Today in human geo class we took notes on a video explaining 200 years worth of global health in 200 countries in four minutes. Hans Rosling teaches global health. The life expectancy is on the x axis on a chart. The ages usually range between 25- 75 years. The y axis is the income per person ad ranges from $400-$40,000. In 1810 every country's life expectancy was below 40 except for the UK and the Netherlands, which were the richest countries at the time. The industrial revolution is causing the industrializing nations are increasing their life expectancy, and African and Asian colonies life expectancy did not increase because their nation did not take part in industrializing. World War I, World War II, and the Spanish influenza drastically decreased the life expectancy. 1948- end of war and countries are extremely spread out on the chart; they continue to increase their life expectancy. 1990's- Asian countries rapidly increased and in the present there are hardly any countries below 50 years for life expectancy.

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.
