Demographic transition videos

Today in class we read over the notes we took yesterday from the textbook pages. This concept is easy to understand if you think of it from a common sense standpoint. If you think about it, it makes sense how countries move from stage 1 to stage 2 and to the other stages. We also learned about the 5th stage. Italy and Japan are good examples of countries in the 5th stage. There are more people dying than babies being born which is causing a decline in the population. Eventually the population will seise to exist. We also watched two videos. One with a lady talking about what might happen in stage 5 and one explaining how all stages work.
