life and death

Today in class was a deeper discussion then usual. We talked about the world and how we have a population of over 7.6 billion. We also learned how 90% of the birth rate right now comes from developing countries such as Africa and India. I think it’s sad how a lot of these births are because women in these countries don’t have the ability to be education about the topic or are able to get birth control. Another reason is pressure to have boys instead of girls ,so people will have abortions just because it’s a girl. I hope the economy of these places get better so people all around the world can have a good education and know about these things like we so here in the United States. A creepy thing we learned is that every 11 seconds someone dies but every second 2.5 people are born. It’s also cool how we have a census that tracks are population very well and they put it on a website so we can look at it. The population is a crazy thing and we are just starting our unit on it.
