People, when they travel bring culture with them. If you order Chinese food one day that is considered as a "culture that is moving." A culture represents how we are all different with the way we live

(9/19) I can give examples of how the world is interconnected

# data[].attributes.body
The world is interconnected because of globalization. Globalization is how we are all connected on way or another. A lot of us have the same routine every day for example. We don't all do but some of us do. Many businesses are world wide like McDonalds or Starbucks. We are all connected in many many different ways, those are just examples. Cultures and religions can connect people in many ways. Christianity, Buddhism, etc... All of this connects us together.

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

# data[].attributes.body
Society changes over time for multiple reasons. The biggest change, I think, is like equality and freedom. We are all so much more equal and it is so amazing. If society was anything like it was when racism was very big I would probably die because I can't take any of that. We are so much more outgoing and people are okay now with expressing who they are. There are still some people out there that don't realize it's 2016 and they don't appreciate that unfortunately, but people are so much more positive  which is amazing. That can be because of the internet for sure. YouTube, Instagram all that are huge factors in equality and gay rights etc.... People can express who they really are from multiple social media platforms. If you look up boys in makeup from Instagram you'd probably find thousands of results.

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

# data[].attributes.body
A democracy is freedom. We are free. We aren't controlled by the government. We can do whatever we want with our lives. We can be an accountant, a singer, a dancer, we could be a mermaid for god's sake. We get paid on our own, we have our own money, we are free. A dictatorship is the exact opposite of everything I just said. We are controlled by the government and one person. They choose our jobs, we all get paid the same (which probably isn't a lot) and we just aren't free. No one's free. Everything is controlled by the government

(9/13) I can explain the difference between a developing and developed country

# data[].attributes.body
A developed country is a country that already has all the key economic indicators. They have a GDP, literacy rate, etc.... A developing country is a country that doesn't have a high standard of living unlike the developed countries.

(9/12) I can identify different economic systems

# data[].attributes.body
The different economic systems vary from government control, to consumer control. There are Traditional Markets, Free Markets, Mixed Markets, and Command Markets. Traditional doesn't really exist. This is where you do what's always been done before. A Free Market is freedom without rules or government protection. The Mixed Markets is freedom with rules or government protection. Lastly Command Markets are completely controlled by the government.

(9/9) I can explain and give examples of why population changes

# data[].attributes.body
Besides birth and death rates, industrialism has a big factor in population. Countries that have many cities that are big on factories and business. Jobs have big roles on population because people might need to work more then have a family etc.... Refugees and immigrants change the population as well. Any conflicts going on in a country like wars or political issues may lead someone to leave.

Good examples of push (things that drive people away) and pull (things that draw people to a place) factors that change population. -- Mr. D

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

# data[].attributes.body
There are 5 stages of population. Stage 1 and Stage 5 are rare though so mainly we focus on Stages 2-4. The Demographic Transition model shows in columns the stages from 1-5
1 would be equal to very poor and 5 would be very urban.

Unclear.  What makes each stage unique?  (Refer to the table you sorted in class). -- Mr. D

(9/7) I can interpret population pyramids 

# data[].attributes.body
Population pyramids are split from male to female. It starts from the youth age to reproductive/working age all the way to retired age. Every country has a different population pyramid. More urban areas might have a more narrow base and a wider middle/top section because urban areas aren't really a place for family's. Suburban areas would have a wide base and a balanced middle/top section because that's more family friendly.

Clear descriptions of pop pyramids. -- Mr. D

I've learned that we really have to be careful that we don't use up all those nonrenewable resources now. We eventually will run out of them, that's a fact, but we do need to slow down on using them so next generations can use them.

(9/5) I can define sustainability and explain it's relationship to population

# data[].attributes.body
Sustainability--The use of the Earth's limited resources by humans in ways that do not constrain resource use by people in the future.

This relates to population because many people are concerned that if we use all of our nonrenewable resources too quickly, there will be none for future generations. Nonrenewable resources are resources that once they are gone, they are gone. Kinda like a product that's limited edition. A lot of people are saying that we are using those nonrenewable resources too fast right now and that there will be none for the future, but many others are saying that's absurd we have plenty left. We do need to be careful with those resources so we don't lose them soon.

Strong explanation and use of vocab (renewable and non-renewable resources). - Mr. D

Modify----Building dams to prevent flooding or using it for electricity

(9/1) I can explain how humans modify and depend on land

# data[].attributes.body
Humans have been trying to modify the environment for a while. Dams are an example, dikes, seawalls, canals etc...Most were unsuccessful or else Hurricane Katrina wouldn't have happened! Or any other major floods/other hurricanes. We aren't the only ones trying to modify the land. The Netherlands are taking huge precautions for flooding as well.

Good use of evidence from the reading. Can you define what it means to modify the land? Can you explain the difference between "modifying" and "adapting"? - Mr. D

# data[].attributes.body
There are certain foods that you won't be able to grow/make. If you live in a really dry place, agriculture isn't a very good idea because it's so dry you'll get no water. You could still get them, but they may not taste very well. Certain places don't have different kinds of animals. Some places are too dry for certain animals, or too wet.

Good explaination of the "5 Toos". Don't forget to put the date in your title. - Mr. D
