Thinking Geographically recap

     The past week and a half we studied a unit in class on thinking geographically.  In this small unit we went over region and place, mental mapping and site and situation. I'm using this blog to recap these topics. A region is broad area of land that has similar characteristics to other parts of itself. A place is a small area inside a region that has consistent characteristics throughout. Mental mapping is used to describe how people classify places based on past experiences. An example of this is that New York is cold in the winter because you vacationed to a state bordering New York during the winter. Finally site is a specific places characteristics. A places situation is what could be some of its characteristics relative to other familiar places. These topics link together to help geographers classify how every place is unique.

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.

A message to Garcia

     While reading A Message to Garcia I had much to think about and many emotions. During the reading I almost felt guilty because currently I would not be able to carry the message. 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...

North Korea talk

     Today in class we reviewed the region worksheet and talked about world events. The region worksheet was so easy I don't know how people got answers wrong. After going over the worksheet we talked about world events especially pertaining North Korea. You said in class that it was not unlikely that world war three could happen. Now i'm not extremely caught up in world events but, I don't think there will be WWIII any time soon because only North Korea is the country that has "reason" to start a war and doubt that if they did act against us that other countries would join them to create a world war. I also doubt that North Korea will do anything with their missiles because the leaders of the country know that they will be immediately destroyed. What I think will happen in the following months and years  is that North Korea will grow their arsenal until the United States has to take political action to stop them.
