I was absent today and from the looks of it, we didn't go over any new content. If we did, I will gather that tomorrow.

An Essential Map Guide

Today we focused on the key question of what truly makes up Human Geography. It is incredible the depths you can go to while exploring each branch. First of all, Human Geography deals with the study of all aspects of life from the Environment all the way to the Economy of certain regions and countries. With that said, a point was made today that we can learn quite a lot by looking at thematic maps  which can chart anything about a general area such as it's average citizen energy use or maybe their calorie intake per day. By comparing certain areas you can sometimes see substantial differences which can assist in researching geographic issues such as an influx of population or even a lack of exercise. While thematic maps can be useful for gathering data, they may not give you the landscape or the climate of a general area as a Physical Map  would. Physical Maps are great for researching and discovering parts of either your region or world that you didn't know about. Last but...

As our class has become aware, we have an upcoming test and essay for our ancient Rome studies. To better prepare ourselves for this assessment, we as a class are taking steps now to ensure that come June 1st-June 2nd, we are well prepared to ace this.

In my answer, I'll likely touch on numerous aspects of the two governments including their system (democracy, republic, etc.), laws, terms, philosophy, roles of power, and possibly even the criminal justice system.

After a deep analysis of the social classes within Rome, as well as a comparison to those of Greece, we were directed to research Roman Architecture, one of my favorite subjects within our Ancient Studies. More specifically, we were to find one image of a Roman Structure then describe it. Mr. Schick made it clear that it shouldn't be the Roman Colosseum, something in which many classmates would likely post.  In the following work, there will be a photo, use, location, history, and personal analysis of a specific Roman Structure, The Baths of Diocletian:  Photo: Shown above is The Baths of Diocletian.  Location: The Baths of Diocletian is located on the Viminal, the lowest of Rome's seven hills within that region in Rome. It was important that it could be accessible (more on that soon); hence, it was to be placed in between two very populous groups of Rome, the Esquilines and the Quirinals.  Usage:  As the name implies, The Baths of Dio...
