Day #16-Population Pyramid Projection


Today in Human Geo we looked at a power point on the population by the world through pyramid techniques with growth rate, birth rate, death rate, etc. We found three ways of measuring the population through the Christmas tree, box, and cup methods. The Christmas tree meant that a country had the rate of people in a triangle where the top would be the oldest and bottom the youngest. So that meant a low birth rate, high growth rate, and short life expectancy. The box method was the same set up where old on top and young on bottom. So it was an all equal birth, death, growth, and life expectancy rate. The final method was the cup method and that meant the same set up where old was on top and young was on bottom. That meant a low birth rate, a high growth rate, low death rate, and a long life expectancy rate. There are few countries in the world that are like this method but in the end all countries are categorized in a method eventually. So that means that each country has a rate for the people’s lives whether long living or short, no growth and birth or growth and birth we all have been fit into a system of the world.
