Today in Human Geo class we went on Bob Dylan's website. Then after that we all took pictures with the emmy that Mr.Schick "stole" from the superstar. Phil and I got a glorious picture with it on my phone. Then after that we played the Peace Corps game. I lead my village to victory and i was proud of my self. We will continue with the game next time we have class.

Today in human geo class we got out leader test back. I did not to so good. Most of my answers that i got wrong were mental mistakes and not reading the question right. I was not happy with my grade. I will be striving to pull up my grade and pass all my quizzes and my test and also my classwork.

On Friday in Human Geo class we took our quiz. It was very hard and i did not do so good on it. Luckily Mr.Schick is giving us another shot at it. I'm going to be prepared and ready to do alot better on the quiz. I will be sure to look at the power point more so I can pass. I will be ready for Monday.

Today in Human Geo we continued with our power points. The last 2 groups went and they were Judaism and Hinduism. Judasim went first. Jews practice practice their religion in a synagogue. There are 5 million Jews in the U.S., 13 million in the whole world. Isreal has 5 million. Abraham and Moses were their buggest leaders. Abrahan was the first Jew, The founder of Judasim. Moses was the main teacher of Judaism. There are about 14,500,000 people that follow Judasim. Then Hinduism was up. There are about 1 billion hindus. Most found in India and Asain countries. They have a large number of gods. Gods are also known as deity. Most Hindue houses have a small shrine. Hinduism was found in 2,000 B.C. It was founded in India. Their deity is Polythestic. We will take our quiz tomorrow and im am positive im going to do well.

Today in Human Geo class we learned about religions. 3 gropus got to go and mine was one of them. Islam was first. Islam is a monotheistic belief in a god or gods, and is a Abrahamic religion.The Qur'an book is like our bible. It is considered to be the exact words of god. Followers of Islams and called Muslims. Most Muslims live in the middle east. It is a belief that god is one, and the purpose is to love and serve him. There are five pillars of Islam, Shahada, Salah, Seyam, Zakat, and Hajj. Shahada is a testimony. Salah is a prayer. Seyam is fasting. Zakat is charity. Hajj is pilgrimage. The next religion we learned was Christianity. Demonations= Different groups of Christianity. Roman Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterrian, Lutheran, Protestant, Methodist, Mormon, Tehovah's witness, Quaker, and Orthodox. 50% of Christians are catholic population. There are roughly 2.8 billion Christians in the world. That is about one third of the worlds total population. In 2010, U.S., Brazil, and Mexico were top 3 with most christians on the world. Christians believe Jesus is the son of God. We will continue with our power points tomorrow.

Today in Human Geo class we went over the quiz. I didint do so good on it. I will try and do better next time. Then we worked on our powerpoints. We had Buddhasim.  I learned that over 150 million people have Buddhasim as there religion. We will continue with our power points tomorrow and share them.

On Human Geo class on Firday we took a quiz. I dont think i did so good on it. There were some easy parts and also some very hard parts. I will study harder next time and try to get an A.

Today in Human Geo we reviewed for our test tomorrow. We went over Cultural Geography. 3 examples of Cultural Geography are language, religion, and ethnic heritage. For language we learned that Brazil is the only south american country that does not speak spanish. They speak Portuguese. We also learned that Canada is a bilingual nation. They speak French and English. Switzerland has multiple language but very little conflict between the groups. We also learned Spatial Divisons. Spatial Divisions are how we divide the liveable soace found on earth by establishing social, economic and political control. Some examples are countries, economic alliances, european union, organization of petroleum exporting countries, north american free trade agreement exc. Some reasons for spatial divisions are differences in culture, language, or religion. I think i will pass this test tomorrow.

Today in class we took notes. We were taking notes on Cultural Geography. We learned that english is now considered the world language and is used for most business transactions around the world. We also learned that religion can be both unifying and disunifying force. There are major religions in the world today. Religioon can also be a dividing force around the world. Spatial divisions are how we divide the liveable space found on the earth by establishing social, economic and political control. Some reasons for Spatial divisions is differences in culture, language, or religion. Another reason is keeping historical boundaries, imperal conquest and control. We will continue with our notes tomorrow.

Today in Human Geo class we reviewed what was going to be on the test. We went over Crude Birth Rate and that is how many babies are born in a year per thousand. We also went over Crude Death Rate and that is how many people die in a year per thousand. Also, Net Migration Rate and that is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. We also went over what a immigration and emmigratinon is. Immigration is someone who comes into another country. An emmigrant is someone who is leaving a country. TFR is the average number of children born per woman (2.1 Average). RNI is where you subtract the death rate by the birth rate and divide by 10. The population pyramid is to analyze growth (or decline) of fertillity, morality, and migration in cities. We went over examples of  push forces and pull forces a push force is war in your country and a pull force is religious freedom. Then we went over how women live longer than men. I will study and do good on this test.

Today in Human Geo class we went over our test. I did not do so good on it. Next time im going to take better notes during a viedo and ask questions. Then after that we continued with the population pyramid. We look at a couple more graphs and discussed why so many young or old people live their. One slide was somewhere in North Carolina and a lot of young people lived their because their is a army camp so many people live on base. Also, yesterday in class we looked at Florida. I noticed alot of old people live their. Mr. Schick said that its most old people in the north because they are tired with the cold weather and they just move their because the weather is nice all the time. We will continue with the pryramid tomorrow.

Today in Human Geo class we took our test. I thought it was easy but some parts were very hard. I think i did very good on it. I would have probaly not of done good in it if we were not able to use our blog. my notes helped alot but i did not have all of the information so it was difficult. I felt alot more relieved when i was told that we can use our notes. After the test we talked about the population pyramid. The population prymaid is the different number of age groups that live in each state. In Florida a lot more old people live their and in Michigan alot of young people live there. We looked at some other states but then the bell rang. We will continue with the Population Prymaid tomorrow.

In Human Geo class on Friday we finished the movie. We found out that Panther got a car. Also, their is a lost boys foundation in 25 states. John finally meets his mother after not seeing her in 13 years. Panther married his girlfriend and reunites with his mom and dad. Panther got a degree form in economics from University Of Pittsburg. John supports his family. He got a degree form syracuse. Daniel continues to live in Pittsburg Job Corps and is taking classes at a community college. He has not yet met with his parents.

Today in Human Geo we continued to watch the movie. John gets a job in a factory, he pucks gaskets. HIs second job is grilling burgers at Mcdonalds. Daniel processes checks at a bank. Panther works at a very fancy restaurant. Then John enrolled into a community college. Then he finds out that his parents are alive but are not clothed and sick. So, he drops out of college gets three jobs and sends some money to his family so they can make it through. Daniel has to move into a dorm so he can get help finding more jobs and trying to get into a community college. Then John arranges a meeting for the lost boys in Grands Rapid, Michigan. He meets his good friend again. But, John does not like how the young lost boys act and wants to change them. We will continue to watch the movie tomorrow.

Today in Human Geo class we continued to watch the movie. They made it to America. They got to their apartment and the manager taught them how to use everything. He taught them how to flush the toilet, turn lights on and off, and how to use the trash can and to take it out when it was overflowing.They have never used electricity before. They have never watched TV before. They thought that American's had a different meaning to Christmas then they did back home.They always celebrated Christ rising and they thought that they did it for presents and to see Santa. We are going to continue the movie tomorrow.

Today in Human Geo class we watched a video. It was about these 3 guys that escaped their country because their country was in civil war. We learned that the north part was called Arab Muslims and the south part was called Christians and Animists. The guys names were Panther Bior, John Bul Dau, and Daniel Abul Pach. They all escaped their country and went to Kakuma, Kenya ( it was a united nations refugee camp). It hosted 86,000 Sudanese. They said that they reasons the escaped was because the government ordered to kill all of the men in the south. This terrified them so the escaped. They said as the crossed Kenya they only had 12,000 men left and they started with 27,000. Then some of them got chosen to go to America. Some of them did not even know what an  apartment was or have never used electricity. That's all we got to today in class.

Today in Human Geo class we looked at a power point and took notes about it.  The Power point was about Population and settlement. We learned that their are 7 billion people on the planet right now. Also, we learned that 90% of the population growth takes place in the developing countries Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. We learned that life expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. We learned that crude birth rate is the number of births per 1000 of the population and that crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 of the population. We also learned that most people migrate because its a push or pull. A push would be a civil war, environmental degradation, and religious persecution. A pull would be religious and political freedom, better health services and better economic opportunity.

Today in Human Geo class we took our test. I thought the multiple choice questions were very easy but the essay we kind of challenging but I did well on them. It was about Globalization and the Ancient Greeks. The test asked what the agora was and i answered that it was where they met for assemblies. The first essay question was the easiest that is my opinion though. I think i did really well on this test. I reviewed the stuff i did not know and I am pretty sure i have everything down now. I think i got a passing grade on this test.

Today in Human Geo class we shared our power points on Globalization. We all presented then we went reviewed what was going to be on the test tomorrow. We reviewed The ancient Greek's and who Socrates was and what his method was. We also went over his message about life. We went over what the agora was and it's where people met for assemblies. Also, we went over what a polis is and it is the name of a city state. Arete means exellence. We also went over how Socrates died. He drank a mixture containing poison hemlock and he took it like a man than died.

Today in class we reviewed about behind the swoosh again. We went over why we thought that it was wrong for Nike to do that. We talked about how people made signs and protested against Nike. We learned that they were supposed to pay them 4 bucks a day but actually forced them to make 3.75 a day. We did the math and it saves them around 51,000 dollars for paying them this much. This is a terrible way to treat your workers but they have to take it because they need the money. It's crazy that a company does not care about it's workers. Its sad that Nike actually treats people this way and never even care about them.

Today in class we watched a video about Nike. The narrator's name was Jim and he played pro soccer and was an coach at St.Johns. He did not agree on wearing Nike because even though they were paying him to wear it, he thought of how much the people made. So he and a friend went to Indonesia and went to the Nike headquarters down there. He found out that workers make a $1.25 a day. He thought that Nike said they paid everyone fairly. He lived in Indonesia for a month with people that worked for Nike. They did not even have beds and the rooms were very small. Every time it rained rain would get in there house. Then Nike would dump the inside of the shoe which is rubber and they would burn it. This is a bad thing because rubber can have a toxic waste in it and they have children and if they breath that in they will get very sick. Then he confronted the CEO of Nike and the CEO did not even want to talk about it because he was eating with a friend. I think that the CEO did not even care about the people in Indonesia and that's bad because your the CEO of a company so everyone should be treated the same.

Today in Human Geo class we worked on a project about Globalization.My group was Me, Steven, And Drew. We explained what Globalization was and the pro's and con's of it. We posted some pictures of Globalization like of a phone, and some phone poles. We all worked on specific parts i have the definition, Steven had the pro's and Drew had the con's. We got a lot of work done and looking forward to getting more done.

Today in class we went over globalization. Then we looked at a guy from Kenya who was holding a cell phone. Mr. Schick asked us what does that guy need in order to have that cell phone We listed facts like the guy needs electricity, money to pay for the phone, he needs to have service to talk on the phone, and needs someone to talk too. We learned that all that stuff I listed above is called incarnation.

Today in Human Geo class we talked about 9-11 and Globalazation. We started with 9-11. Mr.Schick told us where he was and how he felt. I bet it probably was a very sad day for America that day. Mr. Schick wanted us to ask our parents where they were when it happened and how they felt about the situation. Then, we talked about globalazation. Globalazation is the interconnection of different parts of the world. Its amazing that Mcdonald's is all over the world. It's crazy that one company can be that big.

Today in human geo class we went over Google drive. Google drive is where you can make documents for projects and other things. But, the cool thing is that when you are doing a project with your friends you just log on to g mail and your in a group chat with all the other people in your group so you don't even have to go over peoples houses which is a lot better. We just log on through our computer and you can get your work done. I liked that Mr. Schick showed us this because now its a lot easier on us and our parents so they don't have to drive us anywhere.

One fact that i thought was crazy was that soon China will be the number one English speaking country in the world. This is shocking because English is there second language and its our first. I was also shocked that they said today's learners would have 10 to 15 jobs at the age of 38. This is crazy because back then you had one job and that was it for the rest of your life. I think this  not shocking though because all people want to do is make more money.Its amazing that if Facebook was a country it would be the 3rd largest country in the world. Its crazy how much Facebook has evolved from when it started. So many join Facebook everyday so its not shocking about that fact. Its amazing how things can change over time.

Today in class we reviewed about Socrates. Steven taught the class today and did a very good job. We learned that Socrates was put to death because they thought he corrupted the youth of Athens and disrespected the gods. They mad him drink  a mixture containing poison hemlok. I thought that he did nothing wrong. All he did is make people think what if that happened which is nothing wrong with that he just wants you to think more. Socrates did nothing wrong he just wanted people to think more.

My first day of human geo was fun. Mr. Schick is a really cool guy and he is very funny, the only thing thats bad about him is he cant say my name but he gave me a nick name which i'm fine with. We got to sit where ever we wanted to and i sat in front of my friend Drew. I Really like Mr. Schick and i feel like  i'm gonna have a good year in his class. We went over our blog and how we are going to work it and that we are going to blog every night. I am Really excited to learn Human Geo this year!

On the first day of school i was a little nervous because it was the first day of high school. But right when i walked in and i saw my friends  i was fine. 1st mod I had Mr. Perry who teaches earth science and i found out that he is very loud but a very good teacher. 2nd and 3rd mod I had gym with fabs and he is a really cool guy. 4th and 5th mod I had Spanish with Ms. Magner and she was very nice and very very funny. 6th and 7th mod i had Mr. Huber who teaches intro to bible, and i really liked him and i found out he taught my  sister. 8th mod i was off and i went and ate lunch and i was really confused with the bell schedule but my friends helped me out so I knew when it was over. 9th mod I had Mrs. Kraft the math teacher and she was really nice and my sister also had her and has her now. 10th mod i had computer support with Mr. Ireton he was really chill and he really liked my sister and he is a really nice guy. I had a very fun day on my first day of high school.
