TFR to increase must be 2.1

In today's always great Honor's Human Geography class with the one and only Mr. Schick we discussed something called the Total Fertility Rate and then went over some questions on a powerpoint. The Total Fertility Rate is the average number of children born per woman. In order for a population to grow the TFR has to be 2.1 or higher. If it is anything lower that means the population is decreasing. The US TFR is 2.01 which means our population decreasing. The Nigeria TFR is 6.89 which means it is a developing country. The Japan TFR is 1.40 which means it is a developed country with an aging population. After discussing this we went over three questions on a powerpoint which were: Q-What is the population of the US? A-323.1 million people. Q-What is the infant mortality rate in the US? A-5.87 deaths per 1000 people. Q-Which country has the highest population of Catholics? A- Mexico. After this the bell rang which brought us to lunch.

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
