Today we reviewed information on demographic transition. We also talked about the different stages of the country or area in each demographic transition. In stage 1 the country or people are hunters and gatherers. They go out and hunt their food and are most likely nomads, always traveling. Stage 2 has the industrial revolution. In this stage the country or area has high production rate of goods which leads to more money for the people. This directly effects the transition into stage 3. Since people are starting to have more money to buy things in stage 2, people can now buy better medicine.  In stage 3 medicine is abundant and the NIR is at an all time high. Many people are living longer and now can cure sickness. In stage 4 the NIR drops to complete zero. This is because women are now more focused on joining the workforce instead of staying home and having kids while doing house chores.

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.
