• Yes, Americans are crazy about pizza • Yes, Americans are crazy about pizza. In 2009, we spent more than $36 billion on pies and slices. • How does this chart measure the popularity of pizza in various states?

How many different Protestant churches can you think of? • What values do religious communities typically emphasize? Why might such values be important to people in the modern world?

• The number of kids in the U. S. growing up in poverty is on the rise • The number of kids in the U.S. growing up in poverty is on the rise. This graph defines poverty as an annual income of less than $21,756 for a family of four. • How does the graph define “kids”? What percent of kids in Kentucky lived below the poverty line in 2008? • What special problems do you think children living in poverty face in an affluent country like the U.S.?

• What two age groups were surveyed for this study • What two age groups were surveyed for this study? Generally, which of the two age groups seems to worry more? • Why might older kids worry about money or their looks more than younger ones? • What other worries do you think should be in the top five?

• No so long ago, it was hard or impossible for women to work in many professions. In recent years, the situation has changed in some jobs—but not all. • In which profession shown is the percent of women and men closest? • Why do you suppose some professions were once thought of as either men’s work or women’s work?
