Tuesday

Today in class we talked about the Guns Germs And Steel video. We talked about how racial inequality possibly started because of the nutrient advancment and because some people were stuck in an endless cycle of trying to get food and not being able to store any and having a surplus they werent able to advance as well as other nations. So thats why some racial inequality started because when some europeans came to toher lands that were smaller or not as advanced and saw that they had less technology than them they thought they were inferior to them and that the euorpean/ cacausion race was better

Monday

In class today we watched a video called Guns Germs and steel and it talked about how civillizations advanced bettet than others because of geographic locations. For instancew, the mdidle east was better advanced then new guinea because they had wheat and grain which were high in nutrients and stored a long time but in new ginuea their food didnt last a long time and spoiled and was low on nutrients.

Friday

I'm going to be honest, friday was a blurr for me. A bit sad because this was our first week back after break, I was so excited for the week to end and get to the weekend I kind of forgot what went on. I checked your blog and it was just about extra credit so I forgot, sorry!. Anyways, I hope we have a good class on Monday and learn a lot of new stuff.

Wednesday

In class we took notes on the four civillization zones. We also noted how no life originated from any cold areas, because we needed agriculture and warm weather to survive. We talked about the Aztecs and other civillizations and stuff. We talked about God kings and rulers where the rulers thought they were Gods or related to them in some way. We talked about the pyramids they built and how you could scale them. The aztecs relate to Egypt in a lot of ways and this should be an interesting lesson.

Monday (i forgot to do the blogs for the week because it's been so long i got out of rythm. sorry!)

I was not there on monday as I was sick with a stomach bug I had picked up over the winter. I asked my friend Dan what we had learned and he said we learned about Urban Geography. Human Geo was one of my favorite classes this semester and I'm glad I had it with mr Schick. I'm also really glad I have him next semester, so I'm sure that will be a fun class, and also because history is one of my most favorite subjects over science.
