midterm essay 2

-

Nations throughout the world struggle manage their population. It is important to not have too many people or too few people. Japan and India are two countries that have an overpopulation problem, and Greenland is a county that has an underpopulation problem.      The reason Japan and India’s population is so high is because they have 0 Net Migration rate, and the reason Greenland has such a low population is because they have -6 Net Migration Rate. This means that more people are leaving Greenland than coming in and Japan and India no one is leaving or entering.
Japans total population is 126,168,156 it is the 10th biggest country in the world. 37.28% of the people in the country are 25-56 years old which means that most of the county is not in child baring age so not many people will not be having children. Even through the population is so high this does not mean it is rapidly going up Japan only has a 1.42 TFR the TFR need for a population to stay the same is 2.1 so Japans population is going down quickly. They have a birth rate of 7.5 and a death rate of 9.9 therefore the TFR is so low if you have more deaths than births than your population is going to shrink. A way to fix this problem is to have more children so the populations can even out but if you have to many children then you are going to have an overpopulation problem.

Today we watched more of the video guns germs and steel. It talked about how the Papa New Guineans gather and hunt food. The women are the gatherers and the men are the hunters the way the men hunt is with stone age weapons such as wooden bows with stone tips and sharpened wooden sticks as spears. The way the women gathered food is by chopping down a tree and striping it to the core, processing it and cooking it. They also could go out and make a shelter with nothing but their hands in a half an hour.
