Hans Rosling

In class today, we watched a video with Hans Rosling teaching us about Global Health. He told us that the x axis measures life expectancy from 25 to 50 to 75 years. Then he told us that the y axis is wealth and that is measured from 400 to 4000 to 40000 dollars. The poor and sick groups were in the lower left of the graph. And in the upper right corner is the rich and wealthy class. In 1810 the UK and the Netherlands were the 2 richest classes in the world at that time. During the middle of the video we talked about the flu and how many people dies from it. 10,000 people died from the flu and the people who dies from it were the younger kids and the older people. Another thing that made the nations drop was World War 1 but once the world ended the nations went back to the top of the life expectancy. When the video was made 1948 was the time when the nations were wider than ever but now in 2017 on the nations will be wider than ever. We also talked about how in the world there are not as many terrible things going in in the world compared to as many things back then.

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.
