Sub in class

1. Syria has 57 migrants per 1000 of the population. This fact relates to what we are doing in class because if a country has a lot of migrants that means they have a pull force. Such as better employments or health care.
2. Monaco has a life expectancy of 89.40. Monaco has the highest life expectancy in the world. This relates to what we are doing in class because at the top of their population period the bars would have a greater number.
3. The United States has 13,513 airports. This is important because if you are in the military and need to land a plane you can find out where to land. Also if you are traveling it is a lot easier to fly to someplace rather than drive a far distance.
4. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands have an unemployment rate of .10. They have the lowest unemployment rate in the world. That means more people have jobs compared to their population based on other countries.
5. South Sudan has a death rate of 19.30. South Sudan has the highest death rate in the world. They have lot's of war going on in their country which results in a high mortality rate.

Population pyramids:
1. China- The population will rise rapidly.
2. India- The population will increase rapidly.
3. The United States- The population will increase.
4. Nigeria- The population will increase rapidly.
5. Japan- The population will decrease.

The answer to Yali's question was geography. The farther you were to the coast in New Guinea, the more advanced they were. The population there is 7 million. Its concentrated in the highlands and the eastern coastal regions.

Guns, Germs and Steel

Today in class we learned about Guns, Germs and Steel written by Jared Diamond. It was published in March 1997. It won the Pulitzer award. A document was made about it for National Geographic.

His quest started in Papua New Guinea in the rainforest. This is located on an island and is one of the most remote places in the world. While he was here a Yali asked him "Why you white men have so much....and we New Guineans have so little. When the Europeans came they said power is determined by race. They saw themselves superior- White supremecy.

Guns, Germs and Steel Test

Today in human geo we took our quiz on the video Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. I studied all last night and in off so i expect to get a good grade.

Which is a large population, an organized work force, and advanced technology. After we finished the test Mr. Schick turned on this video of different pictures that had music.
