Does Proof Exists That Extraterrestrial Life Visited Earth
1. Does Proof Exists that Extraterrestrial life Visited Earth
Does life exist on other planets besides Earth? Has extraterrestrial life visited Earth recently or in
our distant past? The notion of extraterrestrial life is a very intriguing subject possibly for as long as
mankind has looked into the vast heavens gazing at the stars. Can one say that life on Earth was
done by Mother Nature which some call evolution? Is life on Earth the result of creation or
alteration by a higher power or being? Some people do believe that other forms of life except those
on Earth do exist. Others consider it false because there is no absolute proof beyond doubts. There
have been countless occurrences by individuals around the world of either being contacted or
abducted by alien life forms. Many unofficial accounts describe the Earth as being visited by one or
more alien species. These various alien species that possibly visited Earth may be interested in
observing the development of the human species. Nevertheless there have been many discussions of
government cover ups. Scientists and astronomers are not officially agreeing with what is explained
as evidence provided by the supporters of life forms other than mankind visiting or inhabiting Earth.
In the current era Area 51 (Cited from Wikipedia Area 51 is owned by the federal government and
was established by the CIA in 1955 to develop classified military projects.) has been the focus of

3. Ziggurats Research Paper
One of the most important aspects of Babylonian religion and tradition, and probably the best
known, is the ziggurat. Ziggurats were huge structures with a temple far above the ground. This
Temple would have belonged to the city god. The city ziggurat would easily be the most noticeable
building in the city, towering above any people visiting their city. They could reach up to 150 ft.
high as well! But how did they build these mesmerizing temples? The materials they used, the
platform they designed, and the time and effort they spent on the ziggurats made them stand out and
be the most conspicuous building in Ancient Babylon. To start the platform, they used Sun–baked
bricks (made out of straw and mud); because these bricks were sun baked, buildings eventually

Each of the bricks were sometimes stamped with the name of the king and later on tied with ropes.
The Ancient Babylonians thought about the design carefully. Like an ancient Egyptian pyramid, a
ziggurat has four sides and rises up to the realm of the gods. It also put their priests closer to the
heavens, where they could better communicate with the deity so he could hear their prayers and
speak his will. They usually had 7 steps upwards and each of them had different dimensions as they
got smaller. The first step was 300ft x 300ft and 110ft high. The bricks were set in a mortar, to
protect it against flood damage as well.
Building the ziggurat took time and effort. Teams of workmen moved huge loads of bricks using
sleds on wooden rollers, or carried smaller amounts in baskets on their backs. After the bricks had
dried, each of the men had to take their share of bricks up Estrada

2. If nature previously recycled nutrients using forest fires as the mechanism, why must we use
"prescribed burns" to accomplish the same results today?
Today due to controlling forest fires in the past overgrown shrubs now affect trees. Prescribed
burnings are conducted to replenish nutrients into the soil while protecting the trees themselves.
Prescribed burning is less hot and less intense so that it can be controlled.
3. What are the similarities and differences between the function of the decomposers and the effects
of periodic fires
Decomposers and Fires both are the exchange agents of nutrients within an ecosystem. The
differences are that the decomposers work naturally whereas fire is now controlled through
prescribed burnings.
4. Can energy be recycled?
Energy is recycled through the breakdown and return of nutrients back into the soil. This process
occurs in a number of ways including the return of nitrogen into the air.

What Did the pyramids represent?
1. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for their Pharaohs. A Pharaoh would begin
planning his "house of eternity," as soon as he took the throne. This was because the Egyptian
pyramids held many items in preparation for the afterlife. For what purpose were the pyramids
erected? No hint was found in the hieroglyphic literature. Already in Greek authors debated this
question. In the fifth century before the present era Herodotus gave a detailed account of their
construction, of their purpose."The Evolution of the Egyptian Pyramid." The Evolution of the
Egyptian Pyramid Today the pyramid has the appearance of a large three–stepped pyramid. In
contrast to earlier theories forwarding the idea of a sudden collapse, the present state of the pyramid
"is one of being in the midst of construction and being stripped" This idea is evidenced by the fact
that the lower casing stones found in the mound at the base of the pyramid show far fewer signs of
erosion than those from the upper reaches of the pyramid"– Google Search." – Google Search.

A population pyramid is a tool that demographers use to determine "the make–up of a given
population" (carol). It can be used to determine a large population like the world or a country, or for
a smaller population in a specific city or area. The basic shapes found in these pyramids are triangle,
rectangle, and cup shape (larger or smaller at the bottom and top). A population pyramids
information only pertains to that specific area and its culture. The information is made into a graph
that determines age, sex and percentage. Male and female are opposite each other. Age is on the Y
axis and its grouping is referred to as a cohort. The percentage is shown on the bottom of the graph
with numbers to represent both male and female population. The numbers that the population
pyramid depict are not real time but they can show "immediate practical and predictive value" (Getis

Demographic Profile for France, 1985 and 2012
Population Structure and Implications
Introduction
The population structure of France has remained stable over the past 27 years. Fertility has remained
around replacement level. Mortality has remained relatively constant as far as crude death rates go,
but there has been an extention in the overall lifespan of an individual during this time. Like most
countries that have completed the demographic transition France is engaged in a balancing act
between mortality and fertility, and is in danger of experiencing a population decline. If life
expectancies continue to increase or fertility rates decrease France could have some hard economic
decisions to make in the future.
Population Structure by Age While most of the population in 1985 was between the ages of 15 and
64, the population was beginning to grow older as a whole. The median age was in the 30–34 age
range and 12.81% of the population was over the age of 65. The number of dependent adults was
well below the number of dependent children, with 19.45 dependent adults for every one hundred
independent adults and 32.39 dependent children for every one hundred independent adults. This
means about 34% of the population were unable to fend for themselves and were forced to rely on
the 65% of the population who were able to work and be independent. In 1985 fertility levels were
hovering around replacement level, with the

17. Demographic Transition
Demographic transition is a model based on birth rate and death rate in a populace. As indicated by
this theory, each nation progresses through three distinct phases of population development. In the
first stage, the birth rate and the death rate are high and the growth rate of population is low. In the
second stage, the birth rate remains steady but the death rate decreases swiftly. Therefore, the
growth rate of the population rises rapidly. In the last stage, the birth rate begins falling and tends to
parallel the death rate. The growth rate of population is lingering.
The first stage is described by high birth rate and high death rate, giving a low growth rate of
population. Individuals mostly live in rural areas and their main occupation is agriculturally
dominated. In this stage, birth rates are high due to the lack and/or restriction of family planning
methods, traditional social and religious belief encouraging large families. Parents have more
children to adjust for high infant mortality and children begin working at an early age to add to the
family salary. Causes of a high death rate include diseases, famine and malnutrition, an absence of
clean drinking water and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The population starts to rise and the economy enters the period of economic expansion. Death rates
decline because of an increase in food supply due to agricultural revolution and improvement in
health and sanitation also causing reduction in child mortality. Citizens do not seek to regulate the
amount of their family as it is difficult to break with the past social or cultural traditions and
convictions towards family planning. Also, work opportunities increase and children can add more
to the family wage. As a product, the birth rate rests at the preceding high level. With enhancements

19. Demographic Transition
The demographic transition is compiled of four stages that attempt to summarize the population
shifts and economic development of countries. It is based on the levels of human fertility and
mortality, birth rates, and death rates to be precise. These levels of birth and death have correlated
with the evolution of industrialization and urbanization of areas. It illustrates the idea that over time
there has been a shift from high birth rates and death rates to low rates of birth and death. It
originated to describe the Western Experience in Europe, that first moved throughout the four stages.
To begin, in stage one the birth rates and death rates are both high. Birth rates can average 37 per
1000 births during the first stage and death rates ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This decline in birth rates seems to be the result of adults starting to control their family size or even
government action. With the implementation of urban societies and an industrialized culture, the
want and need for many children had become less evident as children are seen as a hassle than a
benefit. Urbanization and industrialization are more common with more developed countries so
these countries have the ability to provide opportunities that are more attracting than raising
children. These countries have the money to invest in controlling birth rates, unlike poorer countries
that can't afford to help their people as much. It seems to be a pattern, that developed countries has
already gone through each stage because of their power to shape and implement technology into
their people daily lives, but it has lowered birth rates severely as well. The Demographic Transition
model will end with the fourth and final stage, which is characterized by low birth rates and low
death rates. This accounts for a very small increase in population and will add up to possibly over a
thousand years of doubling time to replace the current

Most Greek figures were influenced by animals and were occasionally created using different
animal body parts. The Egyptians were further involved in creating countless monumental
sculptures of their pharaohs and queens. Other than limestone the Egyptians also used painted wood
and sandstone and later used gold and bronze to strengthen their sculptures, while Greeks would use
marble and bronze. The difference in religious beliefs between the two time periods is the major
difference because Egyptians had a very solid belief in the after–life and helping their dead find a
better life after death whereas the Greeks lacked such belief.
Ancient Greece borrowed various of their concepts from the Egyptians and Mesopotamians to
improve their individual and independent artistic identity through painting, sculpture, and
architecture. Much of the artwork was government supported and available for public viewing in the
cities. The Greeks were also involved in contributing to the beginning of medicine and astronomy
and their perception of balance and proportion of form. The Greek government was minor and had
several cities and states that were independent. This was different from Egyptian politics because it

Ziggurat's Design Features
The famous ziggurat design wasn't just for looks, but the designs also serve a purpose other than
connecting with the gods and goddesses.
Ziggurat's towering height were not only for connecting with gods, it also served as protection from
floods.
Earlier ziggurats didn't have as many steps as they were at their prime. Although, this was beneficial
to the priests and the top of the ziggurat because they were easy to guard.
Construction Materials
Although the ziggurat's design are very impressive, the materials they used to create the
monumental structure is very creative and interesting.
All ziggurat's outer layers consisted of mud bricks or sun–dried bricks. Ancient Mesopotamian
ziggurats use mud brick because in Sumer, the Sumerians couldn't find quality building stones. But
what they could find was mud bricks, which were also the material ancient Sumerians used to

The Egyptians built pyramids for the king's burial while the Mesopotamians built ziggurats to not
only honor with their god, but to also connect with them.

relating to globalisation. (4 paragraphs total). Homogenisation: Greiner (2014) says, "Globalisation
makes cultural tastes, beliefs, and practices converge and become more alike". This means that
economic processes play an influence on cultural practices in assisting to globalise that culture. For
example, with McDonalds, no matter where you go in the world every McDonalds will have golden
arches and something of similar food menu, which Greiner (2014) calls 'Americanisation'.
Polarisation: "Globalisation contributes to a heightened sense of sociocultural identity that serves to
fragment people and trigger social disorder and instability instead of creating a standardised global
culture" (Greiner, 2014, p.42). This usually happens in Politics, for example in America, during
Presidential elections, parties are trying to create division in groups or sets of opinions to target
people to vote. Glocalisation: "The idea that global and local forces interact and that both are

In spite of the fact that the decorations are not exactly the same. For instance, Egyptians and

A third similarity is they both share some typical explanations behind developing these huge
structures. The first reason Egyptians made their pyramid was to celebrate their ruler, and their
second reason was to encourage association between the souls of the dead and the divine beings.
The Mesopotamians also thought about their people associating with the divine beings. For them the
symbolic meaning for building the White temple was to make a path from earth to paradise. This
path would permit people to meet their divine beings.
A fourth and last similarity is their fertile common ground. Amid these antiquated circumstances,
fertile land was rare. Be that as it may, Djoser's pyramid and the White temple were found

Part D – Population Distribution, Consumption and Sustainability
a) At the current world population growth rate, I believe there won 't be sufficient resource to help
support this rate due to limited resources such as water, farming area, housing, etc with our current
technology. However, I do believe that after a breakthrough in technology, there would be more
population growth in the world, but would slowly come to a point where it simply can't sustain any
more and this cycle would go on until technology stops advancing. It is difficult to maintain this at a
constant rate without decreases at any point with the expanding number of people while Earth has
only finite resources. Theoretically though, if we were to able to constantly increase efficiency with
our land space, and colonize other planets, the population of the human species would always
increase.
b) The world population is not equally distributed. There are few countries that have high population
densities. Places situated on the coast have good climate conditions for vegetation, which is the
reason why there are usually high population densities situated on the coastline in population density

Demographic and socio–economic changes effect cities, its economy and ultimately the country as a

accordingly to help it survive. Family patterns change over a period of time as more women go out
for jobs rather than stay at home. As medical field advances, the life span of human increases and
these changes can show that the median age of the population is growing. Setting up of new
industries or business houses in a city might bring in the working population and help in improving

The demographic transition model describes how the population of a country changes over time. It
gives changes in birth rates and death rates, and shows that countries pass through five different
stages of population change (Stage one – High fluctuation, Stage two – Early expanding, Stage three
– Late expanding, Stage four – Low fluctuating and Stage five – Decline) The demographic
transition model has both strengths and weaknesses for example some strengths would include that
the demographic transition model is a universal concept, therefore being able to be applied to every

model also has its weaknesses some weakness would include the fact that the demographic
transition model does not include the role of the government, some governments may put antenatal
and prenatal operations in place to encourage the decrease or to increase the birth rate within these
countries, therefore countries like China that are antenatal and have the one child policy put in place
and countries like the UK which are prenatal and offer child benefits may show fluctuation of the
birth rate in stages it should be decreasing or increasing in. Further more In stage four, the UK
experienced a post–war baby boom where the birth rate should be steadily decreasing – this shows
that the demographic transition model does not include the impacts of wars, natural hazards or
migration either. In addition another weakness would be that it is Eurocentric based and therefore is

The pyramid of Giza construction was created during the old kingdom. This majestic structure
signified the role that gods, and kings played in Egypt. The Egyptians had a meaning for all items
example jewelry, art, and obituary rituals. Building this pyramid was no exception to have meaning
in its structure. In building the pyramid of Giza the sides are smooth and angled to embody the
emissions from the sun this was believed to aid the king in his voyage to the afterlife. This pyramid
was built as a tomb to hold the remains of the king once he died. Similarly, to numerous royals
tombs this pyramid has extravagant paintings and had offerings to the gods to help ease the
transition from life to death. The Solar temple is located on the shores of Abusir lake. The solar
temple was discovered during the time of 1898 to 1901 by Heinrich Schaeffer and Ludwig
Borchardt. The Solar temple of Niuserre if we currently view this temple isn't as striking as the
pyramid of Giza. Nonetheless, the significance of this structure lies within. This temple is

Report on Characteristics and Consequences of an Aging Population
An ageing population is a population that, for a number of reasons, is collectively and gradually
growing older. The main reasons for this are falling birth rates while death rates remain static. An
ageing population can, however, have severe consequences for a country, which will be described
below.
In this report, the characteristics and consequences of an ageing population will be described using
specific case studies on a world, and regional scale. Areas where population is ageing will be shown
and reasons why the population is ageing in these areas will be outlined.

The areas where there is an ageing population such as Europe, the USA, Japan and Russia for
example, are all in stage 4 of the Demographic transition model, where are low death rates, and
therefore a high life expectancy, but also low birth rates which are sometimes even lower than death
rates, with this resulting in an ageing population, which is described under the previous heading.
Conversely, the areas with young population (Africa and parts of Asia etc) are all either in stage 1 or
stage 2, in some cases early stage 3 of the Demographic transition model where there are fallen
death rates and consistently high birth rate with this resulting in an increasingly young population.
Ageing Population– International Case Studies
The UK – The population of the UK is in the process of ageing. This is due to, as mentioned above,
the low death rate and consequent high life expectancy of the UK and low, decreasing birth. This
results in the population pyramid of the UK being fairly top and middle heavy, with the base of the
pyramid (where the youth population is shown) not being nearly as wide as the middle, and only
marginally wider than the top, older areas, with this indicating that the population of the UK is in the

Technology in Ancient Egypt
When one thinks of Egypt, the first thing that comes to mind are the pyramids. The pyramids are the
most recognized art form in history because of its uniqueness and aesthetics. This may be because
for an ancient civilization, Egypt was astounding in regards of technology. They did not just build
one model of their ideal pyramid, instead they created many over and over again, to establish a
perfect resting place for their ruler and the ruler's family. This verifies that the formation of the
pyramids was a thought out process that deserves the cultural distinction that we acknowledge in
modern times. The complexity and precision of the pyramids confirms that Egypt was like no other,
which further proves that the technology of Egypt was superb compared to other ancient
civilizations.
As in many cultures, death in Ancient Egypt was significant. It was seen as a continuation of life,
and Ancient Egyptians heavily emphasized that the survival of the spirit in the afterlife depended
upon the survival of the body of the deceased. Meaning, they were no longer just thrown into the
ground with they clothes they died in. In fact, the death process became so serious that
"mummification was evolved to ensure that the body would remain intact in its tomb, surrounded by
its possessions, for all of eternity.1. In the late Predynastic times, there was a shift from simple

Population aging is a term used to describe a country that has rising life expectancy and declining
fertility rates. Populations age when both fertility and mortality rates are low, less people are being
borna nd less people are dieing. This phenomenon of a larger proportion of older population is
happening in many countries and placing a burden on the younger population to support them. One
of the country's experiencing this is Italy. Italy lies on the southern part of Europe, like it's capital

Population aging is important to study because it raises concerns about health care can affect the
society economically. In this paper we will look at different tables and figures to show how Italy is
undergoing population aging. Population pyramids are often used to show age and sex structure of a
country's population. It shows the distribution of age groups within a population which forms the
shape of a pyramid. The population is along the horizontal axis, with males on the left and females
on the right. The gender population are in 5–year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the
vertical axis, with youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the
pyramid changes over time based on a few trends like fertility and mortality. In this paper these
pyramids will be used to illustrate how Italy is undergoing population aging. In figure 1 below the
35–54 cohort has the largest age structure and will eventually be more dependent than the
generations before them. This creates a burden placed on the younger generations that will have to
provide economically for a larger cohort than themselves. The shape of figure 1 at the bottom ,
shows a small cohort of people ages 0–25, this age group is one of the smallest in the age structure.

their gods and goddesses, and were matrilineal. The pharaohs believe in the afterlife and did not take
death as the final ending of their life. The Egyptians believed that all humans could be reborn after
death and exist throughout eternity due to inspiration from the sun. The Egyptians considered Re,

considered a developed country with most people in the working age group, with a tumbling birth
rate. This can be seen in the 2050 graph when the sides of the "pyramid" begin to straighten out or

Based on this rate, Argentina seems to have a good quality of living as well as a fair economic
stature and education system. With a crude birth rate at 19 and a crude death rate at 8, it can be
inferred that Argentina takes care of its elderly and helps young couples plan for their family. With
this understanding of the rate of natural increase, one could look at Argentina's infant mortality rate
as another positive demographic indicator.
Infant mortality rate depicts the number of deaths of children less than one year of age per 1,000
births within a country. Argentina has an infant mortality rate of 11.7 based on the 2013 World
Population Data Sheet, which is very low compared to the world average of 40 (9). Even though
Argentina's infant mortality rate (IMR) is lower than the world's average, it is not as low as one may
think when looking at their population of 41.3 million people. This means that nearly 826,000
babies under the age of one have died within their first year. On the other hand, the infant mortality
rate of Argentina is much lower than the majority of Africa and parts of Asia, which suggests that
Argentina has a sufficient healthcare and education system for women (2013 World Population Data

61. The Birth Rate Of Canada
There are many key demographic indicators that make up each country. One of them is the crude
birth rate. In Canada for example, the crude birth rate is 11 which is considered low. The crude birth
rate is the number of live births per thousand of population per year. When this is compared to the
world birth rate it is a little lower. According to the table provided the crude birth rate is a stable
indicator. It is stable because it has not changed much in recent years and is pretty even to the region
of Canada. Because it is stable, it is also a good environment to live in. The birth rate is low because
in Canada there are higher standards of living, in addition to higher education levels. With the total
fertility rate being low, that can come in the factor of the low birth rate from the last couple of years.
2.1 children per woman are required to replace the population in the absence of migration. Some key
factors of why the fertility rate fell were for 3 costly events that affected a lot of countries. First in
the 1930s it had a big decline due to the great depression. In the 1970s it also declined due to the
energy crisis. The last major event was in 2011 and it was the Great Recession. With the Great

Commonly found in developed countries, nations usually have long life expectancies, stable
governments, and quality health support. One example of this is the United States of America
(shown right).
Next, there is Declining Growth, in which a country's pyramid is shaped much like a diamond. The
middle section bulges the most in terms of population, and youth as well as elderly are in lower
numbers. Nations with negative growth population most likely have birth rates that are too low.
Nevertheless, these countries are often developed and posses long life expectancy, balanced, secure
government systems, and quality health care. Japan is a clear example of being in this state (shown
left).
Finally, Rapid Growth is the third and most typical form of a population graph. Iraq expresses this
structure and stage of demographic transition, in which a large base become less wide as you

care, and low life expectancy. It also is linked with developing, or underdeveloped nations.

What can you tell about a population by looking at its population pyramid?
Population pyramid is a visual representation of a population and it's distribution with relation to the
young, old, female, and male individuals residing in a particular country or region. Each horizontal
bar within the pyramid represents a 10–year birth group; in other words, each of the bars represents
individuals born during that same 10–year period. By comparing these bars we can identify
approximate proportion of each birth cohort and any population growth, decline or increase/decrease
in the death rates. For example, baby boomers bulge is reflected in the 2000 population pyramid of
the United States, and those that follow. However, as we take a look towards the bottom of the same
pyramid we can see that the pyramid begins to reflect a "bean stuck" shape, which is indicative of
decline in fertility, less people are having children (they are replacing selves, but are not increasing
in number). As we look at the projected 2025 and 2050 population pyramids we can see that the
pyramid takes on more of the "bean stuck" shape further supporting the fact that there is a decline in
birthrates while at the same time reduction in death rates for the older cohorts. These findings are
