Birth rates and death rates are usually interrelated. In Malaysia, birth rates and death rates are declining gradually. The total fertility rate also shows a decrease from year to year and it has a great impact on the birth rates. This means that the total population growth rate is slowing down.

On the other hand, personal views backed by evidence will be presented throughout this paper. On the issue of marriage Becker puts the foundations of his theory about marriage on the assumptions that almost all the marriages are voluntary and people involving in marriage see a higher utility in being married than remaining single (Becker 1974, 300). First opposition to the basis of this theory can be made so simply that not all marriages are voluntary. For instance, in India (being one of the world’s largest populations), 90% of the marriages are arranged. According to UNICEF, 48% percent of girls in South Asia are forced to be married before they turn 18 even though it is a violation of human rights and against laws.

The first cause of overpopulation is the decline in the world's populations death rates. The death rates are only 55.3 million per year; while the birth rates are 131.4 million per year. One could see that the number of deaths is almost half the number of births. However, if we had balanced birth and death rates together; they would cancel out each other.

Texas’ political culture will face changes along the rapidly growing Hispanic population of the state. Moralistic political culture; where the people believe in the government’s actions and participation of these, is not enforced in the mentality of Texans.

Traditionalistic Political Culture is when the people feel ensured that the government is run by the Elite, which is professional people that have experience with government and business manners, such is the case with George W. Bush, a political businessman that governed Texas and then was elected as

Population growth has not come to an end; population growth is still greater than experienced in the 70’s. Most of the human population growths occur in LDC’s increasing by about 76 million people every four years. Because of the rapid population increase, they attract political attention. Countries now that experience low population growth rate, meaning not many children are being born, that means older people outnumber older people. The Earth is known to providing room for food and about 50 percent of people are growing their crops/cereal grains that feed billions of people.
A demographic transition is divided into four stages in which it includes the changes that happen within a population .These changes are those of birth and death rates in which it changes from high levels to lower levels with having a low rate of natural increase, and usually these changes happen because of how a country’s standard of living starts to develop not only that but also how their economy starts to develop and how the country is operating in general. Each country has had witnessed a certain type of stage in which they either have faced advantages in facing those stages or have had faced disadvantages in facing any of those stages. Now as mentioned earlier the demographic transition consists of four stages in which each stage represents

Marriage is an important institution in a society and although there have been changes in the trend of marriage pattern, it is still very clear that marriage still matters. Marriage exists and its main aim is to bring two people together to form a union, where a man and a woman leave their families and join together to become one where they often start their own family. Sociologists are mostly interested in the relationship between marriage and family as they form the key structures in a society. The key interest on the correlation between marriage and family is because marriages are historically regarded as the institutions that create a family while families are on the other hand the very basic unit upon which our societies are founded on.
In the 21st century, population studies are very significant in looking at characteristics of a country, habitat, community and other environments. For example, in the human population, people are interested in a country’s population growth/decay, as the production of goods, social reforms/support or other needs of the people can be suggested. If a population is decreasing, there can be efforts made to improve medications and social support to increase the population and decrease the death rates. But do we actually know how population is modeled and how accurate these models are? This exploration aims at comparing logistic and exponential growth models, the two main models used for population growth, and to determine the extent of how realistic
