Today in class we watched a video working with population pyramids. This video was a TED talk which I have watched in the past and have really liked listening to them. This video was about how demographers can read and use population pyramids to predict following trends. The video also highlighted the differences between countries population pyramids compared to what there economy is like. It used the trend that post industrial countries or developing countries have a very high birth rate and there population is growing quickly. This is because these countries need a lot of people in their work force. In industrial countries families do not need to have as many kids to succeed so the birth rate is usually about constant with the death rate. In post-industrial countries the society has a lot more automation and less need for work.
Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing
