Migration Stories Part 1

                A place where I would like to live is London, England, because I have always found that area of Europe to be interesting to me. Most of the People there are nice. Great sports city especially for soccer and I really do not mind watching a couple of soccer clubs play. Also their seafood is delicious and I am a very big fan of seafood. There is a lot less fighting with other countries and a smaller threat of having fights with other countries. 

               

                 Another place where i would like to live is somewhere warm and has clear waters like the Caribbean or Central America. Like I said in the other paragraph I love to eat seafood and the islands are filled with seafood. Very close to the waters for swimming and for just laying on the beach. Also some of the people on my mother's side of the family are from Haiti and the Dominican Republic so I could walk the footsteps of my ancestors and do some research on them. 

                

                  Some push forces for London, England is that it is very cold up there during the winter. Also American dollars do not have the same value as the pound in England. Some of the foods that don't have to do with seafood are terrible. Also there is not a lot of sports to do other than soccer, tennis, and golf. 

                 Overall I would like to live in the Caribbean or Central America but right now there is poverty. There is also terrible crime that includes the Drug Car-tell that is killing people and selling drugs all around. Also their economy is lowering so there is a smaller chance of all the nice stores and businesses on the island will be closing down. So a lot of the Carribean and Central America are not going to have their luster within the next few years.

                 Over time my mind will change on where I want to live but, in eight years I will be out of college and will have to make a decision on where to live and where to work at. When the time comes I know I will be ready to chose.

                   

Reviewed Test

We reviewed over the test we took last week. To make sure that you had all of the correct answers.

The Sudan Boys

These boys had to leave their country without their parents because of the Civil war between the Muslim Africans and the Christian Africans. They had to move from camp to camp. Barely surviving, they finally made it to their new home. They thought they would only be there for a couple of weeks but they ended up staying for 10 years. Finally, some of those boys got the chance to live in America with a new family. 5,000 miles away from poverty.

Migration Stories Part 2

America is a very diverse country. Different languages, cultures, and religions. Both of my parents were born in Pennsylvania. My mother was born in Washington, Pennsylvania. My father was born in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. No one really remember's on my father's side where everyone came from. My Grandmother on my Mother's side was born in Alabama on a plantation but to be prevented from going through slavery she was shipped up to Pennsylvania when she was 2. My great Grandmother (Lade Bell) was born in Alabama she was a slave on a plantation but because of her beauty she did not have to go through slavery because the Plantation owner married her and they produced numerous children. My great great grandmother on my mother's side was born in Haiti we don't know where she was from, but we do know that she was came to America in the early 1800's because of stories about slavery in the U.S. so she lived with the Creek Indians in Alabama and married one of them. The name of the creek Indian is vague to her.

Just took Test

Just took test on Population rates. I got an 84%.

Population Studies: Defining Terms

Life Expectancy:
The length of life averaged out.

Japan: 82.6, and #1 in the World.

France: 80.7, and #8 in the World.

Kenya: 54.1, and #167 in the World.

Cuba: 78.3, and #36 in the World.

United States: 78.2, and #38 in the World.

Afghanistan: 43.8, and #188 in the World.

Crude Birth Rate:
The average amount of babies born per year.
China: 14 births/1000
Kenya: 36.64/1000
Ethiopia: 43.66/1000
United States: 13.38/1000
Germany: 8.18/1000


Death Rate:
The amount of death's averaged out per year.

Kenya: 9.72, and #67 in the World.

United States: 8.38, and #99 in the World.

Mexico: 4.80, and #192.

RNI:
The Rate of Natural Increase is the birth rate minus the birth rate.


TFR:
The average amount of babies a woman will have each in a life time average.

Saudi Arabia: 3-4

If the TFR has to be 2.1 if it's lower the amount of people goes down and if it goes above the amount increases. 


Population Pyramid:


Net Migration: is the difference of immigrants and emigrants of an area in a period of time, divided by the 1000 inhabitants.
