10 Differences Between an HIC and an LIC

Description

This is a mindmap created to present ten facts about High Income Countries (HIC) and Low Income Countries (LIC). I also included a section that gives my opinion as to why a system that could categorize countries into certain and specific labels could not work. Thank You for taking the time to view my work.

                                        2. A system would never work because there really is no ways to classify someones social status, economical stature or their achievements in life based upon a chart or a meter that will truly give proper results
                                          1. Social Status
