human geo

Today in class we started off wth the test we took last week.  I got a 78% on it.  We went over all the questions in class and talked about some of the answers.  After that we went back to the power point. We talked about such and pull forces.  Some examples of push forces are civil war, environmental degradation, unemployment or underdeveloped, and religious or ethnic persecute.  Then we talked about pull forces.  Some example of pull forces are better economic opportunity, better heath service, religious freedom, and political freedom.  After that we talked about insurance.  You said that one of the reasons more people are moving to Canada is because of it.  Here we have to pay for our selfs.  In Canada you pay for everyone.  That means the taxes are way higher but if something happened everyone has insurance to pay for it so they don't have to pay for all of it.  So that is one of the reasons people like to got to Canada mor...

Today we started with the life expectancy.  Life expectancy means the average number of years to be livid by a group of people born in the same year.  A fact about that is that women tend to live longer then men.  Next we talked about the measuring of population.  Crude death rate:  Number of births per 1000 pf the population.  Crude death rate:  Number of deaths per 1000 of the population. After that talked about RNI (Rate of natural increase) ~Produced by- the death rate from birth rate. ~Give us the annual natural growth rate- in % from- for a country or region. Last thing we did was the net migration rate:  The difference between the # of persons exerting and leaving a country during a year.

Today in human geo I took a test it took everyone about the whole time and we did not do anything else so that is all I can write about

Today in human geo class we went around the class and everyone gave you a question they thought should g on the test.  At the end you put it on the board and we all got to take pictures of it so we could study.   But I can not write a lot because I have to study for the test.

Today in class we went over questions that would be on the test.  After that you told us that on the blog tonight we are to write 3 questions that we think should be on the test. What is the circadian cycle?  it is your biological clock/ natural cycle. What is a region?  An area on earth defined by 1 or more describe characteristics. What does globalization?  The act of globalizing , or extending to other all parts of the world.

Today in class we started off by talking to the shadows.  There was about 4 of them I think and it was very funny when they had to come up with an amazing thing they have done in the past.  Then we talked about why you were not here yesterday.  You were not there because you had to put your dog down.  You told us about the story about your dog and how you got him.  I found the story really interesting because I had the same thing happen to me.  I was in Greece (there is a lot of stray dogs there.)  but there was this one that would stay right near our house but the neighbors kept throwing rocks at him to keep him away.  We asked why they did that and they said it was because he was a mean dog and they did not want there kids to get hurt.  Turns out he was one of the nicest dog ever.  He would keep coming closer to our house then he finally laid outside on the blanket we left him.  We took care of him for the rest of the time we were...

Today in class you were not there so we had to read the blog and do what it said.  First thing we had to do was reread your blog from yesterday and take notes. The global scale, encompassing the entire worlds, geographers tend to see more broad patterns.  " Think global, act local"  the phrase means that the environment was being harmed by processes such as global warming that were global in scale, but it could be improved by actions such as consuming less gasoline, that were local scale.  globalization scale is an increasingly important concept in geography because of globalization, (which is a force or process that involves the entire world as a result in making something worldwide scope).  Globalization means that that the world is shrinking (meaning the ability of the person).  After the we had to do the second part which was coming up with two different definitions of Globalization.  1st definition is the act of globalizing, or extending to other ...
