Magazine

Today in class we started to work on our magazine project. Caitlin and I's subject is British colonization and African independence.

"God Grew Tired of Us"

Today we finished the movie God Grew Tired of Us. My favorite part of the movie was when John's mom and sister were reunited with him. It was funny how his mom was skipping and singing in the airport. I felt that this movie really shows people how life in Sudan is and how we should be thankful for what we have.
(They walked 1,000 miles)

God Grew Tired of us (Movie)

Yesterday in class we watched how the men were doings after two years. One of the men (daniel?) found out his family was still alive. Heis now working hard to send money over to them to help cloth, feed, and shelter them. Another man (John?) started college. He wanted to learn moreso he could get better jobs. Two years after theycame from Kenya I believe that they have made real progress. Atleast they know not to eat the butter or jelly.

We are all sprinkles on the great donut of life ( Movie Definitions)

The war in Sudan:
It was started shortly after their independance from Britian.(1983) Many lives were lost from people killing one another. Sudan was quickly becoming a war zone. The guys were often killed and their women raped. Many children were rounded up into huts, that would be set on fire. Although many people have made it to refugee camps, many have been injured or murdered on the way to the refugee camps. Many people still go to bed hungry and need our help throughout the world. Their are two different religions in Africa. Muslims and African Christians. Muslims live in the North and African Christians in the South.

Today in class we watched how the men from Kenya were doing in America. So far some of them don't like how they are treated. For example, they were told not to go places in groups because it scared people. You can not also ask or talk to a random stranger. They also don't understand how to cook or eat proper meals. It is difficult for them to adapt to our style of life. Missing their friends has also been a huge problem. Many of the men feel bad that they are in America and miss their freiends at home.Although they are learning about jobs and their schedule I can imagine how difficult this must be for them.

Things that annoy Mr. Schick and notes on the movie.

Today in class we learned that 2 things really annoy Mr. Schick.
1. When people don't fully hold the door open for someone
2. When people say "no problem" or "no, thankyou" after you say thankyou.

Homework:
1)Why did the Lost Boys have to run away from their homes?
-The boys had to run away from their homes because they were under attack and being killed. If they didn't leave they would have died or severely hurt. 

2) Why couldn’t they stay in Ethiopia? - They couldn't stay in Ethiopia because its goverment was taken over. They ha no choice but to move.


3) What was life like in the refugee camp?
- Life inthe refugee camps were very poor. It was sad to see how skinny these people were because they don't have enough food. Some of the men still go to bed hungry some nights.

Test Review

Ancestor History

             My mom, Tina Graziano was born on November 13^th, 1966 in Baltimore, Maryland.  Her Mom, Thelma Graziano was also born in Baltimore on October 28^th, 1942.

Laura’s mother Mary Hoffman and her father George Hoffman were both born in Baltimore as well. Samuel Wade’s parents, Samuel and Harriett Wade were both born in Ireland. This is my mom’s side of the family.

             My father, Daniel Carson was born June 20^th, 1966. His father, Robert Carson was born December 17^th. Robert Carson’s parents were Omer and Ella Hamilton. Omer was originally from Ireland. He moved to Illinois with his family and then later on moved to Selma, California. Ella (Omer’s wife) was also a decedent from Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of treasure.  Ella Hamilton’s mother and father were John and Matilda Smith. They lived in Aberdeen for a while and then moved to another city.  Alden Carson (Daniel Carson’s mother) was born in Maryland on June 7^th. Her parents were Georgia Amus and Mark Hopkins. Mark Hopkins mother and father were Georgia and John Hopkins. Both of them also lived in Maryland.

If I could live anywhere...

  If I could live anywhere in the world, one of the places I would live in is Australia. I would live here because of how beautiful the country is. I would love to go see the Outback and go on camping trips. I would also be interested in their lifestyle and how they live. Another reason I want to go to Australia is because they speak English. If I went to France I feel that I would have trouble picking up their language.  If I were to move to Australia I would miss my friends and family. I feel that Facebook or Skype would not help me. I would always be thinking of them and wondering how they are doing. A good thing about me moving to Australia is so that I can learn about their culture. I have always wanted to go to another country and learn different things. I think if I moved to Australia I would miss my family and would have to move back to Maryland.

            Another place I would move to is Italy. I have always been interested in the Italian Lifestyle and how they live near so many famous places and statues. For me, I feel that if I moved there it would be a blessing to see where my ancestors lived. A pull factor for living there would just be in general all the things I would get to experience. The push factor is once again my friends and family. I would miss them and feel that I would be too far away. If an emergency happened I want to be close so that I can help and comfort my family. I would love to learn Italian one day and visit Italy. I feel that it would be a great experience and I would learn so much.

Population

Over 6.8 Billion people in the world. The population is increasing by 80 million per year.
90 % of the population growth takes place in the developing countries such as Africa, South & East Aisa, and Latin America.

Women are expected to live longer than men because men tend to do dangerous & harder work.
RNI ( Rate of natural increase)
- Produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate then dividing it by 10
-this gives us the annual natural growth rate
( Dont forget about immigrants & Emmigrants)

Net migration Rate- the difference between the # of years persons entering & leaving a country during a year
Entering the country = immigration
exiting the country = emmigration
Push & Pull forces-
Push - things that make you want to leave a country
pull- things that make you want to come to a country

Push examples-

• Civil wars
• Health care system
• unemployment

Pull Examples-

• Religious freedom
• political freedom
• Better ecomony
• Health care is better

TFR = the average number of children a woman has
To keep the population the same the TFR must be 2.1
