Population Differences: Canada, Cameroon, And Pakistan

1080 Words5 Pages

Step 1:
Each country’s population trends are unique, they represent the country’s stories of struggle, hardship, and even success. When one compares the given five countries (Canada, Peru, Poland, Cameroon, and Pakistan), one is able to see the individual challenges each country faces.

Step 2:
There differences between the five countries given are vast and numerous. Canada seems to be commonly viewed as a highly developed country compared to the others. We are now focusing in augmenting our work force and dealing with social issues rather than facing issues such as working on our stage of development, such as Cameroon. Canada, as well as Poland and Peru, have a fairly low dependency load compared to Cameroon and Pakistan. Where Cameroon is …show more content…

Then again, this could also mean a higher demand for children’s and seniors’ products, which could actually boost that section of the economy. Population growth, again, is another concern. While Canada and Peru are relatively stable, Poland is in the negatives and Cameroon and Pakistan have growth rates almost at 2%. For Poland, this brings their economy into question. Will, 50 years down the road, the future decrease in population be able to support the economy? If not, they’ll have to forge a plan to keep the country strong. An incentive to increase the population may be put in place or immigrants may be brought into the country to boost the work force. However, moving on to other countries, an enormous growth rate is very different from a shrinking one. Cameroon and Pakistan are facing a massive population increase within the upcoming years. With Cameroon hitting 23M and Pakistan growing to 250M by 2025, scarcity and resources are two very important issues in question. Say that these two countries fail to provide for their citizens, food and …show more content…

As talked about before, these two nations are facing a terrifyingly large population increase within the next 10 years, with growth rates reaching almost 2%. Also discussed in the past paragraph, there are many concerns that can be brought up about the problems this increase in population will bring. Scarcity of resources being the biggest concern, I believe Esther Boserup, a famous Polish economist, best exemplifies this issue. Her view on the matter is the complete opposite of Malthus’ theory. Boserup believed that, no matter the population increase, humans, being the innovative beings that they are, will find, if not invent, a new way of obtaining sufficient resources. Drawing on her knowledge of farming in the developing world, where populations were growing quickly, Boserup argued that the threat of starvation and the challenge of feeding more mouths motivates people to improve their farming methods and invent new technologies in order to produce more food. Boserup described this change as ‘agricultural intensification’. For example, a farmer who has four fields to produce food for his family might grow crops in three of the fields, but leave the fourth field empty as the ground is dry and his crop will not grow there. However if the farmer has

By challenging common assumptions and being ethical he effectively claims that the solution to solving these global hunger problems is foreign assistance. Paarlberg shows Pathos, Ethos and Logos through the thought of unravelling worldwide starvation by being realistic of the view on pre-industrial food and farming. Pathos is clearly evident in Paarlberg’s article through the presentation of the food insecurity problem in Africa and Asia. He uses impassioned words as an attempt to reach out to his target audience on a more emotional level by agitating and drawing sympathy of whole food shoppers and policy makers. Paarlberg employs Pathos during the article when he says, “The majority of truly undernourished people -- 62 percent, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization -- live in either Africa or South Asia, and most are small farmers or rural landless laborers living in the countryside of Africa and South Asia” (page 611-12).

Thus, as Paarlberg has argued, industrial agriculture has helped reduce starvation and poverty in Africa and South-East Asia. Paarlberg’s earlier claim about increasing wheat yield in India contradicts Coline Serra’s film, in which Vandana Shiva explains that across India farmers are committing suicide at a staggering rate due to them being indebted to the fertilizer and pesticide manufacturers and the increase of diseases in their crops due to the excessive use of these chemicals. “Down to Earth”

I can't speak to the ideals and aspirations of each individual Québécois, but I think the simplest answer is that, historically, Québec and Canada have two very separate (yet parallel?) histories. Unlike territories and nations that have been gradually annexed and welcomed into their current countries, Québec was taken much more forcefully by the British and the result was not favorable for the inhabitants of the former French colony. The British were not kind to the French in North America... as evidenced by their expulsion of the Acadians (many of whom relocated to Louisiana, where they now call themselves

Immediately, when I have begun to live here, I could see the big differences between that’s countries. And I could note, compare, and contrast. For example, Life style before in Cuba was full of short comings, specially, for the young people. There are not some opportunities for then, even if they were graduated from college, it’s hard to face life in that corrupted, and destroyed society, in contrast, now in Miami, young people have a great opportunity

In the 20th century it was apparent that huge changes occurred in the world. In Canada, there were many ups and downs that contributed to how the present was shaped. Both of the world wars were terrible, but fate had brought these battles to diminish the economically poor times. After the second World War, Canada’s identity was shaping into the one we see today. The war changed Canada in various aspects, such as how Canada was part of a cause to support other countries in need of help, how the economy was advancing, and Canada’s part in peacekeeping missions across the world.

AP Environmental Science: Chapter 5 1. Explain how southern sea otters act as a keystone species in kelp beds. The otters help to keep sea urchins and other kelp-eating species from depleting highly productive and rapidly growing kelp forests, which provide habitats for a number of species in offshore coastal waters. Without southern sea otters, sea urchins would probably destroy the kelp forests and much of the rich biodiversity associated with them.

2a. If sunlight were to disappear almost completely, it would leave lasting effects on many organisms such as an earthworm, a shark, a maple tree, a saguaro cactus, or a teenager. While looking at an earth worm, the short term effects would be beginning to see more of the species during the day. Earthworms are nocturnal, so they live beneath the surface when it is daylight and come out once the sun goes down. Because of this in the long run, the earthworm species would eventually become overpopulated; they would be above the surface more, so they would have more time to reproduce.

With the new system of express entry the government is aiming to get individuals that are better suited for the job market and they can contribute positively to the economic growth of the country. Alexander, Burleton, and Fong, (2012) state that the program also gives priority to Canadian citizens and permanent residence. The immigration system in Canada is decentralized meaning the federal government and the provincial government have immigration programs. The main issue with the provincial programs is that the requirement for the economic credential are lower than the requirements by the federal government. This has led to inflow of immigrants that are not able to integrate into the system as they are not able to find jobs, because their credentials are not what are required for the provincial economy, so these immigrants have to work low- skill jobs that are taken away from Canadian that causes lesser opportunities for citizens (Alexander, Burleton, & Fong, 2012).

For instance, if “people become confident of their children's survival, than childbirth rates will drop.” (Gale, Population Growth, Environmental Encyclopedia) Besides the fact that most believe that developed countries attribute to the population growth the most, which is a misconception. Undeveloped countries are, in fact, the main contributor to the rising population rate. Most families “in poor countries often have five to ten children,” (Gale, Population Growth, Environment Encyclopedia) to insure that they have someone to take care for them in their old age. By aiding undeveloped countries, eventually they will grow to be confident that their children will survive and the numbers will decrease further.

Teresa and Kevin Springs, the owners of TKO Farm go to great lengths to educate the new generation on sustainable farming, but there is some resistance. In history, farming was a means of growing all the food one needed, and in one place, but for Black farmers, it means something different. Many young African Americans resist the idea of farming because “the thought of farming leaves a bad taste in their mouth, but we believe farming is the key to independence” (“More than Just a Farm” n.d.). Teresa says. The Springs have found countless benefits with farming, and they want to pass down the knowledge they received from their co-op elders.

Overloaded and ever-so-busy streets filled with polluted air is the most common sight you’ll see in China. The constant pressure of stressful school years and difficulties of work leave citizens overworked. For example, the average student in China spends over 3 hours of their day on homework, many finishing the workload by 11:00 Pm. On the other hand, Canada seems to be more relaxed and easy going. Schools allow the prosperity of creativity and give students the chance to choose their courses to suit their needs.

First of all, I need to clarify that there is no dominant method of comparison between countries. Every method has its own advantages and disadvantages involving the level of abstraction, the scope of covering, etc. (Landman & Carvalho, 2016).In the early days, Lijphart (1971) called comparing many countries when using quantitative analysis, the ‘statistical’ method and on the other hand, when comparing few countries with the use of qualitative analysis the ‘comparative’ method. But nowadays, comparative studies are conducted to compare similarities and differences across countries and within countries.
