demographic transition videos


  • khan academy 
    • Religion influences the size of a family because this promotes more people to be in the faith., and encourages stronger community.
    • In stage one of the demographic model people have high birth rates because children work, and do not have contraceptives/cant use them. 
    • countries move into stage two of the demographic model bc. there is more food available.
    • in stage three child births decrease bc. children cannot work anymore and have to go to school.
  • Kim smith 
    • In the first stage women were defined by the number of children they had (esp. boys).
    • As gender roles changed girls were allowed to go to school and have jobs and did not want to have kids (they were expensive).
    • demographic trap- they country will not transition but get trapped without enough resources for the people they have.
  • Why population grows and demographic transition 
    • doubling time/growth rate = pop. growth 
    • In European countries the only thing stopping a decrease in pop. bc. women are having less kids is migration.
    • boiling water, health system improvements, hygiene improvements,  a water collecting/filtering system, collecting garbage, improved food production/storage, invention of refrigeration, agricultural move, genetically modified crops, tractor instead of horse and plow, improved food transportation = lower death, and infant mortality rates in stage 2
    • Stage 5- negative pop. TFR lower then 2.1 but immigration helps maintain pop. and effects are not seen yet bc. demographic momentum.
    • Demographic momentum=most of pop. is in child bearing age even if TFR is low will be generations before number of deaths surpasses number of births. 

           The third video (Why population grows and demographic transition) was the most helpful to me because it was the most insightful. It cover all 4 stages of the demographic model and added the 5th stage in as a bonus. It gave the definition of almost ever word related to the topic, and refreshed my memory on the ones I had forgotten. It did not only include the information found on the text book papers you gave us, like the first vid.. The vid. introduced us to more information while tying it back to things we already learned and understood. That made the knew information more easy to understand and comprehend.

Rome song

Today we listen to a educational parody about Rome. It was really funny and not what i had expected. I had just woken up when i listened to it and i did not know my volume was up so the song defiantly gave me a wake up call. I started laughing and ended up spitting out my water. I am not certain you were on the recording but it sounded like you on a lot of parts. I can completely imagine this playing in class like the Euphrates/Egypt song.

This is the temple of Hera the Greek goddess of marriage and queen of the gods in Olympia . It was built in 590 and is believed to have been built with wood and replaced with stone later. The temple has 16 columns and  was destroyed by an earthquake in the fourth century.  This is a sculpture of Athene in the Parthenon. You can tell it is her by her shield with a snake on it and an owl at her side. She is the patron Goddess of Athens and the Parthenon was partially built to honor her. It was mainly built to establish Athenians and Greeks s great architects and built them a reputation for that  during the beautification of Athens.
