Today in class we focused on the phrase Thinking globally and acting locally. We spent a lot of time in class discussing what this meant and concluded that we can take action at home that if many others take part in will make a difference globally. One example we used in class was that the local action we would make is growing food in a garden which if many people did you create less of a carbon foot print than buying the foods you would grow in your garden. Another example of this is changing from a gas powered car to an electric car. This example is more useful than the garden example because making this change takes away much more of a carbon footprint which better helps the environment of the world. We also talked on class about how geographers when researching a certain place tend to look for unique features whereas when researching a large region or the whole world they tend to look at trends.
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.
