Human geography

            Today in human geography we started with Mr. Schick’s story about his exciting weekend. Then we took notes on cultural geography, I learned some examples of cultural geography. One is Brazil is the only South American nation which does not speak Spanish. It speaks Portuguese so some people might ask the question: Is Brazil Hispanic or Latino? Canada is a bilingual nation. French and English are its official languages. Switzerland has multiple languages but very little conflict between the groups. English is now concentered the world language and is used for most business transactions around the world. The major religions in the world today are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We also learned about ethnic heritage. An example of this is in Yugoslavia, many ethnic groups were made into one country which are the Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, and the Albanians. When strong leadership died out the different groups fought a very bloody civil war and now they all have separate countries.  We talked about a lot today in class I tried to fit it all in to the blog. That’s all for today, thank you for reading.
