Today in class we had a quiz. The quiz was on the north and central American countries. I believe I got one of the answers wrong on the North American countries. Other than that, it was easy. I studied hard during advisory, so the countries were still fresh in my mind. That last minute study was a major help to me. The website was also a huge help to me. It took me eight tries, but I finally got 100% on both categories and under a minute. The most frustrating was definitely the north American countries. The countries down south are so small and close together I got them confused. For some reason I kept putting Costa Rica where Honduras should be. It was very frustrating at first but eventually on the day of the quiz I was able to tell the two apart. The central America countries were the easiest to identify. The countries were spaced out and much larger.

The three things are advance technology, large population and a well organized workforce. Having advance technology gives you a huge advantage in power and goods against your competitors. A large population is simply for multi-tasking. Multiple parts of the country working on different areas to help their country succeed. Having a well organized workforce is what helps the large population work so well. With this the people can get a month's work done in half the time. Pre-history is 13,000 years ago when we didn't record our history. The people then were all living about the same. People in Papua New Guinea who live in the rain forest are still hunters-gatherers. There are people in the Brazilian rain forest who are still hunter-gatherers as well. Wild sago is food the new Guinean people get out of a sago tree. They chop the tree d...
