      Most of the Mexican-Born population is found in California, and Texas. They are also found in Illinois, and New York. The rest is located in the western part and the southern area of the United States

      This makes sense. Many cities are located in these areas. Also, Texas and Calif. are situated near Mexico.

      The majority of Mexican-born immigrants seem to be distributed near the Mexican border, as well as along the East Coast.  Large cities, especially those in the southern US, attract the most Mexican immigrants.  States with few cities and/or a significant distance from Mexico have fewer immigrants.

    Wow this is very unusual to me because I expected there to be more Mexican born people in Texas because it is on the border but instead there are more in California which is still a ways from Mexico.

      I found this very surprising. As first I believed, that women all over the country decided how many kids they want. Then as I read on, I realized that there are many factors to the amount of kids a women will have. First, many women in lesser developed countries are not very well educated. They do not have much knowledge about contraception, specifically birth control. Along with this idea, many women do not have access to birth control, either it is not available where they live, or it is too expensive for the family to afford. Finally, I realized from the video that we watched previously in class that sometimes due to the lack of education a woman has, they do not have a say  in the family planning. If the husband wants more kids than there will be more kids. All in all, I found this statistic very shocking and I took away that many people don't have the ability to stop having children which is very disappointing especially since most of the time, this occurs in poor areas and the family is struggling already.

      Excellent commentary, Nicole! Great job citing examples from the text and adding your own insight.
  • By about 2020, the global fertility rate will dip below the global replacement rate for the first time.
  • One study in 2002 estimated that as many as a quarter of all pregnancies in developing countries in the 1990s were unintended.

      This was the most surprising piece of information because it shows how preventable our uncontrollable population growth could be. If developing countries all had available contraceptives, the world's population would not nearly be so high. Unfortunately, the solution is not so easy. Women in those developing (stage 2) countries would need to be educated and allowed to use contraceptives. Societies that valued more children would need to transition into wanting fewer. Even though many women want fewer children, it will require a shift in culture and society before this is actually accomplished. In many developed countries, this shift has already taken place, and the population growth rate there is decreasing. This gives hope that population growth in developing countries may not be such a problem in the future.

      Most of the Cuban-Born population is located in the southern part of Florida with small amounts to the western area of the United States and New York.
  • Danyelle Allen on 16 Oct 13
     
    As depicted by the map, most Cuban Americans are born in Florida, especially in Miami. This is due to the proximity to Cuba from Florida.The second largest state having Cuban-born residents includes New York because the numerous job opportunities in the city provide attract migrants, therefore "pulling" them in.
