The World Factbook

The 1st fact (Japan) that I found one fact out about Japan and how their Population Growth Rate is -0.21% and that they're two hundred eleventh in the world for Population Growth Rate and how it's not last place in the world and that there are more countries that have a lower growth rate. So does this mean that more people are dying then being born? Yes because there are more older population than younger so the older people will die more than the lower amount of young people having kids.

The 2nd fact (United States) that I found is 46.5% of people in the United States are Protestants. I found this interesting because I've only known one Protestant which was my math teacher who I had from fifth grade to eighth grade. I also thought it wasn't going to be that large of an amount for any type of religion in the United States since we have such a diversity of races and cultures here.

The 3rd fact (United States) that I found is that the life expectancy for newborns as of 2017 is 80 years old. I found it interesting because I know that a lot more young people seem to die from suicide or drug addictions so it seems kind of bizarre to me.

The 4th fact (United States) I found it interesting that we have a lower obesity rate than an Nauru which is an island near Australia and the Philippines. I just figure since we have a lot of fast food restaurants we'd be up in the top five, but apparently some south Asian island isomer obese than Americans.

The 5th fact (world) is that Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language with a 12.3% of people speaking it across the world. I found it interesting because English is only 5.1% and that English isn't the most common. I especially wouldn't think that if English wasn't then maybe Spanish or French or German, but not Mandarin Chinese. So I found that that was different than I had expected.
