How did that happen?
How did that happen?
McDonald’s originates in the
United States
Saudi Arabian citizens travel to the
United States.

McDonald’s originates in the

What are some results of cultures changing?
“CULTURAL” DIFFUSION--
CONVERGENCE vs. DIVERGENCE
• CONVERGENCE: Cultures becoming more similar to
each other
• Saudi Arabia and China
“CULTURAL” DIFFUSION--
CONVERGENCE vs. DIVERGENCE
• DIVERGENCE: Cultures becoming more dissimilar
Rural China vs. Urban China
Is this convergence or divergence?
DIVERGENCE!
• Despite the migration of Europeans to Australia,
the cultures have remained distinct
Is this convergence or divergence?
CONVERGENCE!

Population Pyramids
What can we learn about tomorrow looking at a population
pyramid today?
Parts of the Pyramid
MALE
POPULATION
AGE GROUPS
Oldest is at the top
FEMALE
POPULATION
So how do we read it?
Well…
• If you flip in on its side and cover
up ½ of it
• What type of graph do you get?
• Bar Graph!
1. What is the widest part of the pyramid?
2. What is the total population for ages 0-4?
3. Are there more males or females in the age range
10-14?
This is a POPULATION PYRAMID.
What’s that
stand for?
What do you notice?
Why do you
think that
might happen?
What’s that
mean?
What’s that
mean?
POPULATION PYRAMID
Let’s make predictions…
Are we ready
for this?
What could go
wrong?
If we know this
coming, what do
we need to do?
If we know this is
coming, what do
we need to do?
POPULATION PYRAMID
What is true when populations live longer?
• More elderly means more
people are retired,
therefore, a labor shortage.
• Fewer young people means
fewer people paying taxes;
therefore, difficulty with
social services.
• More elderly means more
people are on social
security; therefore,… uh oh.
POPULATION PYRAMID
What is true when populations are getting
larger?
• Huge population increase
means greater demand on
the food supply.
• More people means more
labor, but it also could mean
more unemployment and
labor abuse.
• More people means greater
demand for resources and
raw materials, which means
more deforestation which
means… uh oh.
If one were to construct a population pyramid
of a country that had recently been in an
extended war, which of the following would
likely be shown on that pyramid?
A. a large percentage of men in the 20 to 40 year old range
B. a larger percentage of men than of women
C.
a small percentage of men in the 20 to 40 year old range
D. a large percentage of babies in the 1 to 5 year old range
