rural

urban
___ have over 50000 people
city

megalopolis
people drawn to cities for cultural benefits and convenience
cosmopolites
think COnvieninve MOtrPOLIes
native culture brought here when people who lived here immigrate. They settle together and create a community that looks like there home (ie chinatown or little Italy)
ethnic villages
movement away from cities to suburbs
surbanization
beyond suburbs, prosperous areas where people lice and commute to city to work
exurbs

what is the difference between slums and Ghettoes
Ghettoes- area where specific racial, ethnic group live usually economically disadvantage
Slum- is a heavily populated urban area that is characterized by squalor and cheap housing
what are 3 factors that contribute to total growth rate (factors that increase/decrease population)
1) fertility
2) Migration
3) Mortality
fecundity
refers to the potential reproductive capacity of a female
movement of people into a country
immigration
Births/1000 people per yr.
Birth rate
of births a woman is expected to give birth to in her child bearing years
Fertility rate
how do you calculate the total population increase rate?
(#births+# immigration)/1000
then multiply rate by population to get population increase
movement of people out of a country
emigration
think E for Exit
deaths / 1000 people
death rate or Mortality rate
graphs the age and sex distribution of a population
Population pyramid
if a population pyramid shows a constrictive pyramid, what does that mean?
fewer younger people than old people
if a population pyramid shows a expansive pyramid, what does that mean?
high birth rate and high death rate
this table represents the mortality rate by age comparisons
Life Table/ mortality table
how to calculate total population decrease rate ?
(#deaths + # emigration)/ 1000 people
think opposite of total population increase rate
how to calculate net migration
immigration - emigration
(#people coming - # of people going )
(Think in and out
movement within the same country
internal migration
theorem suggests that we will eventually run out of resources and there will be a global food shortage leading too a high mortality rate
Malthusian Theorem
think MALT poured by HUSIAN with not be enough for his people and they will die
sharing of culture, money and products between countries due to international trade
globalization
this theory divides the world into 3 countries: core, periphery and semi periphery (importance of word as a unit rather than individual countries
world systems theory
what are the 3 units of the world systems theory
1) core(advanced economy) aka first world 2)periphery(weak economy) aka 3rd world 3)semi periphery(middle ground between core and periphery)
Modernization theory
all countries follow similar path of development to a modern society and are capable
theory that disagrees with modernization theory
It looks at periphery nations (3rd world nations) and says that they dont have the means of becoming a developed nation
Dependency theory
sees globalization as a new age in human history (do not have an opinion)
hyperglobalization perspective
critical of globalization
Skeptical perspective
