Political Parties after WW1
I am a factory worker in Ontario. I would like the Conservative party to win. I would like this because they support the tariffs. The tariffs help the business I work for to expand and be succesful. Although he is not raising the tariffs which is still fair towards the farmers I think.
Dear my wife
I am safe and working hard too get home soon. Glad you and other women are contributing to our community very proud of you. I think it’s good women are working hard to contribute. Maybe when the war ends things will become more equal. That is very sad news about the children and women being taken for hard labour. Make sure you and the kids are safe I don’t know what I would do without you guys. I wish I didn’t have to be here so I could spend my nights with you but you know I didn’t have much of a choice. Try not to be influenced by all the propaganda we need to have our own opinion if we are going to make change in this world. I love you dearly be safe I will be home soon.
Love your husband
Water conservation
Conserving water in Canada is necessary since water is renewable. If we do not take care of our water we could end up like other countries that are not as fortunate as us. We can use our water to help other countries in need and still have plenty of water for ourselves but if we take our water for granted this could change rapidly. Our water is used in many different ways and vital for many different living things on this earth including us. We also need to stop polluting our waters because we our putting our very valuable renewable resource at risk. Doing little things like turning the tap off or taking different showers can help keep our water clean and not waste it.
I always turn the tap off while I brush my teeth IMG_4189-1w49g20
I am going to start timing my showers so I know they are under 15 minutes IMG_4191-1hglltpIMG_4191-1hglltp

Defining Poverty
1. The problem with measuring poverty through the standard of living is measured by the way a person lives compared to the community around them. The problem with standard of living is that people have different perspectives of what poverty is. Some might see someone as middle class but others might think of that as poverty. Relative poverty is when people don’t have a certain amount of money to meet there necessities in life. This may appear a better way to measure but the problem is that people make assumptions on what people need and don’t need. Absolute poverty is where people are not meeting basic human needs like food, water, shelter. HDI uses stats to measure life expectancy based on standard of living, health, and education.
2. I think the best way to measure poverty is by using absolute poverty. This is because it is easier to find who really needs the help. The other options are influenced by there surroundings.
Definitions
Pessimist/Malthusian – claimed that population would soon outstrip food supply, leading to famine, disease, and social disorder. Malthus’s predictions were not realized, since he did not foresee the improvements in agriculture, hygiene, and medicine. Also, millions of people migrated to British colonies to cultivate farmlands there, which eased population pressure.
Neo Malthusian – predict that disaster will overtake populations in the world’s poorest developing countries in the next 50 years due to increasing global warming, shortages of arable land, conflicts over fresh water, declining fish stocks, and the spread of AIDS or other diseases. Africa will be most vulnerable to these threats.
Optimist/Cornucopian – Those with an optimistic outlook on population growth are called cornucopians. They have faith in mankind’s ability to find innovations, such as solar and wind energy, that will increase Earth’s carrying capacity.
Kenya is in stage two of the demographic transition model. This means there population is rapidly increasing, and they are using violence to food and land. They currently have no way to stop the rapid growth of population. “Centres are overstretched we need more then double the number of clinics across the country but there is no resources”
box to box has a optimist view on global population growth .They believe that through technology in developing countries we can slow down and control the population growth. They need to encourage education and escape from poverty in order to work towards the goal. We can stop populati0n growth by “Continue to improve child survival to 90 percent” and make smart investments.
Population Pyramid
dependency ratio: 50.08135366
the dependency ratio is low. There seems to be a fairly equal divide between males except with more females in the older division. the birth rates are getting smaller but they are higher then the death rates which means the population is growing. this is a contracting pyramid. the majority of Australia population is ages 20- 49. Australia is currently in stage 4 of the DTM. Australia needs to prepare there health care system for a large group of seniors to come in with a low amount of doctors to take care of them. They also may need more nursing homes and other facilities for elders. They might have shortage of employers due to the amount of people reaching retirement. they have some years to figure out a plan before this happens.
