Sep 30th HG Class

Sep 30th Human Geography

Today we saw the population pyramid of many different countries and discussed about the differences. First we saw the population pyramid of Nigeria, The population of young new birth was high but the population of the old age was very low. But in the population pyramid of Canada, The population of young people was low and the population of mid and old age was high. We can see the difference between advanced country and the developing country by comparing these two countries. In the case of advanced country birth and death rate are low, living condition is good, and long life expectancy. But in the developing country birth and death rate high, not good living condition such as medical care and short life expectancy. We could also found that advanced countries are developed industrially and developing countries are pre-industrial. For the population pyramid of U.S. it's getting rectangular. These are what we learned today. :)

14.09.26 Human Geography

Today's class we got into the CIA website again and we looked for the countries that have some bad conditions. For example most of the African countries' people's life expectation percentages were extremely low and most of them were also ranked in the top part in short life length section. Also the place where are bad situations such as politically, or maybe in war showed huge amount of people going out from their countries. For instance Syria is in real poor conditions in most of the parts so rate shows that 11% of the population is escaping from Syria. This also effected near counties' immigrants percentage to be increased. And the last example was North Korea, North Korea is extremely poor and their leader is one of the worst. But the percentage of people coming out from North Korea was 0.02%. Therefore, North Korea just kills people who tries to escape and most people are not allowed to come out from the country.

Human Geography Class Sep 25th

Today's class was the class after the retreat. In today's class we reviewed the exam that we had last week. I got an 94% in my exam. I feel happy about my grade cause I've putted pretty much effort preparing for that exam so I'm satisfied with my score. What we reviewed was we talked again about Socrates trial and relation to his death. We also talked about globalization as well. Most important part of globalization is sharing things, which means giving informations. Mr.Schick gave us example of Mr.Miller about exchanging student to Russia from John Carroll in past.

Freshman Retreat

Freshman Retreat

Today I went to a freshman retreat. Retreat was mainly for getting chance to meet a new people and be friends with them. Also there were 5 junior representatives that followed us and gave a lot of advise. We divided in to five groups, every group has one juniors as a leaders and did a lot of group activities. I met a lot of freshman and seems like made many friends. The good part in the retreat was our group leader was Joe the President of Junior. I felt he is really cool guy who has good leadership to lead people. With Joe our group did really awesome activities. Also thanks to Joe it was easier to be friends with the people in our group. Overall I think today I had awesome experiences and get to learn how to study in JC. Also made many friends. I would like to say thank you to Mr.Meyrel and five juniors to help us to awesome day.

The Human Geography class

Human Geography class

In today's class we talked about people's migration rate. So if the migration rate is the positive number there are more people who migrate in(immigrate) to their country but if the number is negative number it means there are more people who migrate out from their country. Also Mr.Schick showed us some cool site where CIA takes control of it. This site shows a lots of informations about all the country in the world. So we saw the U.S. as our one example U.S. immigrating population was keep decreasing.

The Human Geography Class after Exam

The Human Geography

In beginning of today's class we talked about Scotland is doing the vote to decide being separate from United Kingdom or not. By this Mr.Schick said people who are young such as 10 years old also need to vote. But I disagree with this because there is a reason why young people can't vote. Also it is true that the thing adults' are voting for will effect our lives but children only look for comfortable things. Furthermore, this means people who brought weird pledge will be elected cause they came up with pledges that children will like and children will vote for he or she. After this we talked about why does the female's total life length is usually longer than male's life length. And we got the answer that it's because male goes to military so that was the main reason. In conclusion I always Mr.Schick is an awesome teacher:) ( you should read this Mr.Schick)

The test day

Today I had a exam in Human Geography class. I was nervous about the exam because this exam was the first time taking exam in U.S, also in English. Actually whole today was the exam day cause I had 5 different exams. Well after all I didn't feel that hard. I also prepared a lot but what was on the quiz were all the things that have been taught in the class. So the point is if I listen well in class I don't think it is an hard thing to get a nice grade. The questions on the test were mostly from "message to Garcia", "Ancient Greek" and "Globalization". I did my best in preparing for the test and taking the test so I decided not to be sad though if my grade is low. But still I will be happy if my grades are high:)

My 10th Human Geography Class

My 10th Human Geography Class

In today's class we discussed about how American culture has effected to different cultures. One of the most big effect is an eating culture. Mcdonald's is made huge change to many countries' eating culture. For example Japanese usually ate healthy foods talking with family eating slowly. But after Mcdonalds start imported in Japan, Japanese people started to look for fast cheap food that does not take a lot of time. Also we talked about silk road. Silk road is when European countries imported silks from china in long time ago they had to cross the continent so these ways were called silk Road.

My 9th Human Geography Class

My 9th Human Geography class in JC

In todays class we saw the video called "Did you know?". This video was mostly containing social issues. There were several topics from video that we talked about in class today. First one was if you are one in a million in china there are 1300 people like you. This is basically showing how big the population of China is which was base of their growth. As we looked in the class, most of the things were made in China. It's because Chinese people were doing everything with really low income which made these days China. The second topic was huge change from 2004. 2004 is the year when apps were first invented. After apps were invented the new job that is one of the highest demand job nowadays the app inventor came out. The next one was the U.S. Department of labor said today's learners will have 10~14 different jobs by the age of 38. For instance, people started to change jobs frequently when they have better offers. The last topic was if Facebook was a country it would be the third largest country in the world behind China&India. Therefore a mass of people in the world do Facebook or Twitter. The problem about this is people now do not afraid of posting things online which can cause bad issues. This is summary about what we did in class today and thank you for reading my essay.

My eighth Human Geo class

This is our eighth Human Geography class, time runs so fast that almost a month passed from I came to America till now. This time, Mr. Schick reviewed some of these Ancient Greek words again. Up to this, we could learn it better and understand it deeper. And also, we talked about a topic, it is ”an unexamined life is not worth living”. That is great, I really agree with this sentence. Let me take a example of the school basketball team, if we have not a try out, anyone could join it, thus we cannot find the honors in basketball. That is not a good news for our school. Well these are almost everything we did in eighth class and thank you for reading my brief summary.

Human Geography Class

Sep.4.2014

In today's class we discussed about the words from last class bit more deeper. Agora, Arete, Polis, The year 508BC, Socrates and The death of Socrates are the topics we talked about in today's class. Let's begin with Agora. Agora is the central spot in ancient Greek city-states. This place is spiritual, political place for Ancient Greek people. They have done all the important things like elections here. Second Arete, description for Arete is the act of living life up to full potential. Therefore people find what they are good at and get a chance to develop that potential. Third word is The year 508 BC, This year is one of the most important year in history because in this year the common people rose up to have revolution against there leader. This uprising is special because this was first uprising in the whole human history. Fourth word is Socrates, He is one of the most famous philosophers in the history. To relate this to last word which is The death of Socrates, He was forced to suicide by drinking a poison. The reason he was forced to suicide was because Ancient Greek government said he was corrupting Greek people's rules and mind. Also being against the god. Well history says he could have escape while he was in prison before he died but he didn't wanted that and just drank poison. I think I've learned lots of interesting facts today. Thank you Mr.Schick 

A Message to Garcia

In today's Human Geography class we've learned about Elbert Harberd's essay A message to Garcia. This was published in March 18th of 1899. In the beginning it was written to be an article on newspaper or magazine but this article was sold over 40million copies in USA. The article is about during the Spanish American War. The President of United States of America McKinley sent Rowan to send letter to general of Cuba government against army Garcia who was disappeared at that moment. But when Rowan received that letter from Mckinley he didn't ask back where Garcia is and took responsibility of delivering letter and successfully delivered to Garcia. So what this article is showing is Rowan is good representitive of the worker who companies want to hire, not complaining and take responsibility to work they are given and finish successfully.
