The article provides three causes of the decline in the number of children being born.
The first cause is the reduction of mortality. If fewer children die at their youngest age, parents naturally don't need to have more babies so that more of them would survive. Also, there isn't an emotional need to "fill the void" after the death of an infant. This is the so-called risk and mortality factor.
The second cause of fertility decline is the so-called economic-and-investment model, which means how wealthy the families are, and how capable they are of distributing resources among their children. For example, owing or not owing farmland was proved to be one of the very important factors in predicting the fertility rates in a society.
The third cause is the cultural transmission, that is, the transmission of the cultural model of small families with fewer children. This transmission happens via education. However, this conclusion is not enough; education is a bridge between the cultural transmission and economic-and-investment model, as it leads to better social and financial status.
Living in the bubble of suburban [City], my family was treated like a blemish on its pristine surface. A house with a black father and white mother, along with a handful of mixed kids, easily stood out in our predominantly white neighborhood. Though some families talked about us, and never to us, my father always reinforced the importance of our lineage and helped immerse me in our culture.
Our family comes from a small village in upper Egypt; its proximity to Sudan and prevalence of Nubian lifestyles created a melting pot of cultures that encapsulates my identity as a first-generation Muslim African American. Although kids made fun of my skin tone and practices, my father taught me to be proud to emphasize the African in being African American. My peers’ derogatory comments and terrorist jokes were so common I became desensitized to the insults. And though I spoke out against their hateful rhetoric, my words seemed only to bounce off the Kevlar vest that is ignorance. It wasn’t until years later, while working on an election campaign, that I found the solution.
A state representative had asked me to stand a few feet farther from the door than the typical distance of my white coworkers while canvassing door-to-door because my dark skin could scare off potential voters. In that moment, she treated me not like the seasoned campaign veteran I was, or even as a person, but as a liability. I pulled the campaign manager aside and talked to him about the representative’s crass comments; from that day forward I helped to advise the campaign on diversity and inclusion issues. Learning about these topics allowed our staff to understand the issues facing underrepresented members of the community, and thus allowed us to better represent the entire district.
That experience taught me the power of education in changing people’s perceptions and led me to use my positions as a platform for diversity issues. As a debater, I promoted racial and ethnic understanding in round by reading from Afro-pessimism or Afrocentricity to broaden my opponent’s perspective. While chief justice of the Student Government Supreme Court, I worked with the student president to create a proposal for a mandatory diversity and equity class that would later be presented to the Faculty Senate.
I am proud of my African background and black ancestry as it has given me the opportunity to shape the outlook of people I meet. Skin tone and religion do not justify malicious behavior, which is why I strive to educate as many people as possible to create a world more accepting of all identities.
i tried hope i helped
Explanation:
The reason hun is because Shakespeare uses an early form of the English language. There are a few differences between today's English and Shakespeare's Early Modern English. He uses words such as thee, thy, lord, thou, art, etc which is complicated for us to understand. Also, many of Shakespeare's plays were written in iambic pentameter which makes his writings much more difficult to interpret. Another thing is that he invented new words in his writings, over 1,000 words he invented.
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. Look at these appositive<span> examples, all of which rename insect: The insect, a cockroach, is crawling across the kitchen table.

I think it is an appositive phrase, but it has been a long time since I've done this.
