Pop Quiz

In class today we had a third pop quiz. The quiz was on the Hans Rosling video and the data on the stages of the world. When i took the quiz i knew some of the questions on the video but i knew none of the answers to the data questions. I think i didn't really know the answers to the data questions was because i didn't write them in my notebook so i dint really know the answers to them. After the quiz we looked at the chart again and this time i wrote own all of the stages, stage one is when the birth and death rate are both high an the natural increase is stable or has a slow increase. Stage three is when the death and birth rate are both falling, but the death rate is falling slower then the birth ate and the natural increase is slow increase. The highest stage is stage five, this stage has a low birth and death rate, but the natural increase is stable or is slowly decreasing. After we reviewed the stages we talked about the exams, we were told that there would be 100 multiple choice questions and one essay, and the essay would probably be about the world data and the different stages.

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.
