Today in Honor's Human Geography with Mr. Schick we continued going over our projects that we we've been working on. Today, the last two groups presented their projects. The first group talked about how in the country they chose there was a strange thing about their population. There were may more men in the country then there were women. Due to this, the men lived longer than the women. In most countries the women almost always live longer than the men. This can be caused by a variety of factors from stupidity to warfare. But however, there are more men in Qatar than there are women. This is most likely due to the oil industry there. Qatar is very much known for their oil industry. Because of this men flock in thousands to Qatar looking for jobs. The second group talked about a charity event called UNICEF Trick-or-Treat which meant that as kids walked around trick-or-treating they would let the adult at the door know that they were collecting spare change for UNICEF. This was a great way to help the world hunger problem with just a small action. This is an example of acting local, thinking global. After this, the bell rang and ended class.
Flight Suit
Today in Mr Schick's wonderful Human Geography class we basically debated over what the school uniform should be for about half the class. Mr. Schick explained to us that he thinks everyone in the school, boys and girls, should wear flight suits. They way Mr. Schick explained it to us made it very convincing. He said that so many people complain about being cold. The flight suit is long sleeved and goes down to your ankles so you will never be cold. So, I'm somewhat convinced we actually should switch our uniform to flight suits. After the whole debate we worked on our political regions. I find the political regions very interesting because Mr. Schick explained to us that the laws within a state have a very big play on which party the state will vote for. For example in Montana North Dakota, and other northwest states, they depend on their guns for their cattle and farms. So, they vote for the Republican party to get less strict gun laws....
