have received much attention due to their growing importance in the world economy. Now that you are equipped with knowledge about macroeconomic data, you can take a first-hand look at how quickly these countries have been growing, how much inflation they have, and how developed they are when compared to the USA.

	Brazil	Russia	India	China	USA
Nominal GDP in 2013 (local currency, Million)	4,844,815	66,755,300	113,550,735	56,884,521	16,768,100
Nominal GDP in 2000 (local currency, Million)	1,179,482	7,305,600	21,774,127	9,921,455	10,284,800
Price Level in 2013 (index 2010=100)	124.12	121.63	132	111.1	106.8
Price Level in 2000 (index 2010=100)	51.4	30.75	54.2	81	79
Population in 2013 (in Million)	200.4	143.5	1,252	1,357	316.1

PPP Conversion Factor 2013	1/1.9	1/19.47	1/18.24	1/3.36	1

The PPP conversion factor is the price in US dollars of a basket of goods (chosen by the World Bank) in the USA divided by the price in local currency of a comparable basket in that country.

For each of the BRIC countries and the US, over the period 2000-2013, answer the following:

1.What was the average annual inflation rate?

2.What was the average annual growth rate of population?

3.What was the average annual growth rate of real GDP?

4.What was the average annual growth rate of real GDP per capita?

5.For each of the BRIC countries, in the year 2013, how did real income per capita compare to that in the US? (To make this comparison, report real GDP per capita for each country as a percentage of the US.) Report two answers, one based on market exchange rates and one adjusted for differences in purchasing power.
