Blog #25- Not similar?

Today is class we are on our second PowerPoint, which is some major progress in Human Geo. We started talking about what can make or break a country. Those things include religion, ethnic backgrounds, and language. Since when you all have the same language, you feel more comfortable, and you will be more open to people. It is also better to have the same religion, because overtime religion might drive to parties apart, and even to go to war against each other. There are many differences in the world and that is not necessarily a bad thing. If we all had the same religion and all spoke the same language. We would be as boring as North Korea. They all speak the same language, and they all have the same religion ( for the most part). It is good for everyone to be different. The world is special because of how diverse it is. 

Blog #24- All the fail in the world.

Well today in Human Geo we learned some different things, and there was some fail and it wasn’t our group. We covered 3 different cultures, my groups culture was the Native Americans, The Vikings, and The Europeans. I already covered the Native Americans in my last blog, but the one thing I have to mention is of course they got to America around 12,000 to 17,000 years ago. It was mentioned around 3 to 4 times during the powerpoint. Then the next group was The Vikings, and they were interesting. The founded America and they left because they didn’t see any use with it. They came here and thought that the effort that it takes to get here wasn’t worth the reward, and while you are at it the Natives were also attacking them. The final group was The Europeans which is full of fail. I don’t think I have to explain the Europeans, but the group failed. They said that the Europeans didn’t conquer America, and they weren’t sent by anyone to come here. Over all I learned a lot and I hope there isn’t any more fail, during the rest of the unit (no I don’t).

Blog #23- Something Different

Well we are finally covering something different. We are now looking at cultures and the first three that we are looking at are Vikings, Europeans, and Native Americans. Our group had Native Americans, and I learned some different I didn’t know before. I learned for one that they first arrived in American around 20,000 in now what is Alaska. They crossed over using the Bering Strait which connected Asia and the America’s during the Ice Age. They spread from Canada all the way to South America. They were the first Culture in America, so they got all the land that they wanted. They had a very diverse culture. They really weren't that different to their European counterparts. They were building Pyramids that looked different but they were roughly the same. It’s sad that we kicked them off their land, that wasn't fair to them. They are the same as us, and we shouldn't forget that we are on there lands.

Blog #22- Another Test

Well today is class we had another test, it would be surprising if the title didn’t give it way already. Well we had around 15 minutes to study for the test; I did take the time to study though. I feel like I did well on most of the questions. I think I only got around 2 or 3 questions wrong (not counting spelling). I don’t except it will be better than my first test but who knows (Mr. Schick) Though on the other hand, I didn’t do the best with the blogs I had so in the long run I could’ve done better but I didn't and it was my fault. So over all the test wasn't as bad as I thought it was. It was easy though all I remembered was the later stuff which was the only things in the blog. They didn’t really help but that’s my fault. I hope that we can help the people in Sudan sometime this year.

Blog #21- Charity

In class we started to look at all the different charities to help Sudan. We looked at John Bulls yesterday, and part of today. Then we started to look at the charities the other class has put on there too. When we finished yesterday, we were at 2 pages, well after the other class we are on 5 pages. This gives us plenty of choices for a charity, but then it will make it harder to pick one that we will use. Then we looked at a water charity. In short that charity will dig wells so that the people of Sudan will be able to drink clean water. Then the next one that I remember was the charity from Panther. This charity will build a school for Sudan. Mr. Schick said he would try to contact him like John Bull. So over all I think that a charity that will help them get food, water, or medical care would probably be the best choice in my opinion. 

Blog # 20- The small amount of work done

We didn't really accomplish as much as we have done before. We went over some stuff, and then we started on the main part of class. Mr. Schick got an email from John Bull saying that he will come to the school and talk but we need to pay for it. So that may not happen anytime soon. Then after that we started to look up foundations and then put them on a google dox. The main problem with that is that we are childish. Some people started to delete things, than which got annoying is when people started typing stuff while you were trying to type. So then Schick started to yell at us about what was happening, it got a little better. Though someone kept messing with what I was trying to type. I was trying to type and they were pasting something from their thing in my text while I was typing. Then when I deleted it, they kept doing it. So it got annoying but it worked a little bit. If you want to have this work, try to limit what some people can do. 

Blog #19-The End

The lost boys have come very far from when they first came to America. Most of them got a better education, and they are trying their best to improve living conditions back home in Sudan. Every year or so they have a lost boys meeting so that they can see how far each of them have gotten. Panther went to school and got his high school diploma and he is trying for his bachelor's. When he is all done with school he will try to build a school in Sudan so they can be educated. Since they have many things in their country which they can exploit if they had an education. Panther also went back to the camp and married his girlfriend. Then John Bull has taken three jobs to try to help his family. He finally meet his mom after 17 years of being separated. Then he founded a non profit organization and trying to build a medical Clinic in his home town. While Daniel is still going through College and he hasn't found his family yet. They have all come a long way, and they shouldn't stop where they are, they should keep going.
