Today in human geo we watched a video on Hans Rosling who taught all about global health. He likes to show his education in both enjoyment and understanding.   Through the video he discussed his version of the population pyramid so people can both enjoy and understand. He showed us his version of a population pyramid where it shows if countries are rich and healthy or poor and sick. Lifespan starts from 25 years to 75 years old. And the income starts from 400 to 40000 dollars. During the year 1810 all countries were mostly under ages 50 and at 400 dollars. Which was extremely unhealthy and poor. On the graph Europe was brown, Asia was red, the middle east was green, the sub-Saharan Africa is blue and last but NOT LEAST… America is yellow! As the dates go one from 1810 is when America, Europe and the middle east went up. This increase came from the industrial revolution. Not only did it create a rich country but increased the population and made it more healthier. C

Although we have been learning about these for quite a few classes I did actually learn something new that wasn’t taught in any other class. I learned that building factories can increase the population. Cause you think about all the people who leave one place to come where the factories are to work. Which will make the population grow in that one area. That’s something new I have learned!!!
