Region and cultural landscape

     Today in class we discussed region and how it relates to its cultural landscape. To recap a region is an area of land in which the land has one or more defining features. A regions cultural landscape is the combination of both physical and human feature of a region. This means that cultural landscapes define the region. Another important piece of information is that a region can be any area of land bigger than a point and smaller than the entire planet. This is important because it shows that the features in cultural landscape cannot apply to the whole world for example that every person in this region breaths oxygen.To practice in class we defined regions by where they are located compared to what the majority voted in the 2004, 2008 and 2012 elections. This helped us find the relation between regions and their cultural landscape.

Rome rap

 Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing

The rise of Christianity

 Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.

Rome vs. america
