Is the World Getting Better Or Worse? is, I think, a truly exceptional infographic. Plus, it’s accessible to English Language Learners, though it is a bit “busy.”

Instead of explaining it further, just go check it out.

Hi Larry,

Your site was recommended to me by Nick Lee, an IBO workshop leader, who is currently mentoring a group of us as Diploma Programme Coordinators.

Amongst your various posts this one caught my attention… it is, as you say, very informative and I find it is full of hope!!!

My students and I had a similar reaction when viewing a talk given by Hans Rosling (see address below). I believe you will find it quite interesting.
