Development Paper Section 1: My Total Rank Point equation is (0.9*C3+0.6*E3+0.7*G3+0.7*I3+0.4*K3+0.8* M3+0.6*O3+0.8*Q3+0.3*S3+0.5*U3+0.6*W3+0.7*Y3+0.6*AA3+0.5*AC3+0.7*AE3). There are total fifteen variables in my data table. For each one of them, I have a reason for why I picked the weights for each variable. There are several examples for how did I weight each variable. The highest one is GDP Per Capita that I gave this variable 90% weight of the total weight. The definition of GDP Per Capita means an approximation of the value of goods produced per person in the country, equal to the country's GDP divided by the total number of people in the country. So this variable shows the country’s ability in economic that I gave 90% weight of it. The second one in the list is Life Expectancy. I gave 60% weight for this one. Probably you think this one should be higher, but the average age for people’s life is changing by the environment. Such as if a country is in a war, the life expectancy, of course, is going to be lower. By the way, this is not means this country is a low development country. The tired one on my data table called Population Growth Rate. Population growth rate is the increase in a country's population during a period of time, usually one year, expressed as a percentage of the population at the start of that period. It reflects the number of births and deaths during the period and the number of people migrating to and from a country. After the population study on my Geography class, I noticed the regular pattern of population growth rate and countries development level, called Demographic Transition Model. In this model, most developed countries are in stage 3 or 4 of the model; the majority of developing countries have reached stage 2 or stage 3, which means the developing level is really have connection with the population growth rate.
