Quiz and new unit

Today in class we took the quiz on Mesopotamia and stuff. It was really easy. I think that I probably got 100% on it however I am not sure. I don't know if I successfully spelled "Ziggurat" which is dumb because this is a history test, not spelling. Anyway, after the test, we moved on to a new unit about Egypt.  I learned that Egypt started as a bunch of small farming villages that began popping up along the narrow banks of the Nile river. Eventually, the villages evolved into two kingdoms, Upper and Lower Egypt. I ran out of time so I wasn't able to read more or finish my notes but we will have time tomorrow to do that.

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.
