Population Grows!

The population is growing immensely! Today, during first mod (which is probably the worst mod especially on a Monday when you rather be home sleeping) we talked about immigration, emigration, population, and a lot of other things. There are 7 billion people on this earth as I type. During the minute it took me to type all of this, about 250 babies were born! I would like to congratulate all the happy parents out there! Anyways, I was talking about the population growing. This rate will keep growing unless we have a Hunger Games (but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that!) We also talked about immigration and emigration. Immigration is the number of people going and entering another country perhaps for a better life. Emigration the number of is leaving a country. For this to happen there are push forces and pull forces. Push forces are things like civil wars, low employment, or religious/ethnic persecution. Pull forces are things like better economy, better health services, religious freedom, and political freedom. There is still a lot to learn about population and I look forward to discussing more about this topic.
