Chapter 2: Population (Population Growth)

The above video was shown as a hook in class, to get the Chapter on Population started with the classes. This a daily life affair of Japanese in Tokyo getting onto the train and the squeezing is sure far worst then what we experience here in Singapore! They even have people designated to push the people into the train in order to get everyone in. Quit an amazing feat too.

The video below was shown in class and its about Lagos (do look through it again if you couldn't catch the audio), one of the growing populous cities in Nigeria and of course instead of a megacities present, megaslums have actually taken prominence.

Below is a website link that you can go to, to look at the real-time SIMULATION of the birth rate and death rates around the world, in addition to the population growth, it has incorporated also the amount of CO2 that we humans have emitted thus far (though it is actually much lower as compared to reality)

Quite interesting, go click and have a look---> Breathing Earth !

This is another website to get up to date data of the world or specific countries in terms of population growth, birth rate, death rate etc or any other facts on the world--->CIA -The World Factbook
