Maps of the world

Today we went over the map paper we got last week. We also discussed about how there could be a world war three because the world is starting to have conflicts again between all of the continents. For example if we try to get rid of Korea's missiles by sending one over to them we could accidentally hit China and then there would be a conflict between the two countries and the US. We also talked about how there is so much drama with the world not only between the countries but also people within the countries. After we talked about the conflicts between the countries we discussed how people took a knee instead of standing for the national anthem. We talked about how when soldiers take the pledge they pledge to protect their freedom in the country not for the flag or for the national anthem. Some people think it is disrespectful to not stand for the anthem because it is disrespectful to the soldiers and their families but other people think that it is ok to take a knee during the anthem because the soldiers aren't really protecting the flag or anthem they are protecting the freedom we have in the US. The discussion also showed he Socrates used his method to ask questions to the people of Athens.

Last Semester Test

We had our last Human Geo test today. I think I did well on matching the leaders to the states, and I feel like I did well on the second part of the test. But on the last part I didn't know some of the answers. For example, one of the questions asked which leader had a daughter who went to Harvard, and I didn't know but I now know the answer is China. One of the first questions was who is the leader of Germany and who is the leader of the United Kingdom, I got those two confused at first, but I remembered that Germany had a chancellor and her name was Angela, so I knew which leader went to which state.

Political Geography

In class today, we learned about how the world was organized, it is organized in this order, country, nation, and then State. a country is an identifiable land area. A nation is a population (group of people) with common culture. And a State is a population under a single government and it can be synonymous with "country". A better definition of nation is groups of people, larger than a single tribe or community, which may share a common language, institution, religion, and/or historical experience. For independent states there are multiple short definitions some examples are, has space or territory which has internationally recognized boundaries, have people who live there on an ongoing basis, has the power of social engineering, such as education, has sovereignty which means that no state should have power over another state, etc.
