__**Analysis:**__ When combing the statement of, “The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same,” and the environment together, the statement is made false. The human experience is when people do whatever they can to help not only their country, but the world in general. The environment is all around us, whether its forests, deserts or even cities. Everywhere you go you will go through the environment and depending on where you are, you will experience different types of environments. As a result of all the different environments throughout the world, people depend on different things and have different ways of life. Russia has a very diverse environment. They have forests, mountainous areas, deserts and areas that are always covered in snow. The resources found in each of these different areas would greatly differentiate from one another. So a person living in a heavily wooded area would most likely have very rich soil allowing them to farm and grow crops, where as a dry, desert like area would most likely be high in coal or oil allowing for the people there to burn the coal and oil to create energy for industry. The very diverse environment makes Russia a prime example of why that statement would be false. Australia is a very dry, arid area allowing for deserts to form. They have a very hot and dry climate and have to find a different way to adapt to it that than someone who is living in Uruguay where there are forests, and much less arid, and hotter conditions. They have to find a way to use the resources that are in the land to work for them and help them live. Location also plays a role in the human experience. In a land-locked country such as Uzbekistan, the people can’t rely on things like fishing to make money, unlike places like Uruguay, Russia, and Australia who is completely surrounded by water. These land-locked countries have to rely on major industry and farming. However, because they are land-locked, they don’t have very good access to water, which means they have to irrigate it. So not only do they have to irrigate the water so the people can use it, but also so they can water their crops. As a result, a country like Uzbekistan will run out of water forcing them to find a new source and a new way to make a living. Pollution also has a major affect on the human experience. The amount of pollution in countries has huge effect on the people themselves. In Russia, after the Chernobyl accident, the nuclear radiation has spread and now covers a large area in Russia. As a result, the people that are stilling living in the radioactive areas are having health problems with themselves, and they are birthing babies with health defects or giving birth to dead babies. .The people living in this area are going to have more sever health conditions compared a place such as Australia, where there isn’t as much pollution. So overall the statement of, “The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same,” is false because every country is going to have different environments than others which causes the people to adapt and live different than people in a different country.
