Human Geography Class


                      Today in human geography class we finished our Democratic/ Republican state list. The list we had to make was based off of three maps of the states of the United States during the 2004, 2008, and 2012 presidential elections. We had to categorize states into certain regions based off of the states' climate, land, etc. and whether they tended to vote for Democrats or Republicans. Most of the Midwest was republican, whereas the New England area tended to vote democratically. I found it interesting on how most of the states seem to have a normal way they vote, wether it be republican or democrat.

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.
