because understanding elements of culture such as values and norms helps put individual behaviors and experiences into context.

Answer to Question 2

The demographic transition is a three-stage model of population growth in Europe. In the first stage, there is a stable population because both birth and death rates are high The second stage occurs as mortality rates begin to gradually decline, but birth rates remain high.

In recent years, a fourth stage as been introduced by some Anti-Malthusians. In this stage, there is population shrinkage because the deaths start to outnumber the births in a country.
