sep. 15: population policy ...continued...

9/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Today's Check-in:
How does preparation, impact and response to Hurricane Irma in Caribbean and U.S. and Monsoon rain flooding in South Asia confirm and/or challenge our ideas of DTM?
​
We will continue to discuss population policy.  Towards the end of class you will complete the Formative FRQ on early key issues (where do people live? Why is the world population increasing? Why do we see differences in population in different areas of the world?).

For today's class, let's take a look at a few news articles discussing some specific population issues select countries may be facing:
Current Population Issues Needing Policy to Address:
  • Parenthood Policies in Europe (BBC News)
  • Overpopulation in Bangladesh: A Time Bomb Ticking (Article, The Financial Express, 2013)
  • China's Twilight Years  (Article, The Atlantic, June 2016)
  • India's Population Rise Puts it On Course for Rapid Growth (Article, The Independent, 2015)
Historic Population Policy:
  • The Nazi Racial State - Third Reich (BBC History article)
  • U.S. Eugenic Laws in 1960’s forced sterilization of 60,000 people (HuffPost article)
  • Payment to Eugenics Victims in North Carolina, USA - People of Color Targeted in Policy (NPR article)

Sep 13: doubling time, population pyramids & why/how they are used

9/13/2017

0 Comments

 
Today we will take a look at Doubling Time calculations -- how they are useful and what their limitations/weakness are; we will also do the same for Population Pyramids.

We then will catch up and watch the NOVA population videos (part 1: India and Part 2: Japan).
Helpful Resources for today's class:

  • Interpreting Population Pyramids (Google Slides)
  • Population Pyramid Examples (Google Slides)
  • PopulationPyramid.net
  • ABC-CLIO - World Geography (use school username/password -- can find this by going through Library Resource Databases in Schoology)

HW: Study for Formative FRQ on Friday, sep 15

To prepare for the Unit 2 Formative FRQ #1 (early key issues/questions for Population), please work on the study guide. 
The Chapter study guide has been placed in your APHG Drop folder.
Focus on completing sections of the study guide for Key questions/issue #1 and #2 and #3.  
You will not need to know how to calculate Doubling Time or read Population Pyramids, or read the DTM, but understanding these models and how they help us answer the key issue questions is potentially helpful. You will be tested on Doubling Time, Population Pyramids and DTM at a later date--not Friday. For Friday, focus on patterns and trends with population distribution and demographic dynamics (complexity of factors and conditions that can affect where people live and the rate at which a population increases or decreases). Consider examples we've focused on (Japan, Singapore, India, etc.)
The FRQ will require you to know how to respond to the key issues:
  • Where is the world's population distributed?
  • Why is global population increasing?
  • Why does population growth vary among regions?
If you need a more thorough review of the key questions/issues, there are tutorial videos on the APHG course Unit 2 webpage  -- these videos explain concepts for each key issue and possible answers to the key questions. 
  • Tutorial Video: Chapter 2  (Rubenstein) - Key Issue 1: Where is the World's Population Distributed? (Andrew Patterson Educational Channel)
  • Tutorial Video - Chapter 2  (Rubenstein) - Key Issue 2: Why is Global Population Increasing?  (Andrew Patterson Educational Channel)

9/11/2017

Today we will focus on Fouberg Chapter 2 Key Question, "why do populations rise or fall in a particular place?".
We will look at the Demographic Transition Model (DTM), and compare population theories (Malthus vs. Boserup) and discuss what critics say about Malthus and the DTM.

Sep 7: Population policies - case study: singapore

9/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Today, we will go over your results on the MCQ and FRQ. Afterwards, we will play another round of GapMinder games -- today is a horse race!
We will then discuss the 4 homework questions as it relates to understanding population growth and decline and policy decisions governments make to grapple with the population challenges they may face that affect all aspects of society (infrastructure, economics, resources, governance, etc.)

For this, we will then focus on Singapore-- it is where we are living so why not understand a bit more of what allows MOST of us at SAS to be here. Yes, population policies affect the lives of expats.

  • DTM - Demographic Transition Model explained - BBC GCSE test prep
