New Unit.

Today in class we started a new unit about population. It talks about how the population of the world is always growing and how by the time we're in college the population will be at 8 billion. Death also does play a big factor in this also, if more people die and less children are produced then maybe the population will stay under 8 billion for longer than we all think. It was also very interesting to me to see that many of the countries with low populations have the most kids. This was shocking because if they can't afford to have kids, then why do they keep having them? A reason for this is because they want to have a male in the family. If they keep having girls then the family will continue to keep trying in order to have a boy so that the family name will remain. it's crazy to think that woman will nearly kill themselves in order to have a boy, when in fact the male life expectancy is low for men. We determined this was because of the mental make up of a male. They find more enjoyment by being risky and dangerous. When woman don't find that enthusing. They want to be safe and go to the hospital if they are in a need to. I'm looking forward to this unit coming up because I find it very intriguing. I see how the population can affect our future world.
