Review day

Today in Mr. Schick's Human Geography class we talked about what to expect for the mid-terms. There will be questions based on everything we have discussed since the beginning of the year, which i think is going to be very difficult because i have to remember everything since we started. However all i can do is review and review and check over my notes and try to get a good grade. We also talked about how even when we get back we don't change classes which confused me a little bit but if that how it works then that's how it works.

The Essay Review

Today in Human Geography with Mr. Schick we continued to work on our essays in his class. I spent the entire time finishing and revising my essay because its due tomorrow and i only had three paragraphs done. Which for having the essay prompt for close to a week and i still haven't got it completely done, i'm a really bad procrastinator. I didn't even start on it until Tuesday and i had it since Saturday. Regardless i have my concert tonight and i have to print the paper tonight so its gonna be a long night. I also get my new pump today for my diabetes. Its going to be tightly squeezed afternoon but i'm prepared. I'm glad Mr.Schick let us do it in class as well as at home so we could have a nice well written essay fro the mid-terms.

Getting the test back

Today in Human Geography with Mr. Schick we got our tests back and talked about the mid-terms. On the test I got a 89 which is pretty bad, like really bad. Its the lowest i have ever got on a Human geography test, especially the last one before Mid-Terms. But now i have something good to study from. We  then talked about our essays's and i think i have a good start on mine. I have all of my information done and my first paragraph. Its hard this week to work on it though because i have to practice for my chorus concert which means i don't get out of school till late. However, i think i will do good on the essay because its something i actually care about. Its not an essay that i just don't care about. That's what i think about the essay and what we did in class today.

Test before Mid-Terms

Today in Human Geography with Mr. Schick we took our last test of the semester before mid-terms. This test was about emigration and Immigration, and everything we had talked about before including the podcast and the two different packets we got to red and take notes on. I feel as though i did very well on said test. Unfortunately from what i saw there was no extra credit so it looks like the highest i can get is a one hundred, which i'm happy about but i wanted over an one hundred.  Anyway i feel really good about the test and i think i probably got a one hundred or maybe at the least a ninety eight. It wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it would be, i thought it was going to be very difficult but i didn't think it was that hard at all, actually to be honest i thought it was easy. That's the last test for this semester though, so now we must move on to reviewing which i think i will remember everything because i like this class.

Unauthorized Immigrants

Today in human geography we learned more about Unauthorized immigration. We talked about the border in between the united states and Mexico. The view of this from the U.S is that we recognize the motives of them being that they want a better life, employment, and to reconnect with their families. From Mexico, the northern Mexicans want America to show passion to unauthorized immigrants all while southern Mexico is in the same situation as America with all of the unauthorized immigrants coming from Guatemala into Mexico. Then we talked about the attitudes toward migration in the U.S. For example how many Americans want more effective border patrol, and how many jobs unauthorized immigrants can have because of the lack of people who want to do those jobs. And how U.S citizens favor letting law enforcement officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone, and how the problem of illegally coming into America, people suggest it show be the federal law take cover of that. Then how much like the U.S a lot of immigrants come into Europe, and how they are blamed fro crime, unemployment rates, an high welfare. However they are very against immigration but in the nineteenth century ninety percent of immigrants came from them. But Europe is nervous about losing their cultural heritage to that of new immigrants. To end class we talked about some characteristics for long distance immigration. It said most immigrants are male, most are adult individuals, most are young adults, most adults seek work rather than other things.

Power Point Version

Today in Human Geography with Mr.Schick we looked over the video that went with the reading of yesterday. On the power point i learned about how we classify countries to four types of immigration policies, One being maintaining current level, two increasing the level, three decreasing the level, and four being that there is no policy. In this we can see how 21 countries seek immigrants, 32 want fewer immigrants, 116 wish to maintain the level, and 25 have no policy. It works the same for emigration, there are 18 countries who want to increase their level, 46 who want to decrease, 43 who want to maintain their level, and 88 with no policy.  Then i learned about people who are unauthorized persons(As the book calls it).This is where  people come into the United States as an illegal with no paper work. Their were 11.3 million unauthorized persons in the U.S in 2014 and a peak of 12.2 million in 2007. I also got that over one half of unauthorized persons come from Mexico, the remainder are evenly dived between Latin American countries and other regions in the world. From that 11.3 million, 1 million of that are illegal children, and then from the illegal persons their is 4.5 million children born legal. This then relates to the work force because 8 million illegal persons are working in the U.S making 5% of the U.S labor force, making them more likely to do dirty jobs and blue collar work, not white collar work. Lastly i learned about how the U.S put Quotas on how many immigrants could come to America. a Quota put in 1921 called the Quota Act and the nationals Origin Act made in 1924 made it more difficult. in the Act of 1924 it made it to wear only 2% of each country to migrate to the U.S. then in 1965 it was split per hemisphere, 170,000 from eastern and 120,000 from western. Then in 1978 it was a Global Quota of 290,000 then in 1990 it changed to a Global Quota of 700,000.

Reading

Today in Human Geography with Mr.Schick we had to read about our lesson tomorrow. It was very boring and i didn't like it at all. Yet i did learn a couple things. In the reading i learned about how we classify countries to four types of immigration policies, One being maintaining current level, two increasing the level, three decreasing the level, and four being that there is no policy. In this we can see how 21 countries seek immigrants, 32 want fewer immigrants, 116 wish to maintain the level, and 25 have no policy.

Discussion volume four

Today in human geography with Mr. Schick we continued to discuss the same topic of the last couple days. It started with how the people would have to wait in Mexico as a waiting room to get into America. We also talked about how when people were rushing the border the trump administration would throw ear gas to stop them and deter them from entering America. Most people in my class thought this was a good idea. When this happened it showed everyone in that the united states doesn't want and or need you, and that it wasn't up to central America to decide if people were allowed in the United states it was decided by the American government. When Trump does all of this it shows again America first and that all other countries we don't care about and that we will always show that whatever is best for the United States is what will happen. It then leaves us at the very end of class to decide what Asylum should be determined.

Debate and video

Friday in Mr. Schick's human geography class we continued to finish the video and debate on certain things we found in the video. The video first started about Obama and how he put people who suffer from domestic violence can come into the united states. Then we were asked if we liked the rule or if we didn't and i personally don't like the rule. I thought it gave people to wide of a range and on top of that it also gave people more things to fake to be able to get into the country. Then it went to how our president Donald Trump made it harder to be able to get into the country and how he chips away at the asylum claims. The hole class seems to agree with what he is doing because their were so many people coming into the country and when he made it harder to come in in helps our great country.
