Population Pyramids 2

A population pyramid talks about birth rate and death rate. Woman have a longer life span than males. 3 different stages are Pre-Industrialization, post industrialization. The population Pyramid get wider or thinner every day or so because of people being born and dying. A country or region of the world), which forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing. Industrialization is a bunch of factories and that is like growing fast just like other fast growing country's. A population pyramid also tells how many people of each age range live in that area. Population Pyramids consists of two back to back bar graphs,with the population plotted on the x-axis and age on the y-axis. So for China for instance has the largest population so they would have the fastest growing country because of all there people. The total population in 2013 was 7.125 billion on earth.

Population Pyramids

A population pyramid, also called an age pyramid or age picture diagram, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population (typically that of a country or region of the world), which forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing. Some of the questions for the Population pyramid were What were the estimated global population increase exactly one week later? The answer was 1,663,200. Another question was If a country slows in population growth, then it will be? (Inverted). The third question was, Population pyramids don't give you info on? How many actual number of people there are. The last question is What country would have the most fastest growth population? The answer is Asia because it has so many people to expand and increase population.

CIA World Factbook

Today in class we were looking at the CIA World Fact book and exploring what it has. It provides information on the current countries government, people, economy, geography, communications and other stuff. In class one of the students talked about the United States growth rate. It was only 0.77%, which is ranked number 143 out of 240 countries. This number comes from the birth and death rate in the country for the united states. Also Net Migration rate which is number of people entering and leaving a country during a year. J.C. gave us info on Antartica and about its military rules. He said they were not allowed to have fort bases. Which is weird to me. What I found on this cite that was interesting to me was the population in Syria is going down so much because of all the problems. And the families are just leaving and going to Lebanon. So now Lebanon is increasing fast..

Going over the Unit 1 test

Today in class we got back our unit 1 tests back and all during class we went over the correct answers. Some of the questions I got wrong were, Wikipedia should be used as a primary source when writing a research paper. The answer was false but I put true. But now I now the answer. Another question I got wrong was When was a message to Garcia written. I put August 1945 but that was wrong. The correct answer was March 1899. Also I said that the percentage of American voters who actually voted in 2012 was 86%. But that was also wrong, the right answer was 53%. Also I didn't do that well on two of the four BCR'S.  But we didn't go over those cause class was over. But now I know all the questions I got wrong and I will remember them when I take the exam for it around December. I wasn't happy with the grade I got even though I studied. But there was like two BCR'S on there I just had no clue to what the answer was. Also Mr. Schick would ring the bell if you got an A on the test, but when he called my name there was no ring. (Sad face)

Birthrate

Crude birthrate- number of births per 1,000 population. Crude death-number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. Rate of Natural increase- produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. Net Migration Rate- the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. An excess of people leaving a country is net migration. An excess people leaving a country is net emigration. A migrate is leaving one country to move to another. All this birthrate is coming from different countries. But some birthrates are increasing and at some points were decreasing. United states of America has a high birthrate and like japan and Africa has a low birthrate. In Japan, the polution is bad so people get sick which causes pregnat woman to get sick and the baby. But in U.S. we don't have as bad air polution so not as much sicknesses.

Population And Migration

Over 7 billion people on the planet. And population is increasing by over 73 million per year. 201,000 per day, 8377 per hour, 140 per minute, and 2.3 per second. This is a lot of people. 90% of this population growth takes place in the developing countries of Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. Population, 1 billion, year 1804, time elapsed 10,000 and more. Life Expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. Life expectancy for Americans was like 70 years for men and 75 for female. From Chad in Africa men life expectancy was 49 years and woman 49. There life expectancy was below 50 years of age. This is because in Africa they don't have much food and the water they drink is not clean. Lots of people in Africa die from sicknesses. They don't have hospitals in America like we do. Americans are able to live longer because of fresh clean water and medicines for any sicknesses we get. This is Population and Settlement.

Absent today For an X-Ray

I wasn't here in class today because I had to leave early for an x-ray. It was on tuesday when we had a sub. Just wanted to let you know why I didn't blog.

Our first Test

Today in human geo we had our first test. At first I thought it was gonna be hard but It wasn't that hard if you had good notes in your blog. I had most answers but a view I didn't have so I had to make a logical guess for the couple I didn't know. I thought the test we got was fair, because we've had a long time to study for it and we have been going over all the stuff for it in class. Its worth 100 points so I need to get a solid grade or I'm gonna be in trouble. The first few questions I thought were so easy but when it got to the BCR's they were a bit difficult. The question was about a gathering place in the city of Athens and you are asked to go there because its important. I didn't really know what to say. But otherwise for the test I think I did alright. Of all the questions I thought the easiest one was what was the best source to use in human geo class. And that was Wikipedia. If I had to guess what I got I probably got a high b.

Making Questions for our test

Today in class we went over Globalization, A Message to Garcia, Ancient Greece, and Did You Know? Our test is on Wednesday and these four sections will be on the test. Also while we did this we would make questions for our test. So we would give the teacher good test questions and we would know them already. It's pretty awesome so everybody should do well. We've had a lot of time for this test because we have been going over these 4 subjects. Some of the questions were, Who wrote a message to Garcia? And the answer is Albert Hubard. Another question that will be on the test is What war was being fought at the time of the Message to Garcia? Spanish/American war. What are two examples of Globalization? Japan used to be a country with healthy and lots of population. But when America gave them McDonalds, it is making them not as healthy as they were before. Also there live span has been going down. Another example of Globalization is a tribes man in the middle of Kenya talking on a cell phone. For this to work he would need to be having cellular data with a cell tower. Also would need electricity. And one of the really big questions was, How did English language become the number one speaking language in the world? Five hundred years ago, between five and seven million people spoke English. Now, anywhere up to 1.8 billion people around the world speak English. This happened through spreading of culture and teaching the language to others. Also most jobs require you to be able to speak English, so job opportunities need that ability.

Globalization

Today we talked about Globalization and how its interconnected. Globalization is the connection of different parts of the world. Globalization results in the expansion of international cultural economic, and political activities. American fast food resturants have spread around the world such as China and Japan. But these unhealthy foods are influencing other countries towards lower life span and just not being as healthy. Also in America we have a good amount of factories and coal plants but like in china they have way to many. Because of this the air pollution is really bad many people will get sick and thats why there isn't as many animals or wildlife in China. Another thing for Globalization is that America had many cigaretts but when we traded with China, since there is many more people now China has more people that smoke. This is causing cancers which is lowering life span for all countries that smoke. And Globalization started this. The Silk Road-was a collection of trade routes connecting the markets of Asia with Arabia, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Africa. Lots of people didn't have ways to get silk but the Silk Road helped that for Trading. Globalization also spreads religious faiths, which is good so people have a religion to live up to. So Globalization is great but it can have some down sides to it.

English language everywhere

Five hundred years ago, between five and seven million people spoke English, almost all of them living in the British Isles. Now, anywhere up to 1.8 billion people around the world speak English. See even china will have more people that speak English than the united states. Because there is so many people in china learning English and so it will spread over time. English was taken around the world by the sailors, soldiers, pilgrims, traders and missionaries of the British Empire. English is so popular it has spread around everywhere around the globe. So all this is saying that English is the number one international language spoke in the world. Another thing we talked about in class is about online dating. Some sites are E Harmony, Farmers, even Facebook. We were saying that so many people in the world find somebody just by online dating. Also we talked about state farm, for people that talk to customers on the phone for any questions or problems. And we said that some people in India have this job, and they know English so that most can understand them.  

If I was one in a million in china then there are 1,3000 that are just like me. So later there will be more Chinese people speaking English than people in U.S. already. My initial reaction to this was like "What that just can not be true". But once i thought about it more it was true and here is the reason why. Since there is way more people that live in china than the united states and lots of Chinese people are learning our language at there country and ours. In china there are so many more learning English and so it will spread in time and sooner or latter all of china will be speaking English pretty well. In the school Im at we have international students and some are from china. So they are learning some English here which they will probably teach to others back in china. Another thing in the video is that it says We are preparing students for jobs that are not even invented yet. Our world is getting smarter with more technology every year and so we are making students do jobs that aren't even invented yet. I think this is a good idea because when we have the job that has not been invented yet then those students will do that job. If Facebook was to be a country then it would be the third largest one. Bigger than the U.S. This is interesting to me because it was so popular at the time with so many people doing it. But now the new thing is Instagram. Technology plays a big role in my life everyday. At school i use a computer evereyday and so does everyone else. Also phones and tv's and radios are really big today for all humans.

Ancient Greece better stuff

Definition terms: Arete-excellence of any kind, the term also means ''moral virtue". Agora-central spot in Greek city- states. Was a gathering place or assembly. 508BC-Was the birth place of democracy, also the city of Athens it was the classical  period of ancient greece, and was the major urban center of the notable polis. Socrates- was a classical greek Athenian philosopher credited as one of the western founders of philosophy. He was a little weird in the way that he wouldn't take care of himself such as washing his clother and keeping himself clean. Socrates died from making himself drink poison Hemlock. He was being disrespectful to the gods and he was telling the whole council. And so he would have to be killed for this. But they didn't want to have to kill Socrates but Socrates told them he wanted to do this so they let him. At this part of the time this was when Democracy started and when we had a republic. Polis-Greek city state. Also means citizenship and body of citizens. Socrates Method-form of inquiry and discussion between individuals. Based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illustrate ideas.
Other interesting facts- During this time this is when the Olympics were invented.

Ancient Greece stuff

Back in ancient Greece during year 508BC Athens was a major urban center of the notable polis. A Arete was excellence of any kind, it also meant moral virtue. Polis was a city in Greece, the word also meant citizenship and body of citizens. Socrates was a greek Athenian philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy. Socrates died by drinking poison hemlock. The Socratic Method is a form of inquiry and discussion between individules, based on asking and and answering questions to stimulate critial thinking. The polis covered over 2,500 kilometers of territory. During 508bc democracy was introduced by an aristocrat, Cleisthenes. Who was from the family of the alcmaeonids in 508BC after the civil was, they used the Spartans to secure power. Most Greek people made their living off of farming. Also if men wern't fighting military wise, then they would usually go to the theater for entertainment.

A message to Garcia

In class today we went over A Message To Garcia. It took place during the Spanish and American war. The president at this time was McKinley, and he was making critical decisions at the time. He had sent out a guy named Rowan to find Garcia to give him a message. But all the people trying to do this would fail. But McKinley trusted Rowan to get this letter to Garcia. It was hard work finding Garcia and they didn't have computer so they needed to use encyclopedias to find Garcia. Rowan dissapered trying to do this and that was another fail for getting this letter to him. The letter was suppose to tell Garcia about cooperating with the Americans over the Spanish. And so as you can tell people were so lazy that you couldn't trust them to give a letter to one guy. But in class we were wondering if Garcia even excisted and if they were just gonna find him not there and waste there time. Apparantly Garcia was in Cuba and that was far to give the letter. This stuff we went over was pretty interesting and i liked it.

Blog Problems

Well I guess you can wonder what happened in Human Geography today. BLOG PROBLEMS!!! We started off class with our teacher helping us with fixing our blog problems. Mostly everyone had little minor problems, but mine was major but funny when I told my teacher the problem. The problem was i was on a totally different site than everyone else. They were on Blogger.com, and i was on blogspot.com. OOPS! So i had to watch how to do it and set it up in class. And at the end of class i stayed with my teacher so that he would give me info on what to do tonight for setting it up wise. Also during class i didn't really get to do anything on my computer so i just had to pay attention to the directions. But at least my fingers got some rest from typing. And the teacher said during class that there's always problems with the blogs at first but once your set up, your ready for blogging.

1.Organization-For me to be a better person in life one thing I can do is be organized. I try to be organized but I don't really do it often. But this year that's changing. I have a locker ladder in my locker so I can put my books and folders in the book shelves instead of shoving everything in there.
2.Responsibilitiies- I am always a responsible person when it comes to home work for school. I always do it and I take my time on it so that its correct. Other responsibilities I can do is help around my house for taking care of my younger brothers and sisters. Also by mowing the lawn.
3.Respectful-I can start to be more respectful to adults or anyone by listening and looking at them when their talking. Also as I'm getting older I get more responsible and respectful for things such as academics, and sports but I can only to this by hard work and being respectful to people for them to gain my respect.
4.Athleticism-I am very athletic and I can only stay that way if I stretch and get exercise everyday. I play basketball at a very high level and I need to work hard to get better at it. Also you should never give up in life or anything your doing and for me I never give up or quit in my athletics. I keep playing until the game is over.
5.Characterism-I show character some times by my abilities or traits. But I need to improve on this by telling and showing people who I am. I can do this by making friends or standing out in a specific thing. Also I would never cheat but a good example of showing good character is if you cheat on a test or something you can confess and take the punishment like a man if caught. It would be better to say you cheated then not and then get in trouble.

I walked into class all happy today because I had got done my blog from the other nights. But when the teacher said these were the only people that did or turned in there blogs. When I saw that and when the others saw that everyone's hand went up. The questions were but I did it though? So then he told everyone that he fell asleep so if anyone sent one after 9:30 he probably got it. So he said he didn't check his email after that and he found all the other blogs including mine. Wow that was close, because I knew I did it and I didn't want to come the second day of school and not have done my homework. And I put a lot of my time I into that. And for the rest of class while he was getting all of the other blogs, almost everyone was taking pictures or doing photo booth. All the girls were taking pictures and laughing cause they were excited. I also forgot to get a composition book so I need to get that quick. But for that class and for the rest of my day I thought it went well even though I was really tired.

-I woke up at 6:00 in the morning, and it was so hard but what kept me stay up was that it was the first day of John Carroll.
-I was all dressed up in my uniform looking fresh and my dad drove me to my 2 other friends car pool place and one of their moms drove me and them to school.
When I got there my friends and I went in and I went to put my stuff in my locker. But when I came back some of my friends were looking at me funny and they told me I wasn't suppose to go to my locker until 7:45. And I went at 7:30. OOPS and so I just went with the flow and said oh well and make sure I know the next day.
-I started the day by going in rotations to the lower and main gym.
-The auditorium to the cafeteria and I also got my picture taken.
-Then after that everyone went to their first class, mine was Spanish 1. It was pretty fun learning the teacher who she was and other students I met in that class.
-Then the best thing so far happened, I had 3 free mods straight in a row. I got to eat an awesome lunch, and get work done from my previous class in the library.
-The couch in there was so comfortable I almost fell asleep. I also got to spend time with my friends which was fun.
-Right after those free mods I had Intro to the Bible. The teacher was friendly and I had a ok time going over the class rules for that class.
-Then guess what, I had another 2 free mods. More time for me to do stuff I need to get done.I LOVE FREE MODS!
- Then I went to English class which was fun I got to pick my own seat and we did a get to know someone activity so now I knew a new person.
-Human geography was next and I thought it was the best class all day. The teacher was being funny, he took a girls composition book and slammed it to the ground to show that its good high quality.
-And the was the end of my first day of John Carroll.
