Populatoin

    Today our discussion was all about population and what things change population, what things effect population of certain areas, and many more things. Something else we talked about was crude birth and death rate and how the difference between them make up the rate of natural increase. We also talked about how the population of the world has sky rocketed exponentially. For example, in the early 1800's there was about 1 billion people in the world and that took 10,000 years to happen. Then 100+ years later that 1 billion doubled. Then, 100 years later, that 2 billion becomes 7 billion. Plus we discussed push and pull factors of countries, the difference between immigrants and emigrants, and the difference between developed nations and developing nations. Developed naion are nation like the US, we have good health care and government and things are mutual. Whereas countries like India and China are developing countries because they still have changes to be made. Developing countries are also where a majority of our population. The two largest countries in the world by population are both developing countries.
