Today in our human geo class we started off by singing happy birthday to myself. After we started class with talking about our review for our test on Wednesday. Mr. Schick went over the 4 main topics that will be on our test. The four main topics are Message to Garcia, Ancient Greece, Did you know 3.0, and Globalization. For the Message to Garcia we talked about the meaning of a Message to Garcia, who delivered the message, who wrote the message, and what was the war that took place when Message to Garcia was delivered. For Ancient Greece we talked about knowing the vocabulary words and what they meant and what was the most important date was in Ancient Greece. For the Did you know 3.0 video we talked about what was said in the video and how and what it means. Lastly we talked about Globalization, which we talked about how fast food in Japan has effect people's health and life styles.

 In today’s human geo class we talked about globalization. globalization is the connection of different parts of the world. Globalization is also the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities. Globalization has not just been invented it has been around for many of years. China was isolated for a couple of years and was once the only one who could produce silk. That is globalization back then , and this is globalization now. 

Americans have globalized this world by making it one of our on by the buildings,malls, and food. Chinese people have always been know as the people who would live the longest but the fast food is now effecting their health. Now it is effecting a little to much on families, and how they stay together. With there now being fast food places people tend to go get their own dinner there because its fast but they don’t have the family time like they would like to have. 

Today in class we talked about how India and China’s population is much higher than ours and that there is more of them then the United States will ever have. We also talked about how back in the day if you had many different jobs people would have thought that you weren’t a good employee and that now it is okay and most people have many jobs before the age of 30. There most likely have that many jobs because people go after the money or they just didn’t like it. 

Today in class we watched a video called "Did you know?". This video showed us how big and how fast this world is moving. When i first saw this video I really didn't think about it as much as I should have. Once we started to talk and go over what everything meant it started to click. This changes us to because it tells and lets us be aware what we should except in our future. The technology in this world is very important to everyone. Where would we be with out technology, it means a lot to us in school, jobs, and for our heath and safety. The technology lets me be able to learn and keep up with my school work. I can't wait to see what happens in our future with technology.

In today's class we talked about various things.  Some of those things were finishing up our blogs, ALS, and Elbert Huber ( A Message to Garcia ) .  We talked and made sure that everyone in the class had there blogs up to date. Then we went on by talking about ALS. Many of us know ALS as being the ice bucket challenge, but we learned about the meaning and what ALS really is. ALS means Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis which is a disease of the nerve in the brain and spinal cord.  By the end of class we started a discussion about Elbert Huber. Elbert Huber was 40 when he wrote A Message to Garcia. A Message to Garcia was written in 1899.  When the Message to Garcia was published it became very big and everyone wanted a copy because they could relate to it. The bottom line of A Message to Garcia was to be a reliable person , and to not be a lazy worker.
