Here are possible FRQ topics for Unit 2. Make sure you go back and review the FRQ 101 powerpoint (in UNIT 1 Review ) and the FRQ verbs pdf (in UNIT 1 Review) to help you answer the free response question.
The Demographic Transition Model can help explain population issues and categorize countries with regard to population and economics. Please explain the five stages of the model, and give an example of a country at each stage. Malthus’s theory of population was revolutionary. Do you think Malthus was correct? Why or why not? Ravenstein’s Gravity Model helped explain the trends in migrations. List and provide an example of each of the laws. How to demographers determine the Human Development Index ranking for a country? How can you use this to determine which stage the country falls into the model? How would the Gravity Model be different for each level of the Human Development Index? |
