Today in Human Geography, we talked a little bit about our quiz that we took the other day. Then we started to work as a group to look up a religion and find information about it. For my religion I got Christianity and I am working with Scott and Hanna. I did find a lot of information about their basic beliefs they have. I knew a lot of information about the religion like they believe in one only God and they believe in the Trinity which is made up of three things: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I also knew that they use to Bible and have Saints. Saints are people who have had a good and holy earthly life. I liked the religion that I had because it was easy and I knew a lot about it, but I want to learn about other religions like Buddhism or Hinduism.

Today in Mr. Schick Human Geography class, we had a test. First, we started to review for the test. We asked you questions about what was on it and you told us if it was on it or not. When I took the test some of the questions were easy, but some I had to take a wise guess. The hardest questions were the last five. These questions were on abbreviations and what they stand for. I feel like I could get some of them right, but I got confused on two of them. I also had a hard time with some of the religion questions. I was not hear on Monday so I never really got to go over these notes. I hope I did ok because I am happy with my grade which is an 86. I hope it does not drop because this class is my lowest grade that I have and I would rather move it up then down.

Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class, we went over what question were going to be possible on the test. We ended up talking about why the United States is the best country or not. In my opinion it is not the best county in the world. The only way in my opinion to prove that it is the best country is for it to be ranked number one in every category. We also talked about how the United States is ranked number one for having the most people in prison. I feel that it not fair to put people in prison for doing little things like smocking pot in public. I feel though in other defenses that it is good to be extra strict because it will make people be more scared to do bad things so they do not get in trouble. During the class, I had to take all the notes that I missed on Monday because I had a dentist appointment.

Today in Human Geography, we started to take some more notes. I learned what nationalism means. It means to believe that your county is superior to all others. This is an example of what Hitler did. I also learned what economic differences are. Some examples of economic differences are fertile land, access to fresh water, access to the cost, fishing rights, natural resources, and different economic philosophies. An example of humanitarian is the Red Cross. These are people who help others who are in need after something tragic happens. An example of Economic Alliances are NAFTA and Law of the Sea. Programs to promote international understanding are when people help people in need any time. An example of this is Peace Corps. People who join the peace core usually stay with it for a long time and travel around the world to help people in need or who are poor.

Today in Human Geography, we took a test. The test was a surprise. There was 75 questions on it. This test was to test of how much we know. I think I did ok on this test. Some of the information I knew, but other things I did not. I believe that we are going to take this test again at the end of the year to see how much information we learned during the year. I wonder how much my score will improve once I take the test again. So far this year I have been really enjoying Human Geography this year. It is an enjoyable class because I know I am learning, but it is not a serious environment like some of my other classes. I have also been enjoying learning about our generation. It is cool just to see how our generation is growing and what it will probably be like in the future.

Today in Human Geography, we went over our POPulation quiz. I did ok on it, but I think I could have done better. While we were reviewing our answers, the topic of illegal immigrants came up. It surprises me that Canada has more illegal immigrants live in United States. It was also surprised to see that there are more illegal immigrants from other countries then there are from Mexico. We also found that there are about 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. I thought there are more than that. After we went over the test, we started to discuss cultural geography. Cultural geography is the study of cultural products and their variations across and relations to study and places. One of the most important things that cultural geography shows are religious freedom. I wonder if cultural geography is going to be like the population pyramid and I wonder if it will show charts.
