PART A:
Iran Death Rate (per 1000 population)
The information displayed on the graph is the annual amount of deaths per 1000 people of a population. This shows per 1000 people in Iran, around 5 or 6 people die each year. Judging from the graph, Iran’s death rate is significantly lower than that of the world average. From this you could infer that the environment, health care or living conditions must be reasonably good in Iran to allow people to sustain a longer life expectancy thus lowering the amount of deaths per year. Compared to the Philippines however, Iran’s death rate is marginally higher with the death rate of the Philippines not exceeding 5.0 over the 5-year span. Iran’s low death rate could be a result of the fact that genetically, Iranian have been able to live for a fairly long time, a result of the traditional rough nomadic life style which Iranians had to adapt to. Another fact about Iranian society is that elders are treated with a great amount of respect and care, so if an elder is sick or in need, the community is obliged to help giving the elder a vast deal of support. Aside from these facts, Iranian lifestyle is fairly healthy as well, food is well balanced, with carbohydrates; vegetables and lamb being the main dietary supplements, things like fast food are almost non-existent in Iran. Sport and arts takes priority over activities such as video games and TV. These facts are mainly due to the exclusion of western influences into the country.
Iran Birth Rate (per 1000 population)
This graph shows for the ratio of live births to each 1000 people of the population per year. It shows that for every 1000 people, around 18 babies are born each year. These numbers are a little lower than average when it comes to world birth rates, this does not support the fact of the rapidly growing population which leads to the conclusion that as seen in the year 1999, the birth rates in Iran for around a decade before 1999 must have been substantially higher than average. Then as the years become more recent, as seen in the graph, the birth rate drops considerably and then stays in a consistent range. Compared to the Philippines, the recent rates are fairly low, with the Philippines staying above 20.0 in the last decade, this explains the difference in population with the Philippines having around 20,000 more people then Iran. A possible explanation for the low birth rates in Iran is because of their religion, although Islam does not discourage having children, it does not promote it either, with the average amount of kids in Iran is two. Also recently, Iran has been experiencing a lack in resources such as water and over population in cities such as Tehran is on the rise, in an effort to conserve what resources are left, maybe couples are conserving the amount of kids they have.
Iran Population
This graph shows the estimated population of Iran over the course of a five-year period (1999-2003), estimations of the amount of people residing in the country for each year. From the graph you can determine roughly how many people live in Iran and how steadily the population increases over each year. This reflects the dramatic increase in Iran’s population, which, although not seen on the graph, has doubled since 1985. Compared to the Philippines, which has rates of 76 783, 76 348, 77 926, 79 504 and 81 081 (1999-2003), Iran population is growing at a faster pace, its population increasing by around 14 000 people in the five year time span compared to the Philippines increase of around 5 000 people. The large increase in Iran’s population could suggest an improvement in daily necessities and services such as health care or living conditions.

PART B:
Philippines-Iran Comparison: Total Land Area
As you can see in the graph, Iran’s total landmass much surpasses that of the Philippines, almost being six times larger. Compared to the world average of 767,731, the total land area of Iran is more than double. The massive difference between the land area of the two countries is due to the fact that the Philippines consists of thousands of tiny islands separated by ocean while Iran is one large structure with almost no large bodies of water within it. Thus, Iran’s surface area is substantially higher, making it the 20th largest country in the world (by land area). However, the Philippines would be ranked smaller than most other countries aside from Iran and can be noted that the Philippines is smaller than half the world average.
Philippines-Iran Comparison: Forested Area
The percentage of forestland in Iran is extremely low compared to the Philippines whose forested area is even below the world average of 26%. The main for this difference between the Philippines and Iran would be their natural geography. The Philippines was historically a lush series of tropical islands, with forests covering most of the land on each island. Iran was a series of barren deserts and arid mountain ranges with a minimal amount of the land being forest area, which explains most of the difference between the two countries and the world average (most countries had a good amount of forests, only a small amount had mostly desolate land). However, deforestation has been a major issue in Iran, this has led to desertification. As a result, there is less arable land to grow and replace the lost forests.
Philippines-Iran Comparison: Water Resources per Capita
Compared to the Philippines, Iran’s water resources are extremely low, the Philippines should be at a disadvantage since its population is higher and per capita means that the amount must be distributed equally to each individual, yet it has about 6 times the water resourced of Iran. Compared to the world average of around, Iran’s water resources are drastically low, according to the world bank, any country with a level below 2.0 is under “water stress” and is at a point where the levels are dangerous and could become a serious threat. The graph accurately portrays the serious water shortage Iran has been experiencing, with minimal rainfall and severe droughts causing water to be rationed throughout the country. This could be due to poor management of resources or perhaps environmental issues like the shift in weather patterns due to global warming.
Philippines-Iran Comparision: GDP
I don’t think my country Iran having any trends with Philippines because Iran’s major economic source is due to oil production and Philippines major economic source is due to agriculture or maids and servants sent to other countries that sends money back. Iran also have another impact due to US sanction, but it economic is still a lot higher the Philippines due to the rise of oil. Iran’s GDP compare to world averages it is high because consider there are also a lot of poor countries around the world. I think that Iran’s is able to achieve so much GDP is due to the oil production. Plus the oil price is rising, that may be another reason why Iran is rich.
Philippines-Iran Comparison: GDP per Capita
I don’t think Iran’s GDP per Capita have any trends with the Philippines because Iranian people have more job opportunities due to factories or oil transport while some Filipino that are poor can only beg for money. My country’s GDP per Capita is already very high. Compare to the Philippines Iran get 1606 dollars per person/ year while the Philippines get less than 1000 us dollars per person/year. Iran is very compare to other countries; it is able to achieve 1606 dollars per person/ year. I believe that some countries even get lower GDP per Capita than the Philippines. I think that Iran’s GDP per Capita is high because of the oil. The government each month paid them a bit of money due to oil.
Philippines-Iran Comparison: Total Fertility
I think Iran have trends with the Philippines because both countries are trying to lessen the amount of the total fertility rate. Before Iran have 7 children per woman but now it only has 2 children per woman. I think the Philippines is also trying to lessen the amount of the population so the GDP per Capita will stay and be high. My country’s total fertility rate compare to the world is low because due to Africa countries which have huge total fertility rate 2 children per women are low. The reason why Iran has low fertility rate because before in 1955 Iran’s total fertility rate is 7 children per women which is incredibly high. So the Iranian government established a program that helps to lessen the amount of children.
