WELP MORE PYRAMIDS

In today's Human Geo lesson we continued learning about the population pyramids. We compared different countries' population pyramids as well as cities in the US. Mr. Schick gave us a first hand experience of the population in a beach down in Florida where the population is mostly old people because it's sort of a retirement place. He told us that he watched a rocket launch from an island not far from where he was staying. Also we saw that Japan's population is slowly declining due to the amount of elderly people compared to the amount of young people. The fact that there are more old people means that there will be nobody to carry the economy while people die slowly and their population will have gone down significantly in the next fifty years. WOW!
