They have 10 kids because resources are scarce?
Um, no. They've been doing that for 100s of years. It's only now with modern medicine that they're all living to be 60 or 70 as well, delivering 12 of their own kids.
Now that we have resources and medicine, etc - they're still having lots of babies. This strains world resources.
If you had a 16 year old daughter, you wouldn't want her to spit out 4 kids by the age of 20, because you know it would be YOUR time and resources needed for those kids. It's like that. I don't want 1 billion people becoming 3 billion in 30 years.... because oil will cost a lot more here. Selfish, I know.
yes they have been doing it for hunderds of years b/c the life expectancy was low they continue to do so b/c the life expectancy is low...ppl in africa that are having 10 kids dont have life expectancies of 60 or 70 bro. As life expectancy increases birth rates decline as there is no need to produce 10 children so that 2 will survive to maturity.
ADD ANTHROPOLOGY TO THAT LIST OF CLASSES FOR NEXT SEMESTER...if your not careful 240 youll end up with a 21 hour class load
The number of kids slowly drops as you will find if you do a tad bit of research into mexican americans and their birth rates from 1st generation immigrants to later generations. Western cultures tend to have less children whites in america right now dont even meet the replacement birth rate of something like 2.1 and like i said as others assimilate into our culture their birth rates decline.
Its not the middle class that does this bro its the poor immigrants that tend to have lots of kids(im not trying to be racists) its just the way it is research backs this up.
