The image is a scatter plot titled "Globalization and Life Expectancy," featuring a two-axis graph. The x-axis is labeled "Globalization Index Rank" ranging from "Less Globalized" on the left to "More Globalized" on the right. The y-axis is labeled "Life Expectancy Rank," ranging from "Lower Life Expectancy" at the bottom to "Longer Life Expectancy" at the top. Various countries are plotted as points on the graph, with each point representing the rank of a country in terms of globalization and life expectancy. Countries like Canada, Switzerland, and Austria are situated at the top right, indicating higher globalization and longer life expectancy. In contrast, countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Bangladesh are located at the bottom left, showing lower levels of globalization and life expectancy. The source of the data is cited at the bottom as "Roger A. Arnold, Economics: New Ways of Thinking, EMC Publishing, 2007 (adapted)." Alt-text: Scatter plot showing globalization versus life expectancy for various countries. Transcribed Text: Globalization and Life Expectancy Source: Roger A. Arnold, Economics: New Ways of Thinking, EMC Publishing, 2007 (adapted)
