-
More developed country: Has better technology, medicine, and resources. Controlled birth rates, and controlled death rates
Less developed country: Has high birth rates, high death rates, not good technology, poor medicine, and not enough resources.
Human development index: Measures life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators
Globalization: the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.
Pros - The new industries bring new jobs to the people who live in the countryside who need jobs.
Cons - As we have seen with china, more people get jobs that they cannot get out of because the minimum wage isn't high enough for them to get better jobs, and then move higher up in jobs. As well as the younger kids tend to go into these jobs and not get an education to support their family.
Geographic causes of inequality: Some reasons for a country to have geographic inequality are that it is too big which can cause splits in differences of culture through the general population. Another reason would be that they have too much resources that they can't negotiate with other countries because they can just get invaded. Another problem would be of a tropical climate because then its harder to cultivate different crops and breed different animals, as well as it brings in a plentiful of diseases that are hard to treat.
Gross Domestic Product(GDP)-the total value of all goods and services produced in a location over the period of 1 year. Mainly used for production values. GDP = Consumer spending + Business spending + government spending + Exports minus Imports
-
Geopolitics: Political issues that concern intercontinental problems outside of the borders of countries.
Push/Pull factors: Pull factors are things that bring people into a country like jobs, money, and asylum from war. Push factors are factors that push people away from a country, like war, poverty, corrupt governments.
-
Refugee: someone running from their country, either because of war, government, or a natural disaster.
Asylum: the place that the refugee runs to, so that they can get away from whatever they are running from.

-
Movement

-
GPS- Global Positioning System- Shows where you are based on satellite data that has a view of the world.
GIS- Geographical Informational Services- A map that you can project different data onto and show the different data of certain areas in the world.
-
Climographs-Shows precipitation and temperature in a certain area, over the duration of a year.
Population

Population Pyramids- Graphs of different genders outlining the amount of population per different age groups.
Slow stable growth: This usually has the graph having the age groups equally spaced with a slightly larger portion at the bottom signifying the growth.
Rapid growth: Large portion at the bottom of the graph shows that a place has a rapid growth, signifying large birth rates.
Negative/Declining growth: More elderly people, larger portions at the top of the graph signifying low birth rates and high death rates.
