Australia's population is currently growing at its fastest rate in almost 20 years due to both natural increase and immigration. Key characteristics of Australia's population include a population size of over 20 million that is concentrated along the eastern coast, an aging population structure, and an increasingly diverse ethnic composition with over a quarter of Australians being foreign-born or having foreign-born parents. The total fertility rate has risen in recent years but remains below replacement level.

Population explosion
Population explosion is the phenomenon of the size of a population tending to a very large number in a finite interval of time is called population explosion i.e., rapid increase in population for a long time may be termed as "population explosion".
Birth rate is much higher than the death rate for long time may lead to population explosion.
The literal meaning of population is "the whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region".
The main factors affecting the population change are the birth rate, death rate and migration.
Migration is the number of people moving in (immigration) or out (emigration) of a country, place or locality.
The population change is calculated by the formula:
Population change = (Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)
Population explosion or overpopulation refers to a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat.
Every sixth person on globe today is every Indian.
India adds about 10 lakh persons to its population every fortnight.
India adds one Australia every eight months.
By 2045 or earlier, India would overtake china as the world's most populous country.
49% of the increase in India's population is from four states Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, UP.
Population
India has a population of over 1 billion people which is growing exponentially, even though it only has 2.4% of the world's land area. A population refers to all organisms of the same species living in the same geographic area. India's population growth problem has three dimensions: the number of people versus limited resources, people versus cultural resources, and satisfying all of people's physical, mental and social needs. High birth rates combined with declining death rates have led to population explosion in India, where the birth rate is 30.5 per 1000 people and the death rate is 10.2 per 1000 people. Some key causes of the high birth rate include early marriage, low standards of living, low education, tradition and culture, ignorance
DEMOGRAPHY
Demography is the statistical study of human populations. It examines the size, structure, and distribution of populations, as well as changes to them over time due to births, deaths, and migration. Key demographic indicators include birth rates, death rates, fertility rates, and life expectancy. Demographic data helps analyze population growth and structure.
Demography ppt
Demography is the scientific study of human populations, including their size, composition, and distribution over time and space. It involves the collection and analysis of data about populations and population changes. The main sources of demographic data are population censuses, national sample surveys, and registration of vital events like births and deaths. Demographic data is important for planning health services and programs by providing information about the health status, size, and characteristics of communities. The 2011 Indian census collected data on population size, composition, distribution and socio-economic variables from over 240 million households across India. This data helps the government target benefits and plan development programs.
Demographic trends in india
India's population has grown significantly over the past century and is projected to surpass China's population by 2050. Key points:
- India's population doubled from 361 million in 1951 to 846 million in 1991 and reached over 1.2 billion in 2011.
- The population growth rate has declined but population continues to rise rapidly due to the large youth population.
- India's age structure is characterized by a broad base and tapering top on age pyramids, indicative of developing countries with high birth rates.
- Sex ratios in India have historically been unfavorable to women and declined further over time, indicating a preference for male children.
Population
This document discusses Malthusian theories of population. It states that Thomas Malthus recognized that population grows geometrically while food production grows arithmetically, leading to scarcity. Malthus proposed two checks on population growth - positive checks like famine, war that directly increase mortality, and preventive checks like moral restraint and artificial birth control that decrease fertility rates. The document also summarizes India's population characteristics, the impact of population explosion on development, and government programs to control population like the National Family Welfare Programme and National Population Policy.

Population pyramids
A population pyramid provides information about the proportion of males and females in different age groups. It shows the proportion of young, working-age, and elderly populations. Population pyramids can have triangular, beehive, or rectangular shapes depending on birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns. The shape and proportions revealed in a population pyramid tell the story of a country's demographic past, present, and possible future, making them important tools for policy planning and comparing countries.
Demography.
This document provides an overview of demography and its key concepts. It defines demography as the statistical study of human populations with regards to size, structure, and changes due to births, deaths, and migration. Some important elements of demography discussed include population size, composition by age and sex, and distribution across territories. Demographic data is important for planning health services, economic and social development, and formulating policies. Common demographic indicators mentioned are crude birth rate, death rate, and life expectancy. Methods of collecting demographic data include censuses, surveys, interviews, and reviewing vital records.
Fertility and its indicators
Fertility refers to the ability to reproduce and have children. It is measured through indicators like crude birth rate, general fertility rate, and total fertility rate. Fertility is influenced by various social, economic, cultural and demographic factors. Education, age at marriage, contraceptive use, income levels and women's empowerment play a key role in determining fertility rates. Developing countries generally have higher fertility compared to developed countries due to factors like poverty, lack of education and family planning programs.
Malthus' theory of population growth
Thomas Malthus theorized that population grows exponentially while food production increases arithmetically, meaning population will eventually outpace food supply. He argued population is kept in check by positive factors like famine, disease that raise death rates, and negative factors like delayed marriage that lower birth rates. While Malthus' ideas highlighted overpopulation concerns, they ignored unequal resource distribution. Modern relevance of Malthus' theory continues to be debated.
Factors Affecting Fertility and Public Health Interventions
Fertility is affected by biological, social, economic, and cultural factors. Biologically, fertility is highest between ages 15-49 and can be impacted by health and nutrition. Socially, marriage age, contraceptive use, and abortion access influence fertility rates. Economically, children's perceived economic role affects fertility - in traditional societies children contribute to family wealth so fertility is higher. Public health interventions aim to control high fertility through family planning services, safe motherhood programs, community health programs, and adolescent health education to promote smaller, healthier families.

Population explosion final.pptx
India has the second highest population in the world. Some key causes of population growth in India include high birth rates due to factors like universality of marriage and low standards of living, as well as decreased death rates due to better healthcare. This population explosion leads to issues like overexploitation of natural resources, increased environmental pollution, and poverty. India's population is characterized by its age structure, sex ratio, and dependency ratio. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) works on issues related to population dynamics worldwide.
Malthus theory
Thomas Malthus published his influential theory of population growth in 1798, proposing that human populations grow geometrically while the food supply grows arithmetically, inevitably leading to famine unless checks on population occur. Malthus suggested "positive checks" like famine and disease and "negative checks" like delayed marriage that reduce birth rates. While controversial, his theory inspired Darwin's concept of the struggle for survival and examined the relationship between population and resources. Malthusian catastrophe predicts population will be forced to return to subsistence levels once it outstrips agricultural production. His theory remains debated but influenced later thinkers exploring limits to economic and population growth.
Epidemiological approach and methods
The document discusses the epidemiological approach and methods. There are two basic approaches: asking questions and making comparisons. Asking questions involves identifying health problems, who is affected, when and where issues occur, contributing factors, and actions that can be taken. Comparisons can be made between populations, subgroups, and time periods. Epidemiological studies systematically collect and analyze health data to describe problems, identify associated factors, and form hypotheses. There are two main types of studies: observational studies that observe groups without intervention and experimental studies that introduce a treatment to evaluate effectiveness compared to standard care.
Sources of demographic data
This document discusses the main sources of demographic data, including population censuses, administrative records, vital registration systems, sample surveys, and universal population registers. Population censuses conducted every 10 years are the primary source of demographic data worldwide. They provide information on population size, composition, and fertility and mortality rates. Administrative records like health statistics are also widely used but depend on complete recording. Vital registration systems specifically track births, deaths, marriages and provide key fertility and mortality data, though many developing countries' systems remain limited. Sample surveys offer flexibility to investigate various demographic variables and update census data. Universal population registers maintained in some developed countries continuously collect lifetime statistics.
Demography
Demography is the study of human populations focusing on population size, composition, and distribution. It deals with 5 demographic processes: fertility, mortality, marriage, migration, and social mobility. Demography can be static, focusing on population structure, or dynamic, focusing on changing patterns of mortality, fertility, and migration. India's population growth rate is the net of crude birth and death rates. India's population is young with 34.33% under 15 and growing elderly population above 60 years. Sex ratio is females per 1000 males and is adverse to women in India. Dependency ratio considers under 15 and over 65 as dependent on 15-64 age group. India's age pyramid is broad at the base and tapering at the top.
Demography
Demography as the statistical study of human population with regard to their size & structure, their composition by sex, age, marital status and ethnic origin, and the changes to these population, like changes in their birth rates, death rates and immigration.
Demography is the branch of social size, structure, which deals with the study of size, structure and distribution of populations, along with the spatial and temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, ageing and death.
In demography the following three elements of population are given special attention:
Change in the size of population (increase or decrease)
Structure of population (on the basis of sex or age groups)
Geographical distribution of population (on the basis of state or territory).
Theories of population growth Malthus Theory
Malthus's theory of population held that population grows exponentially while food production grows arithmetically, inevitably leading to famine unless checks on population growth occur. The theory was proposed by Thomas Malthus in 1798 based on observations of population growth in Western Europe. Malthus believed population would double every 25 years due to human desire for sex and prosperity, while food production could only increase incrementally through agriculture. This would cause periodic famines, wars, or disease that act as "positive checks" on population growth, or preventive methods like later marriages could act as "preventive checks". The theory was an early attempt to link population growth and economic and social factors but faced criticism for assumptions about constant growth rates and
Concepts of demography
Demography is the scientific study of human populations and their characteristics. It deals with five key demographic processes: size, distribution, structure, change (through births, deaths, and migration), and characteristics like ethnicity, economic status, and more. Data comes from sources like censuses, surveys, vital event registration, and demographic studies. India's population as of 2011 was over 1.2 billion, with a density of 382 per square km and urbanization increasing. Key indicators include crude birth rate, death rate, growth rate, sex ratio, dependency ratio, and life expectancy.
Population explosion causes and its consequences
1) High population growth is caused by high fertility rates, decreasing infant mortality rates, and increasing lifespans. 2) The consequences of overpopulation include overexploitation of natural resources, increased environmental pollution, and more poverty and malnutrition. 3) India has implemented measures like family planning programs since 1952 to promote smaller families and control population growth through education, contraceptive distribution, and voluntary sterilization programs.
A Brief Discussion on demographic transition theory.
Demographic transition (DT) refers to the transition from high birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates as a country or region develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system.
IT IS GIVEN BY: FrankW. Notestein. Frank Wallace Notestein (August 16, 1902 – February 19, 1983)
The demographic transition theory is a generalized description of the changing pattern of mortality, fertility and growth rates as societies move from one demographic regime to another.

Factors influencing population growth
This document compares population growth in Jamaica and India. It discusses factors influencing growth such as birth rates, death rates, and migration. In Jamaica, birth and fertility rates have decreased in recent decades due to more career-focused women, birth control availability, and emigration exceeding immigration. In India, high poverty rates, religious beliefs encouraging large families, and decreasing death rates have contributed to continued population growth, despite some emigration.
National Population Policy
The document discusses India's population policy and goals. It notes that India had 1 billion people in 2000 and will likely become the most populous country by 2045. National population policies were introduced in 1976 and 2000 to influence demographics like fertility rates and reduce population growth. The 2000 policy's goals included improving health services, achieving replacement fertility levels, and a stable population of 1.1 billion by 2010 through social and economic development. It outlines the causes and effects of overpopulation in India as well as progress towards goals on metrics like infant mortality and institutional deliveries.
Small family norm - Community Health Nursing
Small families have significant benefits for individuals, families, communities, and countries. A small family norm implies limiting family size, which positively impacts quality of life, economic standards, health outcomes, education levels, and use of resources. Large or unplanned families can negatively affect these areas for both parents and children due to issues like early marriage, too frequent pregnancies, and lack of attention and resources per child. Efforts are being made to promote the small family norm through family planning services, raising female literacy, and improving overall social and economic conditions.

Demographic attributes of developed, developing and 3rd world countries
There are several key demographic attributes of developed, developing, and third world countries. Developed countries have high levels of industrialization and urbanization, along with high per capita incomes dependent on secondary and tertiary sectors. However, they still face population problems like longevity, small workforces, rural populations, and urbanization. Developing countries have over three-fourths of the world's population and lower levels of technology, facing issues such as rapid population growth, unemployment, poor living standards, malnutrition, and slow industrial growth. Third world countries are those not aligned with capitalist or communist systems, though the term is less preferred now. Many have weaker resources and larger populations than others.

Population and demography
Population and demography are major areas of study for social scientists. A population is defined as a group of individuals occupying a particular place at a given time. Key factors in defining a population are group, place, and time. Population growth impacts issues like housing, food security, and the environment. Demography statistically analyzes population characteristics like size, composition by age and sex, birth and death rates, and immigration. Demographic data is important for policymaking and predicting future trends. Sources of demographic data include censuses, vital statistics like birth and death records, and surveys. Population change is influenced by fertility, mortality, and migration. Population pyramids display the age and sex structure of a population.
Demography
Demography is the statistical study of human populations and encompasses the size, structure, and distribution of populations over time and space in response to births, deaths, and migration. Demographic data can be collected directly from vital records like censuses or birth/death records, or indirectly by surveying samples about topics like fertility rates. The scope of demography includes both macro-level trends like economic issues and population growth, as well as micro-level topics like individual families. A balanced view of demography encompasses factors like population size, composition, distribution, labor forces, and population policies.
Demography of india
India has a population of over 1.21 billion people as of 2010, making it the second most populous country in the world. The population is young, with 64.9% of people between the ages of 15-64. Literacy rates have increased but are still only 74% overall. The major religions are Hinduism and Islam. While the female sex ratio has improved slightly in recent decades, it remains unbalanced. Most Indians work in agriculture, but employment is growing fastest in the services sector. Income levels remain low, with per capita income of only around $1,200 USD.

Some main findings are that Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have the highest population growth, births declined along the decade, and the death rate drop has exceeded the birth rate drop leading to continued growth. Factors like education, family planning programs, and immigration affect population trends in each state.
Vital statistics
The document discusses vital statistics, which are numerical records of life events like births, deaths, marriages, and divorces that can be used to study public health trends. Vital statistics are collected through civil registration systems and sample surveys. They provide data to evaluate health programs, plan for disease control, inform legislation and policymaking, and allow comparisons between populations. Important vital statistics include crude death rate, age-specific death rate, infant mortality rate, neonatal mortality rate, post-neonatal mortality rate, and maternal mortality rate.
Factors affecting consumer's attitudes toward mobile marketing
This document summarizes a study that investigated factors affecting Saudi consumers' attitudes toward mobile marketing. The study focused on four independent variables: customer satisfaction with advertising messages, customer trust in advertising messages, the value and utility of offers in advertising messages, and brands of products offered in advertising messages. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a convenience sample, which was then analyzed using statistical techniques like regression analysis. The results confirmed that all four independent variables had a significant effect on Saudi consumers' attitudes toward mobile marketing. The document provides context on mobile marketing and reviews literature related to consumer attitudes, customer satisfaction, customer trust, value and utility, and brands. It also summarizes several previous studies on related topics.
Demography and Tourism
Demography is the most important external factor that will shape the future of tourism. In many developed nations this discussion has centred on the rapidly ageing populations and the impact of this phenomena. Governments and populations are facing changes whether it is increased cost of government pensions, the growth of health care costs, the impact of population growth in cities or the emergence of new family and household structures due to delayed family formulation, declining birth rates and growing divorce rates. The direction and composition of demographic trends will significantly shape the future of society and tourism. But it is not all doom and gloom, for the tourism industry, there is massive opportunity as we enter an era of ageless society where age is undefined. Drawing material from 'Tourism and Demography' a new book by Yeoman et al, Drs Yeoman and Smith address the contribution of the book to the literature on tourism and demography through a series of cognitive maps.
Stack Formation
This document discusses the geological processes that occur at headlands and in bays. Headlands experience high energy destructive wave conditions that erode and undermine the cliffs, forming features like wave-cut notches, caves, stacks, and stumps. Bays have more sheltered, low energy conditions with constructive waves and deposition in shallow waters.
Australia Tourism Case Study
The Tourism Australia campaign targets "Experience Seekers" through a personalized message strategy. Australians were invited to upload nearly 30,000 stories and images to a website to promote their favorite places in Australia. The campaign utilized a standardized global framework with localized marketing in different international markets. The kangaroo and sunrise in the logo symbolize Australian culture and reflect the campaign's tagline "There's Nothing Like Australia".
Adventure Tourism 7th March 2011
This document summarizes an adventure tourism presentation. It begins by defining adventure tourism and categorizing it into soft and hard adventure. It then discusses the target market for adventure tourism, which tends to be older, independent travelers over 40 with disposable income seeking unique experiences. Several examples are given of real people who engaged in adventure tourism and their motivations. The document concludes by outlining future challenges the industry may face, such as maintaining an authentic experience as it grows or dealing with risk, and recommends strategies like vetting suitable customers and focusing on health, safety, and environmental initiatives.

Population by suresh kumar kundur
The document discusses population growth and structure. It begins by outlining factors that affect population distribution and density, such as physical, social, economic and political influences. It then describes population concepts like birth rate, death rate, natural increase/decrease, and density. Models of population change are presented, including the demographic transition model and population pyramids. Population pyramids illustrate age and sex structures and can indicate development levels. Overpopulation causes and problems are also summarized.

Chris pharr
Australia's population is growing at one of the fastest rates in decades due to a combination of a relatively high immigration rate and a rising birth rate, with two-thirds of growth coming from immigration, though the country still has a low overall birth rate of around 1.8 children per woman. Population growth presents both opportunities like economic expansion but also challenges around housing, infrastructure, and supporting new immigrants. Environmentalists also express concerns about the impacts of a larger population on greenhouse gas emissions and natural resource use.
SociologyExchange.co.uk Shared Resource
Family and population are closely linked. The size, age structure, and characteristics of a population are studied in demography. Factors like birth rates, death rates, and migration influence population size. In the UK, the population grew from 10.5 million in 1801 to 61 million in 2007 due to declining death rates and increasing births, though birth rates have since declined. An aging population with fewer births and more deaths means the UK population is projected to rise more slowly to 71 million by 2031.
Population Class, Section 1 B
Rapid population growth has negative economic, health, and social consequences according to the document. It impedes economic development, reduces health and welfare especially for women and children, and increases demands on education and jobs systems. When these demands are not met, it can increase volatility and risk of violence among young populations. The first impact of reducing fertility is increasing health and welfare of women and children. Rapid growth also increases the proportion of young people in societies.
1 F Graeme Hugo
Prior to the GFC, Australia was experiencing its most rapid population growth since 1972. This presentation suggests that the GFC will lead to a reduction in population growth in Australia due to a fall in both fertility and international migration. However, it also argues that regardless of global and Australian economic trends there are fundamental demographic factors which necessitate the maintenance of significant population growth into the future. Some of the implications of these trends for business are explored.

Demographic Transitioning Modelling Gr 8
The document discusses the demographic transition model (DTM) which describes 5 stages of population change that countries typically pass through as they develop economically and socially. Stage 1 involves high and fluctuating birth and death rates, resulting in a stable population. Stages 2-3 involve declining death rates leading to population growth. Stage 4 has low and stable birth and death rates. Stage 5 has declining birth rates below death rates. The document provides details on characteristics and drivers of population change at each stage.
Demography
This document provides information about demography and population trends through history and around the world. It discusses world population growth over time, showing that it took longer to add each subsequent billion people. It also shows population growth patterns between more developed and less developed regions. Other topics summarized include the demographic transition model, which predicts changes in birth and death rates as countries develop, population pyramids and what they indicate about a population, and factors that influence population growth and distribution.
DTM (1).pptx
The document discusses population pyramids and how to interpret them. It provides examples of population pyramids for Ethiopia and the UK to demonstrate the differences between less and more economically developed countries. The pyramids show that developing countries have wider bases and narrower tops, indicating high birth rates, while developed country pyramids are taller with more pronounced tops, reflecting lower birth rates. The document also analyzes changes between Mexico's 1980 and 2000 population pyramids to illustrate how reduced death rates can impact a country's age structure over time.

The document discusses the myth of egalitarianism in postwar Australia. It notes that while the state promoted egalitarianism, cultural policy reinforced a monocultural British identity. The loosening of the White Australia policy led to an influx of non-British immigrants between 1945-1960. The policy of assimilation expected Aboriginal people to adopt white Australian culture, but instead led to the destruction of Aboriginal culture and ongoing inequality. While multiculturalism has been promoted since the 1970s, inequality remains an issue today due to disparities in wages, wealth, and education.

- Australia has a population of over 20 million people as of 2006, with the majority of the population between 15-64 years old. Christianity is the dominant religion.
- English is the primary language of Australia, though Chinese and Italian are also commonly spoken. Sydney has a population of over 4 million people and a relatively low population density compared to other major cities.
- When visiting Australia, travelers should apply for a visa, pack appropriate clothing for the weather, bring a camera, exchange money for Australian dollars, and research attractions in their destination city. It is also recommended to travel with companions and pack any necessary medical supplies.
Dtm
As a population transitions from high birth/death rates to lower rates (demographic transition), its pyramid shape changes from wide at the base to more rectangular. As birth rates decline, the base narrows, resulting in a "bulge" in working age groups. With increased lifespans, the top of the pyramid expands as more people survive to older ages. Migration impacts can thin or expand different age groups. Ultimately, as replacement-level fertility is sustained, the pyramid becomes more rectangular with similar numbers in each age group.

Society: The Basics, Eleventh Edition, by John J. Macionis. Published by Prentice Hall. Copyright © 2011 by Pearson Education, Inc.
All across the Great Plains, towns are hanging on by a thread. This
chapter investigates population patterns, explaining why people move
from place to place, why some cities get so large, and why small towns
sometimes die. It will also look at the effects on the physical environ-
ment of population change and our way of life.
Demography: The Study
of Population
When humans first began to cultivate plants some 12,000 years ago,
Earth’s entire Homo sapiens population was about 5 million, or about
the number of people living in Colorado today. Very slow growth
pushed the total in 1 C.E. to perhaps 300 million, or about the popu-
lation of the United States today.
Starting around 1750, world population began to spike upward.
We are currently adding nearly 83 million people to the planet each
year; the world now holds 6.8 billion people.
The causes and consequences of this drama are the focus of
demography, the study of human population. Demography (from the
Greek, meaning “description of people”) is a cousin of sociology that
analyzes the size and composition of a population and studies how
and why people move from place to place. Demographers not only
collect statistics but also raise important questions about the effects
of population growth and suggest how it might be controlled. The
following sections present basic demographic concepts.
Fertility
The study of human population begins with how many people are
born. Fertility is the incidence of childbearing in a country’s population.
During a woman’s childbearing years, from the onset of menstruation
(typically in the early teens) to menopause (usually in the late for-
ties), she is capable of bearing more than twenty children. But
fecundity, or maximum possible childbearing, is sharply reduced by
cultural norms, finances, and personal choice.
Demographers describe fertility using the crude birth rate, the
number of live births in a given year for every 1,000 people in a popu-
lation. To calculate a crude birth rate, divide the number of live births
in a year by the total population and multiply the result by 1,000. In
the United States in 2008, there were 4.25 million live births in a pop-
ulation of 304 million, yielding a crude birth rate of 14.0 (Hamil-
ton, Martin, & Ventura, 2010).

Roots
The document discusses trends in the UK population including aging, immigration, and regional shifts. Some key points:
- The proportion of over-60s is expected to rise significantly, increasing the dependency ratio and challenging the economy.
- Immigration has helped offset population aging but its future impact is uncertain.
- Younger workers have moved to southern and eastern regions while older residents settle in coastal and rural areas.
- The upcoming decades will see the large "baby boom" generation retire, placing greater burden on a smaller working-age population to support them. Careful planning is needed to address this challenge.
Population geography intro
The document discusses various factors related to population including:
- Current world population is over 6.77 billion and estimated to reach over 9 billion by 2050.
- Population distribution patterns show 75% of people live within 1000km of coastlines.
- Factors that affect population growth include birth rates, mortality rates, fertility rates, and infant mortality rates.
- Population structure examines age distribution in categories like 0-14, 15-64, and 65+.

Source analysis
This document discusses key concepts for historians in evaluating primary and secondary sources. It defines primary sources as those created during the time period being studied, and secondary sources as those created afterwards. When determining usefulness, reliability, and limitations, historians consider factors like the author, date, intended audience, message, and completeness of information. While primary sources have the advantage of being contemporaneous, both primary and secondary sources can be useful or unreliable depending on thorough analysis. The reliability of a source may also depend on balancing multiple perspectives.
Professional Goal Setting
Michael Jordan emphasizes setting specific, achievable short-term goals and taking small incremental steps to achieve long-term goals. He reflects on how setting and achieving a series of short-term goals, such as making the varsity basketball team, built his confidence and led to greater successes. Psychology professor Dr. Gail Matthews conducted a study showing people who wrote down goals, shared them with a friend, and provided weekly updates were 33% more likely to achieve their goals than those who just thought about goals. Her research supports the effectiveness of accountability, commitment to goals and actions, and writing goals down.
Mexico inquiry
The document discusses migration from Mexico to the United States. It provides background on Enrique Aquilar Canchola, a 42-year-old man who unsuccessfully tried to sneak across the border from Mexico to California disguised as a bus seat in July 2006. It also lists common push and pull factors for migration and has students identify the most and least important factors and discuss whether Mexicans achieve all potential pull factors by migrating to the US.
Changes in technology affecting Globalisation
Recent advances in communication and transport technologies have increased globalization and changed how economies and cultures interact. The internet and satellite technologies now allow near-instant sharing of information worldwide, enabling small businesses to market globally. Improved air, land, and sea transport technologies like large passenger jets and container ships have reduced travel and shipping costs, boosting tourism, business, and international trade. However, some countries still restrict internet access and global connectivity.
human environments student work sample 2
The document proposes renovations to create an eco-friendly gym and pool centre at a school. It includes plans to install solar panels and a rainwater collection system, upgrade facilities with environmentally friendly features, and add landscaping with native vegetation. The renovations would improve existing facilities like the pool, change rooms, and gym, while reducing water and energy usage through sustainable designs.
Physical & human environments student work sample
1) The document proposes designs for a new PE center, including underground gym and courts for cooling, solar heating for the pool, and native drought-resistant plants.
2) Ionization is discussed as a water purification method using a low electric current to generate ions that destroy algae and bacteria.
3) Rainwater harvesting is suggested to collect roof water for gardens and topping up the pool, rather than pumping directly to the pool.
Human & Physical Environment Group task
The school intends to build a new gym and pool facility that can seat 200 people on the site of the current gym and pool. However, the school council is unhappy with the proposed plan. As a construction team that specializes in environmentally friendly school buildings, the group must:
1) Investigate the proposed site and potential alternative sites to propose a design that harmonizes the human and physical environmental elements.
2) Develop a cardboard model and presentation that includes labeled diagrams of the relevant physical (flora, fauna, soil, air, water, heat and light) and human (political, socio-cultural, economic) environmental factors and explains why the chosen site is best.

Cultural Integration Matching Terms
Globalization and cultural integration are occurring through various processes:
1) The removal of trade barriers and deregulation allows for the free movement of goods and people internationally.
2) Cultural diffusion spreads different cultural elements between countries through processes like adoption, adaptation and homogenization.
3) Large transnational corporations operate across many countries, influencing cultures.
4) Advances in technology and transportation have "shrunk" time and space, connecting people and cultures globally.

Tsunami 2004
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a 9.1-magnitude earthquake near Sumatra, Indonesia. It generated tsunami waves up to 30 meters high that spread throughout the Indian Ocean and affected 14 countries. Over 230,000 people were killed or left missing. The tsunami had devastating social, environmental, and economic impacts on coastal communities. The Australian government responded with humanitarian aid and relief efforts to support recovery in affected regions.
Vertical Exaggeration
Vertical exaggeration (VE) refers to how much a cross-sectional profile has been exaggerated compared to the actual terrain. To calculate VE, divide the vertical scale by the horizontal scale. The vertical scale represents the height units per centimeter on the profile, while the horizontal scale is the map scale used to create the profile. The VE number indicates how many times the vertical axis has been stretched compared to the horizontal axis.
Gradient
The document discusses how to measure and describe gradients on maps and in the field. It explains that gradient measures the steepness of a slope by calculating the rise over the run between two points. An example calculation is shown where the rise is 42 meters and the run is 600 meters, resulting in a gradient of 1 in 14.3. This means that for every 14.3 meters traveled along the ground, one would go up one meter, indicating a gentle slope. The document asks the reader to consider how gradient relates to land use and hazards like bushfires.
Scale
A ratio scale indicates the relationship between a distance on a map and the actual distance on the ground. It is commonly written as 1:X, where 1 cm on the map represents X cm in real life. To convert from a ratio scale to meters, the last two zeros are dropped; to convert to a ratio scale from meters, two zeros are added. Larger ratio scales like 1:100,000 show less detail over a larger area compared to smaller ratio scales like 1:20,000 that show more detail over a smaller area. The scale allows distances and areas on the map to be calculated.
Area
The document discusses the dimensions of grids on topographic maps, noting that a standard grid is 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer, equaling 1 square kilometer. It also provides the conversion that 1 square kilometer equals 1,000,000 square meters. The key point to remember from the document is the relationship between square kilometers and square meters.
Gaming as Formative Assessment
The document describes using online quizzes and games for formative assessment in geography classes. It discusses tracking student progress through quizzes they complete as homework and submit screenshots of their scores. It provides examples of online quizzes and games students have played individually or in groups on the smartboard. The document also mentions having students create their own games, like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, using PowerPoint templates. Finally, it includes an example of a "Roaming Bingo" game used as a pre-test to assess students' prior geography knowledge through questions answered by finding different classmates.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
