CIA World Fact-book

1. The first thing is that the United States has a population of 326,625,791 and it is the third most populated country in the whole world! This was pretty fascinating to me just because of our ranking. I knew that the United States was large and had a lot pf people, but not that many. This relates to the work we are doing in class because in class we were discussing the populations of countries and the importance of it. 

2. The second thing that I found interesting was the fact that China is the most populated country in the whole world. This was surprising just because number 1 in the whole world is A LOT of people and I did not know that had so many people. This relates to class because, once again, the population is a pain topic of conversation. 

3. Next is the migration rate of Jamaica is -4.3/1,000. I wanted to know what this was because I will be traveling there soon and I wanted to know how many people actually move there. Jamaica is not a very big place so I would not imagine this number would we too long, but not that small either. This relates to class because we were discussing the topic of migration and the difference between migration, immigration, and emigration.

4. Ireland's population is 5,011,102. I expected it to be a lot more because of the popularity of the country. although it is widely known, more people just visit and don't actually live there. This makes sense because of the size and climate of the island. This relates to what we are talking about in class because we were talking about the sizes of countries and how the climate and such affects the population. 

5. Aruba is the 189th biggest country in the world. I wanted to look this country because it is a very popular vacation spot and I did not know what the actual population was. I expected it to be small and it was. This is a very small country and it is also poor so not many people would actually want to live there with their families. This relates to what we are doing in class because we were talking about how a country being poor will affect the number of people moving there.
