Class

Today we worked on our magazine/paper thing. Joe great partner were learning and writing about the Dinkas. Really fun class.

Reunited

John Bul Dau was reunited with his mother and sister in the airport and his mother collapsed to her knees crying and screaming. He made a non-profit organization for a medical clinic in his hometown of Duk, Sudan. Panther went back to Africa to see his family and marry his girl. Panther also is trying to make build a school in Sudan. Daniel and others were not a fortunate and could not reunite with their family and are still in America working, waiting and hoping.

Irony

There are problems with the people from Sudan because they work all the time with 2 or 3 jobs and miss their families and they remember the war. One man was admitted into a psychiatric hospital after being lost for 2 day but freaked out on a bus and was arrested. One got a letter from his mom that shes alive and his sister but his aunt, uncle and cousins died and they're house was burn't down. That changed his plans instead of going to college he had three jobs to send money to his family but he doesn't know if they are getting the money.

Friday in class we watch "The Lost Boys" and it was mainly about how they are ajusting to live in America and how the food on the plain tastes like soap. The Sudanians talked about becoming wealthy and going back to Sudan and helping thier families. It also showed how different the cultures between Sudan and the United States are.

"The civil war in Sudan has moved or killed more than 4 million southerners. Some fled into southern cities, such as Juba; others moved as far north as Khartoum and even into Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people were unable to grow food or earn money to feed themselves, and malnutrition and starvation became widespread. The lack of investment in the south resulted as well in what international humanitarian organizations call a “lost generation” who lack educational opportunities, access to basic health care services, and little prospects for productive employment in the small and weak economies of the south or the north."

The Lost Boys of Kenya

1) The Lost Boys ran away from Sudan because of a civil war between Christians, Muslims, and Aninists.
2) The Lost Boys couldn't stay in Ethiopia because the government collapsed.
3) Life in the refugee camp was hard, with little food they sang songs to entertain themselves.

Google Day

Today in class we went to Google and mapped out where everyone's grandparents and great grandparents were born. The shadows read Brewale's paper and it was really fun.

Break Essay

Clark Grube

Hum Geo Project

            In the next ten years I’ll be trying to start to get a job and start a family. There are many places I could do that but one place that I would love to go to is Miami. I think Miami would be a great place to live because there is a large population so many people probably start a family there and also a great place for business. It is a major center for commerce, finance, and has a strong business community. Miami has a tropical monsoon climate so it is hot and humid during the summer and warm during the winter. The Miami-Dade County Public School district is the fourth largest in the world and is used to handling many children and could do a good job teaching mine. Miami is also home to many private schools that are among the best private schools in the country. One problem would be that about 66% of Miami listed their primary language as Spanish and I speak English so I would have to overcome the language problem. Another problem would be that Miami is ranked second-to-last in people over 18 with a high school diploma.

            Another place I wouldn’t mind living in would have to be Australia. Australia has a free-market economy with a high GDP per capita and a low rate of poverty. Australia has the world’s thirteenth biggest economy. Most of Australia is semi-arid or desert but includes a wide range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests. The army in Australia is good and also receives help from the U.S. plus I don’t think Australia has any beef with any other countries like Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. They also speak a different language so that would be a problem but I would love having the great Outback in my backyard. 

Shadow

I had a shadow and we took a really easy test i voted for it to be 100 points

I went to the Greenbrier

Yesterday's Class work and homework

A population pyramid, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population, which normally forms the shape of a pyramid. It usually has bars lined up which shows the age group and number of people, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-year age groups .It may be measured by raw number or as a percentage of the total population.

Net migration rate is the difference of immigrants and emigrants of an area in a period of time, divided per 1,000 inhabitants. A positive value represents more people entering the country than leaving it, while a negative value mean more people leaving than entering it.
