I think that week 2 of ENG 298 has been a really productive week. I think that this week’s homework was a way to get a better understanding on real problems that are being faced by developing countries. Comparing that to the United States, we were able to understanding why some of these difference exist. The lecture provided a lot of information on what problems are occuring and what some of the reasons are behind these issues. 

I chose to do my homework assignment on the data set providing information on “Deaths by Broad Cause Groups” in Sierra Leone and United States. After the lecture focused on several more specific categories, I wanted to see what the differences that were present when looking at several causes of death. I felt that analyzing this data provided an interesting look at the medical problems the developing countries like Sierra Leone face.
