geofr2.docxSouth Asia and East Asia have more differences than similarities. The South Asian realm contains countries like Pakistan and India. This realm contains only about 3% of the total landmass of the Earth but contains almost 24% of the Earth’s population (Blijj 403). The South Asian realm also contains major landmarks like Mt. Everest, the Khyber Pass and the Ganges River. When it comes to religion, some major and minor religions were established in this realm, for example, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Due to the location of this realm in the world it is highly prone to terrorism, especially the western part of the realm like Pakistan.
The East Asian Realm is the second most populous realm behind the South Asian Realm. This realm contains some of the most advanced and oldest countries, for example, China, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan, South and North Korea. It can be argued that a good percentage of the world depends on this realm. These Asian countries produce many of the world’s goods like clothes, plastic items, vehicles, and technologies like cell phones and TVs.
These realms have many similarities and differences. One similarity is that both realm’s futures seem high. India’s economy is growing due to the outsourcing of many Western countries companies. East Asia has a huge opportunity for their economy to increase due to their advance in technology. Another similarity is that these are the realms with the highest population because China (biggest population) and India (second highest population). In my opinion East Asia will have the most success in the 20 years because of all the supplies they provide. They provide 2 of the biggest human needs, technology and vehicles. If Asian countries continue in their current path this realm will be a bigger superpower in the future.
