Today we watched the NOVA video on population again and we
are almost done but this time it mostly talked about Kenya. Its awful haw bad
people down their have it. For the first time ever Kenya and its death rates
are actually increasing. The rise in death rates is caused by HIV (Human
Immunodeficiency Virus) which is a disease that causes you to lose the ability
to fight off illnesses by messing with your immune system so a person that has
HIV could actually just get a cold and die. This is really bad in Kenya because
the people in Kenya don’t have that much money so the women often resort to
prostitution and then when they get HIV they cause every other person they sell
themselves to to get that disease. This has caused the age group near the age of
25 to violently decrease while the age group of 60 is actually higher in
population there.
