today we walked in class and had a pop quiz. the quiz was pretty easy and I got to wrong because I mixed the x and y axis's up on what they are showing. the x axis is the wealth and y axis is the life expectancy and I wrote it backwards. I also learned about what the stages mean on the graph. in stage 1 the birth rate is high, the death rate is high, and the natural increase is stable. in stage 2 the birth rate is high, death rate is falling rapidly, and natural increase is very rapidly increasing. in stage 3 the birth rate is falling, death rate is falling slowly, and natural increase is stable or is increasing slowly. in stage 4 the birth rate is low, the death rate is low, and natural increase is stable or slowly increasing. in the last stage, stage 5 the birth rate is very low, death rate is low, and natural increase is stable or slowly decreasing. the countries go through these stages as their industrialization increases.
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,
