At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the mid 1700s, the world’s human population grew by about 57 percent to 700 million. However, if a population is increasing, but cities can't meet the increased demand of limiting factors such as food, water, and shelter, the population numbers will level off or even fall again (http://classroom.synonym.com/did-industrial-revolution-affect-human-population-size-7995.html )

Life expectancy at birth during industrial revolution:]]> 2017-09-13 18:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187308391 Group 1 - Alex Whitlinger, Sean Calagday, Jack Diel, Dylan Barr https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187308506 Limited Resources:
food, Oil, Coal, Fresh Water, Diamonds, Emeralds, Phosphorus, Natural Gas
Limited resources are resources that can not be replenished. Necessary resources such as  fresh water are diminishing rapidly, therefore increasing the death rate. In the future, the possibility of a population decrease is high, since the water supply is scarce. Another limited resource is oil. Oil is a very valuable resource for transportation, and without it, transportation would be much different than it is today. Although oil supplies are diminishing by the minute,  it is extremely high on demand, meaning oil is cheap. https://newsela.com/read/elem-sci-natural-resources/id/29470

Introductory Sentence: 
With a new era of technology arriving, the human race has entered the digital age. Some people are skeptical about the more people depend on technology in our daily lives, but one thing is certain- the human population is getting bigger.  Xenotransplantation, predicting deathly diseases and how to stop them, as well as advancements in agricultural transportation are just a few components helping us grow. ]]> 2017-09-13 18:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187308581 Group 5:Disease https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187308727 Zach Grudynski

     Disease increases death rates and decreases birth rates. Disease decreases the population in size.
Globally, the number of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases increased by 41% between 1990 and 2013, climbing from 12.3 million deaths to 17.3 million deaths. Over the same period, death rates within specific age groups dropped by 39%, according to an analysis of data from 188 countries. Death rates from cardiovascular diseases were steady or fell in every region of the world except Western sub-Saharan Africa, where the rates increased.
http://www.healthdata.org/news-release/deaths-cardiovascular-disease-increase-globally-while-mortality-rates-decrease
With the implementation of health improvements, infectious and parasitic diseases were gradually controlled, and the morbidity and mortality rates of maternal diseases were reduced. In recent years, chronic diseases and accidental injuries have emerged as the major factors influencing life expectancy.

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
  • Heart disease: 633,842
  • Cancer: 595,930
  • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 155,041
  • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 146,571
  • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 140,323
  • Alzheimer’s disease: 110,561
  • Diabetes: 79,535
  • Influenza and Pneumonia: 57,062
  • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 49,959
  • Intentional self-harm (suicide): 44,193

  1. Migration and global travel – As it becomes more common for people to travel throughout the world, it also becomes easier for diseases to travel with them. An outbreak in one region that would have otherwise been contained can move into other uninfected regions when infected people travel or relocate to these areas.
  2. . For example, the West Nile Virus is spread by mosquitoes (the vector). As the climate changes, the disease carrying mosquitoes are able to move into regions where they previously could not survive, thus affecting new areas. Additionally, as global temperatures increase, so do the conditions under which many of these carriers flourish.

This is an example of a diseases causes.

These are the most common diseases worldwide.


Ultimately there will always be diseases worldwide and decreasing the human population slowly, even if we find a cure to them they can mutate into another threat.

Introductory Sentence: Climate change affects the birth rate in the world  by decreasing it because for men exposure to extreme heat can negatively affect semen quality and testosterone, and in women it could have an impact on menstruation, ovulation and implantation of fertilized eggs.      . Climate change also causes "The Greenhouse Effect" which is the evidence that humans are putting more fossil fuels into the atmosphere. Once these fossil fuels are in the atmosphere they trap heat which eventually warms the planet up.Climate change increase the death rates by affecting the clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food, and secure shelter causing resources to be limited and humans to die faster.]]> 2017-09-13 18:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187309088 Group 2: Medicine https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187309145 Paulina D'Anna

Medicine lowers the death rate by extending the human life span. When we did not have modern medicine people died at an earlier age, but now we are living at older ages and are much healthier with advances in our health care. People with unhealthy diets are exposed to a shorter life span.]]> 2017-09-13 18:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187309145 Group 6- Natural Disaster https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187318003 Allison Petty

One robot sees the error in their ways, and convinces the others that what they are doing is wrong. Due to his rally, they begin turning these buildings back into trees, but they are seen by their boss,  A larger, more menacing robot. This boss then kills the robot whom originally created the rally, and simultaneously transforms all remaining trees back into buildings, and rolls away with the remaining workers. Then it is revealed that the killed robot had in his hand a seed, which then plants into the ground and sprouts as a small sapling.

There are about 120,000 people in ,only, the United States that are on a waiting list for an organ transplant. These are not easy to find and there is a process to go through to even just get on the waiting list. 22 people die everyday as they are waiting for an organ transplant. Now doctors and scientists are saying that there is a way to use pigs organs to substitute for humans organs. This process is called xenotransplantation. In the video linked below ,by SciShow, Hank Green is talking about how pigs and humans have similar genetics. The human body produces a protein called human leukocyte antigen "HLA " that sticks to each cell. And everyone produces a different kind of HLA and its hard to match organ donors with the person receiveing the organ. So scientists and doctors have used pig heart valves which do not need to be alive to be used. There is such a low risk with using these for people with heart failures. But there still is a little risk for people who do not take to the heart valves and doctors have figured out how to solve this issue too. The galactose-alpha 1,3 galactose that pigs produce is what is causing the human body to not take the valve. Now that doctors have solved that problem you would think that would just stop there but they didn't. Now they are trying to find a way to use pig organs for people who need organs. Technology today is helping increase the population. ]]> 2017-09-13 19:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187328549 Group 7: https://padlet.com/lciccoma/P3HumanPop/wish/187328628 As of 2011, the human population exceeded seven billion people! Although the human population has been around this size for most of us for our entire lives, the population has not always been so large. 
The Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in Earth’s ecology and humans’ relationship with their environment. The Industrial Revolution dramatically changed every aspect of human life and lifestyles. The impact on the world’s psyche would not begin to register until the early 1960s, some 200 years after its beginnings. From human development, health and life longevity, to social improvements and the impact on natural resources, public health, energy usage and sanitation, the effects were profound.
