Examples of Birth of a Nation in the following topics:
-
- A person is generally presumed to be a citizen of a nation if one or both of their parents are also a citizen of said nation; this is often called jus sanguinis (Latin legal term), meaning "right of blood. " A jus sanguinis policy means grants citizenship based on ancestry or ethnicity, and is related to the concept of a nation state common in Europe.
- Many people are presumed to be citizens of a nation if they were born within the physical geographic territory of the nation.
- Nationalization is the acquisition of citizenship by somebody who was not a citizen of that country at the time of birth.
- In general, basic requirements for nationalization are that the applicant hold a legal status as a full-time resident for a minimum period of time, and that the applicant promises to obey and uphold that country's laws, to which an oath or pledge of allegiance is sometimes added.
- Certain entities, however, cross national boundaries, such as trade organizations, non-governmental organizations, and multi-national corporations, and sometimes the term "citizen of the world" has been applied in to people who have fewer ties to a particular nation and more of a sense of belonging to the world in general.

- The National Woman’s Party worked for women’s rights in the
1920s, while Margaret Sanger became a prominent advocate for birth control.
- At the same time, Margaret Sanger led a movement to promote
reproductive rights and contraception for women in the form of a groundbreaking
newsletter and the country’s first legal birth control clinic.
- Sanger
opened a family planning and birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York, on
October 16, 1916, the first of its kind in the United States.
- A court
rejected her first appeal, but in 1918 the birth control movement won a victory
when the New York State Court of Appeals issued a ruling allowing doctors to
prescribe contraception.
- Members of the National Woman's Party picket in front of the White House for women's suffrage in 1917.

- Most European nations are examples of countries at the end of the demographic transition: both birth and death rates are low, so populations are static or shrinking.
- A potential consequence of overpopulation is a high unemployment rate or low wages for labor, since the workforce exceeds the demand for laborers.
- The demographic transition refers to the shift from high birth rates and death rates to low birth and death rates; this occurs as part of the economic development of a country.
- Overpopulation indicates a scenario in which the population of a living species exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche.
- About half the world population lives in nations with sub-replacement fertility.
-
- Demographic transition theory outlines five stages of change in birth and death rates to predict the growth of populations.
- Without a corresponding fall in birth rates this produces an imbalance, and the countries in this stage experience a large increase in population.
- Birth rates decrease due to various fertility factors such as access to contraception, increases in wages, urbanization, a reduction in subsistence agriculture, an increase in the status and education of women, a reduction in the value of children's work, an increase in parental investment in the education of children and other social changes.
- It is important to note that birth rate decline is caused also by a transition in values; not just because of the availability of contraceptives.
- The United Nations Population Fund (2008) categorizes nations as high-fertility, intermediate-fertility, or low-fertility.

- In the United States, 82.5 million women are mothers, while the national average age of first child births is 25.1 years.
- In 2008, 10% of births were to teenage girls, and 14% were to women ages 35 and older.
- Feminism is a broad term that is the result of several historical social movements attempting to gain equal economic, political, and social rights for women.
- In the United States, 82.5 million women are mothers of all ages, while the national average age of first child births is 25.1 years.
- In 2008, 10% of births were to teenage girls, and 14% were to women ages 35 and older.

- Exercise 8.1 introduces a data set on birth weight of babies.
- The summary table below shows the results of a linear regression model for predicting the average birth weight of babies, measured in ounces, from parity.
- We considered the variables smoke and parity, one at a time, in modeling birth weights of babies in Exercises 8.1 and 8.2.
- The summary table below shows the results of a regression model for predicting the average birth weight of babies based on all of the variables included in the data set.
- (b) β gestation : The model predicts a 0.44 ounce increase in the birth weight of the baby for each additional day of pregnancy, all else held constant. β age : The model predicts a 0.01 ounce decrease in the birth weight of the baby for each additional year in mother's age, all else held constant.

- The basics of demographic population growth depend on the rate of natural increase (births versus deaths) and net migration.
- It can be a very general science that can be applied to any kind of dynamic living population, or one that changes over time or space.
- It encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial and/or temporal changes in them in response to birth, migration, aging, and death.
- Net migration is the mathematical difference between those migrating into a country and those migrating out of a country.
- For example, the population size of ethnic groups or nationalities within a given society or country is subject to the same sources of change as the national population.

- In humans, preterm birth refers to the birth of a baby of less than 37 weeks gestational age.
- Reducing the incidence of preterm birth is a challenging proposition.
- Premature birth, commonly used as a synonym for preterm birth, refers to the birth of a baby before the developing organs are mature enough to allow normal postnatal survival .
- Prematurity can be reduced to a small extent by using drugs to accelerate maturation of the fetus, and to a greater extent by preventing preterm birth.
- A positive test indicates an increased risk of preterm birth, and a negative test has a high predictive value.

- In 1990, 73% of births to unmarried women were unintended at the time of conception, compared to about 44% of births overall.
- While somewhat more common prior to the 20th century due to the more frequent deaths of spouses, the nuclear family became the societal norm in most Western nations.
- Since the 1960s, there has been a marked increase in the number of children living with a single parent.
- In 1990, 73% of births to unmarried women were unintended at the time of conception, compared to about 44% of births overall.
- A single parent, Beagle says it's tough to attend school and raise a daughter simultaneously, but with the support of her family, she's able to make it work.
-
- The end of World War II in 1945 brought a baby boom to many countries, especially Western ones.
- There is some disagreement as to the precise beginning and ending dates of the post-war boom, but most agree that it began in the years immediately after the war ceased and ended more than a decade later—birth rates in the United States started to decline in 1957.
- Sylvia Porter, a columnist for the New York Post, first used the term "boom" to refer to the phenomenon of increased births in post-war America in May of 1951.
- Life was simple, jobs were plentiful, and a record number of babies were born.
- Between 1940 and 1960, the nation's GDP jumped more than $300 million.
