likely to benefit human kind or annihilate them. Demographics gives people a basic insight about how their past and future are inter twinned. One of the key drivers that has been assigned to me by my group is Demographics. Although there are many trends that may fully/partially have impact on personal transport. The key factors that I would like to focus on in this summary are • Global Population/ worldwide populace • Urbanization • Migration TREND 1 - GLOBAL POPULATION – Population is likely going

was to make sure that China could support its large population with facilities such as healthcare, education, housing, good jobs and most importantly, food. The aim was to reduce poverty and to improve overall quality of life for the people. China’s one-child policy has led to unintended and negative consequences, such as a diminishing labor force, an aging population, the neglect of basic human rights, and an unbalanced sex ratio gender population. To improve China’s situation, the policy should be

Lagos is the most successful city because of their population growth, government structure and history. The year 1960 is a year of new beginnings for the newly formed city, Lagos. In 1861, ninety-nine years before Lagos won its independence from Great Britain, the British Lagos Colony is annexed. The name Lagos, was suggested by Flora Shawn in 1890. To get an idea of how old Nigeria is “Archaeologists have found evidence of Neolithic humans who

The remaining four articles are scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that I found related to my topic. The article “The Economic Explanation of Fertility Changes in the United States” from volume 25 of Population Studies was published by Alan Sweezy. This was a very informative article about the most common explanation of fertility changes. That being when the economy is stable, fertility will be high, and when it is not, fertility will be low. This article

The Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and

documentary series not only shows delicious Chinese food but only Chinese culture. Audiences could learn the migrate history of Chinese people, current situation of education and economics growth in China through foods. I find some concepts about human geography in the documentary. During the class, we talked about the categories of the world system, and China belongs to Semi-Periphery due to the large land mass. Similarly, a country also has the categories, some cities are core regions

Presently, 6.8 billion people exist on the Earth today. Combined, the entirety of farmland needed for these billions of people to be fed is equivalent to the size of South America. The population of Earth is still steadily increasing. Populations are expected to continue rising to 9.6 billion within the year 2050. Each one of these extra people also needing more healthy food, clean water, space, and energy to survive. When these extra bodies arrive, in addition to crop late the size of South America

was in its era, one of the largest cities in the world. At its height, its population was estimated to be around 150, 000, with another 350,000 people in the urban network clustered around it. (Mundy 2015) Fast forward to 2016, Mexico City (Distrito Federal; or more recently renamed as CDMX, Ciudad de Mexico) (The Guardian 2016) has an estimated population of 8,919,653, (World Population Review) and an even larger population of 20.2 million people (Demografia 2012) with its metropolitan area included

illustrate the progression of the population of E. coli a set time period. In this case, the growth curve depicted the population of E. coli over a 12-hour period. The growth curve for E. coli was created from the absorbance levels, the optical density(OD), recorded from the spectrophotometer. A bacterial growth curve illustrates a lag phase, a log phase, a stationary phase, and a death phase. The lag phase of the growth curve depicts no growth of the population. There is no growth because the bacteria

This is where the regulatory controls such as bio-politics of the population take place. Foucault describes how this “bio-power” has been influential to the rise and growth of capitalism. He was adamant that the triumph of this economic structure “would not have been possible without the controlled insertion of bodies into the machinery of production and the adjustment of the phenomena of population to economic processes”. (Foucault, p. 141) Since capitalism demands growth, such
