Today was the dreaded first day back from break and the start of 2018. We started off the new year with a new unit on political geography. Today we focused on how the world is organized. The world can be organized into three main categories a Country, Nation or State. A country is an identifiable land area, a nation is a population with a common culture/identity, and a State is a population under a single government. A better definition of nation is groups of people . Larger than a single tribe or community, which may share common language , institutions, religion and or historical experience. This can describe many things but most countries fall under all of these rules. An Independent State has many different rules but some of them are: internationally recognized boundries, has an organized economy, and a government that provides public services. These requirements are met by all countries.
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.
