1810-1948 Population Video

Today in class, we watched another video about population. The video was called Hans Rosling: 200 years in 4 minutes. The guy, Hans Rosling, teaches us about global health. He talks about visualizing using his hands. In 1810, the population and the income that you made was low. The life expectancy was 40 years and the income was $4,000. Over the years, the population and income increased to 75 years old and $40,000. In the beginning, all of the countries were low with population and income because of the two main things. Number 1 is that this population count took place after World War II because many men died. Number 2 is that the Spanish flu epidemic spread all over. The Spanish flu epidemic was like the black plague in its time. The continents that thrived with population in 1948 are Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa. Tomorrow we have a quiz tomorrow on population and Mr. Schick told us that there will be a teacher/ moderator for class tomorrow.
