Stacts of the U.S.

We are currently working on the growth rate of the World, but I will cover the United States, and the factors that limit our growth. In recent years our life expediencies had increased from in 69.9 in 1960 to 78.11 in 2010, this one is just estimated, and the different between men and women have shrunk slightly. The majors causes of death, such as cancer and HIV/AIDS, have dropped in the states. Doctors say that this could be due to the knowledge of how they can get diagnosis and how to get proper treatment for it. Also the availability of the information and how to tell if they need a doctor's help, even the small things, can be easily found. But anything that we get rid of, such as an illness, will be replaced with something new, such as the over availability of food has caused people to eat more and developed newer (or not as common as in the 20th century) illness. This is also shows just how people adapt to their environment and use technology to help solve some of our problems.

Death Rates

We did a packet on population growth, population distribution, and population density. Population growth is the rate of growth of the locations area, and population distribution is where all that population is located. Of coarse everyone knows China is a highly populated country, although its a serious issue. Some families are paid to not have children, just because their population growth rate is going up, the China is running out of land to provide for all the people. The current population is roughly around 6.8 billion people, and counting as of the year 2010. Over 300 years the human population growth has sky rocketed greatly. We also learned the different population growth rates of different countries such as Hungary, India, Madagascar, and even the US. The US population growth rate is exactly 1%, and we have 314.7 Million people living here as well. Population plays a big factor in everything we do, you learn about that in the next blog! :)

life expectancy

The life expectancy rate has steadily increased in the last fifty years worldwide. In the United States the average life expectancy in 1960 was 69, in 2008 average life expectancy was 78. The world wide average life expectancy in 1960 was 52, in 2008 average life expectancy was 68.

Infant death rate in the United States in 1970 for every 1000 birth there are 20 deaths, in 2009 for every 1000 birth there are 6 deaths. Infant death rate worldwide in 1970 for every 1000 birth there are 95 deaths, in 2009 for every 1000 birth there are 43 deaths.

World population doubled from 1960 to 2010, the rate of increase of the United States was slightly then that, but still increasing. In all probably the future should bring not in population, but a population that lives longer then the previous generation.

Death rates are down and dropping.

The death rates have dropped a lot over the last few years thus its raising the life expectancy. For men it’s 75.4 and 80.5 this is about a few years longer then I was 10 years ago. Many things have dropped to make this happen some of those things are, homicide is down, cancer deaths are down, heart disease is down. Although cancer and heart disease are still the highest death rate there is. Although about 40 years was the life expectancy years ago was about 40 for men, this was do that they had dangers work and disease they had to worry about unlike today where a lot of stuff was don’t for you. The population in people over 75 is .6% of our total population.
This number is said to double over the next 50 years. The gap of the years in between men and women is decreasing. Scientist says its do to better medicine and smarter patients. They also say that we are exercising more and being more active, but we are still getting fatter. This is what our country is known for most of the time is being fat, not for being a powerful country. Men will start living longer as well as females. But women will most likely stay on top of who lives longer.

Keeping our World Healthy

Today we watched a video in class about the decreasing death rates due to citizens getting better health care, eating right, being more cautious, and just doing everything they can to live longer. The numbers are down for many health problems like, diabetes, cancer, aides, and many others. In the early years of the United States people changed from hunters and gathers to farmers. They produced more crops and in result lived longer due to the nutritional health. One major reason why people back then ended up living longer is because of the Industrial Revolution, more machines were being made and more workers were needed and got paid for their work. That pay went to feeding their family and making sure they were healthy. Sanitary actions were also discovered during the Industrial Revolution and made living conditions ten times better.

We had a worksheet that we did earlier this week and on that worksheet is a graph showing different countries in the world and their annual population growth rate and population size. China's population size is 1345.8 million but the population growth rate is only 0.6%. To me that means that China has a large amount of people in the country but there also not gaining a lot of people. Their population is almost just standing still. Madagascar's population is only 19.6 and their growth rate is a whopping 2.6%. Madagascar is growing very rapidly. The whole world is trying to make efforts to decrease the death rates and that's what I think will really help the population size. Babies will always be born until the end of time so I think we should focus on keeping everyone as healthy as can be to keep them alive as long as possible.

Death Rates are down!!!!

The death rates are down in every way possible. The police have said that they have seen death rates drop in homoicides and in car wrecks. In the United States the HIV/AIDS death rates are down also, but in Africa for example the HIV/AIDS death rates are increasing instead of decreasing. The average life span for a typical man is 75 the average life span for a typical female is around 80 years old. The average man is said to quit smoking and see more birthdays. Heart disease and Cancer are still to this day is the mostly deadly thing around, those two things still have the highest death rates even though they have decreased some also.

By the year 2050 the people over 75 is suppose to double and the life span is going to get longer for men. The gap of the years in the between men and women in decreasing. Scientist say it's do to better medicine and smarter patients. The doctors are also saying that people are working out more often and and staying in shape better. The senior citizens of the nation are running more often and working out as well.

Terracycling at the courthouse

This week I made a terracycle box to put at the courthouse. You can put anything in this box that is terracycleable such as chip bags, drink pouches, cookie wrappers, and many other things. I also went to the couthouse and presented to the Extension office about terracycling and planet green. Mr. Davidson was really impressed with the actions that the greenteam here at EJSHS are taking. Mr. Davidson also told me that he would help us contiune recycling and terracycling. But there are many different boxs all around the town at different businesses and you can find any of them and drop off your terracyclable goods.
