Compare and Contrast:

So looking at the graphs listed above shows main differences between each other. The United States is known for its economy in how rich it is and how good of a GNI they have which isn't bad ($66,060). However compared to the country of Kuwait their GNI compared to the US it's ($58,930). Before getting into their differences and why their different GNI (Gross National Income) means when something is defined as a gross domestic product and you get plus receipts from abroad of compensation. And a good example to use this from is that if something you make in your town is worth $2 then shipping it off to another town where what you made is rare then it could be worth more for like $7 and that's what's called a GNI. Stating their differences regarding things apart from the GNI could play a role in this difference and what that is is that it's also about the population. Obviously both countries are extremely different in size and how much population there are with the US being grater. However even though the US has a higher GNI and  population, Kuwait has a much higher birth rate than them. Kuwait has the birth rate of being %82 total compared to the USA it's only %77. More or less this can play out better in Kuwait's favor because of population, which is also effective towards the US because including the birth rate of different sex both male and female still outrun the US as well. But the most stated difference shown above between both countries is that the US does have a much larger population with them standing at 332.3 million and Kuwait being at 4.5 million.

However, looking more into their stats there are some similarities that both have in common and that aren't so different. Looking at both life expectancy percentages despite of Kuwait outrunning the US when regarding which sex outruns which we realize that both female percentages for both countries run about the same with the US Females at %80, and Kuwait Females at %83. Even if one of them is greater than the other they both run in the same ratio is having about the same rate. Another similarity that they both share regarding life expectancy is that both the female from both countries outrun the males. Moreover, these similarities both countries share the similarity of having about the same amount of Birth rates. Both countries share this common stat with Kuwait going for %12 and the US going for %11 which isn't that far behind. Overall, both these countries share the similarities of being different regarding the obvious stats like the GNI, life expectancy and population, but when coming in closer to the small details about how both countries outrun life expectancy over males they both share small similarities like that which make them not so different.

Both countries compared to the world:

Both countries compared to the world is that for the GNI that they have they sit in a good place. Reason why I say this is because regarding their populations both of them make sense to have that certain amount which means that their economy isn't that bad either. Based on the website of Data World Bank, Kuwait's stat seems to be going up on a good track which means that their GNI is in a good place considering the population they have as well. Along with the US considering the population they have based on the same website, not much has their stat decreased compared to Kuwait. However compared to the world both countries sit in a good place with their rates in a fair place. And reason why is because compared to other countries where maybe more male are born and are in a higher life expectancy could cause a chain of effects within the country to even causing the GNI to go down and so for both countries to share almost the same stats for each genre they sit in a good place above a good amount of countries.
