Human Geography Class

                      Today in human geography class we took notes on cultural regions. Culture can be defined through beliefs, traits, and social forms. Culture can also refer to small organisms, such as those in a yogurt. The word culture comes from the Latin word "cultus" which means to care for. To care about is to adore or worship something (an example would be a cult). To take care of is to nurse or look after something (an example would be cultivate). Geographers study why the customary ideas, beliefs, and values of a people produce a distinctive culture in a particular place.

Today in human geo class we took a test on the world leaders. The test was not as hard as I thought it was going to be, but there were some questions I did not know the answer to. Overall I think I did well on the test. i am looking forward to the three day weekend so I can actually sleep in for once.

Today in human geo class we took notes on the countries in the world and their leaders. I found out that Enrique Pena Nieto had multiple affairs during his marriage, and he is now married to a soap opera actress since his old wife died. He also has a very low approval rate. Xi Jenping's father was one of the founding fathers of the communist party. His wife is an army general and a folk singer, and his daughter went to Harvard. Angela Merkel has been working in the government since 2005, and has been #1 on FORBES magazine for most powerful woman in the world for 11 of the past 13 years, and she's #3 for the most powerful person in the world. These are just a few of the many world leaders we discussed today, and we still have more to go.

Today in human geo class we continued to discuss independent States. We watched a video where it listed all the countries in the world. After that we started a project where we were given 15 countries and we had to get the leader of that country, an official picture of them, a map of the country, and what kind of government the country has. I finished the project today, and it was not too difficult.
