Today in class we talked a little about the test and how Mr. Schick would not have them graded until Monday. Rosemary and Megan still needed to take their tests anyway. The rest of the class we started a new chapter and kicked in off by talking about population. We said how right now the Earth has about 7 billion people on it and how the population is going to keep increasing by about 73 million people a year. There were a few points about breaking down that number into per day, per hour, per minute, and per second that aren't really needed in my blog today. We also talked about the places these people are coming from: 90% of population growth takes place in developing countries of Africa, South and East Asia, Latin America. Another topic e hit was life expectancy. Life Expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born the same year. We concluded that women tend to have a longer life expectancy than men because men have the more deadly jobs like, coal mining, navy, army, lumber jacking. Yes, there are some woman in these fields, but we can all agree that most of these jobs are done by the men.
