The population in the world

1-Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future in terms of in terms of population? Explain
I am the pessimistic because I see a lot of disasters if the population is big. China is a good example they have one child policy but is seems to be very bad bacause it violates the human rights and also the abortion rate is very high because each cuople has only one chlid s they want to have a son
2 What do you think should be down in the industrial world in terms of population? What should be done in the emerging nations?
Increasing the popultion by natural birth and decresing the abortion are 2 solutions to developed countries.

Happiness

1.I think the data collection is not a good idea, measuring how happy we are is just a feasibe concept because we could not define what happiness is. For example: you like a people and one people just coming, you also like him but you can not compare who you like more.
2.-Do you think your results on the on-line survey would be different if you did it at another time or day? Why or why not?
Yes, I did not spend too much time thinking about what should be the most appropriate answer.
3. which of the two tools is better to do with a large group of people (eg. university students, people living in cities versus rural locations, etc.) to discover patterns of happiness in a given population? Why do you think one is better than the other?
The tool for measuring happiness could apply to the majority of people could be the best. in my opinion, I would like to choose the tool of university students because it represents the new generation.

Is the difference between males and females communication patterns similar to the difference between people from different cultures? Why or why not?

My answer is yes. I think there is a difference between two worlds, men and women talking together could have a lot of misunderstandings because of the biological structure.
However, getting approach would help us find out the most efficient way to accustom and get into the conversation.

In your opinion, do species change over time in order to adapt to their environment? Did we evolve from apes?

What we have learnt from this topic is really fantastic, i always wondered why humans exist and how. I agree with the idea of evolution that we were evolved form apes .
