Cultural Geography

Today we started a new section in Human Geography. We started the section called cultural geography. We learned a lot from the power point for example cultural characteristics are part of every groups every day life. We also learned that some of these characteristics can link or divide a culture or region. Some of theses characteristics could be like language, region, or ethnic heritage. We learned about language and how it can affect the culture. For example English is the language of business. If you want to talk to an country around the world about business, then English is one of the most used language. Its not really like that because its polite to speak the other cultures language, but its because English has just become the business language. So language is a big part of each and every culture. We also found out what most people in the U.S. call soft drinks. A lot call them pop but around where we live we just call it soda. Others call all of the sodas coke which seems confusing.  This is what we learned in Human Geography class today.

Power Point Presentations

Today in Human Geo class we all presented our power points. They were on Vikings, Columbus, and Native Americans. The people in the Vikings group did not do their power point so they used some other classes power point on Vikings. My group did Columbus. We presented at the end of the class so we did not really have time to finish our presentation. Some people did not really put much information on their slide though. The best power point in our class would probaly be the Native Americans. I think that because they were the only group who had a lot of information on each of their slides. Then the Columbus power point, which was mine, would be next since the Vikings group did not even do theres. The power points took up the whole class so we did not have much time to do anything else during clas. That is what we were able to accomplish in our Human Geo class today.

Test review than project

Today in the beginning of Human Geography class we started off with reviewing or test answers. I didn't do to great but I passed. In our class there was only 4 A's and there was 2 B's. But are class was the only class to have a person get a hundred percent on the test. That means they of course got all of the answers right and they also spell every word right. Then after we were done that we started our Columbus Day project. There were three groups to choose from. They were Native Americans, Vikings, and Columbus. I am in the Columbus group. All we have to do is answer eight questions. Since we didn't really have time to do much we only able to start it not finish it. But I finished my slide in class so I am done with that. That is basically every thing we did in class today.

Test and Unique Cultures

Friday in human geography we took a test on the movie "God Grew Tired Of Us". We were aloud to use our blog during the test. The blog didn't really help me because everything I wrote about was unfortunately  none of the questions on the test. I think I did all right  but I know for sure I didn't a 100 on it but i didn't fail either. Then once we finished we were told to look up very unique cultures. My culture had a very unique tradition. For a man to marry a women he had to get a piece of bamboo and stick it under the Ladies armpit. Then he has to shoot an arrow through it. If he misses he would he beheaded. Then if they pass that test they must go and get a head. When they bring it the blood must be dried up. After that to insure the marriage the husband and the wife must both cut off their index finger. Tat is what we did in class friday.

Charity Discussion

Today in class we went over the foundation websites that we found yesterday. We tied to come up with the best website that we could sponsor for our project. Are class was said to be so far the least enthusiastic about this project. A lot of them were a good match for what we were looking for. The helped support the kids in South Sudan with food and medical care. We also learned about some bad ones to use. For example Toms the shoe company. They say you buy a pair of shoes and another pair is sent to the kids who don't have any in Africa. The bad thing is that you have to spend over 80 dollars on a pair of shoes for them to do that. So you are really giving 80 dollars to them and only about half of that money is actually be spent on the kids in Africa. That is what Toms she company is not a good one to use. This is what we were able to accomplish today in class.

Foundation Searching

Today in class we searched up foundations that could be helpful that we could use to help support John from the movie "God Grew Tired Of Us". Are class was a little shorter than the other classes because the class election went over by a little. But we still had enough time to get a lot of work done. The foundations that I was basically looking at were the ones who helped support kids in Africa. The ways they could help is by helping medical care or delivering food to them. This is all to help out John's foundation. You told us that he responded back to your email about coming to the school to give us a speech to us. He said he would but we would have to pay him a lot of money that we don't really want to pay him. So that was basically all we had time to do in Human Geography class today.

Finally Finished God Grew Tiered Of Us

Today in Human Geography class we finally were able to finish the movie God Grew Tiered Of Us. I personally thought it was a very good movie and was very inspiring. I thought that because the Sudanies came out of a place where they had nothing at all. Instead of just quitting and just staying with their family until they soon die, they decided to take the chance at going to the U.S. They soon realized that it was a good decision and they would hopefully be able to make enough money to support their family's back in Sudan. When it was all over Panther went back home and got married and reunited with his mother and his brother. He was also able to get his bachelor's degree and opened up a school down there. John also was able to get his bachelor's degree. They showed him reuniting with his mom. He decided he wanted to open up a medical clinic to help the sick and the injured. Finally Dan is still in the Job Court business which helps other people find jobs. He had a thought that his family was still alive and wanted to believe that. But right now as of when the movie was finished he was the only one who hasn't been able to reunite with his family. I think that it would be good to raise money but I don't think there are much ways to raise money. There are only little ways that wont help to much but if there is a good big way to raise money I think it would be a good idea.
