Life Expectancy at Birth (both sexes) and GNI PPP per capita, 2014 ($US)
For the graph of Life Expectancy at Birth and GNI PPP there is a clear positive relationship, but there are also a few interesting outliers and patterns. The positive relationship can easily be seen by analyzing the graph, it can also read by seeing that the two countries with the lowest GDPs have the two lowest life expectancy rates while the countries with the two highest GDPs have the third and fourth highest life expectancy rates.

The question that was asked was whether people agreed upon whether a husband was justified for beating his wife if she leaves the house without informing him.

Now this is clearly not a reflection of the world's views on domestic violence but to see even one country where this is the case strikes a chord in you. For any female to believe that she is less than her husband, must report to him, and/or can be beat by him shows how around the globe, emotionally and mentally women have been conditioned to believe they are second class to men. The rates have come down over the years in all of the countries used as examples and that can only give me hope that the culture and ideal that women are less than is being dismissed and daughters will teach their children of the next generation differently and this improvement shall
