What are some examples of being fair?

Fairness builds personal character and promotes honesty and respect for others. One of the best examples of fairness should come from parents who model fairness to their children.

How do you calculate population growth?

Population growth is a change in population size during a particular time period. In the simplest calculation, growth rate is equal to [P(t2) - P(t1)]/P(t1), where P(t1) is a past population value and P(t2) is the present population. This calculation yields a growth rate for any chosen time range. It is common to express growth rate as a percentage by multiplying the rate by 100. Dividing the percent population growth by the number of years between t1 and t2 gives an annual growth percentage. For example, a population that experiences 10 percent growth in 10 years has a 1 percent annual growth..
