12.WorldPopulationGrowthandDistribution

TheUnitedNations,anacceptedauthorityonpopulationlevelsandtrends,estimatesthattheworldpopulationreached6billionin1999,andisincreasingannuallybymorethan77millionpersons.Therateofincrease,1.3percentperyear,hasfallenbelowthepeakrateof2percentperyearattainedby1970.Bythelate2040s,theUNestimates,thegrowthratewillhavefallentoabout0.64percentannually,atwhichtimemorethan50countrieswillexperiencenegativegrowth.

A.PastandPresentGrowth

Estimatesofworldpopulationbefore1900arebasedonfragmentary(零散的)data,butscholarsagreethat,formostofhumanexistence,long-runaveragepopulationgrowthapproachedapproximately0.002percentperyear,or20permillioninhabitants.AccordingtoUNestimates,thepopulationoftheworldwasabout300millionintheyearAD1,andittookmorethan1,500yearstoreachthe500millionmark.Growthwasnotsteadybutwasmarkedbyoscillations(摆动)dictatedbyclimate,foodsupply,disease,andwar.

Startinginthe17thcentury,greatadvancesinscientificknowledge,agriculture,industry,medicine,andsocialorganizationmadepossiblerapidaccelerationinpopulationgrowth.Machinesgraduallyreplacedhumanandanimallabor.Peopleslowlyacquiredtheknowledgeandmeanstocontroldisease.By1900theworldpopulationhadreached1.65billion,andby1960itstoodat3.04billion.

Beginningabout1950,anewphaseofpopulationgrowthwasusheredinwhenfamineanddiseasecouldbecontrolledeveninareasthathadnotyetattainedahighdegreeofliteracyoratechnologicallydevelopedindustrialsociety.Thishappenedasaresultofthemodestcostofimportingthevaccines(疫苗),antibiotics,insecticides,andhigh-yieldingvarietiesofseedsproducedsincethe1950s.Withimprovementsinwatersupplies,sewage-disposalfacilities,andtransportationnetworks,agriculturalyieldsincreased,anddeathsfrominfectiousandparasiticdiseasesgreatlydeclined.Lifeexpectancyatbirthinmostdevelopingcountriesincreasedfromabout35～40yearsin1950to66yearsby2000.Therapiddeclineindeathsamongpeoplewhomaintainedgenerallyhighfertilityratesledtoannualpopulationgrowththatexceeded3.1percentinmanydevelopingnationsa--ratethatdoublespopulationsizein23years.

B.RegionalDistribution

Asof2000,1.2billionpeoplelivedinthedevelopednationsoftheworld,and4.9billionpeoplelivedintheless-developedcountries.Byregion,overhalftheworld'spopulationwasinEastandSouthAsia;China,with1.3billioninhabitants,andIndia,withsome1billion,werethedominantcontributors.EuropeandthecountriesoftheformerUSSRcontained14percent,NorthandSouthAmericamadeup14percent,Africahad13percent,andthePacificIslandshadabout1percentofworldpopulation.

Differencesinregionalgrowthratesarealteringthesepercentagesovertime.Africa'sshareoftheworldpopulationisexpectedtomorethandoublebytheyear2025.ThepopulationofSouthAsiaandLatinAmericaisexpectedtoremainnearlyconstant;inotherregions,includingEastAsia,thepopulationisexpectedtodeclineappreciably.Theshareofthepresentdevelopednationsinworldpopulation--20percentin2000--isexpectedtofallto15percentby2025.Nineoutofeverytenpersonswhoarenowbeingaddedtotheworld'spopulationarelivingintheless-developedcountries.

15.TheCulturalPatterningofSpace

Liketime,spaceisperceiveddifferentlyindifferentcultures.SpatialconsciousnessinmanyWesternculturesisbasedonaperceptionofobjectsinspace,ratherthanofspaceitself.Westernersperceiveshapesanddimensions,inwhichspaceisarealmoflight,color,sight,andtouch.BenjaminL.Whorf,andhisclassicworkLanguage,ThoughtandReality,offersthefollowingexplanationasonereasonwhyWesternersperceivespaceinthismanner.WesternthoughtandlanguagemainlydevelopedfromtheRoman,Latin-speakingculture,whichwasapractical,experience-basedsystem.WesternculturehasgenerallyfollowedRomanthoughtpatternsinviewingobjective"reality"asthefoundationforsubjectiveor"inner"experience.ItwasonlywhentheintellectuallycrudeRomanculturebecameinfluencedbytheabstractthinkingofGreekculturethattheLatinlanguagedevelopedasignificantvocabularyofabstract,nonspatialterms.ButtheearlyRoman-Latinelementofspatialconsciousness,ofconcreteness,hasbeenmaintainedinWesternthoughtandlanguagepatterns,eventhoughtheGreekcapacityforabstractthinkingandexpressionwasalsoinherited.

However,somecultural-linguisticsystemsdevelopedintheoppositedirection,thatis,fromanabstractandsubjectivevocabularytoamoreconcreteone.Forexample,WhorltellsusthatintheHopilanguagethewordheart,aconcreteterm,canbeshowntobealateformationfromtheabstracttermsthinkorremember.Similarly,althoughitseemstoWesterners,andespeciallytoAmericans,thatobjective,tangible"reality"mustprecedeanysubjectiveorinnerexperience,infactmanyAsianandothernon-Europeanculturesviewinnerexperienceasthebasisforone'sperceptionsofphysicalreality.ThusalthoughAmericansaretaughttoperceiveandreacttothearrangementofobjectsinspaceandtothinkofspaceasbeing"wasted"unlessitisfilledwithobjects,theJapanesearetrainedtogivemeaningtospaceitselfandtovalue"empty"space.Forexample,inmanyoftheirartssuchaspainting,gardendesign,andfloralarrangements,thechiefqualityofcompositionisthatessenceofbeautytheJapanesecallshibumi.Apaintingthatshowseverythinginsteadofleavingsomethingunsaidiswithoutshibumi.TheJapaneseartistwilloftenrepresenttheentireskywithonebrushstrokeoradistantmountainwithonesimplecontourline—thisisshibumi.TotheWesterneye,however,thelargeareasof"empty"spaceinsuchpaintingsmakethemlookincomplete.

ItisnotonlytheEastandtheWestthataredifferentintheirpatterningofspace.Wecanalsoseecross-culturalvarietiesofspatialperceptionwhenwelookatarrangementsofurbanspaceindifferentWesterncultures.Forinstance,intheUnitedStates,citiesareusuallylaidoutalongagrid,withtheaxesgenerallynorth/southandeast/west.Streetsandbuildingsarenumberedsequentially.Thisarrangement,ofcourse,makesperfectsensetoAmericans.WhenAmericanswalkinacitylikeParis,whichislaidoutwiththemainstreetsradiatingfromcenters,theyoftengetlost.Furthermore,streetsinParisarenamed,notnumbered,andthenamesoftenchangeafterafewblocks.ItisamazingtoAmericanshowanyonegetsaround,yetParisiansseemtodowell.EdwardHall,inTheSilentLanguage,suggeststhatthelayoutofspacecharacteristicofFrenchcitiesisonlyoneaspectofthethemeofcentralizationthatcharacterizesFrenchculture.ThusParisisthecenterofFrance,Frenchgovernmentandeducationalsystemsarehighlycentralized,andinFrenchofficesthemostimportantpersonhashisorherdeskinthemiddleoftheoffice.
