HELP PLS SHOW WORKThe fictional country Industria is tracking its population data. In 1855, the first year vital statistics were reported for the country, the population was 1.6 million, with a crude birth rate of 43 per 1,000. At that time the population of Industria was growing quite slowly, because of the high death rate of 41 per 1,000. In 1875 the population began to grow very rapidly as the birth rate remained at the 1855 level. While the crude death rate dropped dramatically to 20 per 1,000. Population growth continued to increase in the small country into the late 1800's, even though birth rates began to decline slowly.In 1895 the crude birth rate had dropped to 37, and the crude death rate to 12 per 1;000. A complete census was also conducted and revealed that the population of Industria had grown to 2.5 million. By 1950 population growth gradually began to decline as the death rate remained at its 1895 level, while the birth rate continued to decline to 22 per 1,000. In 1977 vital statistics revealed that the death rate was 10 per 1,000, and that population growth had slowed even more to an annual rate of 0.4%. By 1990 Industria had reduced its birth rate to that of its now constant, low death rate, and the population transition was complete.(a) Calculate the annual growth rate of Industria in 1950.(b) Caleulate the birth rate in Industria in 1977.(c) Assume the population of Industria continues to maintain the population growth rate recorded for the country in 1895. Determine the year in which the expected size of the population will have quadrupled.
In the aftermath of World War I, Japanese imperialism came to be rethought radically in the context of pan-Asianism, the new discourse of civilization that began at the time to burgeon in Japan and many other parts of [Asia]. Pan-Asianism meant different things to different people, even within Japan. There were those . . . who saw the Japanese role in pan-Asianism as nondomineeringoriented toward solidarity and the revival of Asia. [For others] pan-Asianism called for a final war between the West and the East led by Japan, which had amply demonstrated its leadership abilities. Pan-Asianism also had a special meaning for Japanese nationalists and thinkers during the 1920s because of the growing perception that, despite Japan's effort to become a world-class nation-state . . . , the Japanese continued to encounter racism and discrimination.Discrimination was perceived in the international conferences in Washington (1922), the London Naval Conference (1930), and wherever Japan was allotted a lower quota of ships than the British and Americans. But most of all, it was the buildup of exclusionary policies in the United States and the final Exclusion Laws prohibiting Japanese immigration in 1924 that galled Japanese nationalists. In their view, Asian civilization did not exhibit inhuman racist attitudes and policies of this kind, and for [Japanese] militants . . . these ingrained civilizational differences would have to be fought out in a final, righteous war of the East against the West.Prasenjit Duara, Indian historian, article published in an academic journal, 2006QuestionIn your response, be sure to address all parts of the question. Use complete sentences; an outline or bulleted list alone is not acceptable.Use the passage to answer all parts of the question that follows.a) Identify ONE piece of evidence that Duara uses in the passage to support his claim regarding Western racial attitudes and Japanese militarism in the second paragraph.b) Explain ONE development in the period before 1930 that would support Duaras claim that Japan had amply demonstrated its leadership abilities as stated in the first paragraph.c) Explain ONE way in which the ideology of Japanese pan-Asianism as described in the passage differed from the ideologies of other militarized states in the 1930s.
