Today we watched another video on demographic transition. We also sketched it into out notebooks. One thing I learned is that stage 5 really doesn't exist. It's just a theory of what will happen to the country. We have plenty of countries that have made it to the 4th stage but they haven't moved past it yet. There's a possibility it may happen in my lifetime. Right now the country is in stage 4, we are having less children than the previous stages we've been in. I believe stage 5 leads into a baby boom. Stage 1 starts off with a high birth rate and a high death rate, but a low population/NIR. If there is a baby boom in stage 5, it will give the demographic transition what it needs to be in stage 1. I don't know how the population will be low though. The very idea of stage 5 is crazy all by itself. It could lead to the fall of a country or the rise to newfound power. Whether it's good or bad, it will definitely change the way we see countries. if it leads to the fall of a country imagine if every country reached stage 5 one by one. Each country will reach it's peak and then crumble to nothing, then the people will have to start over as hunter and gatherers. Maybe that's how they run back into stage 1, stage 5 sets them up for failure for them to try again as hunters and gatherers. wack.

Today we talked about the effect humans had on the land and how they changed it. For example, Manhattan was a plain island. Not many buildings or skyscrapers reaching into the sky. There wasn't even that many people living on the island. But then they started to build homes and workspace. Now more people came to the island to find a new home or job. When people think of New York city they think about new opportunities. When the buildings were finished, many people came to the city, they started their own businesses.  Soon more and more people came, and the population grew. It could be compared to the gold rush in the west when everyone moved out to find fortune. The city is always working and always moving. Now the people of New York city are living life with hope of a better future. They wake up each morning to become a better person than they were yesterday.

We got our tests back today. The class averaged around a 75%. We had notes to use and we still tied with the honors class who didn't have notes. I need to take better notes for my blog. All my notes were in my notebook but we won't use that. We will only be using the blogs. A couple of people got A's on the test. Others not so much. Fun fact every single person who took the test got this one question wrong. It was a trick question that messed with our perception and our thinking. The question had specific coordinates on it, but it doesn't exist in the world. Everyone just took one glance at the numbers and and assumed it was absolute location. It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked
