Men Do Stupid Things

We covered a lot in class today. We started off by talking about Life expectancy. Men tend to have a shorter life expectancy than women do. There are many reasons for this. One of them is that men tend to do more reckless things than women. Crude birth rate and crude death rate. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1000 people and crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 people. Immigration is the excess of persons entering a country and is written as a positive number. Emigration is the excess of persons leaving a country. For example as of last year Mexico's emigration rate was -3.11. This means that over the years more and more people are leaving Mexico to live in other countries. We also talked about push and pull forces. A push force is something that would push people away from going to a country. Some examples of push forces are civil wars, unemployment, or religious/ethnic persecution. On the contrary, pull forces are things that would make people want to go to a country. Some examples of pull forces are better healthcare, better economic opportunities, and religious/political freedom.
