Increasing the number of adopted children would reduce or eliminate the aging out of people from a child welfare system. As such, this paper looks into some of the ways by which to increase the number of adopted children; consequently, reducing the…

According to Demographic Transition Model, there has been a gradually shift from high fertility and mortality rates to a decline in birth rate and death rates, which leads to the ageing of populations in the world. Therefore, many scientists, developmental psychologists, healthcare professionals and even governments start to emphasis on the aging issue. In the previous years, ageing was simply associated with a decline in physical, psychological, social capacities and an increase in the risk…

In the article “The Tragedy of the Commons,” Hardin focuses on the problem of increasing population growth which he relates to a “tragedy of the commons.” His definition of the “tragedy of the commons” is when there is a resource that is shared with many people having access to it, people, who are generally self-interested and rational, will choose to maximize their profit because they will receive all of the benefit while not having to bear the full cost. Hardin gives an example with the…

Body-size and time have a unique relationship. Cope’s Rule explains this relationship by stating as time progress so does body-size. As an organism’s lineage ages, the general body-size becomes larger. This increase can have many benefits, but also drawbacks. Things like intelligence, development time, and fecundity are affected by body size. A study just released by Nature though might show that this rule does not always apply. A new effect is being observed that shows body-sizes may actually…

During Phase I both the CBR and the CDR are high, but balance out. Many children die before maturity, and so even though many are born the population does not grow. A population can remain in this state for long periods of time. It corresponds to human populations before industrialization. In Phase II the CDR declines, as it did during the early industrial period. Advances in hygiene and a better understanding of disease led to dramatic declines in child mortality. Because children are still…
