The Queen of England has been the head of State of Canada for almost 60 years. Canada’s government is made up of the Prime Minister, Senate, and the House of Commons. Just like the government Canada also has different currency. Canada uses one and two dollar coins called loonies and toonies. Canada’s dollar used to be worth more than the United States, but in recent years it has been changing.
Shanghai is home to 23 million people in 2013, and is considered to be China's largest city. Today, China’s population has exceeded 1.2 billion people. To put that in perspective, China has about four times the amount of people as the United States of America. In addition to China’s extensive population, their history is just as profound. At first, kings ruled ancient China.
The second and third documents show the differences in size and distribution of the population in both empires. The differences here are clear. Han China is about 206 times greater in population than Athens. In Athens about 37% of their population are slaves while in China about 7% of their population are slaves or what they call, “mean people.” The majority, about 90%, of the population in the Han Empire consists of peasant farmers and some skilled urban workers. In Athens, farmers were very valued and the majority of the citizens there were landowning farmers.
THE SOUNDS OF HMONG William Chang December 15, 2005 Linguistics 110 Course Project Language & Language Consultant The Hmong (Hmong: Hmoob) are an aboriginal people group of China, referred to within China as Miao (Chinese: 苗族, miáozú). Starting in the 18th century, large numbers migrated to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar. In the second half of the 20th century, as a result of the Indochina and Vietnam wars, some migrated to America, French Guiana, France, and Australia. The number of Hmong worldwide is very difficult to fix. Most Hmong live in China, and I have seen figures for the population there to range from 7 million (1999 figure, Ethnologue) to 10 million (2000 Chinese census, according to Wikipedia).
Compare and contrast the primary energy mix in China and France (15 marks) In terms of oil, China and France have different mixes. France imports nearly all of its oil. 2% of the countries oil needs are produced in the Les Landes and the Brie oil fields. On the other hand in China oil accounts for a quarter of primary energy supplies in China. China also has considerable domestic resources, especially in the North East of the country.
According to the International Monetary Fund, China has the world’s second largest economy with a value of the countries Gross Domestic Product at around $8 trillion. The countries economic growth over the past two decades has been astonishing and has made China into a super power in the world. Most products you find in England, whether a computer mouse to a hair dryer, most things come from China which has meant their economy grows at around 10% each year which is a huge amount for a country of its size. Some people feel that Chinas success is due to the single-party socialist state which allows them to fully maximise growth. This has lead to some people suggesting that democracy actually hinders a growth of a nation.
Asian American Gerald Trahan ETH/125 July 21, 2011 Jere Wilson Asian American The Asian American population of 17.3 million people in the United States as of 2010, which comprised of 5.6 percent of the total population in the United States, was a higher number then I was expecting. And also 2.6 million people that are Asian American that are five and older speak Chinese at home and more so after Spanish, Chinese is the most widely spoken non-English language in the United States. Fifty percent of Asian Americans that are twenty-five years or older have a bachelor’s degree or higher level of education, where it compares to twenty-eight percent of all Americans in that group. This number almost doubles all the other groups. Eighty-five
The portion of Canadians supporting gay marriage, which had hovered around one-third from 2001 through 2006, increased to 43 percent in 2010 and 57 percent by 2012, according to survey data from the Environics Institute, a Toronto polling group. Only 19 percent of Canadians reported strong disapproval. It's hard to disentangle the effect of legalizing same-sex marriage from broader cultural shifts that were already underway. But it seems that changing the law's treatment of the issue accelerated the evolution of Canadians' views. (Flavelle, 2013) Two views of homosexuality are creating tensions in Canada.
