Continued Religion Religion

-
We continued with the Religion content today and I was able to confirm that we have a quiz this upcoming Monday. Class today was filled with good questions from everyone yet I feel that since we are in a subject such as religion, the facts that Mr. Schick can teach us are most commonly statistics  that we know now. This is mostly because this subject has lots of gaps since most of these religions are pre-historic or at least when everything was written. I still very much enjoy the religion subject within Human Geo because the students (including me) can make connections between current events and how they can be traced back in history. A statistic we found today was that since during World War II included a lot of execution of Jews, the number following Judaism has declined. Though we didn't look at a chart with the number of adherents. 

I was delighted to find that information regarding all these religions were on Mr. Schicks blog website, which makes my job to make a Quizlet quite easy. Easy to the point where I don't have to dig through different forms of notes rather I just compile anything I think will be content on the quiz right on the slide presentation. I am going to enjoy my weekend as well as study for this looming quiz which should be easy enough because of the easy Quizlet creation. Easy! 

That concludes my November 22 Blog Post, Till next time!

As discussed yesterday, we were instructed to write an essay question which would be used on the upcoming test. As a matter of fact, we were informed that our test (or at least part of it) is going to be during our class time this Thursday. Meaning we have a fair amount of time to study still; though, we expect to receive more information regarding the format of the test soon. My essay question and explanation is as follows: As we discussed in class, Socrates was a man of austere philosophy and even gave his life for his beliefs. With that said, write a five-paragraph essay explaining the life Socrates, how, and why he was put to death. Starting with your first paragraph, describe the Socratic Method and some possible ways we see it reflected in our world today. For your second paragraph, describe Socrates' nature (personality) based upon how he thought, acted, taught others. And In your third paragraph, give a general overview of Socrates' crimes and how they contradict

In light of yesterday's assignment, we were instructed today to reflect on our accountability throughout these times of social distancing. This includes: actively participating in social distancing, cleaning ourselves, and giving our best efforts to remain home. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that everyone takes these guidelines too seriously. I've seen plenty of people online going about their normal hangouts with large groups of friends, rather than distancing themselves to slow the spread. Weeks ago, we were struggling to perform tests. Now it seems that the FDA approval time has been expedited for the purpose of introducing faster COVID-19 testing kits as well as possible vaccines. There seems to be a lot of de-regulation occurring to allow businesses to survive in such a harsh time. Simply put, if no-ones out there spending money, the economy will not grow (or will have very little growth). As a student, I find myself more stressed out than usual since I'm locked

Today, rather than a deep analysis of a new subject, we were instead instructed to find two images of classical Greece Architecture. A subject which I truly enjoy learning about. Those images are posted directly below:  First Image: The Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens Likely one of the most recognizable structures in Greece would be the massive structure located on the hill of Acropolis, The Parthenon. This structure was likely created over an eleven-year span (447 BC - 438 BC) and was dedicated to the goddess Athena. The structure, incredibly after over 2,000 years still remains intact; though somewhat damaged from the years of exposure it's been put through. It is also important to realize that this structure stood as a symbol for the religions which the Greeks practiced since it represented one of their goddesses'. Through the wars, fires, looters, weather, and use it has undergone, it is a true culmination of the Greek's strong engineering ability that the
