SEPT 22, 2014 Why do people Migrate?

Today in human geo class we talked about why do people migrate and total fertility rate.

Most of people migrate because the country that they live did't give them what they want.

1. push forces 

2. civil war 

3. environmental degradation

4. unemployment or underemployment

5.religious or ethnic persecution 

  Pull forces 

1. better economic apportion

2. better health services 

3. religious freedom 

4. political freedom 

Total fertility Rate (TFR); average number of children born per woman.

for a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1.

The TFR high than 2.1 means  the population rises like Nigeria is 5.38. Less than 2.1 is population fails like Japan is only 1.39.

SEPT 4, 2014 Four Terms

AGORA

Early in Greek history (18th century–8th century BC), free-born male land-owners who were citizens would gather in the agora for military duty or to hear statements of the ruling king or council. Later, the agora also served as a marketplace where merchants

ARETE

Arete , in its basic sense, means "excellence of any kind".The term may also mean "moral virtue".In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential.

POILS

It can also mean citizenship and body of citizens. In modern historiography, polis is normally used to indicate the ancient Greek city-states, like Classical Athens and its contemporaries, and thus is often translated as "city-state".

.SOCRATES

He is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes.

THE DEATH OF SOCRATES

is a 1787 oil on canvas painting by the French painter Jacques-Louis David. Like many of his works from that decade, the painting focuses on a classical subject, in this case the story of the execution of Socrates, as told by Plato in his Phaedo.

SEPT 3rd，2014 Message to Garcia

Today's Human Geography we talked about a story " Message to Garcia" written in 1899 by Elbert Hubbard . The story was happened in the Spanish America War, the president Mckinley  wanted to give a message to Garcia from Rowan, even though Rowan didn't known the location about  him, but he still did it. I think Rowan is great, he didn't have any complain with this difficult work. But for me, i always complain about many some things, like my homework or my lunch... It can't be compared with Rowan's work, Rowan was the hero in this War.It was a really a good story.
We also talked about the ice bucket challenge and i showed my video to my friends. Overall, it was a interesting class today.
