Today in Human Geo, we talked about the passage A Message to Garcia and the way the author Elbert Hubbard wrote this passage is like it was from decades ago, like the 1800's. Today we talked about the way he wrote this passage and what he was trying to say throughout the passage. He would word the passage like it was in the 1800's, for example, "By the Eternal!" Which eternal means God, but instead he used eternal. The passage was really confusing in the beginning because he used names that we didn't know who these people are and what their background is or what the reason was that they are in this passage. Later on, after reading the passage we learn that the passage was trying to prove something, that people will make excuses and complain about their job and this passage was basically a test for Rowan. It was in the middle of the Spanish- American War and Rowan was asked by President McKinley to go and find General Garcia and Rowan passed the test and did what he was told without any excuses or complaining. President McKinley basically called Rowan a hero because he passed the test and didn't make excuses or complain about what the President was asking of him.
Hans Rosling 200 years in 4 minutes
Today in Human Geo we watched this video by this swedan man named Hans Rosling. He talked about 200 years ago and how our economy has changed in a good way and a little in a bad way. He talked about how 200 years ago most of the world was down on the graph at poor and sick and as the years progressed so did some of the countries. United Kingdom was kind of like the 1st ones to make the industrial revolution a thing. When they came up with machines to do things that would take people longer, it made things go faster and it was made products be finished quicker and the more products that were made and sold the more money it would be for that country. As the years progressed so did our economy and now China, India and the United States are one of the tops countries that are in the top of the graph.
