Think Global, Act Global

Today in class we had a sub, so we looked at the blog and wrote notes about it. In the blog I learned that geographers tend to see broad patterns at a global scale and encompassing the entire world. I learned the quote thinking globally and acting locally in more detail too. I learned that it means that he environment was being harmed by processes such as a global warming that were in global scale, but it could be improved by actions, such as consuming less gasoline, that were in local scale. I also learned that globalization means that the scale of the world is shrinking, the world is shrinking in ability of a person, object, or ides to interact with a person. I had to find two different definitions of globalization, one of the ones I found was the act of extending to all the other parts if the world. The second definition I found was worldwide integration and development. Lastly, we had to find different items and find out where they came from and the items brand name, one of the things I picked an I-phone. Apple made the phone, apple is from California, the phone was also made in California. The other item I choose was my laptop. Lenovo made this laptop, the company, the laptop was made in Hong Kong.

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.
