Political Geography

    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.

I am not the most hardworking person who goes out of his way to accomplish a goal the way it should be accomplished. I always finish something with the required work and will definitely find a way to do minimum work possible. I felt like A Message to Garcia was speaking to those who don't do the most work and to inspire them to better themselves not just for them but for others.            The story also tries to convey how people who are able to carry this message are what all of society needs. In the story the author states that " If men do not act for themselves, then what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all." This explains if you do not do the work for your self how will you be able to work for other people, and if you can not do work f...
