Review of Site and Situation

Today in class we went over more about site and situation, but we also made up some questions that could be on out test. We went over that situation will help you find an unfamiliar place by using a familiar one, you could do this by using landmarks. We also went over site and an example of site is how close Harford County is to Baltimore. This is good because now we can get imported goods from the Harbor quickly because of how close we are. Another example is Singapore, this is a good example because Singapore has a lot of Jobs because they are the center of trading and goods from Southeast Asia, so that allows for a lot of people to have jobs. After we reviewed Site and Situation we made up some questions that could be on the test. Some questions asked could be, what does Topography have to do with a map? The answer to that I it shows the elevation from sea level and shows graphic features on that map. Another question that could be asked is, how are the Peters map and Mercator map accurate? We said that the Peters map was more accurate in terms of showing the actual size in continents and regions, however the Mercator's map is accurate for the ships because it shows the lines at sea.

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.
