India´s Economy

India is a country that is currently part of the BRIC block, therefore it can become one of the most economically important countries in the future.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the economy of India had followed socialist tendencies. The economy was paralyzed by rules and regulations imposed by the government, protectionism and public property, which led to widespread corruption and slow economic growth. It was in 1991 when the national economy became a market economy.

¡¡ G'day Everyone.. Australia Is Here !!

Australia is a country in which we can appreciate the relationship between culture, geography, history and economy in a very different way from the other countries of the world.

The UN (United Nations) chose Australia as the second best country to live in because the access to education is high, a high life expectancy in people and the crime in the country is very low.

Australia was a British colony, for this reason it has the same language and form of government and justice. It's a country with an excellente system of education, health and social security; for those reasons it is one of the least insecure countries in the globe.

Because of is historical formation, Australia is a nation of immigrants. This has led her to also become a tolerant multicultural society with complete rejection of racial discrimination, for that reason they enjoy the interaction with foreign people.

As a country being surrounded by water, people are very in touche with the nature and sports, always enjoying the beautiful beaches that offers this island and we definitely can't forget about the kangaroos and koalas, Australia is what they call home.

¡¡ The country of surfing, long summers and multiculturalism.. this is Australia dinky di !!
