today in class we continued to learn about population pyramids. I learned about how you can learn things about an area by the pyramids shape and why some ages have more people than others. for example you can tell when there is a military town because there is a large population of young men. also you can tell when it is a college town because there is a large number of boys and girls in there early twenties. I also learned that in japan and countries where the old population it much larger than the new that they are going to have a lot of problems later because there population is going to decrease a lot and there not going to have enough young people to do jobs that are needed. then we went on a website and I liked it a lot. it showed you the triangles for countries. it helped because it told you the amount of people in age and helped you compare different ages. also you could look at what they predicted it would look like in later years. I liked this because you could see how areas are going to improve and what ones are going to have problems in later years. I like learning about population pyramids.
today in class we started to talk about new things. we started to learn about political geography. in other words how the world is organized. the world is organized in countries which are an identifiable land area. they are also organized by nations which are a population with a common culture. the last way is by a state which means a population under a single government and can be synonymous with "country". a better definition of nation is, a group of people with a shared identity think of it as a culture group nations are groups of people, larger than a single tribe or community, which may share a common language, institutions, religion, and/or historical experience. and independent state might have characteristics such as has space of territory which has internationally recognized boundaries, has people w there on an on going basis, has economic activity and organized economy which regulates foreign and domestic trade and issues money, has the power of social engineering,
