10. Reasons for high/low HDI 1. Unequal distribution of natural resources 1. Food 2. Minerals 3. Energy sources 2. Corruption in control of the resources 1. Dictators, Kings, Military Generals, and democratically elected Presidents will control resources differently. America benefits from a wealth of resources combined with leaders elected by the people to make sure our resources go to the right people

11. Why do we care? Compassion:  As a country we give more than any other country (100 million to Haiti)  As individuals we give more than any other country (112 million to Haiti) Strategic:  The higher the HDI usually the more stable(democratic) the gov’t is and the less likely to support terrorism  The higher the HDI the more valuable of a trade partner the country is(expands our economy)
