People and Environment• Inhabitants adapt to their
surroundings• Yet can also alter the physical
landscape–cutting trees for farming/grazing–damming rivers/building
cities

Population Density• Average number of people in a
square mile/kilometer
• Way to figure if region can hold population
• Calculation: Total population of region/land area
• Pull out cell phone/calculator

Population Growth
• Drastic increase has occurred in last century–Effects - famine, disease, resource
depletion or increased productivity
–SOLUTIONS?
–Well, 1 student said it best “Stop having kids!”

Look at the Population Carefully
1750......790 million1800......980 million1850...1,260 million 1900...1,650 million 1950...2,555 million2000...6,080 million* in 50 years pop. doubled
Why?

Growth Rates
• Birthrate - # of births each year per 1,000 people
• Death rate - # of deaths each year per 1,000 people
• We will do complex calculations dealing with these
![Page 10: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Immigrants/Emigrants
• Immigrant - people moving into country
• Emigrant - people moving out of country
![Page 11: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Zero Population Growth”
• Combined birthrate and immigration rate = combined death rate and emigration rate
• For you math students: br + immigration = dr + emigration
• “Stop having kids!”

Population Patterns
• People are moving to cities and surrounding suburbs from rural areas (countrysides)
• Urbanization - growth of city population
• Why are people
moving to the cities?

3 Areas of Greatest Population Density

Culture• Passed on through
generations
• Changes rather slowly
• Can be material (things people make by hand) or nonmaterial (religion, language, behavior)

Language
• Communication or how they pass on thoughts/ideas
• Those who speak the same language generally share customs

Religion
• Helps answer what is meaning of life–usually supports values of region
• Monotheism - belief in one god
• Polytheism - belief in more than one god

Characteristics of Country
• Defined territory
• Population
• Sovereignty - rule’s itself
• Government
![Page 21: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Territory
• All land and water within its borders
![Page 22: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 23: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Government Structure• Gov. contain smaller units
(states, provinces, republics)–Unitary - central gov. makes
laws for everyone
–Federal - some power to CG, some to states
–Confederation - states keep sovereignty, CG limited
![Page 24: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Government Control• 1. Authoritarian - leaders hold all
power–Dictatorship - power given to
person/small group
–Totalitarianism - gov. controls everything (politics, economy)
–Monarchy - rule through family
• 2. Democracy - people choose leaders to represent them
![Page 25: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Economic Systems
• 1. Capitalism - people determine what/how much produced by buying–Gov. should have no part in
economy
![Page 26: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Communism
• State makes all economic decisions –owns operates farms, factories,
business
–sets personal salary
![Page 27: People and Environment Inhabitants adapt to their surroundings Yet can also alter the physical landscape –cutting trees for farming/grazing –damming.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7b5503460f94b7c138/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3. Socialism
• Mixed economy - part state ran/ part capitalist - jointly making decisions–Wealth distributed more equally where
everyone entitled to certain services (“Welfare States”)
