Latihan IBD: Deret Ukur dan Deret Hitung



Thomas Robert Maltus dalam Teori Kependudukan mengemukakan bahwa “manusia bertambah seperti deret ukur, sedangkan produksi pangan bertambah menurut deret hitung”.

Akan tetapi berkat kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi prediksi Thomas R. Malthus tersebut tidak selalu terbukti. Mengapa demikian?

perkembangan teknologi pertanian sebagai sumber utama bahan pangan sudah sangat modern. dengan adanya alat-alat modern umur tanaman bisa diperpendek sehingga mampu menghasilkan masa tanam yang lebih banyak, jumlah hasil pertanian mampu berlipat 2-3 kali dibanding dengan hasil tani tradisional. namun jumlah bahan pangan ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh kurangnya tenaga yang berminat dibidang pengembangan pertanian, generasi muda lebih cenderung bergerak dibidang industri, belum lagi semakin sempitnya lahan pertanian akibat terkikis oleh area industri dan perumahan yang tak bisa dicegah.

Latihan Reading: Immigration

Gambar
Immigration People of Hispanic origin were on the North American continent centuries before settlers arrived from Europe in the early 1600s and the thirteen colonies joined together to form the United States in the late 1700s. The first census of the new nation was conducted in 1790, and counted about four million people, most of whom were white. Of the white citizens, more than 80% traced their ancestry back to England. There were close to 700,000 slaves and about 60,000 “free Negroes”. Only a few Native American Indians who paid taxes were included in the census count, but the total Native American population was probably about one million.   By 1815, the population of the United States was 8.4 million. Over the next 100 years, the country took in about 35 million immigrants, with the greatest numbers coming in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1882, 40,000 Chinese arrived, and between 1900 and 1907, there were more than 30,000 Japanese immigrants. But by far, the ...

TUGAS 1 Bacalah teks – teks berikut ini dan jawablah pertanyaan – pertanyaannya. Questions 1- 7 Line (5) (10) (15) (20) (25)           Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and-stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was noted that troops played “base ball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikes-you’re-out, batter out on a caught ball, three outs per inning, a nine man team. The “New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban-industrial society. At its inceptio...
