The test is Monday the 18th. I have all the notes I need to study. The standard TFR is 2.1. Monaco has the highest life expectancy. Canada and the United States have high immigration rates. It mostly comes from immigrants that are leaving Mexico. The reason for people leaving Mexico is because of its bad economy. Now American companies are starting to build factories in Mexico to improve their economy. Recently the United States have increased border control to reduce the rate of immigration. the world immigration rate is 0. Also, the United States has a low TFR, but immigration keeps the population rising. Push forces include war, pollution, religious persecution, unemployment. Pull forces include jobs, religious freedom, peace. Developing countries have a high birth rate. The highest birth rate is 6.8 children born per women. The lowest is 1 child born per women. The reason for this is because they focus more on gaining money through trading of resources, instead of the public health.

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...

Class today was easy. We finished the slide show of the longitude and latitude lines. The quiz is tomorrow but I really need to study. South America is full of countries unlike the U.S. We have states united to form a country. Since they're united states they technically have a right to leave and form its own country. That's a completely crazy idea to think about. Imagine the state of Rhode Island leaving the states. We would have a tiny nation right next to us and they could declare war. To me the idea of Rhode Island fighting is very funny. But the scary idea is Texas leaving us. Texas is a major powerhouse with a huge population. They could easily take over the states next to it. The only ones able to stand a chance against Texas would be California. I would pay to see that battle. I'm betting money Texas is going to win.
