"Collapse"ibility - Q3 Benchmark

The project is also viewable online here.

The countries of my project are Egypt and Greece. The research on information about these two countries was not as hard. However, it became really difficult to find information about "Society Response to Environmental Problems", due to the overshadowing presence of other current issues like financial crisis, Egypt's revolution, etc. It was fairly easy to find an approach of presenting the information. I chose to compare Egypt and Greece side as I go through each of the 5 points framework. Jared Diamond's 5 points framework was an interesting theory to assess a country's collapse'ibility. On the other hand, the framework was reflected based mostly on past civilization that does not seem to adequately apply to today world. The main reason was due to the hyper connected world as a result of today technology. Therefore, it is hard to single out a country to examine whether it is going to collapse. The process for this benchmark could have been much better if I began a bit sooner! I guess I never learn the lesson of procrastination. I should make my product more interactive and some graphs.
