=﻿The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same.=

People in similar regions have the same human experience, such as different countries in Africa. But to say that any nation in the world shares the same experience would be false. This statement is not true because people in different places around the world each experience a different condition of the environment depending on where they live and they must adapt to the changes. The biggest differences come from developed countries compared to developing countries. An example of this is that most places around the world have to deal with water shortages and a lack of clean drinking water, the United States on the other hand has plenty of water for all of its citizens.

Mexico City is one of the worst cities in the world for air pollution. Residents of Mexico City have to live their lives to fit their environment, which would be living with poor air quality and respiration problems. People living in Colorado do not have that same problem, masks are not necessary to go outside and air-borne diseases are not prevalent in everyday life.

 China is densely overpopulated, causing more factories and a lot more pollution. The human experience in China would be a crowded lifestyle and constantly fighting just to be noticed. That is much different than the human experience that would be in Greenland or Iceland, where there are not as many people so the human experience would likewise be different.

 There is not an abundance of resources in Ethiopia, especially trees and wildlife. Overpopulation causes Ethiopia to cut down more trees yearly. Deforestation is a huge problem there because the trees never get replanted, so they are steadily losing almost all of the trees in the region. The human experience in Ethiopia is based more off of living off the land and using the natural resources around you. This is very different from most western countries that rely on technology and industrialism.

 The flooding in Bangladesh is mainly caused by the climate change that is occurring all around the world. Many areas are being affected by the climate change, but Bangladesh is definitely getting hit the worst by the floods, cyclones, and even droughts. People in Bangladesh have adapted their life to fit the uncertainty of the floods, so their human experience is based around rebuilding. A landlocked state, such a Kansas, has a completely different human experience because they never deal with floods and all of their belonging being ruined.

 The statement, “The human experience, no matter where you live, is relatively the same” is not true because, based on an environmental standpoint, people’s lives and human experiences are completely different depending on where they live and what type of environment they live in. People who live in the United States do not spend their day the same way that someone from Ethiopia would, such as getting water from miles away multiple times a day. The human experience is not the same no matter where you live, because the environment changes many factors.
