Answer:

Fertility

The human female is generally fertile from early teens to about mid forties. The human male generally remains fertile throughout adulthood, though sperm count and quality diminish from middle-age onward (http://www.guardian.co.uk/societyaccessed 10 July 2008).

In the absence of a conscious effort to control the size of families, the larger the fraction of the population who are in the fertile age range the more rapid will be the population growth, and this will influence the average age of the population structure towards the younger end of the spectrum.

In terms of populations rather than individuals, fertility is usually expressed using the proxy measure of birth rate, either crude or standardised for age and sex. Worldwide, there are significant differences between birth rates. A major study in the 1980s, carried out by the Population Division of the Department of International Economic and Social Affairs of the UN Secretariat, studied the relationship between population age and sex distribution and crude fertility rates for twenty one countries in the developing world. They concluded

The higher the birthrate the more markedly the birthrate is depressed by the age structure. All other things being equal, fertility should decline more rapidly in the countries where it is currently lowest since the age structure appears to favor such a course. The mean number of children ever born also ranged widely among the twenty one countries. Differences in completed family size range from 8.6 children in Jordan to 5.2 children in Indonesia. 1 In the developed world, though, there is a global tendency for family sizes on average to be smaller than the replacement level. This is true of every country in the European Union

Mortality

The effect of mortality on population structures is to reduce the component of the population in which the mortality occurs. Historically, the most dangerous ages were infancy and old age (variously reckoned accord to circumstances). In addition, some epidemics of infectious diseases (eg Spanish 'flu) had their highest mortality among young adults, whose immune systems were presumably insufficiently primed. It is expected that the forecast bird 'flu epidemic will behave similarly. War differential reduces the proportion of younger men. The majority of infectious diseases of early childhood have been conquered by immunization, and improved nutrition and hygiene have rendered childhood safer. Antibiotics, welfare state, and improvements in medical, surgical, and palliative care have resulted in great increases in life expectancy in the developed world, where life expectancy is now in the middle to upper 70s or lower 80s, and rising every year. The effect of this is to raise the population in the upper age groups substantially. Women have high life expectancy than men wherever they live. The tendency of people to retire to particular resorts means that in some parts of the South Coast of England the average (arithmetic mean) age of the population is only just below retirement age.

The down side of this is that the extended lives are often lived in bad health, as the treatments people receive may keep them alive but do little to ameliorate the underlying pain or disability brought on by the diseases, and virtually nothing for the various forms of senile dementia that are increasingly encountered.

Migration

This has been less studied. In areas where natural disasters or politico-military concerns lead to entire populations being displaced the initial population structure will be unchanged, though post-migration the population will have altered to reflect those who have survived the process, typically showing increases in older children and younger adults. Opportunistic migration tends to occur mostly among younger adults, and may be permanent or temporary. Some studies have shown increased fertility levels in migrants, So the effect of migration on population structure is to deplete the population emigrated from in the young adult groups, to augment this group in the immigrated-to population, and to increase the fertility/birthrate in the new population

Write a argumentative essay arguing whether elementary ayo children should own a cell phone. Make sure to explain your reasoning
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

HERE YA GO

Explanation:

Should kids have cell phones?  (Persuasion)

In today’s society, many kids are walking around with cell phones.  Seventy-seven percent of kids ages twelve to seventeen have a cell phone.  The main reasons why kids have cell phones are safety, convenience, affordability, responsibility, and bonding through texting.

First, safety is the biggest issue for parents.  A kid having a cell phone can call home or emergency services when trouble arises.  It also gives the parent the ability to locate their whereabouts with GPS features.  Also, if kids are lost, hurt, scared, or witnessing an incident, the phone is there for them.  Life is getting more difficult and it is essential for a kid to carry a cell phone with them at all times for their safety and the parent’s peace of mind.

The second is the convenience of having a cell phone.  Giving kids mobile phones not only offers them a more convenient way to call home than finding a payphone, but also helps you keep in constant contact with your kids.  Cell phones can also help if your kid makes a change of plans with a sports activity, friends, or a sleepover.  It helps kids in contacting other friends regarding homework questions and projects due.  Furthermore, it helps parents out in the event of changes being made.

The third is the affordability of a cell phone.  There are tons of cell phones today on the market that you can get at low cost or no cost.  Prepaid phone plans and the ability to add a line to your parent's account are very inexpensive.

The fourth is cell phones teach your child responsibility.  It teaches a child to watch their minutes, texting restrictions, application management, and to keep track of their phone.

In conclusion, kids should have cell phones to ensure that they know what’s expected from them because a good parent-child relationship starts with good communication.  It not only makes the kids feel safer, but it also puts the parents at ease in many ways.

What is the difference between Academic discourse and Academic writting?
Helga [31]
Academic texts are formal, based on facts and evidence and always contain citations. Non-academic texts, on the other hand, are writings that are informal and dedicated to a lay audience. They are usually on general topics and use casual or colloquial language, and may contain the writer's personal opinions.

How does limestone become marble?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Marble forms when sedimentary limestone is heated and squeezed by natural rock-forming processes so that the grains recrystallize. If you look closely at a limestone, you can usually see fossil fragments (for example, bits of shell) held together by a calcite matrix.
