the ancient Greeks: crucible of civilization pt.2

Hans Rosling: two-hundred years in four minutes teaches global health animating data in real space life expectancy was below forty and made less than forty thousand dollars in 1810 World War One Spanish flu epidemic twenty-fifty million killed around the world six-hundred seventy-five thousand killed in the United States 1948 World War Two So in the video we watched today, we saw a chart that had all the countries and their life expectancy, income, and industrial growth. I learned that they all started in the same place which was a very low place in the corner of the chart. Then as industrialization started the countries started to rise lead by America and Canada. Then there was China in the middle slowly starting to work its way up since it has such a large population. During World War Two every country dropped because men kept dieing in the war which made the population drop. We have a quiz on this that is going into quarter two, thank God, but I think I will d...

Population and settlement

-over 7.6 billion people on the planet right now -90% of this population growth takes place in the developing countries of Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America In class today we went over population growth and loss. A baby is born every eight seconds and a person dies every eleven seconds.

Quiz today

We had our quiz today in class and I honestly feel really good about it. The only two questions that I had a hard time on were the questions on what time if would be in different time zones in America. I think I might have gotten the two questions wrong but it's fine because I think I did very good on the quiz. It was a lot easier than I initially thought it would be. This is because there were only twenty-eight questions and they were all multiple choice. I really hope I can get a good grade on the quiz so I can boost my high B to an A so I can have five A's and two B's. I'm really trying my best to keep my grades up so getting a really good grade on this quiz will help get human geo out out of the picture.
