facts about world leaders

Today in class we talked about half of the countries we did last week. We talked about their main leaders and facts about them. Such as that Angela Merkel is one of the most powerful women in the world. Dilma Rousseff stood up against her country in the 60s and 70s, she was captured and tormented for three years. Xi Jinping is the son of one of the founding fathers of chinas modern government. Francois Hollande had no experience in government before he became Frances president. And how netanyahu has lived in the united states as a child. We still have the other half of the countries we will do Wednesday.

cultural geography

Today we went over the test we took last week, I got a 93 on it so I was happy. We then started to talk about cultural geography, we started off with the difference between county, state, nation-state, and nations. We went over a list of traits that a place must have in order to be considered a country. We discussed how Somalia is not a country more then a failed state. Somalia does not have a strong economy, a transportation system, a government(public services and police), or sovereignty over their country. Class ended with a video of a cartoon naming all countries part of the UN in the early 90s. one country, Yugoslavia, had not had their civil war then and i noticed Nepal was not on the map.
