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.

Writing Essays 2

Today we finished or almost finished our or almost finished our essay we have to write for tomorrow.  This is the rest from yesterday that I have  Russia   is a country where they have  many different  things  going for them. They have a very low birth rate so there  are  rarely people having babies which will  drop the population tremendously  so for the future even though they have a very high population will probably drop in the next decade.  Russia is also not  a very  nice country to immigrate to cause the government  has long term migration that Russia still haven't dealt with.  We also must consider the fact that most migrants have no access to social services and benefits in Russia, excluding a small group with permanent residence permits.   Finally, what the leader can do is make it easier to adapt to migrating to Russia and persuade people to have more ba bies.  Therefore, the last country was...

Jared Diamond 2

Today we learned more about the papa New Guinea culture and agriculture. So from the video it talked about the Draa which is the what they believed was the first community that was ever discovered and ran by people. These. communities of people were in number of about 40-50 people so not at all. compared to modern day communities. This place also held the first ever farm created by man, and what was different about the two place Draa and Papa New Guinea was that Draa was a place where they planted wheat and barley way more nutritious and had way more protein than the sago from the tree that New Guineans made. I also learned that the places that started farming one thing and it came from there was China which had rice, Americas which had beans, squash and corn and finally South Africa which had sorghum, millet, and yams. Finally, this wouldn't be possible for Jared Diamond to do all of this if it weren't for geographical luck.

Today we were writing essays for the exam we have on Friday where we have to write a whole 5 page essay on the topic we chose. This is what I have wrote so far,  For this essay I have chosen Egypt,  Mexico ,  and Russia which as we know has many  different  backgrounds  that  are good and bad.  These countries all deal with population  problems  and  migration problems due to war, poverty, and even  religious persecution.  Even though they have these things there is still good things that come out of living in these places.  Also, what their leaders need to do about these  problems and how they  can  fix them.   So, let's talk about  Mexico ,  Mexico  is a country that doesn’t really have a population growth which makes the countr y skyrocket in their population. They have a stable population of people but the real question many people want to go somewhere else rather  than ...
