Today in Human Geo we watched more of the movie. I was very interesting the thing I found out here is a list…
·         Kids are getting trained to work at a young age
·         By the time they are my age they can talk English and know how to use computers
·         The tech and knowledge they are learning will soon success their parents
·         They reuse a lot of material for old buildings
o   like metal
o   bricks
·         For taking material apart women get 1 to 2 dollars a day just to scarp concrete off of bricks.
·         Men get 3 to 4 dollars a day to move robs, metal, and bricks.
The reason that businesses go to China for work is because there is not labor law. Also they do not have an amount of money that they need to pay a person, unlike the USA who has a law that you need 7.50. This is one of the reasons that China has so much poverty.

Today in human geo got our test back from last Monday. I was very happy with my test results I got an 86%. This was nice because with mid-quarters tomorrow I will have a great grade. After that we started a video. These are the notes I started to take. China is changing, here is one of the cities; Chogqing it is located on the Yangtrz river. The weird this is that China is rising in some areas but others are falling even lower. There are signs everywhere saying you can only have one child. If you have any more you have to pay for them. This is because some parts of China have not been part of the uplifts.

Today in HG we got our quizzes back. I did not due as well as I wanted but I still did okay. I will just have to work harder next time. I was no the only one who did not to great though. We were the lowest ranked class. I did fine on matching the leaders it was the back that messed me up, but the more we go over it the easier it gets.

Today in HG we went over our President Facts

Dilma Rousseff- Brazil
·         She had a dark past and spent three years in prison. Tortured, shocked from her feet and ears, hung upside down from a stick. 
·         In May 2012 she took 12 articles out of the New Forest code.
·         Using these reason I do not know if she could be a fully trusted person with this much power. 
       Coupaeat-trying to over through the government. 
David Cameron- United Kingdom
 He is a descendent of King William IV
  He attended Heatherdown Preparatory School, and entered top academic class two years early at Eton College.
  David worked for Conservative Party’s research department.
 1988 he graduated Brasenose College, Oxford with a first class honors degree.
  Based on these facts I feel like he knows his place in politics and makes a good president.

Hugo Chavez- Venezuela
·         He was a former army paratrooper.
·         In 1998 he caused a seismic shift in Venezuelan politics, he become popular and won the election that year.
·         He won the election ever since then and has changed one this in the constitution which allowed unlimited presidential terms.
·          He speaks for the poor according to his supporters.
·         I think that Hugo would make a decent president I don’t know if I would want his ruling the USA but maybe I’m wrong.
Pranab Mukherjee- India  
·         He was a former Prime Minister
·         His term runs for five years and he replaced India’s first women president.
·         He was head for several top government ministries.
·         According to these references he seem like he knows what he is doing, which is what you want in a president.
François Hollande- France
·         He is Frances least popular president
·         Only 36% of the people there have confidence in him.
·         Plus he has only been president for six months
·         Just from these few things I don’t think he is going to make a very good president and will be voted out next term.
Hamid Karzai- Afghanistan
·         Lead the country since the fall of Taliban.
·         He was the White House favorite during most of Bush’s term
·         Ever since Bush left office he has become hostile to the US
·         I think he would be a great president if you were not one of this targeted countries.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad- Iran
·         He has been a divisive figure in world affairs
·         He encourages the nuclear programs, especially if they are towards Israel.
·         Again with him he seems like a good president unless you’re in his targeted location.

·         Since his leader ship china has become the most powerful economies country.
Benjamin Netanyahu-Israel
