| Abstract | This series of population exercises for undergraduate use aims at bringing the student to the realization that he is a population actor and that his attitudes, values, and behavior are the raw material of population analysis. The following exercises engage the student by personal involvement and by case study approach in the use of demographic tools for analysis. A Population Autobiography includes both personal and collective activities. A Demographic Riddle exposes the student to the concept of exponential growth. The Blackout opens inquiry into factors affecting fertility. Use of Census Data familarizes the student with census data, the concept of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA), and the idea of racial differences in residential patterning. Values clarification fits population values into the student's larger values system. Community Population Growth, Risk Population, and Population Forecasts are illustrated by newspaper reports. Simple Measures of Mortality and Fertility and Standardization are conveyed through exercises related to specific situations in India, the United States and South Africa. (JH) |
