Day #12 Human Geo-Population and Migration Imagination


Today in Human Geo class we went over more of population and migration topics form the power point. We went over different statistics and looked at different facts that were presented. Including death and life rate, immigration and emigration rates, and fertility rates. The thing that cost me the most off guard was the fact that Mexico had decreased its immigration rate over the last two years and is looking a lot better. The fact that they were staying in their country more is because Mexico is improving everything from politics to economy. But the thing that was pointed out was that in several years there is a slight chance that Mexico will be in better shape than the United States. Plus another interesting fact is that in Nigeria the average fertility rate is a little bit more than five babies per female. That is a lot to take in and I do have a lot to wonder about that topic. In most ways America is better than the world but in many ways the world is a lot better than America.
