Climate, Physical Features and Natural Resources Sketch Notes

The most interesting thing I learn about, climate, physical features and natural resources is that they all equally have a big impact on the people who may settle in an area. For example if in one area there are enormous mountains and lots of natural gas, cows and diamonds and the climate was continental climate the people will not settle there. That is because it will be hard to trade and that will affect their standard of living. I am most proud of the part in my “Physical Features” section where it has a picture of mountains, rainforests and deserts saying away from mountains, rainforests and deserts. I am proud of this because I believe it shows that people don’t want to live their and it is a very good way for me to remember what places people don't prefer to settle.  

Sketch Notes on Trade and Globalization

The most interesting part of globalization and trade was the negative impact. I never thought about something that helped this world in great ways would also have downsides to this. For example people's rights were abused, I would have not thought about the people who work harder and longer they should help the countries who are struggling than they physically can. The part where I have the two factories one in Asia and the other in North America connected by links is the part that I am most proud of because I like the way it show what a multinational  corporation is and how it works. Also I like that the factories show both a negative side and a positive side. The negative side was the pollution and the positive side was the fact the goods were being evenly developed in both continents.

Afghanistan Standard of Living

A country's standard of living doesn't show how everyone in that country lives. Because some people live rich and wealthy and others live poor. The people who are poor don't have good jobs and lots of luxuries. The people who live rich get luxuries and good high paying jobs.  Overall a country's standard of living shows how the population as a whole is doing not each individual person or family.  

The most interesting thing I learned about standard of living was the fact that countries had a dramatic difference in standard of living. That 2 counties that may have been right next to each other were so different, one would be poor and living in poverty and the other would be rich and powerful. Also that you could figure out a country's standard of living by using 5 categories. You can figure out the living of the country's population by using wealth health education infrastructure and leisure time.  

I think that countries with a high standard of living should devote more time helping the countries who don't. For example the Unites States should be working to help Mexico improve their standard of living. The countries with a high standard of living are doing very well and not struggling, so they should help the countries who are struggling.  

Economic Systems Sketch notes

Economy

Economy is everywhere.

Economy is present in my life from the clothes I wear to the iPhone I am obsessed with. Production is a big part of economy because that is where everything is made. Production is present in my life, when I am in my car driving to school it shows production because The cars are produced in a factory. And the clothes that I am wearing were also produced in a factory too. When I get to school the desk I sit at and the pencils I write with are also an example of production,  all of the desks are produced at a factory and so are the pencils. Everything I use is an example of production, and the only way it gets to me is through distribution.  Secondly distribution is a part of my life, Planes, trains, blimps, trucks and ships are ways to distribute your product. If you want to get a product from Japan to the US you have to ship them and then a trucks will take them to the stores. Mail is also a way of distribution, is a company wants to sell a new product then it has to tell people to come buy that product. Next there's consumption, you may think consumption is when you consume a food, there are other meanings. When you go to the store and you go to the checkout you buy your good, pay and leave, I see this all the time. For example when I go back to school shopping I will get all of my notebooks, pens, put them in a cart and go to the cash register and buy them. In addition good are extremely present in my life. All of the clothes I where are goods that I get. When I go up to Newport on my boat, our boat is a good, the beds on the boats are goods. I see goods when I open my eyes in the morning, when I go to school, and as some as I go bed and everywhere inbetween. All of these good my parents buy for me, they have to work to buy these things for me. Lastly, services are present in my life, when I wake up in the morning my dad is leaving to go to work. Doctors, police officers, the SWAT team, artists, vets and nurses are people with service jobs.

Choose to be bothered

 It is important to be bothered because if nobody was bothered nothing would be accomplished. Like the moon one would have gone to the moon if someone wasn't bothered by this no man would ever step foot on the moon. Everyone in the world chooses to be bothered and many try to change what bothered them. All of the people who have made a website to help Africans or dogs who are homeless are trying to change the world, because they were bothered. That is important to me,  I want to be bothered and choose to fix it. It is important to me to choose to be bothered because I want to learn more things and how to make them fair, equal and right.  I also want to change what's wrong and make it right. Like the little kid in the video “Georgia Orphans Mission: Make Others Smile”  A kid tries to make people who are sad, happy, he was bothered about the sad people walking around. We need to change what’s wrong and be bothered.
