Pop quiz

Today in class we went over the questions we made yesterday. Of course, mine was used as an example of excellence, but the map didn't load properly so I had to update it but I couldn't find the exact map so instead we got a French one. After that, we had a pop quiz. The quiz was pretty easy but on account of me being a big dummy, I got two questions wrong, making it into a B. The questions I got wrong were the difference between Chicago and Maryland time and a question on map distortion. I got the question on map distortion right but then I second-guessed myself and got it wrong. When we were finished with that we started to work on our blogs.

Demographic Transition

Today in class we read a packet about the demographic transition. In summary, the demographic transition is a process by which a nation develops. There are four total stages. Stage one is when a nation is struggling. The CDR is really high due to lack of food and medicine among other things, because of this the people have many children to counteract the high CDR. This results in a nation with high CDR and high CBR which cancels each other out leading in a very low NIR. When the nation gets a boost such as the industrial revolution or medical revolution that lowers the CDR the nation enters stage two. The CDR lowers but the CBR remains the same, which leads to a very high NIR. This makes the population boom. Then, as the nation develops rapidly, it enters stage three. When a nation becomes developed enough, there is no more need to have multiple children. The NIR is still positive but lowers than in stage two. Then, when fewer children produce is encouraged, it enters stage 4.
