(9/21) I can explain how culture moves across the planet, and identify key charactoristics that define a culture

# data[].attributes.body
Culture moves across the planet because many people share the same religion and when they relocate, or move, they share the religion and beliefs with the people around them. The people around them might accept that, and then they spread that by taking in that culture. Their families also then get brought in because they can get involved in their cultures. The key characteristic of culture is values, beliefs, norms, symbols and language. THat us how culture moves across the planet to become global.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to eat different foods from different parts of the world, like taco's from Mexico, or Rice from China. I look at different parts of the world online to see when I'm older, where I will want to travel to. I talk with people that have lived in different parts of the world. I study different parts of the world in class. I buy things that are made in different areas of the world. There are stores that are located around the world that I use all the time (Apple products, and McDonalds). There is also social media that shares all around the world.

(9/16) I can explain why society changes over time

# data[].attributes.body
Society changes because as the different variables change, that includes the weather and many more causes, the effects happen. The effects include what happens after you make the change, which is like the population and others. For example, if people move somewhere because of their crops that they grow, and the weather changes and you can no longer grow the crops, the population may decrease because people will move away to go somewhere else. That's why society change is like cause and effect.

(9/15) I can identify characteristics of a democracy and dictatorship 

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between democracy and dictatorship is that democracy has more freedom for the people. You are able to vote and it is not ruled over by just one person. A democracy gives people freedom of speech and more rights. A dictatorship is ruled by one person. Dictatorships give the people less, close to no, rights. They rule over rule everyone else and control everything. The people have to listen and follow their leader with out any freedom. That's the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

(9/14) I can explain the difference between a developing and developed country

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between developing countries and developed countries, is actually really simple. A developing country is a country that is working to get better, improving themselves so they can succeed. A developed country is when the country is already at a good point and they don't need to do anything else to improve.

(9/13) I can identify key economic indicators

# data[].attributes.body
There are 7 economic indicators total. The first one includes the GDP, GDP means how much money there is per total. GDP Per Capita is how much an individual is making. Next is life expectancy, that means how long someone will live. After that there is Infant Mortality Rate, which is how many deaths there is for infants. Literacy Rate is next, and Population Growth Rate is after, which means how much the population grows, and lastly, how high their percent is for Access to Water, which you can see who has access and how much doesn't have access to water. Those are the 7 economic indicators.

# data[].attributes.body
The 4 types of economic systems. Traditional, Free Market, Mixed Market, and Command. Traditional is to do whats always been done, free market is you can follow your own rules, Mixed market is with the help of the government while command gets all ideas from the government. These are the different economic systems.

(9/9) I can understand population change

# data[].attributes.body
I understand that population can change when people are born or people pass away, but there is another way population can change. Population can also change by people leaving or entering the country. If a large amount of people leave the country, then a large amount of the population will be lost. If a large amount of people enter the country then a large amount of people will be added to the population.

Can you give examples of why people leave or enter a country?  We call these push and pull factors. -- Mr. D

(9/8) I can explain the stages of population and the Demographic Transition Model

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the different stages of Demographic Transition. For example: I know how the population changes by seeing the birth and death rates. I also understand this because I know how to graph a chart of all the birth and death rates for each.
Stage 1: has high birth rates high death rates, and low population.
Stage 2: High birth rates, falling death rates and the population is growing.
Stage 3/4: Low birth and death rates
~Stage 3: Population continues to grow
~Stage 4: Doesn't grow or decrease
Stage 5: Birth rates are lower than death rates,  Population goes down

Strong and clear summary of the 5 stages! -- Mr. D

(9/7) I can interpret population pyramids

# data[].attributes.body
I can interpret population pyramids because I know they are graphs that show the population. They separate males and females, and show the age differences. They normally would go up by 5 so for example 0-4, 5-9, 10-14 all the way up to 100+ They show how the population changed and how it most likely will change. For example if there is a lot of kids and parents the population will most likely increase, where as if the population for kids dropped, then the population would go down and then grow.

Excellent description of pop pyramids. -- Mr. D

People and the environment impact each other
- 7 words above
People and the environment both change each other. They change to help themselves. They can both impact negatively and positively. They can help them by making the environment healthier, or having the right climate, but they can also change it negatively like pollution, or natural destruction.

Needs examples to support your reasoning. -- Mr. D

# data[].attributes.body
~Sustainability is using Earth's limited resources by people that don't constrain resources that people will use in the future.
~Environment protection, economic growth, and social equity are reducing threats to environment
~Earth's resources do not have aa maximum or minimum because the number is always changing a lot over time
~Conservation is natural resources like water or air  that can make medicine and food for people
~Preservation is people not changing the product as well but it still helps human needs in order for people to survive, like plants

# data[].attributes.body
Today we learned the difference between modifying the land, depending on the land, and adapting to the land.
To modify the land is to change something in the land. The people have to build something so that they can live on the land. Think of construction. To make the modification you are going to need to have construction on the land and that shows you are modifying the land. (EX: When you build a way to block water, when you build a bridge)
To adapt to the land is when you help yourself with the land
(EX: Solar panels, a fan)

Facts I learned throughout this text piece that help me back up my explination include....
~People can adjust to the government and they can also modify it.
~Cultural Ecology is the study of human- environment relations.
~Environmental Determinism is when geographers argued about the physical environment being the cause of social development
~ Different climates help grow different crops, so it depends on your environment about what you an grow (People choose the crops to grow based off where they live)
~ People can now develop to the environment better than others could in the past (Its easier for people to adapt to different places than before)
~Polder is the piece of land that's made by draining an area of the water
~ People also modify the environment to protect the environment like Modifying Southern Louisiana to protect itself from flooding and other natural causes to cause disaster

I know that people can not live in places that are too...
1. Hot
2. Cold
3. Wet
4. Dry
5. High up (Altitude)
These are places that people can not live because of the environment. It is not safe or healthy to live in places like this because it is not flat ground to live on and get resources from and they will not get as much oxygen as they need.
