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

Although each country faces environmental problems, each obstacle and adaptation to overcome is unique. I agree with this statement when you look at it from a general stand point because when you see all the different countries in the world they each have their own environmental problems’ that the people that live there have to deal with, but I also feel that most of the problems aren’t the same mostly because of the differences in the environment from places being desserts to rainforests, which ultimately changes the way the people adapt to their surroundings. In each of these countries they all have their fair share of problems, although some of the problems do range. For example you have Kenya dealing with deforestation all the way to Brazil having the same problem in the Amazon Rainforest. Also you see India having their own environmental problems starting with air pollution to then Japan suffering from the same problems, which is resulting in acidic rain. No matter where you live in the world you have to deal with problems within your environment. Other countries have to deal with flooding as well, and that creates more problems for the people that live in the region, because they have to clean up and rebuild from all the damage. And the countries are trying to find ways to fix them all. These issues can create problems for the people because they end up losing resources or misusing them because most of the people in the world don’t care enough for the earth to not pollute it. They lose these resources to the damage and causing hunger and poverty, like in India. Also in India they have to worry about the air pollution affecting the people and having them suffer from chronic breathing ailments and children being born with mental retardation because of Delhi’s air being so bad. This proves that these are two different places, both with valid environmental issues but yet they are different because of the places they are. Another example of the way there is still problems but differ from where you are in the world is in Kenya. In Kenya they live in the desert and it is difficult to find sources of water. They have to drill different holes and use wells, not just one family uses the wells either, and it’s the entire town that shares it. But then if you look at Japan it's more urban than Kenya so most places have their own water sources for one family. They live in cities and apartment buildings with their own showers and sinks. Not many people have to worry about; the same goes for the U.S. Yet while Kenya has the difficulty of finding and getting water the U.S. has the problem of conserving water because people take advantage of the fact that we have it. This is proving that both countries have problems with water but they are just different because of where you are. So in reality the human experiences are the same, they are just on different scales depending on where you live.
