Population

Human beings have lived on earth for tens of thousands of years, and during most of that time their numbers were relatively small. Before agriculture was developed, the death rate was high, partly because of a limited food supply. But after people began to grow crops and raise animals for food, the death rate fell. And the population of the world slowly grew.

Changes in population are caused by births, deaths, and the movement of people into and out of a country. The number of children born, called the fertility of a population, increases the size of the population. The number of deaths, called mortality, decreases the population. Migration- the number of people entering or leaving a country – can cause either an increase or a decrease. Some people emigrate to another country because of economic and political reasons. A natural increase in the population of a country comes from a greater number of births than deaths.

The population of the world is not spread evenly over the earth. The average number of people who live in an area is called the population density. The most crowded continents are Asia and Europe.

The united state, Russia, and Japan – are industrial nations that have slow – growing populations. Six developing countries with rapidly growing populations are India, Indonesia, Brazil, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nigeria. If no major efforts are made to reduce fertility, population will multiply rapidly.

Many nations in the world try hard to suppress the population explosion. The governments are making the family planning program. In this program people are urged to limit the number of their children. So living standards should not be low. The life of each citizen should be prosperous, no matter of which nationality he is.

The Sound of the Wind

The beach has always been most people’s favorite place to get away from daily routines. Cibobas beach is located in Serang, Banten, and West Java. To be more specific, it’s about 45 kilometers away from southern Serang and 70 kilometers from Malimping, Bayah subdistrict, Lebak Regency, Banten province. The word Cibobos comes from the Sundanese words Ci and Bobos. Ci means water and Bobos means fart. People around this beach call it so, because the waves that touch the rocks produce farting-like sounds.

A virgin beach with clean sand and fresh air creates a calm and comforting atmosphere. Wonderful reefs that jut out from the sea add to the beautiful scenery of Hindia Ocean. Camping, rock climbing, and building sand castles are some of the fun activities that you can do together with your friends here.
