Today in class we did more of the power point but we still have like 1 or 2 more slides to go.  I did not do the last blog bc I forgot my notebook so I am going to wright for both Thursday and Monday.
Forst we talked about toast fertility rate (TFR).   TFR is the average # of children born per woman for a population to remain the same, The TFR must be 2.1.  Higher than 2.1 population os rising.  If it is lower than 2.1 the population is falling.  The worlds TFR is 2.42.  The US population is 32,625,791
(July 2017). Next we talked about the IMR in the US, and where do we rank?  WE are 5.8 deaths and we are ranked 169.  Then we talked about the percentage of catholics in Mexico Canada and US.
Mexico's has 82.7% / Canada has 38.8% / US has 20.8%.   Next question was what country has the largest population in Africa?  The answer was Nigeria with 190 million.  Then we talked about the obesity rate in France, Japan, and the US.  France had 21.6% / Us had 36.2% / Japan had 4.3%.  Then we talked about the GDP per capita of China, US, and Norway.  US has $15,400 / China has $57,4000 / and Norway had $69,200.  Also the unemployment rate in the US  is 4.9%.
Today we talked the population pyramids.  The population pyramids are used to analyze growth (or decline) of fertility, mortality, and migration in cites.  The 3 basic shapes were  the Christmas tree, the box, and the cup.
The Christmas tree:  Developing nation, growth rates are short.
The box:  Developed nation, slow growth and low infant mortality.
The cup:  Developed nation: negative growth and low infant rate.

Yesterday in class we didn't do much. We went over one of are old test that we had.  I got a 78% o it so I think I did ok on it.  After that we took the test that we would of took if we would of voted to have a test Friday.  It was that hard but I didn't want to risk having a test and the failing it and my C go down.  After we finished it you gave us the answers so we can review for the exam.  I really want to get my grade up for western civ because it is at a 79.12% and I really want a B so I can get all B's on my report card.

Humanism - an intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements. Secular - means wordy Patrons - A person who spent huge amounts of money for art. Perspective - shows three dimensions on a flat surface. Vernacular - Native language, instead of latin Renaissance man - All educated people were expected to create art. charming, witty, and educated in the classics. Renaissance women - should be upper class women also should know classics and be charming but not expected to seek fame. Overseas trade, surged by the crusades led to growth of large-state in norther Italy. Church leaders became more worldly. by having portraits painted or by donating art to the city/ public squares.

Yesterday in class we went over the power point and had someone in the class take notes on the board and we would all copy it.  I found it a lot more interesting then the other power points we have been doing because it talked about how they started to care about art, mathematics, and literature again. And also starting to look back at Rome and Greece and see how they did things.  It talked about a lady that was very Richard care about art and a lot of other things.  She would pay the artist to paint her or paint something she would want and there would put her in the back round.  For examples she asked Leonardo da Vinci t paint the nativity and put her in the back ground. If it wasn't for her we would not ave know a lot of these artist would have even existed.
