today in class we watched a video that was about population pyramids. I liked watching the video I think it was easier to take notes on. I learned about demographic transition. which has to do with population. we learned that in pre-industrial areas the life expectancy is going up and the child mortality is lowering. also in industrial areas the child mortality lowers and most people move from rural areas to urban areas to be closer to the factories that they work at. lastly we learned about post-industrial areas and that both there birth and death rate lower because the are more stable and there births ad deaths almost even out.  We also learned about things that can effect the population pyramid. one thing is war it effects the pyramid by there being more women then men in a age period because men usual go to war and not women and it effects the amount of elderly over time because a lot of people could have died during the war, the birth rate usual goes up after because its usually a happy time and the men are back home so the start having babies. also if a country has a one child policy there is a low amount of births and the old people begin to dominate the country also there might be sex selective abortions so there might be a decrease in the amount of babies in a certain sex.

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.

in this story it shows that people want workers that will get things done without asking questions.Workers are not desired that ask questions and don't do what there ask and then the boss has to do it.also workers that do what there asked and work hard don't have to go on strike for higher pay there already paid well because there work doesn't want to lose them because they are needed .now half hearted work is very common and men threaten and beg for another mans assistance in there work .now bosses just smile and ignore when the workers cant do what there asked and then have to find the time there selves to find it. workers aren't as reliable to get things done because they don't do it right when there asked so they get distracted and cant remember exactly what they where asked to do .also it says that the men running the building are often frown on when they fire people  .but most of the time there not doing there work and there incapable and that's the reason...

today in class we continued to learn about population and settlement. we learned about life expectancy. life expectancy means the average number of years believed by a group of people born in the same year. some examples are, the highest is in Monaco, 89.52 total- 85.63 men and 95.58 women. U.S. #42 79.68 total- 77.32 men and 81.97 women. lowest Chad 49.81 total- 48.64 men and 51.03 women. we also learned about crude birth rate, which means the number of births per 1,000 of the population. Also we learned about the crude death rate, which means the number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. we learned about rate of natural increase which is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. this gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage form-for a country or region. the net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. an excess of persons entering the country is net immigration. this is written as a...
