Today in human geography class we took a lot of notes. Life expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. You measure population by crude birth rate and crude death rate. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1,000 of the population, and crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. The rate of natural increase is produced by the difference of the death rate and birth rate, and it gives us the annual natural growth rate for a country or region. The net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year.

The recent protests are kneeling during the National Anthem in an effort to show resistance towards the president of the United States, Donald Trump. My family and I have decided to boycott the NFL because they let these protests happen in the first place. These football players do not know how many lives have been lost in an effort to maintain our freedom and the protection of our rights. If people do not support the president, they have two choices which are 1. move out of the country if they dislike him so much, or 2. suck it up and deal with it. My parents did not like Obama, but did they go out and protest...

                                                Human Geography                           Today in class we did a mini writing assignment on ancient Greece.    We had to provide background information on seven terms.
