What separates the haves and have not's

Haves- good health care good everything pretty much

Have not-millions of people that are starving and don’t have health care

Papua new guinea= rainforest

Jared- biologist expert loves going to new guinea enormous amount of birds author, when he visited this people he found such bad things

They took advantage of these people, and assumed that they are better then new guinea's. White men convinced them that we are better then them

Technological advances to new guineas could be a shovel. That jut goes to show how much technology has advanced

Advance technology, large population, specialized worked force.

13 thousand years ago it’s the middle east ice age is ending

You have to be very smart to be a hunter. 13000 years ago this is how you would get your food

Globalization is the increasing Interconnectedness of people and places through converging processes of Economic , political, and cultural change. Those who are pro-globalization believe that wealth will “trickle down” from rich countries to poor countries. They also believe it will spread the benefits of new ideas and new technology to all nations. One organization that loans money to nations so they can invest in business is the World Bank . On the other hand, those who are anti-globalization say it is not fair, because the richest 20 % of the world’s people consume 86% of the world’s resources, resulting in differences between “haves” and “have nots.”

Use the CIA Factbook to answer the following questions: In Luxembourg the life expectancy is 79.33 , the infant mortality rate is 4.56 deaths per 1000 live births, the literacy rate is 100%, and the TFR is 1.78 . In Libya the life expectancy is 77.26 , the infant mortality rate is 21.05 deaths per 1000 live births, the literacy rate is 82.6%, and the TFR is 3.08 .

We often categorize nations as being “developed” or “developing” natizns. Vietnam and Mexico would be considered developing nations; Japan and Canada are developed nations.

The current world population is over six billion people. The number that measures how many children the average woman in a nation will bear is known as the Total Fertility Rate , which is abbreviated as TFR. When this number is exactly 2.1 , then the population stays the same; if it’s higher, the population goes up, and if it’s lower, the population decreases. The population is growing fastest in developed nations.

A population pyramid that is shaped just like a pyramid - wide on the bottom and narrow at the top -- shows a country whose population is developing. If it is shaped more like a vase or a soda bottle, that nation’s population is developing. Younger people are found at the bottom of the pyramid, and Male are found on the left hand side.

When discussing migration, people who are entering a country are known as immigrants , and people who are leaving a country are known as Migrants.

People leave their country for many reasons. An example of a push force is war, and an example of a pull force is jobs . If a nation’s net migration rate is a negative number, it means more people are leaving the country than are arriving.

My blog for today

Russia delcared a national holiday for making babies because they have  low  birthrate

4 stages that all countries go through

Difference between developed and developing countries

The demographic transition model is a 4 step process that all countries go  through

All of the people who were immigrating back then is not even close to the  shear amount of people now

Main thing of globilazation is money half the migrants go to places where  theres a lot of oil

A third of the migrants have landed in Japan, German, France, Canada, the  United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom Most end up in cities

Its not always money, there could be war, natural disasters, refuges

Refuge- A person who flees their country because of a well-founded fear of persecution, based on race, ethnicity, religion, ideology

Immigration- people coming  into the country

Emigration- people coming out of the country

Today we talked about our world population maps. I finished the quiz identifying world regions. i think i did pretty good on it

Population Pyramids

Developing

TFR- 1.7

The life expectancy was about 79. there is 61,113 people in the United Kingdom today.



Developed

TFR- 2.9
Naru barley has any people to begin with.The population is only 1400 people. There has been no deaths in thousands since 1995. The life expectancy is 64.

Blog for Today

We watched a video called did you know 2.0.There a lot of interesting facts were in there like it took 4 years for computers to reach 50 million people and 38 years for radios.

Notes for today

Population Pyramids

• Graphically represent the age and gender distribution of a certain population

•Can be represented by
region or country
she IP human geographers determine what is happening to individual population across the globe
Elements of the Population Pyramid
•Age-young on bottom
old on top
•Gender male on left
Female on right
•Percentage of population under age is: 301010m 170° loc
Europe; high of 42 percent ( Africa); high number indicates
great potential. Percentage of population over age 15; identities need for health care and
other social services
•Life expected to live;
affected by many factors

Advocates and Critics of Globalization

My paragraph was about some of the pro's and cons of globalization.
Economic globalization is liked by corporate leaders and economists. Oppositions to Economic globalization starts with protests at World Bank and WTO meetings. Supporters believe that it results in greater economic efficiency. Critics think that it will only help people who are wealthy, and make the world even poorer then before.
