Can you proff this?

More than half the total Danish population, Denmark has a population of about 5,418,000,is employed with roughly 67 percent of the labor force working in the service sector and roughly 27 percent engaged in manufacturing, construction, and mining. It said on Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia “Almost all Denmark’s electricity is produced in thermal plants using coal or petroleum products, though the use of coal has declined in the 1990s. Production in 1997 was 39.2 billion kilowatt-hours. There have also been efforts to develop renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.” I wish that we had solar powered and wind powered electricity.





Among the universities in Denmark are Alborg University; Arhus University; the University of Copenhagen, the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University; and the Technical University of Denmark. These are 7 of the 12. In the early 1990s some 360 folk high schools, agricultural schools, home economics schools, and other specialized high schools. Many of the schools are private, but the state contributes to their support.


In Denmark they have three main meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, the adults usually have coffee or tea and bread with jam or cheese, and the kids have milk with cereal products, like us. For lunch they have bread and butter with meat, or pig’s liver and lard in a spread able state. For dinner, also called middag, which is eaten in the early evening, they always try to eat a hot dinner at home with their family, that’s very important to most Danes. They also have another meal that is called Kaffeborde, which is like a tea time type thing in which they have a desert and tea.


The religion of Denmark is mostly Christian, but they also have other churches, nobody forces anybody to go to any church or even church at all. There are some people that believe in the Nordic religion. That is one of the religions that believe in many gods. Another prominent church in Denmark is the church of Denmark; this is run by an important political person and is practically run by state. Many citizens of Denmark are members of this church. That’s one difference between their country and ours, the separation of church and state.


The Danish currency is the krone, or crown, 6.60 kroner equal U.S. $1; 1997 average. The National Bank of Denmark is the bank of issue and is the center of Danish finance, with head offices in Copenhagen.


Denmark has a temperate climate the average temperature in summer is about 61° F and in the winter the average temperature is about 33° F. Average annual rainfall is about 24 in. Compared to us the average annual temperature ranges from 51 degrees on the Pacific coast to 40 degrees in the northeast


In the writing of this paper, I learned many new things that I didn’t know before about a country that is in my heritage. I learned about Denmark’s Danish, currency, religion, Denmark meals, their jobs, and Universities in Denmark. I also learned that they speak Danish; many also speak German and French. Very few non-Danish people speak Danish, so almost all Danish international business people speak English as a second language. The reason that I choose this culture is because my moms and dads culture both are this and this was a great chance to find out about more about my heritage.

Can you proff this?
Prove if what you've written is true....? Well, most of it seems correct enough, though a few pieces of information made me smile, and some things would probably need a few more nuances to be absolutely correct, but I guess that's the way it always is. Right now the US $1 is about 5.60 danish kroner btw.
