Q3 Benchmark Reflection

​ Overall, India is in much more stable condition than Egypt. Its strong trade ties with the west and its neighboring countries have allowed its economy to flourish in recent years. However, it has some significant weak spots. India is much more susceptible to global warming and climate change than Egypt because of its unique geography and dependency on agriculture. Both countries have made efforts to improve the relationships with its neighboring countries; however, both India and Egypt have had an array of boarder disputes and diplomatic tension.
The 5-point framework was sometimes difficult to assess. For example, considering Egypt is a developing country, it has been making great strides in green technology to combat global warming; however, if they don't reach their goal of 20% renewable energy by 2015, it could have disastrous effects for the stability of the country, greatly affecting tourism and the agricultural sectors. It was difficult to assess this aspect of their collapsibility rating because there are so many pros and cons.
            I'm really proud about the layout of my project; however, in some parts of the project, it was difficult to find information and I think that that is reflected in the final product. I enjoyed this project, despite questionable time management throughout the entire process. One addition I would make to this project would be to add more categories to compare each country to. I think someone could get good understanding as is, but it would only be improved by adding certain categories. For example, if an issue a country has doesn't fall under the pre-existing categories, it could appear more stable than it actually is.
