Siebel Sales. 7 Billion: Understanding the Demographic Transition : Casaubon's Book. On the 31st of October we will officially reach 7 billion people on the earth.
Over the next week or two we’ll be talking a lot about population issues, and I wanted to start by doing a light revision of an article I wrote some years ago about a concept a lot of people don’t grasp very well – the idea of demographic transition and what it means. The term “Demographic Transition” describes the movement of human populations from higher initial birth rates to a stabilzed lower one, and seems to be a general feature of most societies over the last several hundred years.
Initially, birth rates are high, but so are infant mortality and other death rates, and population numbers may rise, but they do so quite gradually, kept in check by high death rates. In Europe and North America, the Demographic Transition occurred over more than two centuries, and extremely gradually, as hygenic practices changed, medicine improved and other factors lowered death rates.

Definition of Training Piece Purpose for Instructor If you are delivering instruction to students and students say that they are studying the course material, but assessment shows that they are not understanding and/or remembering what they learned, where is the gap? Some students will complain that they read the textbook, and they still failed the test. These students think that reading the material is studying the material. They may tell you that they understood what they were reading, but they didn't know that they had to remember what they read.
