Yesterday in class we did research on interesting facts on population. For example in 2018 there was 37.9 million people living with HIV/AIDS. I expected this number to be drastically lower. There are many health organizations in the world who advise people to be safer with their spouses. But there are still small countries out there who are developing their resources instead of focusing on this issue. Another interesting fact is Nauru has the highest obesity percentage in the world. 61% of their population is considered obese by regulation. On that small island of 9,692 people, 5,912 of them are obese. That is not good for the people, but it's just amazing to me half their population is obese. When i think of island natives I would picture them having a good physique. After hearing the statistics it completely changed my view of them.

It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked

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...
