Commonwealth Group Presentations

Your group will create a group presentation that attempts to compare and contrast the culture of ONE Commonwealth country to Norway. Your group should be able to describe the cultural history, cultural identity and how we-they relationship affected the country's development. Your group should explore the facts of the country in the Commonwealth and draw conclusions from those facts. In essence, stating facts is not enough if you are not able to say why the facts are important.
For example, if a country has a large population you must draw some type of conclusion from the fact.  How does population affect the country's politics? Literacy rate? Infant mortality rate? Is having a large population a good thing?
Also, each member of the group should be able to speak and present information for 3-5 minutes, and your group should organize and divide yourselves to present the country cultural, political, social  and economic history
