North Africa is a region that is occupied by nations that are in the category of developing nations. Their economies are relatively weak, dependent on a single or handful of products or services, which makes them very vulnerable. The incomes of the people are pretty low, though there has been some slight improvement. The life expectancy is much lower than in the more developed nations, while being bigger than the sub-Saharan nations. A big problem is the literacy rate, as lot of people are still illiterate, especially the women, which limits the capabilities of the people and their economic input. The birth rates are very high, as in most of the nations of this type, but that causes more problems, as there is more and more population, while the development is very slow and can not keep up that pace.
North Africa has an average standard of living compared to the rest of the world, and a much higher standard of living than countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This is mainly due to oil income. Libya has the highest ranking (53) and Morocco the lowest (114). Life expectancy is average in North Africa. Many countries have rapidly growing, young populations, which can cause problems like unemployment. Literacy rates are rising. Despite this, most areas have very high poverty rates.
Digital cameras: These cameras changed the way I capture and share memories and how I see the worlds of my friends, family, and complete strangers. While more of my friends than ever before sling fancy digital SLRs, the only digital camera I've used in the last 15 months or so is the one in my iPhone. The other day, when someone took a group portrait with a point-and-shoot digital camera, several of us in the picture commented on how long it had been since we had used an "old-fashioned" camera.
C The Daniel Shays rebellion was due to the poor social and economic problems and the Articles of Confederation was not able to properly rule the newly structured country.
