What They Fought For Book Review
Human Survivorship Lab
Pre data collecting and graph plotting questions:
1. I believe that death rates of those before 1950 will be higher just because of the lack of technological advances that can help one survive specific sicknesses and illnesses that would previously be fatal if not treated.
2. I expect the mortality of infants to be significantly lower before the 1950’s. Times were harder in the earlier part of the last decade, and the health care that we have come to have wasn’t as prominent as the latter half.
3. I predict women would have a much higher death rate AFTER the 1950’s. Women weren’t able to work outside of the house in the past, and it was more common for men to be the hard laborers, hence, more susceptible to workplace deaths. The industrial revolution was not kind to manual laborers.
4. As mentioned above, I predict men will have a higher mortality rate before the 1950’s because of their placement in the manual labor during the earlier and harder years of the industrial revolution. Most workplaces had to perform tasks the harder way since most heavy lifting equipment or most ways to facilitate a task were not invented yet.
5. For women ages 50-80 the death rate would be much lower post 1950. With senior health care and a multitude of different caregiving amenities to keep the elderly alive, it became much easier to keep the death rate lower.
6. I expect the death rate of males ages 50-80 to be about the same from the calculations I made. I can understand it being higher post 1950 for the same reasone mentioned before in question 5, but men had to live hard working lives during these times, and even if they survived the years of back breaking work their bodies would still have a burden on them from stress.
7. Given my predictions its clear to see that predict that both Sexes will have a much higher mortality rate before 1950.
Post information gathering and chart plotting questions:
1. Juvenile mortality
