In human geo we learned about the death and birth rates of countries. Also we learned about the top ten countries for  life expectancy. We also learned that some of the poorest countries have the most people. In Chad you are only expected to live until you 48. In countries like Japan you are expected to live until you are 94. There are so many people on this earth that by the time my generation is 35 years old 3 billion more people will be living on this earth.

Today in class we learned about how many people are truly on this earth. Right now there approximately 3 billion people on this earth right now. Also there is more people being born then are  dying some the population is increasing alloy. Every 12 years 1 billion people will be added to this earth if we continue at this rate. Also in the most poor places there is a bigger human population then in a wealthier country like United states. Also in America the average female would have 2 kids and in Nigeria the average female would have 5 kids hoping at least one of them would make it to adulthood.

In class today we did a test and I think I did pretty good. It was pretty easy except for the essay question about infrastructure. I can remember about technology and money for a countries infrastructure but it was just hard to but the whole thing together into a essay. I think the test was easy through and I think I at least got an A or a B. I wrote and filled up the page though and so I think I will get full points for my essay questions.

They have to work in factories with no windows and no air conditioning. They have horrible living conditions. They sleep on concrete and there is rats coming up outta the toilet looking for food. There is roaches crawling on you when your sleeping. Also when they go to the bathroom it goes into the sewage and everybody can see it and smell it. Then we worked in our groups and listed some pros and cons on our slides.

Back then if you wanted silk you had to travel to that country to get that item or you would trade on the silk road. Globalization also influences religion. Christianity is #1 most practiced religion. Infrastructure, need to participate in the economy. You need a cell tower and electricity and money to buy the phones. Languages are different all of the world. People in North Korea are like brainwashed. They cant go online they like what their government says to like and what the government likes.

Today in Human Geo w learned that Globalization is a c9onnection of different parts of the world. Results in the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities. Japan people are expected to live longer then anyone else. Japan people would have all 3 meals together that changed when McDonalds became big. It began to spread and everyone started eating there. More McDonalds were being built and people were getting fat. McDonalds is very unhealthy so they are trying to break that chain so they are selling salads and apples and milk and water bottles now. Royal farms is becoming more and  more popular and now they are popping up everywhere.
