Today in human geo we watched a ted talks youtube video. I learned that Nigeria is increasing. Russia is decreasing in population. Japan has the longest life expectancy. We talked about demographic transition, post-industrial, industrial, post-industrial. Life expectancy goes up up when it is industrial because they have have more money to take care of themselves. The rural vs urban living changed durning industrialization.
Today in human geo we watched another video. It was Hans Rosling he teaches global health. He made of graph. The X axis was life span and the Y axis was income. He showed the world separated by color dots. Europe was brown. Asia was red. Middle East was green. Sub-Saharan was blue. Americas was yellow. The graph started in year 1810. In 1810 all people were sick and poor and the life expectancy were 40 years old except for U.K. and Netherlands. As the years went on the life expectancy got higher and people got more money.
