friday 9/26/14

In todays class we had people have a chance to go up to Mr.schicks computer for points and explain 3 facts in one country that may interest us. I found that china educates more men then women. In Germany they are dying higher then people having babies. Johnny talked about how he found a country that is only the size of the john carroll campus. Mckenna looked up the world and found all the negatives.

thursday class

We went over the test for the people who were not in class. We had a shadow in our class his name was ryan so we talked about what we have learned. Mr. schick explained in detail what tfr meant. it means the amount of children per women.

9/24/14

I was not in human geo class today because of the freshman retreat.

The world

In todays class we examined the world status. we found out that chad is the worst country. Syria is the country that is decreasing the most. Our country is the 50th fattest country which seems right since we have all bad food in the united states.

class

Today in class we took notes about how our world is expanding every second. Its amazing how our generation has changed. Other countries like African countries are having 4-6 kids in the family unlike china and america with 1-2. 

First test

The first test that i took was not hard. I took my time read all the questions clearly and hopefully wrote down the answers correct. The open blog test helped me so i can refer back to this so i would get the answers right. The long response questions took a while but i could get through them and i remembered through our class discussions about all of them. I believe i will get a 90%

review

In todays human geo class we reviewed whats going to be on the test wednesday. We wrote in our note book questions that will be on the test. we explained the answers so we can study our notes and hopefully get all the questions right on the test. It was a big help by doing that.

Globalization

Today in class we learned that Globalization is the connection between different parts of the world. Alexander the great started this by starting to unit the world. This results in expansion of international culture. This has influenced china with KFC and Mcdonalds to move in to different parts of the world which has changed people eating habits and has decreased the death age. Sometime this may not be a good thing in this world.

thursday class

In class today we went over the video in smaller details. we talk about how Mr.Schick remembers using the first time he used a cell phone and i remember the first iPod I've every got and it didn't have a screen and it was almost an inch big but i thought it was so great! I can't even imagine what new invention will be around in the future.

video

From the video that we saw i was surprised by how the united states is letting people from china and idea take over the americans jobs because they will work for less. Even though this has not impacted my life in anyway i believe that there are many americans that could be very mad about this subject because they may be laid off of work right now from this problem. The video also explained how social media has taken over this world and i believe it has. When i get on my phone right away i go to Tumblr, Instagram, Ask.fm, and Snapchat. This social media world has changed us in many ways both good and bad.

Monday

In class we were complaining about the seat change. We used a socratic method to determine how to vote on the seat change. People went up and spoke about there opinion then once all the people who had something to say spoke we voted. The seats went back to picking there own seats which helped people understand what the greeks really did in that time. we did not take notes or discuss anything new but this helped people know how it really was in 508 BC times in Greece.

friday

In class friday we talked about what "the unexamined life is not worth living" which was said by socrates.  He was a hero for many but when we was put up for going against the gods people voted him guilty. He would be put to death but there was an easy way out but he wanted to follow the rules so he was put to death. He thought that everyone should thank him for teaching everyone a different way of life.

Today in human geo class we made sure everyone had there note books. Next, we got all the students caught up on there blogs. Mr. Schick had us all watch his ALS ice bucket challenge and nominated all of his students; he went on saying how amazing the cause is and how social media can be good. After chatting about ALS we learned about "A Message To Garcia" by Elbert Hubbard in 1899.
