More on the debate

In todays class we talked more about the debate. yesterday we talked about our show of acceptance to migrants from communist nations or people being hurt. But, when Hati people were in poverty we did not let them in because it would not help us at all. Then We listened to more of the pod cast and talked about Obama and how he affected migrants. He let victims of abuse, domestic violence, and allowed them to seek asylum in the United States. Then there was also victims of gangs and drug cartels wrath can come to the United States. Then when Trump was made president he starts reinforcing asylum to make it harder for people to get asylum. One of the many rules he made was that people could no longer come to the United States if they claimed domestic violence or victim of a gangs wrath. He also made it so when people apply for asylum the have to wait in their home country. added on to that only 30 people could apply for asylum a day.

Debate

  Today in class we did not have a debate but we talked about what happens during a debate. After that, we listened to a video about the people we let into the United States. The topic that could be a debate topic is, is Trump undermining Asylum or is he restoring it. Then the video goes on to talk about how we turned down 900 jews and sent them back to England and many of them were later killed. We then made a law to allow asylum for everybody who wants to come to the United States. Then there were requirements to coming like proving you were in a dangerous situation. their was five categories persecuted or discriminated for race, nationality, religion, social group, political view. Then we would accept people to make us look good. we would especially accept migrants from people who we disagreed with. We also accepted people who could be useful to us. for instance, Albert Einstein.

Migration... again

Today in class we talked more about migration. today in class we pretty much reviewed last class. we talked about how there are 42million migrants in The United States as of 2015 on the article. Last time we looked it said in 2010 we had 43million migrants and that is growing a million a year. This is weird because the number decreased when it should have increased. After that we talked about westward expansion. we drew a map of westward expansion and talked about after the Indians had been conquered and we bought land, we slowly migrated west. When the California gold rush came about many people were racing to go west and it also brought a ton of people who did not live in the United States to the United States. We did not talk about this but after that we had war with Mexicans then migrated to Texas and we also got Florida from Spain then migrated there as well.

Migration

Today in class we talked about migration. migration is the moving from one place to another.  We talked about key ideas such as, where are migrants distributed? Where do people migrate within a country? Why do people migrate? Why do migrants face obstacles? We also talked about mobility, mobility is most generalized to a term, that refers to all types of movement. Circulation is the repeated acts of mobility. International migration is the move from one country to another. internal migration is permanent move within the same country. 9 percent of worlds people are international migrants. as of 2010 there was 43 mil foreign residents growing fast. when the US was founded a ton of europeans came to America. Then the gold rush of California happened and brought many people. people stopped coming during WW2.

I'm Very Confusled

  Today was a confusing day for me in class. We went over a worksheet that I was not not in class when we did it. I did not know what we did before hand. When I looked at all the answers and questions. I could infer that we watched a video and did that sheet. The sheet was on life expectancy and health. It was about 5 different stages of the population and its rate of natural increase. Then we took a pop quiz. I had no idea what any of the answers were but I took a guess based on the sheet that we had just gone over. I think I at least got 2 or more wrong because I only knew what we had just gone over which was a lot of the questions, but all of the questions about any sort of stage, I did not know the answer. There were 5 stages and Japan is in the 5th one, that is all I knew. We are able to write our blog in class so that is what I am going to be finishing my class doing.

was not in class

I was not in class on Friday.

Was Not In Class

I was not in class, I was sick with a fever. I also had a pretty sore throat.

Population Density

  Today In class we talked population over a certain distance, or in a certain area. We looked at the United States and how where there is more cities there is more people no matter how small it is. There was also gaps in population in places where conditions are too harsh, this could be due to the climate being too hot, cold, or wet. two out of three of the worlds inhabitants are clustered in four regions East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Geographers measure population change in a country or the world as the whole using, crude death rate, crude birth rate, and rate of natural increase. there are three different kinds of ways to measure population density. first, Arithmetic density, computation, divide the population by the square miles. second, Physiological density, number of people supported bay a unit of arable land. computation, divide the population by land area. Third, Agricultural density, ratio of the number of farmers to amount of arable land, divide the population of farmers by the arable land.

Test

 Today in class we took at test. The test I'm my opinion was hard because we had to remember facts about many other countries. First, we had 15 minutes to do twelve questions using the CIA world fact book. we had to know how to navigate the website. For me, this was kind of hard but I think I did well on that part. Next we had to do a math problem that I may have gotten right, may be wrong. After that, we had to differentiate one aspect from three different Countries, and whichever one worked I picked. Then, we had the bonus questions. the first one was what is the the Net Migration Rate of the entire world. Jokingly, I put zero and stated no one is leaving the world, who knows that could be right. I forget the second question, but I remember that I may have gotten that one right. Then I drew a Christmas Tree picture with Cartoons to represent age, how many, and death.

Today We Practiced For The Test

 Today in class we practiced for the test. to practice foe the test we went on the CIA world fact book and practiced navigating the website. When we were practicing there were some I found juicily and others I lagged on. Some of the ones I lagged on were where you had to go to any of the states and then press a link to compare it to all of the other states that qualify for that topic. We were looking at what would be on the test such as how to find the Net Migration Rate, it is also known as NMR. There is also the birth rate and death rate of infants. For example in the Philippines was at about 21.5 deaths per 1,000 live births.Within the study of demography, the rate of natural increase (RNI) is classified as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate.

The Variation Of Population Pyramids

  Today in class we talked about population pyramids. We talked about how the surrounding area can effect how many people are there. The surrounding area can also effect what ages of people are there. If there is a place with not many jobs not many people will be there. If it is a military place such as Ft. Bragg then there is more than likely going to be a lot of working class people and way less old people. it is less old people because they want to get away from the military to live out the rest of their life in peace and solitary. Then there could be a place like Buffalo County where there is not many jobs and it is a Indian reservation center, which In turn means there is most likely not going to be a lot of people. Most likely the working class will have the least amount of people there. finally if there is a serene are where old people can relax then thats what will happen. It is more than likely that there will be more old people than the working class and kids.
