Answer to Question 1

Fertility is the actual level of childbearing for an individual or a population.

The level of fertility in a society is based on biological and social factors.

The primary biological factor is the number of women of childbearing age

(usually between ages 15 and 45). Other biological factors affecting

fertility include the general health and level of nutrition of women of

childbearing age. Social factors influencing the level of fertility include the

roles available to women in a society and prevalent viewpoints regarding

what constitutes the ideal family size. Based on biological capability

alone, most women could produce twenty or more children during their

childbearing years. Fecundity is the potential number of children who

could be born if every woman reproduced at her maximum biological

capacity. Fertility rates are not as high as fecundity rates because

people's biological capabilities are limited by social factors such as

practicing voluntary abstinence and refraining from sexual intercourse

until an older age, as well as by contraception, voluntary sterilization,

abortion, and infanticide. Additional social factors affecting fertility include

significant changes in the number of available partners for sex and//or

marriage (for example, as a result of war), increases in the number of

women of childbearing age in the work force, and high rates of

unemployment.

The most basic measure of fertility is the crude birth rate the number of live births per

1,000 people in a population in a given year. In 2010, the crude birth rate in the United States

was 13.83 per 1,000, as compared with an all-time high rate of 27 per 1,000 in 1947

(following World War II).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
