Today we learned more about population. There are two types of countries in the world. They are classified as either developing countries or developed countries. Developing countries have a low life expectancy. But they do have a high death rate in their countries. This could be caused by war, disease, drugs, crime. Developing countries have less resources to use to fix their problems. Most places don't even have proper plumbing yet so it's going to take them a long time to fix their problems. A developed country has a high life expectancy and low death rate. This caused by good health care, exercise for kids, drug regulations and strict laws. In 1804 the world reached 1 billion in the population for the first time. Life expectancy is the average number of year's to be lived by a group of people born in the same year.

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...
