7.G.1.2 Explain how **demographic trends** (e.g. population growth and decline, push/pull factors and urbanization) lead to **conflict, negotiation, and compromise** in modern societies and regions || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== Rapid population growth may lead to internal conflict over scare resources. Nations with populations that exceed its capacity to care for its people may develop strategies to overcome this issue (i.e. China’s one child rule) Populations settle in areas where there are sufficient resources in which to meet their needs. Changing demographic trends i.e. ethnic make-up, may cause internal conflict among a nation’s population or may cause different groups to compromise in order to achieve common goals.

 * ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Information Technology Standard**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Revised Bloom's Level of thinking**=== ||
 * The student will understand:

More and more people of Islamic faith are migrating to Europe in search of greater economic opportunity and political freedom. What these immigrants are finding upon their arrival is discrimination, lack of cultural understanding and legal decisions aimed at making them integrate into European society.

The student will know: The factors that explain population growth and decline in areas i.e. the lack of arable/fertile land, the relocation of industry, war (refugee population) and political strife, access to health care, and environmental conditions (weather, climate, landforms) Key terms including but not limited to: o Push/pull factors o Population distribution o Urbanization For example //: //

Western Europe’s population explosion during the Industrial Revolution in the mid 1600s was due, in part to improvements in health care, migration of families to areas where factories/jobs were located, and the ability of families to sustain more children.

Another example:

The development of the modern nation of Israel is an example of conflict, compromise, and negotiation. In the sixty plus years of Israel’s existence, there has been war between Israel her neighbors. There have been times of negotiation and compromise. ||
