6. Is the climate of a country a significant factor in the daily lives of the people?
Why?
-I think climate is significant factor in lives of people for many reasons. Most
importantly the climate indicates the food that country will have. For example, in
Mongolia we don’t grow mangos or durians that we can grow because of it’s harsh
climate. Secondly it affects how people dress. Because you can’t wear what you
wear in Mongolia in freezing cold minus 40 degree celsus.

Mongolia is ~3 million people (321 million more people live in United States).

Mongolians and only 0.3 percent foreigners in Mongolia.

- I hold the idea that cultures are something that we have created on our path to
fulfill our same desires. Our goals and destinations are the same, the only
difference is that we can use various methods to achieves our desires.
