The Civil War of Sudan

The first civil war of Sudan took place 1955 to 1972. The war is a fight between the southern non-Arab populations, and the central government raising allegations of marginalization. Four million people were forced to flee their homes. The second war was continuing of the first war. The war took place in southern Sudan. This war was the longest war of the twentieth century. Around 1.9 million people were killed in southern Sudan.

Homework for 10/21/10

• Why did the Lost Boys have to run away from their homes? The lost boys had to run away from their homes because there was a war going on in their country. People were coming into the Sudan, killing and cutting the men in Sudan. 
• Why couldn’t they stay in Ethiopia? The lost boys couldn't stay in Ethiopia because Ethiopia was having their own government problems, they couldn't afford to take care of the lost boys.
• What was life like in the refugee camp? Life in the refugee camp is very hard. There was limited food, no electricity, and not secure houses. They don't have everything we have. They went weeks and months without food. Some days they would get everyone together and joke and around and try to have fun to pass the time by. They all were great to each other and they all say they are like one family.

This is how much the Lost Boys walked to get to safety.

This is how much we would walk if we walked 1,000 miles like the Lost Boys did.

Classwork of 10.5.10

Today in class we reviewed our tests.

population studies: defining our terms 10/1/10

life expectancy 
Japan- 82.6
France- 81.5
 Kenya- 54.2
Cuba- 78.7
United States- 78.4
Afghanistan- 43.9 

crude birthrate  
Japan- 7.64 births/1,000 population country comparison to the world: #222 
Kenya- 36.64 births/1,000 population country comparison to the world: #29
Ethiopia- 43.66 births/1,000 population country comparison to the world:  #7
United States- 13.83 births/1,000 population country comparison to the world: #154
Germany- 8.18 births/1,000 population country comparison to the world: #220

Crude death rate

Afghanistan 17.83 deaths/1,000 population

Kenya 9.72 deaths/1,000 population

United States 8.38 deaths/1,000 population

Japan 9.54 deaths/1,000 population

Mexico 4.8 deaths/1,000 population

RNI

In demographics, the rate of natural increase (RNI) is the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population. If we neglect the migration, then a positive RNI number means that the population increases and a negative number means that the population decreases.

When looking at countries, it gives an idea of what position in the Demographic Transition Model, but to find out how much a country is growing, the population growth rate should be observed.

Usually developing countries have a positive or high natural increase rate Developed countries have a negative/neutral or low natural increase rate ^[1], but many developed countries have their population increasing due to immigration despite their negative RNI.

The formula for the rate of natural increase is:

(Crude birth rate − Crude death rate) / 10, where birth and death rates are in per mil. The result is the rate of natural increase inpercentage form.

TFR

Niger 16.56 deaths/1,000 population

Afghanistan 17.83 deaths/1,000 population

Japan 9.54 deaths/1,000 population

United States8.38 deaths/1,000 population

Germany 10.9 deaths/1,000 population

Net Migration Rate- the difference of emigrants and immigrants from an area in a period of time, divided per 1,000 inhabitants 

emigration- leaving the country

immigrant- coming into the country.

Mexico- -3.61

United States- 4.32
United Arab Emirates- 22.98
Argentina- 0
Saudi Arabia- -7.6
Uganda- -8.83

Population pyramid is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population,which normally forms the shape of a pyramid.

In order for the population to stay the same the TFR has to be 2.1 


pull factor- something that makes you want to go to a different country.
push factor- something that makes you want to leave the country that you live in.
