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.

Today in class we learned about globalization. There is good things about it like increase in GDF, and increase in profit, and increase in trade. There is also bad things like child labor, sweat shops, people(slaves). There is many good things with globalization but there are also bad things that come along with it. Globalization has to with "interconnection" which is things that are connected like trade with other countries.

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.
