Option B:  The population pyramids below represent two countries at different stages of the demographic transition and economic development. Explain the demographic characteristics of each country below with respect to the demographic transition model. Describe potential issues both countries could face in the future if their population pyramids remain the same. Discuss possible solutions to each country’s population concerns.  I feel very good about my essay.

So we took a quiz today and holy crap that was really hard. So I didn't really watch the videos so I didn't know how to answer the questions on the them. There was also a question where it asked what the total fertility rate would be if the rate did something and I thought we had to answer it with a number so I put a hundred and it was apparently rate of natural increase so I obviously got that wrong along with many more probably. I really hope I got a good grade on this quiz even though I know I most likely won't I can still hope cause if I get a bad grade on this and it drops my already eighty-five down, that means that I can't get a bad grade on the exams which I know I am going to do very bad anyways so there really isn't a point anymore.

In biology or human geography, population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a population. Many of the world's countries, including many in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia, have seen a sharp rise in population since the end of the Cold War. The fear is that high population numbers are putting further strain on natural resources, food supplies, fuel supplies, employment, housing, etc. in some of the less fortunate countries. For example, the population of Chad has ultimately grown from 6,279,921 in 1993 to 10,329,208 in 2009,[1] further straining its resources. Niger, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the DRC are witnessing a similar growth in population.

Khan Academy Video stabilization of the population in countries often occurs in industrialized countries because less developed countries, because less developed countries tend to rely on and follow other developed countries for advances the first stage of the demographic transition shows a decrease in population. The second and third stages show an increase in population due to technological advances. The fourth stage shows a decrease in population because of the lowered number of people having children.   most countries were at stage 1 until the 18th century Video From Kim Smith, Ph.D. in stage three, the crude birth rate slowly decreases, and the population becomes more stabilized; women are starting to work and children are becoming liabilities instead of assets a major concern with over population is called the demographic trap. People have theorized that if a regions population becomes to high, they will begin to lose many required and essential resources for surviva

So today in class we read through a packet about the graphic transition. The graphic transition consists of four stages. The stages start from a high CDR and a low CBR and slowly work up to a high CBR and a low CDR. As we were reading, we had to highlight important things that we need to know in the future. I highlighted and did really cool boxes and things to make my notes look super cute. I've been doing those kinds of notes all day today and I am loving it. I am going to continue doing my notes like this because they look neat and clean cut and cute.
