**The World Factbook on the CIA webpage is a good source to start with. Use this link to access the site: Also, encyclopedias and any government or education sites (ending in .gov or .edu) are usually trustworthy and reliable.

Examples of types of information for each trait:

Daily Life: food, clothing, urbanization, family life, daily schedule (ex. some cultures eat late at night or have “tea time” in the afternoon), literacy rate, etc.
