Yesterday we did the presentation on our given countries. My group which consisted of Chris, Hannah, Banks, Tom, and myself; we had the Country Kenya. Kenya as I said and as Hannah said, they are a developing African-American nation with a very high unemployment rate of 40 percent. I did the slide on energy and electricity access which was one of the factors of Kenya issues and problems. They had no one working in their factories and that was why they weren't producing any crude oil, and that was part of the reason of why their unemployment rate was very high. Over 13 million people within the population didn't have access to electricity. I think that I personally did a good job on the presentation, I gave a lot of information on my topic, and I clearly stated the energy problem which was the main part of the rubric So I would give myself a 97-100 because I did everything like giving information and stating the problem right, but I had to look at my note card a couple times ...

In the story Gun, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond explains why some more materialized and geographically lucky continents are better at invading and conquering other continents. Some of these geographically lucky features are land, immunity to germs, food production, and the domestication of animals. Eurasia is a Geographically lu...
Today we took the test on the 5 major religions we went over in class starting Wednesday. Those religions were Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. I felt pretty good for the most part, but there was probably like 4 or 5 that I got wrong and I am very mad because I KNEW the answer and I just didn't think about it till after and it was a dumb mistake. Plus there was two or three that I studied and I remember studying them, but I just blanked out when I saw them and I probably got them wrong. So this isn't going to be nearly as good of a grade as I was hoping.
