For class today we got our test back and experimented with Population Pyramid. I scored a 90% on the test. I got three questions wrong, one of them I should've gotten right but I was in the wrong section. The other two I got confused with and switched their places around. Crude birth rate is births per 1000 people per year. Total fertility rate is the average number of children born per woman. That is the correct answers, but on the test, I had those answers flipped around in the wrong spot. The population website was very easy to work and cool. First of all, I can get the population of countries I need very easily. It takes me half the time to find a countries population, compared to the world fact book. Also, the population pyramid is made for people who are visual. In this class we often compare populations to each other. The population pyramid gives you the population in graphs, which is way easier to comprehend and compare than numbers. I would recommend using the population pyramid for future use in the class.

Stage 1: Before industrial revolution. Started as hunters and gatherers. High birth rate, death rate, and low NIR/population. Birth rate slightly higher than the death rate, slow population increase. No countries in this stage currently. All countries are in at least stage 2. Stage 2: Started from the industrial revolution. England was first to do it then U.S. birth rate remains high while death rate drops. Population/NIR rises higher than the birth rate. High production means more money, which leads to more medicine/bigger houses for kids. Stage 3: Lower birth rate, death rate remains, population/NIR peaks then drops. Women have less children because they enter the workforce. Population falls greatly. Birth rate still higher than death rate, population slowly increases. people live in cities, bad idea to have large families. Colonial Mexico experienced the stage. Stage 4: Slow time for the country. Birth rate barely higher than death rate, population rises very slowly. Birth rate w...
