5 Facts That I Find Relatively Interesting

   So we were assigned to find five pieces of information from the CIA world fact book, so here we go. The first fact that I found interesting was that sadly 37 million people suffer from HIV, and that 940,000 people die per year due to it. This was interesting to me since I thought that HIV was a nonexistent issue, but it turns out that it is still a problem. This fact relates to our studies of the death rate in the world and the cause of some of these deaths. The second interesting fact is that the literacy rate in Vietnam is 94%. This fact surprised me because I thought that there wasn't very much education there, but it turns out that their literacy rate is higher than the Unites States. Fact number three is that in the Dominican Republic people in the armed forces are not allowed to vote by law. I find this idea interesting, but I'm not 100% sure why this is a law, I'll have to do some more research, but this still surprised me. The fourth fact is that in the U.K. you only have to be 16 years old to serve in the military (with parental permission). This was interesting since this may contribute to the death rate of teenagers in the U.K., or it may not. The final interesting fact is in Bosnia unemployment from the ages of 15-24 is 64%. This is an insanely high statistic and is probably caused by the high number of people living in such a small area. All of these facts were very interesting to me, and I hope whoever reads this finds them interesting too.
