Document Summary
In the 1950s the tfr was 3. 5: today the tfr is about 2. 0 to 2. 1, race and ethnicity influence fertility rates, example: hispanic fertility rate is slightly above average, other factors also influence fertility rates, wealth and education. Life expectancy is the average number of years a person is expected to live. Improvements in health care have allowed for rapid increases in life expectancy over the last 100 years: united states has an average life expectancy of 78 years old. Lifespan is the maximum length of time a person can possibly live. In developing countries the opposite is true because rapid population increases tend to decrease incomes for most people at least in the short run. In contrast to human exemptionalism, environmental sociology considers humans to be merely one species within a global ecosystem that is interdependent upon other species.
