Today in human Geo we talked about situation. Situation is a location of a place relative to other paces. Situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one. For example Mr.Schick asked who has been to Florida and almost the whole class rose their hand. Then he asked who has been to Mississippi and only like 3 people rose their hand. Mr.Schick then asked one of the people what it is like in Mississippi and she said it would rain for like an hour and then be clear and then Mississippi was compared to Florida.Florida was the familiar and Mississippi was the unfamiliar place. Situation helps us understand the importance of the location.
Today in human geo we watched another video. It was Hans Rosling he teaches global health. He made of graph. The X axis was life span and the Y axis was income. He showed the world separated by color dots. Europe was brown. Asia was red. Middle East was green. Sub-Saharan was blue. Americas was yellow. The graph started in year 1810. In 1810 all people were sick and poor and the life expectancy were 40 years old except for U.K. and Netherlands. As the years went on the life expectancy got higher and people got more money.
