Some things I found interesting is that Bangladesh’s average child per woman rate was 2
Another this I found interesting was that how fast the population grew from the 1800s to now
Another thing is that British people are pretty stupid
2) I didn’t know that the population grew as fast as it did
Another thing I didn’t know was that the world hit 1 billion people by the 1800s
Last but not least I didn’t know there was an extreme poverty line
3) no I don’t think, because if so then the world would become overpopulated, and in the video Hans rosling
Said the world would stay at this rate
4) Climate change is also another big issue but if we keep using our energy the way we’re using it, it would be  a lot worse

a) 1. I didn't know that there was such a huge change in fertility rate in the past couple of decades.
2. I didn't know that the population rose by 6 billion people in only 200 years.
3. I did not know that so many countries implemented the two children per family rule to control the population growth.

b) 1. I found intersting that the more educated population of britain has less knowledge about the worlds population growth than the normal population.
2. I found interesting that families that were shown in the video are taking such huge steps towards passing the poverty line.
3. I found interesting that countries like canada and russia have land and resources but such less population but on the other hand countries like bangladesh and nigeria have such less land and very limited resources.

c)No, because earth, like every other planet, has limted resources and land and more population requires more resources but if the population keeps on growing then resources and land will eventually run out which will result in chaos and humanity will cease to exist.

d)To be honest there is no other problem this big because all big problems like world hunger etc. is because of excessive population growth.

The video taught me that the British are not well aware of the current state of the world. Also I was unaware that by 1800 the world population was 1 billion. Also I was unaware that Asian countries are trying to lower their population

Second a few things I found interesting is the rapid population growth, that monkeys are smarter than the British and that we have successfully sustained are self for so long

I think we should not worry about the future we survived this far and did fine.

We should be worried about global warming more.

1. during the video we watched in class, I had three things that I did not know before watching the video. Firstly, I did not know that un the year 1800 the population grew by 1 billion and in hundred years, it grew to 2 billion, then 3 billion. Secondly I did not know that, in Bangladesh, there was around 7 kids per woman with a lifespan less than 50 years. Thirdly, I did not know that some demographers estimated that from 2000 the number of children will not increase.

2. Three things that I founded interesting was that, 80% of the worlds energy used is fossil fuels. Secondly, what I found interesting was the way Hans rosling demonstrated the population on a graph, and explained the death and birth rates. For example, how he showed the population difference in Bangladesh.

3. Think it is possible for the earth to continue at this rate because, if the population rate is so many, most of the people are from poorer families but, have more children. The richest families have more educated but, have less children.
4. There is still polution and global warming that is greatly caused by the growing population of the world. This has caused a dangerous impact on some of the most populated countries like India and China.

# data[].attributes.body
a) The three things I learnt from the video are:
- In 1800 the world population became 1 million
- the average #of children per woman in Bangladesh were 7
-In 2000 more than 2 billion children were born.

b) The three interesting that i thought were interesting about the video were:
- monkeys are smarter than most British
-the average #of children per woman in Bangladesh were 7 now it's 2.2 children per woman
-between 1800 and 1900 the world's population increased by another million.

c) No, I don't think the Earth wouldn't continue at this rate because how before they had predicted that the world would end with 3 billion people. Since the world has 7 billion which is about twice as more , i feel like with this rate the world may end in a few billions of people more.
d) No, i don't think there are larger issues comparing to the world population and population which we are currently dealing with.

1)Three things that I learned:
-Monkeys are smarter than the British.
-I didn’t know that back in the 1800s I thought there would be a big population with 6 kids per family but I didn’t know that 4/6 kids died before the age of 5
-I didn’t know that when poverty is over, climate change will be the next problem

2) 3 Things I Found Interesting:
-What I found interacting was that by the end of the century there will still be 2 billion kids still at the end of the century because of the cycle of where adults die then the kids would grow up and then there will be a new generation of kids
-And the graph that was shown that made me hooked to the movie as there would be high fertility rate and also a low life expectancy
-I was also intreasted when they were talking about how if you get a bike you then want a mother bike and then to a car and how people have to work alot  for what they want as a guy had to save 3 years for a roof for his family

3) Is it possible for Thebes

# data[].attributes.body
1. 3 things I didn’t know before watching the video include almost all girls in Muslim Bangladesh go to school. In 1972 Bangladesh the average children per woman were 7 and their life expectancy was 30, 40 years later births per woman are 2 and their life expectancy is 70. As well as that we are expecting a end of fast population growth by the end of the century.

2. 3 things that I found interesting about the video were by the end of the century we will still have 2 billion children in the world. The Bangladesh government gives money to families who have girls in school to encourage them to stay in school, and Africa is the only continent where the population will continue to grow per time whereas the other continents will eventually stop.

3. I think it is possible for the earth to continue at this rate because girls are now being more encouraged to get an education and seeing as though the solution of population growth is to educate woman over time hopefully population growth will become steady.

4. I think other issues we should be worried about is global warming, yes that is affected by population growth but it is also affected by people in more rural areas such as Pakistan and India where people don’t think before they litter and when there is too much litter they burn it without thinking about the bigger picture. I think we need to educate everyone about the affects of global warming and how they are contributing to it.

a) What were 3 things that you did not know before watching the video?

Before watching the video, I never knew much about how the world stands today and the many factors to it. As Hans Rosling had said, many people judge with preconceived thoughts and I was one of those people as I believed that the world was truly going down and population growth was going to destroy our world. I also did not know about the slowed rate of population growth before the 1800s as the fertility rate was ~5-6 babies per woman, however many of those children did not survive due to their living and health conditions. Continuing with the slowed rate of population growth, I didn’t know how low the population was in the 1800s where the population was only at about 1 billion, and now ~200 years later it has grown by 6 billion people. This really surprised me as I had thought that since the fertility rate was much higher back then, the population would’ve been higher and as the years went on it would’ve decreased, however, it is the other way around.

b) What were 3 things you found interesting about the video?

One thing that I found really interesting about the video was the way Hans Rosling explained his theory/logic and how he had perceived it to his audience. The way he had used the population boxes to show the audience how the number of children in the world would stay the same, even with the death rates and birth rates in our world really was outstanding for me. Another thing that I found dominant was how there are Bangladeshi representatives that go door- to- door to household wives and women to deliver contraceptives. This really stood out for me as I knew that Bangladesh was an undeveloped country and would’ve never expected for there to be a steady government environment where they had representatives delivering medication and remedies to those who couldn’t afford it or didn’t have the time. Lastly, one of the things that I found interesting was the transportation investment cycle that many underprivileged families go through; shoes, bicycle, motorbike, car, and finally planes. This really stood out to me as families like Olivia’s and Andrea’s work so hard every day to make enough money to afford a bicycle so that their family of 8 can transport easily through their village. The way these types of families would work up the cycle really is rather impressive and inspiring.

c) Is it possible for the Earth to continue at this rate?

I think Hans Rosling did a incredible job explaining his theory about how the Earth will not be destroyed as soon as we think as his points are accurate, the fertility rate is decreasing while the death rate is increasing which means a steady population growth. If the fertility rate does continue to stay at 2.5 babies per woman or even lower, then I do think that it is possible for the Earth to continue at this solid rate. Even though there are still countries with high fertility rates such as Niger and Somalia, if these rates continue to make progress just like Bangladesh did then our world isn’t going down anytime soon.

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

When it comes to the leading issues of our world, the list is endless. Climate change, pollution, deforestation, excessive landfills etc. are all major issues in our world that can slowly, bit by bit, decrease the span of life on earth. These issues not only environmentally affects our world but physically as well as air pollution is a leading cause of cancer, deforestation gives humans the lack of oxygen and animals the loss of millions of homes etc. Population Growth is a growing issue that can change our world as a whole, however, these environmental issues can change our world even more drastically.

Three things I did not know while watching the video “Don’t Panic-Hans Rosling Showing the Facts about Population” is that

1. In 40 years Bangladesh went from the the average children of 7 per women to 2.2 and the children's life span also increased to around 70 years. Bangladesh is very densely populated and sometimes what you see isn't always it. There may be a lot of people but it shows that the population is reducing.

2. Following that I also learned that worldwide, within 50 years the average number of children for a woman went from 5 to 2.2 and is still decreasing to this day.

3. Lastly I learned that over 1 billion people in the world are illiterate and a big percentage of that is adults which relatively left me in shock.

Three things I found interesting about the video are

1. Developed families had a much smaller family as well as a longer lifespan while more poor families had much larger families, more people to feed and a shorter life span.

2. That by 2100-1145, 1 billion people with be living in North and South America, 1 billion people in Russia, 4 billion people in Africa and 5 billion in Asia

3. Something as simple as education and a  bicycle can help get people out of extreme poverty because for example a bicycle gives them transportation and they can get places faster as well getting things done at a much faster rate.

Is it possible for Earth to continue at this rate?                                              I think Earth can continue at this rate but we need to make positive changes towards our Earth if we don't want bad things happening in the future. For starters we need to get people out of poverty and simple things like education is important. Education can help them build careers or even start a business and take care/provide for their families. We should also make people aware and educate them on using contraceptives as well as the benefits of having smaller but healthy families. We should also help provide these basic things so women are able to be in control of their own fertility because over 100 million women don't have access to the contraceptives they need. Having smaller families can be so much beneficial towards the world but to your money as well.

Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

Another very large issue is climate change. As humans we produce a lot of air pollution which is leading to global warming (climate change) getting worse as days pass. This problem can create a large amount of other problems one being that climate change is causing rising sea levels meaning that land is slowly getting submerged underwater. We will have less and less land to develop on as the population is developing. This issue can cause extinctions to many animals as well as cause an increase of natural disasters as well as increase the intensity of the natural disasters which can cause a lot of damage if reached on land. Diseases can spread and so on and so forth. In the end we all face human extinction and the end of the world if we didn't start making a change.

a) 1. In the year 1800 the population grew to 1 billion and in another hundred it grew to 2 billion. The population started growing very fast after 1800 because of the industrial revolution and healthcare.
2. In Bangladesh, there were around 7 kids per woman with the lifespan of less than 50 years. Though after the independence, it became 2 kids per woman.
3. In 1800 the population grew slowly because 4 out of 6 children had died. But as healthcare was provided 1 out of 5 children died increasing the population quickly.
b)Three things that I found interesting about the video was that in Bangladesh, the woman who had only two children made that into her career. She goes around her village promoting having fewer children because it saves money and so that they can stabilize their country's birth rate. One of her methods were providing women with contraceptives, for example, birth control pills.  Another thing I found interesting about the Hans Gosling video is that even an economically developed and a highly educated country like Britain couldn’t answer a simple survey. It must have been very humiliating because even students who attend Oxford University were beaten by monkeys in the survey. Lastly, I found it interesting that the poor people would find joy in buying a bicycle when we take advantage of the cars we have. The family in Africa was so happy they could finally afford a bicycle after saving up for several years, but even though we have things like motorbikes and cars in our lives, we always want more.
c) Yes, I believe the world can continue at this rate. In the video it was shown how people are starting to make good decisions. People are growing to realize the population growth and are doing something about it. People are going around trying to help woman and trying to educate them on having smaller families. There are people that are educating adults so they can make the right decisions for their family. This allows the still developing countries to learn more about the world and its population. If developed countries help the still developing countries, it would result in a healthier and more stable population.d
d) we should be concerned about the amount of resources we have. By having an increase in population, we wouldn’t have enough resources in the future for everyone to use, as they will run out. We have more buildings and houses rather than farms and fields to grow crops and vegetables on which will leads us to not have enough of them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
a) Three things I did not know before watching the video were:
1. In the year 1800 the population grew to 1 billion and in another hundred it grew to 2 billion. The population started growing very fast after 1800 because of the industrial revolution and healthcare.
2. In 1800 the population grew slowly because 4 out of 6 children had died. But as healthcare was provided 1 out of 5 children died increasing the population quickly.
3. In Bangladesh, there were around 7 kids per woman with the lifespan of less than 50 years. Though after the independence, it became 2 kids per woman.

b)Three things I found interesting about the video is:
1. Before 1800 the population grew slowly because 4 of 6 children used to die because of the lack in healthcare. But as healthcare was provided 1 of 5 children had died. This allowed the population to grow drastically.
2. I found the growth from 1800-1900a big change. The Industrial revolution and the provided healthcare had a big impact in the growth of the population. The industrial revolution caused the population to go from 1 billion - 2 billion in just 100 years.
3. I also found that the population of children has reached "Peak Child". The population of children will be stable at 2 billion.  In 2000 the world had the beginning of Peak Child.

c) Yes, I believe the world can continue at this rate. In the video it was shown how people are starting to make good decisions. People are growing to realize the population growth and are doing something about it. People are going around trying to help woman and trying to educate them on having smaller families. There are people that are educating adults so they can make the right decisions for their family. This allows the still developing countries to learn more about the world and its population. If developed countries help the still developing countries, it would result in a healthier and more stable population.

d) I don't believe there are other or larger issues than population growth. All other issues such as pollution or poverty are related and caused by population growth. Due to population growth more industries are produced and as more industries are produced there will be more pollution. Population growth is also the cause of poverty. The more people in a family the more money you would need to support them. Population growth is connected and is the cause of other or larger issues.

# data[].attributes.body
a)Three things that I learned from this video were that the population started to grow faster at 1800 when it reached 1billion.Because with the industrial revolution the children survival improved. I also learned that some demographers estimate that from 2000 the number of children in the world will not increase any longer. The world entered into the age of peak child. Lastly, I learned that the overpopulation had caused many problems.Such as climate change,lack of resources,etc.

b)Three things that I found interesting about the video were those who had been to fine British universities even got a worse answer than the chimps. I also found it interesting that the rich people who can travel by an airplane,a car or a motorcycle use almost 80％ of fossil fuels,and the people who can just buy a bicycle only use a few amount of fossil fuels.Lastly I found it interesting that more than half of the world population have been added during recent 60 years.

c)I think it is possible for the Earth to continue at this rate. Because now there are more and more people becoming educated and having small families. And demographers are expecting a “slowing down “and the end of fast population growth at the end of the century. But there is still more than 1 billion people in extreme poverty and there still have a high fertility rate . To rise out of poverty,many poor families are working very hard. They also need help from their government and from the world at large,with things like school,health,electricity,contraceptives and so on. Because there are more and more people,we need more farmlands to provide food . So we should stop wasting farmlands for building cities . We also need to worry about the use of energy.

d)I think the other issues are the climate change(global warming)and the energy issues . Now,the climate change is getting worse. The sea leve is rising and oceans are becoming warmer.If it continues getting worse,it will cause many animals that live in Arctic and Antarctic or other places lose their homes.And some countries such as Maldives may be submerged by the ocean in the future . So we must find some ways to improve it.Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources but we have used a lot of them,even there are still almost 1.2 billion people do not have access to morden energy services. The exploitation of energy also caused environmental pollution . So we need to find some other resources to replace them,such as wind power,solor energy

a) What were 3 things that you did not know before watching the video?

a) Three things that I learned from watching Hans Rosling's documentary are the following:
First, thing I learned as that by 10,000 BC Earth's population was at roughly 1 million people, 1800 1 billion, 1900 2 billion, 2017 7 billion.
Second thing I learned was that the average number of babies per women went from 5 to 2,
and the third thing I learned while watching the video is that the population of kids will stay the same amount (2 billion) for at least 100 years(2100). I also found out Britten are stupid. I'm kidding I already knew that. (just a  joke)

b) what were 3 things you found interesting about the video?

b)Three things that I found interesting about this video is that, there's a women in Bangladesh that's trying to slow the down the population rate in Bangladesh by providing women contraceptives and telling them to stand up to their husbands. second thing is that parents are encouraged to bring their daughters to school and the parents get payed money for that. the third thing I found interesting is that they showed the story about the family in Africa slowly getting richer and, richer because they have to work hard to get something they want, they just got a bike which will get them to their farm faster and in a few years he'll be able to buy a motorbike.

c) Is it possible for the Earth to continue at this rate?

c)Yes, it is possible for the Earth to continue at this rate only if we start educating the young about world problems, reducing pollution, stop littering and caring about the future of the Earth.

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

d) Yes, we should be concerned about other issues like, wars, climate change, destruction of nature, poverty, food and water security and lack of education because these things can be a huge problems towards the human species. If we don't want to go extinct we should try to solve these problems asap.

# data[].attributes.body
a) What were 3 things that you did not know before watching the video?

Three things I did not know before watching the video were that:

1.  In 1963, the average # of children/woman was 5 and only ⅘ would survive.

2. In 1880, the world population became 1 billion and as time went on, it became 7 billion.

3. After the independence, the # of births/woman dropped dramatically to 2 children/woman.

b) What were 3 things you found interesting about the video?

1. It is incredible how chimpanzees got the answers more accurate than the British. The answers would just come out random yet still they managed to get a higher percentage of the right answer.

2. How the human life span had increased from an average of 40 years to now an average of 70 years.

3. I found it interesting how the guy showed us that the population would stable out to 11 billion. I always thought that it was babies and kids that made up the world population but he showed how it is actually adults and the problem is not that there needs to be less children.

c) Is it possible for the Earth to continue at this rate?

It is possible for the Earth to continue at this rate but only if the right decisions are made. If we continue to pollute the earth, keep children away from proper education, and be careless of our present and future, it would just cause more problems that would become difficult to solve. As we become more cautious of our surroundings, the Earth would definitely continue and the human population could live on.

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

We could be the reason for our own extinction. Climate change, pollution, fossil fuels and all the mess that we have created are becoming worse which could one day lead to the extinction of humans if we don’t take action.

-Nitharsana (Nithi)

# data[].attributes.body
a) Three things that I did not know before watching the video is that the earth had reached the population of 8 billion at the year 1800. Scientists had proven that if the population still continued to grow at that rate, the world could no longer hold our capacity; but here we are at 7 billion people. The second interesting fact I learned was that in 1963, the average babies born per woman was five babies. Now that number has decreased to 2.5 babies per woman. Lastly, I learnt, in the year 2000, the child population had become 2 billion; scientists have proven that the child population will remain at this rate for a long while. These are the three interesting facts I have learnt from watching the video of Hans Rosling.

b) Three things that I found interesting about the video was that in Bangladesh, the woman who had only two children made that into her career. She goes around her village promoting having fewer children because it saves money and so that they can stabilize their country's birth rate. One of her methods were providing women with contraceptives, for example, birth control pills.  Another thing I found interesting about the Hans Gosling video is that even an economically developed and a highly educated country like Britain couldn’t answer a simple survey. It must have been very humiliating because even students who attend Oxford University were beaten by monkeys in the survey. Lastly, I found it interesting that the poor people would find joy in buying a bicycle when we take advantage of the cars we have. The family in Africa was so happy they could finally afford a bicycle after saving up for several years, but even though we have things like motorbikes and cars in our lives, we always want more.

c) There is only so much space on earth, and maybe there aren't even enough resources to support all of the human population, but that does not necessarily mean that it is impossible for the earth to continue at this rate. The number of people that are on the planet is not the biggest problem, but it is rather how much each person consumes. Since the population is increasing, we need to build more houses/buildings. Buildings don't make the earth any heavier because the materials were already on the earth, to begin with. In my opinion, it is possible for the earth to continue at this rate, all we need to do is make a few changes to the world. We can start off by stabilizing the fertility rate so we don't have overpopulated countries. This will lead to more money being saved so we can focus on those children getting an education so they too can learn ways to make the planet a better place so more humans can thrive. Better education can lead to children having better knowledge about things, for example, safe intercourse so they don’t get things like STD other health-related issues. With this knowledge, the death rate of the world can decrease and everyone will live a long healthy life. With changes like these, it will be possible for the world to continue.

d) A major issue we should all be concerned about is Global Warming. Its effects on the planet are drastic climate/ temperature changes, a rise in sea levels/floods, an increase in natural disasters, and so much worse. More economically developed countries are going to suffer a bit more than developing countries because global warming and natural disasters are more prone to happen in those areas due to a large number of people who contribute to pollution. MEDCs would suffer floods (whether this is because of a tsunami or rising sea levels), hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme winds and more. These problems are all caused by the excessive production of methane, burning fossil fuels like oil and coal, using chemical sprays like Febreze, smoking and the destruction of trees within biomes eg. rainforests. These are all things that are an obstacle for the earth to continue supporting its population; because if we don't take action fast, the earth will soon just melt away

a) Three things that I did not know before watching the video?

1. In 1880, when the population reached 1 billion, the population rised extremely fast and by the time of 2018, it had reached 7 billion people in that short amount of time.

2. That the Bangladesh government payed residents living in slums to have more children because of the large amount of people that had died because of diseases and natural disasters.

3.  By 2100, the world population is estimated to hit 11 billion people.

b) What were 3 things you found interesting about the video?

1. That students at British universities had more inaccurate answers than the answer of  a chimpanzee

2. That we are at peak children, which means that the child population should now not go over 2 billion.

3. Before the 1800's, the population grew very slowly because of medicine or health care. This resulted in 4 out of 6 children dying in a family.

c) Is it possible for Earth to continue at this rate?
Yes, it is possible for Earth to continue at this rate if everything goes to plan. The way how countries governments and residents are treating overpopulation is hopeful, which will or can lead for this rate to continue.

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?
There are definitely other issues to worry about such as climate change, but I would say that overpopulation is the biggest threat there is. This is because the cause of climate change is because of overpopulation and energy, so that means that if we were to get rid of overpopulation, everything else would fall into place

# data[].attributes.body
a) The three things that I didn’t know before watching this video were:
1. The average rate of children per woman were 7 in Bangladesh and then decreased to 2.
2. The world’s population was near 10 million in 10,000 and then increased to 1 billion in 1800.
3. The child’s survival rate increased from 50 to 70 years.
b) the three things I found interesting about the video were:
1. In 1963, the developed countries had a rate of 4 babies per woman and a lifespan of 80 to 90 while the developing countries had a rate of 8 babies per woman and a lifespan of 60years.
2. How fast the population started to grow and is still growing.
3. The global literacy rate is 84% over past 20 years, so many people know how to read and write.
c) Yes, it’s possible for the earth to grow at this rate as the fertility rate has dropped to 2 children per woman and the lifespan has inscresed to 70 to 80 years. As well as the healthcare system has improved with well educated doctors which leads to finding a cure to certain diseases faster.
d) we should be concerned about the amount of resources we have. By having an increase in population, we wouldn’t have enough resources in the future for everyone to use, as they will run out. We have more buildings and houses rather than farms and fields to grow crops and vegetables on which will leads us to not have enough of them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Three things that I learned throughout the video are some people in Bangladesh can not afford more than 2 kids. I also did not know that Bangladesh on average had 7 kids born per women and 2-3 of those children died.Lastly I learned that in the year 1800 the population grew to 1 million  and in 2000 had grown to 2 million and it continued to stay at 1 million for a while.

2. I found it interesting how most of the fossil fuel is used by the rich people. Another thing that I found was interesting is that developed countries had small families but a longer life, while countries that are not developed have large families but a small life. Lastly I found interesting that rich people can buy planes, cars, motorcycles or anything, while, poor people can not even afford to buy a pair of slippers and they will be so happy if they can get enough money to afford a bicycle  so that they don’t have to walk to their destination.

3. In my opinion I believe that it is possible for the earth to continue at this rate. Even tough there are so many people who are still in poverty (1billion), there are still many who are getting their education reducing the sizes of their family. The billions of people who are educated can help the poor ones get out of poverty and educate them to have less children, then it may be possible for the earth to continue at this rate. Just continuing to decrease the fertility rate can also help the earth to continue at this rate.

4. Yes, I believe that there are  other larger  issues that we should be more concerned about like global warming. Global warming and pollution are basically are a part of the population growth because the more population we have the more pollution we will have. We are so dependent on fossil fuels that we don’t try useing natural light and trying to save energy, instead we just make it worse.

# data[].attributes.body
A) The three thing I learned from this video are in 1800 is when the population reached 1 billion. I learned that before independence in Bangladesh, women gave birth to an average of 7 Babies per a women and the lifespan was 50 years. After the independence the number of birth per women dropped dramatically to 2 babies per women and the life span increase by 20 years, this all happened 40 years ago. I also learned that the people in year 10,000 BC were the first framers to be formed

B) what I found interesting in this video was that the world pin code was (1114) but so will change into 1125 in the year 2050. What I also found interesting was the majority of the pollution is cause by factories that turn fossils into fuel meaning creating fossil fuel. Another thing I found interesting was that Britain, a country that is developed and has way better education unlike other poor countries show poor results in survey, this makes me wonder, even with such good education, they are way off on getting the right answer.

C) Earth can continue at this rate is we make the right decision, if parents put there child's to school or if more school are created in the poor countries, then the literacy rate will for sure increase. Parent should make good choice by limiting the amount of child they will have, if the don't limit the amount of child then the fertility rate will increase and the world  population will change. we need to build more shelter for those who don't have a home in poor countries. Since majority of the fossil fuel is use by the richest billion, poor countries should use renewable energy for example wind, solar and much more.

D) Pollution is a huge problem that can affect everything, pollution is caused by factories, people littering and etc...
The problem that can occur from pollution are global warming and creating a hole in the ozone layer, global warming can create problem like temperature rising, less of winter season and more of summer, changes in precipitation pattern, more droughts and heat waves, hurricanes will become more stronger and intense, sea level will rise and arctic will most likely turn into ice - free. Ozone layer is like a shield for the earth, having a hole in the ozone layer can make meteorites hit Earth directly but if we stop creating pollution, then there is a less chance of global warming and the ozone layer can recover

A. Three things I learned from the video are that the more knowledge you have the less optimistic you become and choose to accept the worse and only focus on the bad things. I then learned more in depth about how the world was changing for the better through all the graphics. The last thing I learned was that the most damage to the environment and planet and well being of others is caused by the richer people.
B. Three things I found interesting in the video were that the some of the smartest people had been beaten by monkeys in a survey about that state of the world. Another thing was interesting was that the total population will stable out at 11 billion and the child population is already stabled out at 2 billion. The last interesting thing was how some people in the money scale were past airplanes and onto traveling to the moon.
C. If the rate of population change stopped changing and we countined to at the current rate without the change in decrease we would continue to grow and not stable out meaning we would not be able to survive because we continuouslyneed more resources which we are already running out of.
D. a) I think that they aren't other problems that are more important because all the problems that seem very important like gobal warming and the unpredictable weather patterns, the food and water problems all are connected to population and even though that seems like a very big problem and we have to solve many, many, many smaller problems we are already very close to cornering it because the brith rate now is 2.5 and all we need to get a stable population is a brith rate 2.1 and once we stable out our population all the other major problems will also start stabling out too and we will have an easier time dealing with them because humans caused/created all the major problems in the first place so if we can slove our population problems we can more easily solve the rest.
D. b) I think that they are other bigger problems other than are population because every problem is interconnected and the same argument could be made for all the other problems since our population is going down already so if we leave the population alone we can start focusing on bigger problems like unstable weather patterns so we can save more lives and become better protected from these natural disasters. Leaving the population alone and working on the other major problems will allow us have a faster and stronger power/ start on solving the other problems than to deal with a problem that is basically solving itself.
D. c) Because I agree with both options, I have written them both down because I couldn't decide which one I should to choose do.

1. The first thing I learned through the video was that Africa has a higher rate of poverty. Surprisingly, I always thought that because of the dense population in Asia, there would be even more extreme poverty. Secondly, I learned that in Bangladesh the average number of children that each family has, is 2. Bangladesh was in my opinion, a country with less development and facilities. I thought that the average number of children in each household born would be about 4. The third thing I learned through the video of Hans Rosling, was that other than just the U.K and U.S other countries such as India and China are reaching a state where a good amount of development is happening.

2. Three things I found interesting in this video was that how much global warming and climate changes affect our lives daily and how much we depend on it. Without energy, we wouldn’t have been able to come so far in developing each country. I also found it interesting how when the bike was bought by the man, he decided to start saving up for a bike. A change can also bring a difference in people’s lives. Finally, I found it interesting to see the little girl in Bangladesh have such awesome and big dreams. She had so much support from her family and even if the society norms are different, they are determined to bring a change in the people living in Bangladesh by increasing the usage of contraceptives, and education amongst girls.

3. Yes, the world can continue at this rate, in my opinion. To let it continue, it’s important to constantly bring positive changes on the Earth. The way contraceptives are starting to slowly be used in small, developing countries such as Bangladesh, gives us hope for betterment and stability. Better education and awareness in countries to girls and boys will provide a better living standard by giving couples the choice to have kids and the amount of kids. If developed countries such as the U.S and the U.K help other countries with higher poverty rates such as Bangladesh and Africa, it would be a huge help to them and the overall growth of the world. If they don’t have the support and good facilities such as healthcare, it will lead the countries to higher death rates, higher birth rates and higher immigration rates.

4. One major issue that we all should be concerned about is poor healthcare in developing countries. Mostly, there are more diseases and viruses spreading in developing countries and many of them don’t have the cure. There is no place for the people living in such countries to really go and it’s increasing the death rates in countries. It is also increasing the poverty rate because if there is a treatment, it’s most probably not free for the people who go through the sickness and their funds all have to be spent on their treatment. Countries that are able to bring a change aren’t much interested in knowing what’s happening in smaller and developing countries. The higher rates of population mostly come from developing countries and in order to balance the rate of birth and deaths in all countries, it’s important to pay more attention to countries that have most of the world’s population, other than countries like India and China. - Hansi

a) What were 3 things that you did not know before watching the video?

1. I did not know that the world's population was around 10 million in 10 000 BC and reached 1 billion in 1800.

2. I was unaware of the fact that in Bangladesh during 1972 it was 7 babies per woman and that it drastically changed to 2.2 babies per woman around 40 years later.

3. I also didn't know that there were 2 billion children in 2000 and it has stayed at 2 billion ever since.

b) What were 3 things you found interesting about the video?

1. The thing I found most interesting was the world pin code (1114) and that by 2050 it would be 1125.

2. I also found the fact that 80% of the energy the world uses is fossil fuels interesting and that almost all of the fossil fuels used is by the richest billion.

3. I also found the fact that the surveys results were so poor interesting because you’d expect an educated country like Britain to be aware about the world but they were far from the correct answer.

c) Is it possible for the Earth to continue at this rate?

After watching the video, I do think that it is possible for the Earth to continue at this rate. As was shown in the video, people all around the world are becoming more educated and are having smaller families. The population growth rate is also expect to slow down by the end of the century.  However, there are still more than 1 billion people around the world that are still in extreme poverty and if the rest of the world doesn’t contribute to help end it then we will never become better. We should also starting using more renewable energy sources such as solar and wind instead of fossil fuels so that we don’t make climate change worse than it already is.

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

As I briefly mentioned before, climate change (global warming) is a big issue and most people ignore it. If we don’t hold ourselves accountable and make a change in the way we use energy than it might be an end to the world as we know it. Climate change is getting worse and worse every day and if it continues getting worse it will lead to the extinction of many of the animals and plants that are on the earth today as well as places like Florida going underwater because of the melting glaciers.

a) Three things that I learned from watching the video was that the population started to grow at a faster rate and reached a billion in 1800 due to a drastic improvement in healthcare which helped increase the child survival rate. I also learned that since healthcare is very advanced now more seniors on average are likely to survive approximately 10-15 years more. Lastly I learned that most of the major problems that are occurring are due to overpopulation (eg; Sickness and spreading of diseases, higher crime rate)

b) Three things that I found interesting were how fast the population started to grow and made a huge increase in the past years. Also I found it interesting how the the global literacy rates of the world have been rising and have been increased from  75% to 84% over past 20 years. Lastly I found out how over 3 billion people live in extreme poverty and live on about $2 per day.

c) I think it is possible for Earth to continue at this rate because now, we can see huge a improvement in the fertility rate in countries like Bangladesh, if we provide them with proper contraceptives. Now since there are more expenses to cover Earth will grow at a slower rate, dropping the fertility rates to 2 or less children per women. We should also pay close attention to how much space and money we waste on building architecture, we should take note if the population continues to grow even at a slower rate we will eventually need more farms to provide food for our families.

d) I don’t think Earth is facing any other larger global issues other than the high increase population growth because it is main cause of other leading issues because of overpopulation the sickness and the spread of diseases is much faster, it causes world hunger because most of the space is used for housing and buildings therefore less space for farmland and overpopulation is also the main cause of global warming and pollution.

a) Three things I learned from watching this video was that our population can increase and be 11 billion in just 2100 which was interesting to me. The second thing I learned was that there are more adults that make up the world's population which was really unexpected. Lastly, I learned that many of the world's problems are being created because of the rising population and how quickly our population is increasing without the proper resources to fund everyone.
b) I found it interesting how the richer people who can afford to get a plane ticket, a car and a motorcycle use half of the fossil fuels, while people who can't afford all of that only use a small amount of fossil fuels. I also found out that the population was only 3 billion in 1960 but it increased by over 4 billion in only about 80 years which was very interesting/appealing to me. Lastly, I found interesting how all problems in the world such as pollution and global warming is caused because of the increasing population.
c) In my opinion, I think that it could be possible for the earth to be continuing at this rate by making a few small changes in the world such as lowering the fertility rate of countries with a high fertility rate and everyone should be provided education so they can make their own choices and become independent. Another key point would be to get more farmland and stop wasting precious farmland and building cities over them, we would need many more farms in order to provide food for the increasing population. Lastly, everyone in the world should at least be earning 10 dollars per day in Africa to provide for their families depending on the size of the family and the needs of the family.
d) I really doubt there is any other issue bigger than the increasing population of the world because the increasing population leads to almost all of the problems on the planet such as global warming and poverty.~ Gurjap.K

a. Three things that I learned from the video are that the more education people receive they less they become optimistic about the future.

c) Is it possible for the Earth to continue at this rate?

d) Are there other or larger issues that we should be more concerned about? Why?

# data[].attributes.body
a) During the video we watched in class, one thing that I learnt was that, the government in Bangladesh pays parents with young girls, a large sum of money to get them to send the girls to school to be further educated. After or during schooling, the young girls wish to be married at the age of 25 after finding a good job instead of at 14 as a housewife. Bangladesh is not a very wealthy country and for the government to be paying for girls to get an education, it must really mean something very big. The second thing I learnt while watching the video was that, the children in Bangladesh are taught that having a larger family means spending more and the hardships that come along with it. They are told that the smaller your family is, it will be easier although having a large family will make you feel happier. The third fact that I observed while watching the video, was that Africa has a booming economy. It is very sad that this is something I had just learnt, but I have always thought of Africa just being a poor country. The hospitals in Africa have had an extraordinary transformation is staff along with new technology and machinery.

b) While watching the video, the first piece of information that stuck out to me was that, government employees go door to door delivering contraceptives and explain why adults should use them instead of just saying another kid won’t hurt. ⅕ kids would die because of the lack of attention, nutrition, and safety. I would have never thought of people going house to house just to give them contraceptives because of their lack of knowledge. The second thing that I found interesting was that, monkeys would guess a percent of something at random and at chance. But still manage to me more correct than university students and adults. When I first heard that monkeys would be right in comparison to humans, my mind was blown because humans have the advantage of schooling and an education. The last piece of information I thought was interesting was that, we can avoid the worst possible in general including population growth as long as rich people share with the poorer and less fortunate. Meaning that blaming people in poverty for things like pollution and such, when in reality it is the rich themselves.

c) I think that the world can continue at the rate it is going at right now as long as people follow simple rules and be more cautious of the environment the they are right now. For example, littering would be stopped, carpooling would be more encouraged and everything would not be do energy consuming. By continuing with the efforts of stabilizing fertility rates and the use of contraceptives and such, for the world to go on as it is now, will not be as hard as it was in previous years.

d) One really big issue that we should focus on is the use of fossil fuels in our world. Soon the fossil fuels will run out and could be the cause of wars, deaths, outbreaks, etc. Creating more issues with safety. By using natural sources as fuels for machinery and devices, the use of fossil fuels would go down by an enormous amount creating the issue to go slow down.
