Did you know that Women in sub-Saharan Africa are as likely to die in childbirth as

women in 1800s England? Why is it that numbers differ so much between first
world countries and countries that contain refugees? In addition, how could we
move them to a stable environment to reproduce their children? In Houston, we can
support one million refugees for approximately five years because of the sizeable
land available in the Sam Houston national Park, the access to clean water in the
Lake Conroe reservoir, and the cleanliness of Sam Houston national Park to increase
the population into a stable population with a higher birth rate than death rate.
Before contact of the Europeans, the Native Americans were a prosperous people
growing to around seventy-five million. You can say that the Native Americans were
in a stage three transition because the birth rate was larger than the death rate.
After the Europeans made contact with the Natives, infection spread so rapidly that
women died earlier and couldnt reproduce. The death rate increased rapidly and
since there were less women, the birth rate stalled while 80% of the native
population died. Moving to Sam Houston national park is a good idea because the
area that encompassed the south east coast of Texas was generally a fishing area
so putting the refugees near a large lake of water would help in food supply, but we
would still half to be careful to not drastically take away the fish population. I think
the Somalin refugee population we are taking in would most likely take to fishing
and water economics easily since Somalia has massive coastline. Similar economics
and religious institutions would also be adapted from Somalia.
Park rangers have kept Sam Houston national Park in excellent shape. The national
park has multiple campsites that can hold the refugees near the coastline. With
clean campgrounds, we can increase population at a steady rate, instead of a
declining population that some refugee camps experience. As said from Fertility in

Post Transition Countries, Today, the only region of the less developed world that
has not yet registered significant fertility declines is the Sub-Saharan Africa.
(Soares, R. 2007) Below the Sahara, Somalia is one of the countries with a higher
birth rate then death rate, which has led to 1.1 million refugees. In Fertility in Post
Transition Countries, it talked about the difference between countries all around the
worlds birth rate, and countries below the Sahara. If we can put the refugees in a
stable environment, we can significantly lower birth rates. The reason Somalia has
so many refugees can be traced to Somali pirates or decolonization. We can see
effects of decolonization on different countries in sub-Saharan Africa as well and
why their birth rates are so high.
Everyone needs water while you can survive a while without food, without water,
which is what makes up 75% of our body, we would perish quickly. Without
sustainable life, we would be in a pre-industrial society where birth rates are lower
the death rates due to inadequate healthcare and materials. In Sustainable

Development in Vietnam: The Interconnectedness of Climate Change, Socio-Economic

Development, Land Use, and Food Security, In todays global society, industrialization is
a key indicator of development. As the socioeconomic status of Vietnam increases,
industry continues to grow. (Erica, D. 2016) As said in the passage, the more
industrial a society is the more developed it is. To increase our society to more
advance or to simulate an industrial society, we need to increase the amount of
able-bodied men and women by providing necessities important to their survival.
We see in history when a society runs into a drought, problems arise quickly. It is
extremely important that we can get the water in Lake Conroes reservoir to the
refugees cleanly, quickly, and effectively.

If you want to increase the size of any population, it would help if the area were
clean. When doctors do surgery, they need the area to be clean. If we want our
population to increase, we need the area around Sam Houston national Park to be
clean, which we know it is. In Using S-Shaped Curves to Predict Response Rates in Journal

of Marketing Research, we see the text, By fitting S-shaped curves one could predict the
ultimate response rate (asymptote) as well as the speed of response.(Richard, H.
1981) While this is fit for a response to surveys, the quote relates along the lines of
population growth. Using an S-Shaped curve, we can estimate the new population
size with the health benefits that the park area gives us. The Curve would give us
an idea of the population size, as well as the birth and death rates, as it make sits
way through the four transition stages. While our refugees start at the pre-industrial
stage, we hope that we can transition them to the post-industrial stage like
Germany and Japan. Although the date of going through three demographic
transition stages will take many decades
Without Sam Houston national park, our refugees wouldnt have the support needed
to grow their population and increase them throughout the demographic transitions.
Overall, the refugees might not make it to the end of the demographic transition for
many reasons. But as humans we must do all we can to help one another.
