Today in class we started a new unit about Population and Migration. I think that I will like this unit because I have always wanted to learn about population yet I have never gotten the chance to learn about it. We have already learned about the population clock which I did not even know existed. The population clock is a real time counter that keeps track of everyone on the earth. It shows how many people are in the whole world and in the U.S. and it even tells you how many people are in every country as well. It tells us that there is someone born every 8 seconds, one death every 12 seconds, one international migrant every 29 seconds, and a net gain of one person every 13 seconds in the United States. This shows that the U.S. population is constantly growing and it is most likely not going to stop growing unless something like a plague happens again. Which is unlikely to happen in this century but can most definitely happen. In conclusion I think that I will like this new unit and that there is going to be a lot of cool things that I am going to learn in class.
