India Movie

today in human geo, we continued to watch the Indian movie some more. I really like this movie, its very interesting to see how other cultures act. I think Salim is very mean to his brother Jamal. I like Jamal cause he means well and is really smart. I think he is so intelligent because he was brought up all by himself and had to make a living all alone and I think he did a great job even though he made money not that fairly. overall I really like this movie and am excited to watch the rest of the movie tomorrow

Indian Culture: movie

Today we in human geo we are watching a movie on India and how their culture is. They have no space, they don't have any money, it is very filthy. They bath in these areas of water where it is not filtered or clean. Many dig through trash to find things that are worth keeping, its like a big trash dump. Many of the kids don't have parents, and there are many attacks based on religions. The school is packed with children in a very small space with one educator. People make money by stealing, they torture people to get answers.

Mexico National Anthem

Mexican National Anthem

Mexicans, at the cry of war
Make ready the steel and the bridle
And let the earth shake to the core
At the roar of the cannon
And let the earth shake to the core
At the roar of the cannon

Gird, oh country, your head with an olive wreath
Given by the divine archangel of peace
Since your eternal destiny was written in heaven
by the finger of God
But should a foreign enemy
Profane your ground with their sole
Think, oh beloved country, that heaven
Has given you a soldier in every son

Dear homeland! Dear homeland!
Your children swear
To exhale breath in your cause
If the bugle in its belligerent (warlike) tone
Summons them to fight with courage
You will get the olive garlands!
They will have a memory of glory!
You will get a laurel of victory!
They will have a tomb of honor!

New Unit:Culural Geography

In human Geo class today we got back our multiple choice bubbled answers back, then we started talking about our next unit. this unit is called Cultural Geography. cultural characteristics are lessons or traditions you were taught by your parents or other extended family members. this can be by language, and religion... by starting this unit we took a look at this map, this map had all different colors witch were labeled from how you call (Soda) either pop, soda, or coke. we figured out that most people from the South call it coke. I think I am going to like this unit a lot because I love learning about culture.

Cancer awarness

Today in Human Geo we were able to go upstairs for half of the lass and learn about all sorts of cancer and how to prevent them. if you have a good diet and are active then that's the best way to help prevent cancer. you shouldn't eat a lot of red meat like hot dogs, hamburgers, salami.

project

Today was the last day we worked on our human geo political projects.  I was working on Mexico and I think our power point is good, we have slides on Enrique Pena Nieto, lifestyle, leadership, facts in general  and a couple other slides. I think in general our power point is good.
