FRQ’s

1. FRQ’s • Overall y’all did pretty good! • I graded definitions really easy—give examples next time • 1 example of human environment interaction is Galveston. In Galveston they build their houses on stilts because it floods. • Not explaining enough on identify and explain • A benefit is they aren’t harmful to the environment • Renewable energy is energy that is renewable • Proofread!

2. Use your knowledge of population pyramids and the vocabulary learned last class to tell me the following information. • Predict the global region of this country • Give an estimate for rate of natural increase • A benefit of this country’s demographics • A problem with this country’s demographics • 2 more statements involving vocab from last class.

3. Global population over time • Video

4. The Demographic Transition

5. Vocabulary • Crude Death Rate (CDR)—Deaths/1000 people • Crude Birth Rate (CBR)—Births/1000 people • Natural Increase Rate (NIR) — % a population grows each year

6. The Demographic Transition

7. Stage 1 • Lasted for thousands of years of human existence • Food supplies unpredictable, even after agricultural revolution (when people started farming) • Also, a lack of medical knowledge meant diseases killed large numbers of people • As a result, birth and death rates fluctuated, no natural increase

8. Stage 2—The Industrial Revolution • 1750ish—Industrial Revolution—New technology and factories allowed for constant food supply • Also new advances in medical supplies • First happened in Great Britain, spread through Europe and North America • Death rate drops big time • Natural increase rises

9. When did the Industrial Revolution Happen? • First happened in Europe and North America—1750-early 1800’s (they industrialized and urbanized first) • Then, happened in Latin America, Africa and Asia in the mid 1900’s • So different parts of the world are in different stages of the transition

10. Stage 3 • When people choose to have fewer children • People now live longer, so the population is getting too big • More people live in cities (urbanization), so large families no longer helpful • However, still some natural increase (birth rate higher than death rate)

12. Where? • Europe and North America were first into stage 3 • Asia and Latin America now moving into stage 3 • Many African and some Asian countries still in stage 2

13. Stage 2--Less Developed Countries (LDC’s) What problems (cons) do you think a country with this shape of population pyramid will have? 2. How could this shape of population pyramid actually help a country?

14. Cons • Youth bulge • High dependency ratio because of huge number of children • Difficult to provide medical care • Difficult to provide education • May lead to high levels of unemployment • Pros • Lots of able-bodied workers! • No need for immigrant labor • Young people are creative!

15. Stage 4—Zero Population Growth • Death rate and birth rate are the same • Country reaches zero population growth • Women work more, (gain more status in society—govt. positions?), have less kids • Some European countries in this stage

16. More Developed Countries (MDC’s) Pros? Cons?

17. Developed/Stage 4 countries • Pros— • More educated workforce • Women pursuing careers and getting high paying jobs • Low youth dependency ratio • Cons— • Might not have enough future workers! (immigrants?) • High elderly dependency ratio • Need more medical spending for the elderly

19. The Demographic Transition

20. S-Curve

21. Epidimiological Transition • Our ability to overcome diseases can be broken into different stages • With each new breakthrough, life expectancy increases

22. Review Questions—Demographic Transition • How much population growth is there in Stage One of the transition? • What causes the drop in the death rate in stage 2 of the transition? • What causes the drop of the birth rate in stage 3 of the transition? • What kind of population growth is there in stage 4 of the transition? • Give an example country for each of the 4 stages.

23. Review Questions—Demographic Transition and Malthus • How much population growth is there in Stage One of the transition? • What causes the drop in the death rate in stage 2 of the transition? • What causes the drop of the birth rate in stage 3 of the transition? • What kind of population growth is there in stage 4 of the transition? • Give an example country for each of the 4 stages. • How did the time period in which Malthus lived influence his theory on population? • Explain Malthus’s theory using the terms linear and exponential growth. • Name two things that opponents of Malthus use today to discredit his theory. • What do neo-Malthusians point to in defense of Malthus’s theory? • Who isn’t in AP Classroom?

24. GPA’s! • A: 90-100 = 4 points • B: 80-89 = 3 points • C: 75-79 = 2 points • D: 70-74 = 1 point • F: 69 & below = 0 points AND NO CREDIT • AP or pre-AP—Add one point • Add up the points for your 7 classes and divide by 7 to get your GPA • GPA over 4.0—You will have lots of options in terms of universities • GPA under 3.5—Most 4 year universities will not accept you • GPA under 3.0—You won’t be prepared for community college
