Population Pyramids pt. 2

Today in human geography we talked more about population pyramids. There are 3 shapes of population pyramids, a Christmas tree shape, a square and a cup. A Christmas tree shaped pyramid means that growth rates are slow, there is a high birth rate, and a short life expectancy. An example of  a country with this kind of shape in its population pyramid would be Bangladesh. A box shape would mean there is a low infant mortality rate, there is a slow population growth, and a long life expectancy. An example of this shape would be the United States. A cup shape would mean there is a low birth rate, a shrinking population and long life expectancy. An example of this would be Japan.

Notes on World Leaders pt. II

Today in human geography, we took more notes on world leaders. First, we took notes on Syrian leader Bashar al Assad. Assad took over after his brother who was groomed to be the heir died in a car crash. He is regarded as a cruel and heartless leader, as he bombed Arab Spring protesters (literally his own people) which led to a Syrian Civil War.
