Today we watched another video on demographic transition. We also sketched it into out notebooks. One thing I learned is that stage 5 really doesn't exist. It's just a theory of what will happen to the country. We have plenty of countries that have made it to the 4th stage but they haven't moved past it yet. There's a possibility it may happen in my lifetime. Right now the country is in stage 4, we are having less children than the previous stages we've been in. I believe stage 5 leads into a baby boom. Stage 1 starts off with a high birth rate and a high death rate, but a low population/NIR. If there is a baby boom in stage 5, it will give the demographic transition what it needs to be in stage 1. I don't know how the population will be low though. The very idea of stage 5 is crazy all by itself. It could lead to the fall of a country or the rise to newfound power. Whether it's good or bad, it will definitely change the way we see countries. if it leads to the fall of a country imagine if every country reached stage 5 one by one. Each country will reach it's peak and then crumble to nothing, then the people will have to start over as hunter and gatherers. Maybe that's how they run back into stage 1, stage 5 sets them up for failure for them to try again as hunters and gatherers. wack.

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...
