Today in human geo. we watched more of “ the people’s republic
of captiatizum” . We watched the beginning of it in the last class but we only watched
five minutes so it was hard to follow at first. It is mainly based around China
and its economy, and how that effects America’s jobs. The Chinese train their
children how to speak English and helpful information to get them better jobs
for china later in their lives. In America our jobs are outsourced to countries
like china so that they don’t have to pay the workers as much and save money.
Chinese workers take apart old house to salvage the metal rods in the walls, to
sell, They make about 1-3 dollars a day. China has over one and a half million
workers in construction alone, trying to make cities large tourist cites.

November 26th 2012 BLOG
Today in human geo, we started by looking at the quiz we took a long time ago before break. I got a 69 on it.. because i got really confused on one part so i mixed up all the answers, putting the answers up now would be pointless because they are in the blog right here. After going over it and talking about nothing for a while after we started to watch "the peoples republic of capitalism" we didnt really get any useful information yet. all i have down are simple things like how countries come together to help each other in moment of need, such as disasters.

Today in Human geo we went over the answers we got for all the countries' year of finding independence and other facts about the countries. Now it was a bit more difficult then i thought, because i had to go to wiki and read through everything and find out the right facts. Again i dont have to right down some of the facts here because if there was an open blog test, Because i can just go to that blog. I still dont understand about the randomly generated blogs that get deleted as soon as they are made.. and it seems that every few hours the numbers go up and up and up, there are 591 deleted blogs now and i'm sure by tomorrow there will be a few hundred more.

October 8th 2012, BLOG
Today in Human geo. we went over the answers that we got for the facts blog, about the worlds leaders. I don't have to write them all down because if we get to use our blogs i would just look at that. But it was some simple facts that would be pretty easy to know.. Today we also had two shadows and i love how uncomfortable they get in this class because you put them on the spot and it's really awkward when a bunch of older high school kids are looking at you, and you have no idea what to say. My shadow was really mean and didn't do anything cool with me or introduce me to the class or anything... it was really sad...
