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.

We got our tests back today. The class averaged around a 75%. We had notes to use and we still tied with the honors class who didn't have notes. I need to take better notes for my blog. All my notes were in my notebook but we won't use that. We will only be using the blogs. A couple of people got A's on the test. Others not so much. Fun fact every single person who took the test got this one question wrong. It was a trick question that messed with our perception and our thinking. The question had specific coordinates on it, but it doesn't exist in the world. Everyone just took one glance at the numbers and and assumed it was absolute location. It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked

Option C

Option C: Consider our studies of fertility (which include data on CBR and TFR) and mortality (CDR, Infant Mortality Rate, Life Expectancy, and Rate of Natural Increase). Describe the four (or five) stages of the Demographic Transition, beginning with the Industrial Revolution, proceeding to the present day, and projecting into the future. Be sure to discuss individual countries as you describe the different stages. In the world every country will go through a series of stages. They can delay what happens, but they can’t avoid it. The series of stages have been mapped out for us on the demographic transition. There are 4 or maybe 5 stages every country will go through. Each one is different in its own way. The first stage is the beginning for the countries. This is before the industrial revolution, but during the time when people were still hunters and gatherers. They would go out and hunt any food they could find. The country will have a high birth rate, high death rate, and a l...
