Discussion Questions (answer all the following questions in a Word document and attach after clicking on the link from within the "Lessons" section of the class for this chapter's assignment (i.e., the "Population Pyramid" option). Answer all parts of the question in detail and in COMPLETE SENTENCES. Note: you may have to do external research to try to "discover" some of the answers, so don't guess and don't claim "I don't know".

1. Where are you represented on the histograms on the previous page? (attempt to describe what characteristics you used to find where you would place an "x" to represent you on the histrograms/graphs)

2. Can you tell from the data if there are more boy babies or girl babies in each country? If so, which? Explain why you think this is?

3. Are there more elderly women or men? Why might that be the case? (Provide more than one possibility and remember, don't just think about the USA.)

4. Can you tell from the graphs which country has the most people? How can you tell or why can you not tell?

5. Of the six graphs, which look most like pyramids? What does that indicate about their population growth rates? What factors would change the shape of the pyramids in the future?

6. Looking at the pyramids, which country appears to have the slowest rates of population growth? How can you tell?

7. Which are the two biggest age groups in the United States? What does the "bulge" represent?

8. In which countries do children make up the biggest percentage of the population?

9. Some cultures have traditionally favored boy children over girl children (as can been seen in the pyramids for India and China). Why might it be advantageous to have boys rather than girls in these countries? What are some consequences that may arise if a generation has a gender imbalance?

10. If you had a business and wanted to capitalize on your information about the population age distribution for the United States, what would you sell?

11. If you had a business in Nigeria and wanted to capitalize on your information about the Nigerian population, what would you sell?
