Population and Settlement

We started taking notes this class on population and settlement. Some notes are:
over 7.6 billion people on the planet right now. And 90% of this population growth takes place in the developing
countries of Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. It is increasing by over 73 million per year and by approx. 200,000 per day, 8377 per hour, 149 per minute, and 2.5 per second. We talked about how poor countries have more children because they don't have the things we have. They also don't have access to stores, pharmacays, doctors offices, or sometimes hospital. They don't get the same education we do, so they don't know that they shouldn't have as many children. There is a website that shows that people die every eleven seconds and babies being born every eight. It shows our Unites States population and world population. Tomorrow we will learn more about this.
