Today we talked more about Socrates and about excellence. I learned that Socrates was a stonemason and he was a philosopher. He also fought in one of the wars and he lived. That is also what shaped his world was the battlefield that he fought on. I learned that what is now the scientific method used to be the Socrates method which means all socrates would do was ask a bunch of questions wanting an answer. But, it wasn't all that great, when he taught kids he corrupted their brains into thinking different things so he got put on the death penalty which caused his death. The death penalty for him was that he had to drink poison and within a few hours he would be dead. Even though he could have escaped the death penalty, he was true to his word and was killed.

Test day

Today we took a test on jared diamond and the culture of Papa New Guinea. I think I did really good on this test and this test should raise my grade because I have a 85% so above an 85 should lift it. To me I think I only got like one or two wrong total. Which was the one where it talked about the prehistoric age and what came before it which I thought is the ice age. Also, the one where it talked about what is wrong with the fertile crescent and I put the volcanoes but now I think it was overarming. I also studied the 14 different animals that can be domesticated and that are 100 pounds and more a lot and there was only one question which said that the only one that wasn't one that could be domesticated. Finally, we have learned a lot about the this topic and what Yalis question really meant to us and Jared diamond.

Population

Today we talked more about the population of the whole world. First we talked about the different types of rate such as  crude birth rate, crude death rate, rate of natural increase, and Net Migration Rate. Crude birth rate is number of births per 1000 of the population which is the opposite of crude death rate. We also learned that the rate of the natural increase is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate and this gives us the annual natural g rowth rate in percentage form for  country or region. we also learned about Net migration net which is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. Finally, we learned that an excess of people leaving the country is net emigration and the people entering is net immigration.
