re take

Today in Human Geo I retook my test that i didn't do well on. This time i took it i studied the right material and spent along time on it. I ended up getting an 80 on the test and it moved my grade up to a 78. I am glad that it moved my grade up because i worked hard for studying for the test. For the rest of the class we could do homework or whatever we wanted too so i made notecards for my biology midterm.

test

Today in Human geo we took our test. i think i did ok on it. I studied a lot last night. I knew most of the material on the test but i mixed some of the religions up i think. Hopefully this test will bring up my grade because i really need it.

This is what i wrote right before i got the test back. Ended up getting a 60 on the test and that is just unexceptable. I shouldn't be failing the test when I'm putting this much time into studying. I found out that the other class Mr. Schick teaches was able to get a project instead of a test. I was talking to my friend about it and she was very glad she was getting a project because she knew she would fail the test if she had to take one. She then said she could get a better grade on the project. Thats were I'm confused because one class is going to get better grades because they are able to do a project and my class has to take a test which was very difficult. Im not even passing this class and if I'm not passing by mid quarters I'm probably going to ask to switch classes because Mr. Schicks teaching style is just not working for me.

review

today in human geo we had a great review session. Sam and connor were the teachers again and we went over all the stuff we needed to know for the test tomorrow. I think hat if i study hard fro the test tonight i can get an A. I tried participating a little more then usual today since i know most of the material. I answered a question that was what divided the nations, it was cultural characterization. I also learned that Hinduism was tdisvovered by anyone. Today was very affective and I'm glad we reviewed today.

slideshow

Today in Human geo we first learned about what people in the US call soft drinks pop,soda,coke, or other. We talked about that for a while and how some people migrated down to florida and thats why people call it soda near the beach because thats where people want to reitre. We then learned more about all of our religions were learning and that jews are less that 1% of the population. We also learned that there are 3 parts two civilization: language, culture and ethnic croups.

Debate

Today in Human geo we had a very good discussion. First Kevin was anchorage of our class and asked us questions on all of our notes. Since everyone didn't want Kevin asking the questions we asked if Sam and Connor could ask the questions, Mr. Schick said that it was ok if they could ask the questions and so they did. After they went over our notes we talked about the boming and ISIS. This was a very good conversation because it was nice hearing everyones input on everything. After that we watched a very sad video about a little girl who was living a normal life in Syria and then they were getting bombed and she eventually got her dad taken away from her and exactly a year later she looks very ill and doesn't even want to blow out her birthday candles. I hope nothing like this happens to us in America.

talk/notes

Today in human geo we went over more about buddisam and judaism. I didnt bring home my copy book with all my notes in it but i do remember some. I remember that when you are Buddhist you meditate. That if you can't turn off your 'monkey mind' then you can raise your hand and someone will come around and hit you with a stick to help u focus. We also talked about that how if the holocaust never exisisted then the population of Jews would be a lot higher. We also talked about ISIS and the Paris attacks. I think we should really try and keep an eye on ISIS because this is really getting out of hand.

questions

Today in human geo we were asked to answer these questions:

The little fat guy is not a representation of Buddha. His name was P'utai and he was a Chan(Chinese Zen) Buddhist monk. He is often depicted as being fat and happy because even though he lived an ascetic lifestyle he found freedom through the teachings of Buddha.I found this answer on daily buddhism, a website.  I think i like the fat guy more because i see him more often and he looks nicer then the other skinny guy. 

My score was a 15 out of 20, i thought that the test was hard, but i realized that most of the Quaran answeres were like inspirational quotes and the bible was more stories.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. this means only follow jesus
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. this means there is no other god besides our god. we can't make anything else as good as him.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. this means you shouldn't be saying "oh my god".
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. This means you should go to church every sunday. 
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. This means you shouldn't be mean to your mom or dad and always respect them.
6. Thou shalt not kill. this means you shouldn't kill anyone
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. this means you shouldn't cheat on your spouse.
8. Thou shalt not steal. this means you shouldmt steal anything
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. This means you shouldn't lie about anything to your friend
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. This means to stay loyal to your husband or wife and treat everyone the way you want to be treated.

In human geo today we were suppose to answer these questions :
out of the world, this is the percent of people that follow them.
Christian 31.4%, Muslim 23.2%, Hindu 15%, Buddhist 7.1%, and Jewish 0.2%. 

Abraham was given a huge position in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.In Judaism, Abraham is considered to be the founding father of the covenant. In Christianity, Abraham is more of a person to look up to, not worship. In Islam, Abraham was claimed by Muhammad. 

To get a priest to pray for you, you would have to give them money this would be called an "indulgence" Martin Luther probably objected to indulgences because if you are a priest you should want to pray for people who need prayers. My research led me to believe that indulgences are not a good thing and I do not support them. 
    
 The Hajj is an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. If you are healthy and have enough money to take a trip to Mecca as a Muslim adult you have to. Hajj is annual so it happens every year and is a big deal for Muslims. The date of Hajj is determined by the Islamic calendar. 
   
  The four basic Vedic texts in use by Hindus are the Rig-Veda,Yajur-Veda, Sama-Veda, and Atharva-Veda. The Rig-Veda is divided into ten books and has 1028 hymes. Yajur-Veda is divided into two sections. The Sama-Veda consists of songs and chants to be sung durring worship. The Artharva-Veda Contains hymns, mantras and incantations. 

I am glad that we did this today because it was cool learning about the different religions

Today in Human geo we took a survey about your teaching.  I answered the survey 100% accuratley on what i thought was right. After we did the survey we learned about different countries. We learned that most fights are caused by religion and that they are very dangerous. I like what were learning in class today and i hope we learn more stuff just like it.

sick day

I wasn't in school today because i was sick. Instead of going to school i laid home all day and tried to do some homework. I am feeling better which is good and i will probably be going to school tomorrow. I am going to have to make up a lot of work but i would rather do that go to school sick and make everyone else sick. My class hanst even had Human Geo yet so this is going to be early. Sorry for the short blog i didn't do much today.

Today in human geo we took our test. I was happy because we could use our blog. The test was kind of difficult but i think i did ok. I studied a lot so i think i should get a good grade. After i took the test i did my math homework and then i got ready for the fire drill thing. I hope i really do well on this test because i need the grade.

Today in Human Geo we got a free period to do whatever we wanted. I first wrote this blog, then did my english homework. for the test tomorrow i am nervous because if i don't do well then that grade will stay for a while. I think that if i study i will do well because i really payed attention for the video and i have been studying a lot. I really hope i do well on the test so i can start off the quarter with a good grade.

Video response

Today in human geo we finished the video and talked about it. I think it was a good class because everyone put lots of info in and really understood the topic. When Mr. Schick asked us if we think that we should help those people i thought about it and i think that we shouldn't care as much as the video is trying to make us. I think that us interfering with all these other countries is making people not like America. If India really had a problem with the birth rate, the men would stop forcing their wives to have children. IN conclusion, i think we should all back off the topic and not be as invloved as the video wants us to be.

Today in human geo we started to watch the youtube video but it wouldn't load. We then went over some of our notes for the rest of class. We went through all the countries and there different cultures. We talked about India and how the men burn there women if they don't have boy babies. How Japans fertility rate is so low that one school only has one child in it. And we talked about how Japan and China don't really like each other. I think that today was a good review and I'm happy we did it.
