Somalia+Abbie+Palechek

Phoenix, Arizona and Mogadishu, Somalia, are half way across the world from each other, but they still have some of the same problems, the heat, safety, and drug uses. The two places are tough to compare because they don’t have much in common. In Mogadishu, children aren’t safe, clean, or healthy. There are a lot of people getting killed on a daily basis. Drugs are being used by way too many people. Water is limited, depending on where they are in Mogadishu. There isn’t enough food to feed them all. It’s a very poor country. They don’t have many recourses to work with, so they can’t export a lot of things. In Phoenix, Arizona, the main problems is drug use, immigration, and the heat. Too many people are using drugs. Too many people are moving to Phoenix, for the heat. And it gets //way// too hot. It’s not a poor country but there are a lot of homeless people living there. One of the biggest differences is the population. There is about 1,445,632 people living in Phoenix, as of 2010. In Mogadishu there are about 10,085,638 people, as of 2010. There are a lot more people living in Mogadishu than in Phoenix. Another difference is the food. In Phoenix, people are wasting food, where as in Mogadishu, people don’t have enough food. The two places don’t have much in common, besides the heat. The heating ranges are pretty close. It doesn’t usually get under 60*, in either of the places. In the future the immigration problems in Phoenix will most likely get worse. The drug use will probably get worse too. In Mogadishu the food and cleanliness will probably get worse, as more children are born. Phoenix Arizona is located at 33* N and 112* W.
