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.

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 felt alot more relieved when i was told that we can use our notes. After the test we talked about the population pyramid.

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.
