National Geographic Precis

The NatGeo website is particularly interesting; from stories on peacocks to environment quizzes, there definitely is a lot to admire. You would think that such a site would be a nightmare to navigate but interestingly enough the site happens to be very well organized with categories and subcategories that really help to make searching easier. I went to the travel and culture section and found it quite interesting that the average life expectancy in Malawi is only 39 years while in Tunisia it is 73. And, for all those animal lovers, there is an animal listed from A-Z, in their own specie categories of course. If you thought the magazine was good, you'll love the site because it's like having a gigantic magazine unfold at the click of a button.
  • Is NatGeo an American corporation or does it belong to no one in particular?
  • Why is it important to have sites that focus on global issues instead of national issues?
