Today in human geo we watched a video on Hans Rosling who
taught all about global health. He likes to show his education in both enjoyment
and understanding. Through the video he discussed
his version of the population pyramid so people can both enjoy and understand.
He showed us his version of a population pyramid where it shows if countries are
rich and healthy or poor and sick. Lifespan starts from 25 years to 75 years
old. And the income starts from 400 to 40000 dollars. During the year 1810 all
countries were mostly under ages 50 and at 400 dollars. Which was extremely unhealthy
and poor. On the graph Europe was brown, Asia was red, the middle east was green,
the sub-Saharan Africa is blue and last but NOT LEAST… America is yellow! As
the dates go one from 1810 is when America, Europe and the middle east went up.
This increase came from the industrial revolution. Not only did it create a rich
country but increased the population and made it more healthier. Closer to the
2000’s the sub-Saharan Africa and Asia gained independence and are not poor and
sick like they used to be.
Today in human geo we talked all class about this extra credit thing that could give us 5 to 15 points if we complete this with a 100 percent. But Mr. Schick, my teacher introduced us to this website called Kiva. On this site, it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money. site it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money. You can lend as much money as you want. And you will always be paid back the amount you lent. But as we were looking and exploring this site it made me sad when people only had a few hours and they were so close to their final amount! Because when people don’t make their goal they have to restart!! But I do ...
