Questions

Points to research

• how many % of pop in western societies live in cities?

first, what are you trying to compare? how are you defining "western", second?

guess there is no proper definition for it. so i might take europe. i just expect the number of urbanisation to be a lot higher. wanna establish the idea of a trend and compare it to the number you gave me.

• how did the us benefit from ww2? - reference needed
• difference between society and nation?
