A Reexamination of Coombs' Data Quadrants
Coombs' Data Quadrants are examined critically for consistency. Two classes of problems in his formulation are identified: (1) one of Coombs' three dichotomies is notably weaker than the other two, and breaks down entirely in two of the quadrants; and (2) the 'dichotomies' are not true dichotomies, and fail to include all logical analytical possibilities. Solutions to the problems are proposed
An Example of Demographic Snooping
on population problems several techniques of induction and deduction used by demographers. Students are given a graph showing that the rate of natural increase for Japan dropped dramatically for the single year 1966. Several possible causes for the drop are suggested, and the students eventually eliminate all but a cultural factor as being the major cause. The exercise clearly demonstrates the important interrelationships between demographic, soc…
