Terms and Concepts Assignment – Ch. 2 – Population
Assignment: You must complete 7 of the 15 words below. 2 of the words should be
from #1-5, 2 of the words should be from #6-10, and 2 of the words should be from
#11-15 (the 7th word can be from anywhere on the list). Try to pick words that you
are unfamiliar with (it will help you with test preparation!) Please make sure you
are working individually.
1. Demography
2. Ecumene
3. Arithmetic Density
4. Physiological Density
5. Doubling Time
6. Demographic Transition Model
7. Population Pyramid
8. Dependency Ratio
9. Neo-Malthusianism
10. Epidemiologic Transition
11. Eugenic Population Policies
12. Restrictive Population Policies
13. Rate of Natural Increase
14. Stationary Population Level (SPL)
15. One-Child Policy
For each of the words above, please complete the following:
a. Write ONE useable definition for the term (a definition that is
accurate that you can actually remember)
b. Provide TWO examples for that term (for example, if “Restrictive
population policies” is one of your words, give two examples of
restrictive population policies).
c. Develop a 1-3 sentence creation that incorporates THREE population
geography terms, the one that you are focusing on plus two other
words. I’ll give you two examples using “Demographic Transition
Model,” we’ll see if you can figure out the best example.
i. EXAMPLE #1 – “Demographic Transition Model,
demography, and ecumene are three words that deal with
population geography.”
ii. EXAMPLE #2 – “The Demographic Transition Model (DTM)
is based, in part, on the Rate of Natural Increase. Countries
that have a Stationary Population Level would likely be in
Stage 4 of the DTM.”
iii. Can you figure out which is the better example? (HINT: It’s
not #1!)
