Today we finished taking a look at population pyramids. We looked at a few cities, including a retirement community, a prison, and an all girls college. While we only saw the different numbers in population, we were able to infer the place in which it was representing. We took a look at the population pyramid for the world. We found out that it was in the shape of a Christmas tree. This means that as a whole, the Earth is developing. We found out that a reason for this could be the fact that 1/6 of the worlds population is malnourished or poor, without enough food, living on the streets.
We talked about Whitey Bulgar, who was an infamous criminal who was recently killed in a prison. We learned that along with Osama Bin Laden, he was one of FBI's most wanted. He hid away in California and eventually got caught. He was transferred through many prisons, and the one got most recently got transferred to was one in West Virginia. In that prison he got beaten to death, and killed. Finally, we took a look a the population possibilities in the years to come. We saw that by 2100 the population of the world could be about 11,000,000,000 people in about 80 years!
