Question One
Sub-Saharan Africa is a region struggling with higher morbidity and mortality rates as compared to other regions of the globe. The low economic and education levels contribute to the higher rates of diseases and the spread since people lack awareness of illness trends and progressions. Preventive mechanisms have not materialized in the region as less number of people get opportunities to access healthcare facilities and perform regular medical checkups. The area is rampant with major diseases with a higher projection of deaths before a solution to the problems is identified (Del Casino, Knox, Liverman, Marston, & Robbins, 2013).
The environment is conducive to the spread of disease through vectors with a common one being mosquitoes that spread malaria, a disease that is common in the region (Del Casino, et al., 2013). Unsanitary conditions and the polluted environment is conducive for the brooding of microbes that cause disease with people living in such areas being more likely to be infected.
Question Two
According to Del Casio et al. (2014), the world is undergoing massive globalization because of the advanced technological transfer and the infrastructural development. Even as it is estimated that over half of the languages spoken in the world faces distinction, new languages form with the increasing interactions. Other people abandon their native dialects to pick on wide area languages perceived to be more important, helping to preserve one language as the other become extinct. Even as others go to new places to explore and exploit, some people make the areas they visit to advance contributing their skills and expertise (Del Casino, et al., 2013).
Globalization continues to create new networks that advantage others in terms of advancement and benefits while diminishing the rest. Globalization brings about the connection of different parts of the planet producing economies that are dependent and independent.
