EM-SOC 2- PHIL CULTURE AND GEOGRAPHY
MARCH 18,2021
A. WRITE DOWN THE MEANING OF THE FF. TERMS:
1. CLIMATE
Climate, conditions of the atmosphere at a particular location over a long period of time; it is the long-term
summation of the atmospheric elements (and their variations) that, over short time periods, constitute weather.
These elements are solar radiation, temperature, humidity, precipitation (type, frequency, and amount),
atmospheric pressure, and wind (speed and direction).
2. WEATHER
Weather, state of the atmosphere at a particular place during a short period of time. It involves such
atmospheric phenomena as temperature, humidity, precipitation (type and amount), air pressure, wind, and cloud
cover. Weather differs from climate in that the latter includes the synthesis of weather conditions that have
prevailed over a given area during a long time period—generally 30 years.
3. TEMPERATURE
Temperature, measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several arbitrary scales and
indicating the direction in which heat energy will spontaneously flow—i.e., from a hotter body (one at a higher
temperature) to a colder body (one at a lower temperature).
4. HUMIDITY
Humidity, the amount of water vapor in the air. It is the most variable characteristic of the atmosphere and
constitutes a major factor in climate and weather.
5. PRECIPITATION
Precipitation, all liquid and solid water particles that fall from clouds and reach the ground. These particles
include drizzle, rain, snow, snow pellets, ice crystals, and hail.
6. GENDER
Gender identity, an individual’s self-conception as a man or woman or as a boy or girl or as some
combination of man/boy and woman/girl or as someone fluctuating between man/boy and woman/girl or as
someone outside those categories altogether. It is distinguished from actual biological sex—i.e., male or female.
7. AGE
Age is defined as a span of years during which some event occurred. The number of years that ice covered
most of the world is an example of an ice age. ... The definition of age is the number of years something has been
alive or in existence. An example of age is being 16 years old.
8. DENSITY
Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is
density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimeter
9. GROWTH RATE
Growth rates refer to the percentage change of a specific variable within a specific time period. For
investors, growth rates typically represent the compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues,
earnings, dividends, or even macro concepts, such as gross domestic product (GDP) and retail sales.
10. BIRTH RATE

Birth rate, frequency of live births in a given population, conventionally calculated as the annual number of
live births per 1,000 inhabitants.
11. DEATH RATE

Death rate: The number of deaths in the population divided by the average population (or the population at
midyear) is the crude death rate. A death rate can also be tabulated according to age or cause.
12. LANGUAGE
Language, a system of conventional spoken, manual (signed), or written symbols by means of which human
beings, as members of a social group and participants in its culture, express themselves. The functions of language
include communication, the expression of identity, play, imaginative expression, and emotional release.
13. DIALECT
Dialect, a variety of a language that signals where a person comes from. The notion is usually interpreted
geographically (regional dialect), but it also has some application in relation to a person’s social background (class
dialect) or occupation (occupational dialect).
14.MORTALITY RATE
A mortality rate is a measure of the frequency of occurrence of death in a defined population during a
specified interval. Morbidity and mortality measures are often the same mathematically; it's just a matter of what
you choose to measure, illness or death.
15.POPULATION
Population, in human biology, the whole number of inhabitants occupying an area (such as a country or the
world) and continually being modified by increases (births and immigrations) and losses (deaths and emigrations).

C. ANSWER THE FF. QUESTIONS:
1. WHAT ARE 3 PROBLEMS CAUSED BY OVERPOPULATION? HOW CAN WE SOLVE IT?
 UNDERUTILIZED CONTRACEPTION
The global fertility rate has fallen steadily over the years, down from an average of 5 children per
woman in 1950 to 2.4 children per woman today, according to the UN Population Division. These women aren’t
using contraceptives for a variety of reasons, including social norms or religious beliefs that discourage birth
control, misconceptions about adverse side effects, and a lack of agency for women to make decisions around
sex and family planning.
SOLUTION:
PROMOTE FAMILY PLANNING
Simply educating men and women about contraception can have a big impact. When Iran
introduced a national family planning programmed in 1989, its fertility rate fell from 5.6 births per woman to 2.6
in a decade. A similar effort in Rwanda saw a threefold increase in contraception usage in just five years.
 LACK OF FEMALE EDUCATION

Although female access to education has increased over the years, the gender gap remains.
Roughly 130 million girls worldwide are out of school currently, and an estimated 15 million girls of primary
school age will never learn to read and write, compared with 10 million boys.
SOLUTION:
EMPOWER WOMEN
Studies show that women with access to reproductive health services find it easier to break
out of poverty, while those who work are more likely to use birth control. The United Nations Population Fund
aims to tackle both issues at once, running microcredit projects to turn young women into advocates for
reproductive health.
 FALLING MORTALITY RATE

The primary (and perhaps most obvious) cause of population growth is an imbalance
between births and deaths. Child mortality is a big deal, and a lot of people are fighting to reduce it in the
developing world.
SOLUTION:
 Immediate and exclusive breastfeeding
 Skilled attendants for antenatal, birth, and postnatal care
 Access to nutrition and micronutrients
 Family knowledge of danger signs in a child’s health
 Improved access to water, sanitation, and hygiene
 Immunizations

3. THE ISSUE ON POPULATION HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST DEBATABLE TOPICS IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY.IN 5
TO 10 SENTENCES, EXPLAIN HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE ISSUE.
Overpopulation is a major cause of most of the world’s problems. Whether it is a question of food shortage,
lack of drinking water or energy shortages, every country in the world is affected by it or will be. Human beings
have a tendency to want more and more welfare. World-wide the numbers of cars and refrigerators are increasing
before our very eyes. But there will come a time when population growth and welfare collide. There is a reasonably
good chance that floods of people will trek all over the world searching for more food and welfare. The only
solution is a population policy applied on a worldwide scale.
