Statistics.

For the tags I am creating I have been using a variety of statistics related to life and the world we live in today. I am sewing the tags into a net curtain, creating a collection of information to be viewed when the curtains are hanging. 


Some of the statistics: 
250,000 deaths a year by AK-47
126,496 divorces in England and Wales in 2009.
23 years of a lifetime spent asleep.
77.9- the life expectancy of a UK male in 2009.
82- the life expectancy of a UK female in 2009.


However, I have also used the worldwide statistics on tags in relation to other information. 
E.g. 
'The World Aid Foundation charity lists 50p would buy a child a meal, £3 would pay a child's month school fees, £30 would buy a family food for a month, £30,000 would build and provide a family with a two- room house. In 2007 world aid built houses in Balakot, Pakistan. The national minimum hourly wage in England is £5.93 for over 21s. In 2011 Pakistan has announced a $5.7 billion defence budget- an 11% increase on the previous year.'  


The information can clearly be linked but I am not giving any links in the tags. I think the information speaks for itself. 
I am going to complete more tags in this style which incorporate different facts to give an important comparison. I have already made one including casualty statistics for ongoing wars and the death toll of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami.
