Demography

For twenty-two seasons Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) has showcased some of the most notable, controversial or even forgotten celebrities of the year. And while at first glance, the cast seems to represent rather diversified demographics, not all demographics are represented equally. There are three demographics to consider in the show: age, ethnicity and gender. While for the most part, these groups have remained consistent in terms of numbers throughout the years, the ratio of contestants who…

Topic: Social Determinants of Rural Women’s Health for Heart Disease Introduction Heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Australian women (Crouch & Wilson, 2011) and is found to be highest for populations living in remote rural regions of South Australia (SA Atlas, 2015). This paper analyses the patterns and trends in this population group and the different social determinants and lifestyle behaviours that can affect women’s health. Heart disease remains the leading…

The warfare was extremely usual during 16th to 18th centuries in Europe, the average percentage years under the warfare is 89 %, that means there were 89 years under warfare in any of these three centuries. Along with the wars, there were plague and diseases outbreak Europe. All these indicate a high mortality in the early middle ages, and Europe’s income per capita had risen sharply during that time. The article explains the fast development of Europe via Malthusian model, and compares it to…

At an average rate it would take about 32 years to count to 1 billion, and over 230 years to count to 7.3 billion. There are currently 7.3 billion people living on this planet, so try putting that number into perspective. For years the thought of the growing human population exceeding earth’s capacity and number of resources able to sustain human life, has created this fear of “overpopulation.” Yet history has repeatedly proved that human capabilities far exceed the natural limits of…

It reminded me that even when we are young and growing, our internal clock is still ticking down from the very second your born. Although this may seem like a sad and depressed way to think about it is really not. Mortality is something that no one enjoys thinking about, and it is proven in different social cognition studies that contemplating our own mortality can threaten our Self-Esteem. But, apart of life is death and this should only make you strive for a good life. Aside from that, the…

It is said that the human population growing like never before due to the fact that every twelve years, one billion people are being added to the planet. At that rate, there is roughly 220,000 people added per day, and by the year 2030, we would need two earths to be able to sustain our lifestyle (Overpopulation: Causes). With the environment constantly changing, there are new problems that arise with it. As the problem we face increases, the need to be aware of our surroundings also increases.…

Paramecia, unicellular cilliated protozoa, usually are ovoid and elongated. They widespread in brackish environments and freshwater. Length of the species are various ranging from 50 micrometers to 330 micrometers. They feed on yeasts, algae, and small protozoa which are captured by them through phagocytosis, devouring a particle by “wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a food vacuole” (Campbell and Reece 2011). They also serve as the models for the study of basic biological…

Our lesson begins with how our food production has developed, and, as doing so, how we destroyed the environment. One of the most prominent study on population was done by Tomas Robert Malthus. Born in 1766, he argued that since the rate of population growth and food supply growth are different, there will be more people than food. Fundamentally, he is claiming that food supply determines the population. This theory was the base that lead to Social Darwinism. However, Ester Boserup disagreed.…

Gerontologists refer to young old people as 65 years old age to 74 years of age (Novak 34). As for people who are 75 years old to 85 years old, are considered old-old. People who are 85 years and older are considered the oldest-old. These oldest-old people are different from the elderly population in many ways. A few differences include, lower incomes, multiple chronic conditions, and are growing to be biggest population among the elderly age groups. The geriatric population is growing and…
