Today's class was a little disappointing. You have done it again Mr. Schick. Pop quiz here pop quiz there....it's no biggie, we will survive. But seriously! You're actually killing me. On your last pop quiz I thought I failed and actually ended up doing pretty good so here's hoping for this one. I have to say I'm not enjoying this unit as well as I thought I would. However, I do like learning the different continents. It must seem silly to people who don't live in the

For today's human geography blog I'd like to start out by saying something I wish I would have spoke up in class today. The question was what is the right and wrong thing to do when a customer comes to you for a wedding cake for two males on top? Do you make it or not? It really upset me when my classmates didn't say anything as if it was okay, but then it occurred to me that I wasn't saying anything about the matter either. I soon regretted not speaking my opinions on the matter to create more class discussion. First, I'd like to begin by making my opinions on gay, lesbians, and bi relationships. To me it doesn't matter your religion, or what your parents say on the matter, you can think whatever you want on what is right and wrong to this topic. Your parents shouldn't influence your decision or what the bible says. Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about this as well. It's fine if they don't support it, but they also don't h...

Research Kiva.org . Describe your findings, such as their goals, methods, efficiency, and reputation. Research potential borrowers. Find at least two borrowers and describe their business, their reasons for wanting a microloan, their past history, etc. Look at the big picture. Check out the city and country they live in, and describe what effect their location has on their need to borrow. Write your findings in an essay and post it to your blog. This should be a well-written, informative, and possibly inspirational essay that shows how much you have learned about developing nations, poverty throughout the world, and ways of dealing with this difficult situation. Kiva.org is a site that is used by about a million people who lend money to those in need. When you go onto the cite, you will find different profiles on some one or a group of people and a biography of why they want the money you might be willing to lend to them. This cite seems to work very efficiently as y...

I'd like to begin saying that I successfully emailed my blog to you last night. I've never been too great with technology, so that was a plus. Secondly, I can't tell you how interested I am in your class already. In my old school, we didn't have human geography but just social studies where we covered the basics like wars and how the people of that time lived. So I hope to expand that topic and learn of different times of different people. I say I'm already interested because of the little speech you gave us today. It's so true. The conflict with our generation so far, is how people think so strongly of their opinion that they can't even stop to listen to someone who thinks differently than them. It's the same way when someone is different from them. This often happens when it comes to people being gay/lesbian or transgender. As well as religion and politics. I feel that if everyone just stopped once in a while, and saw from one another's point of vi...
