A big step away from what we had done previously regarding data on population; we now study religion. We took plenty of notes today, though we only covered three religions (there is 5 major ones we will study). Those religions looked at today were: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism. Each one of these religions has over one billion practicing patrons though Christianity has the most at over 2 Billion! Or about 1/3 of the entire worlds population. Needless to say, Christianity is a big deal around the world. Islam and Hinduism are both unique as well though they tend to be more populous in terms of the eastern hemisphere (like Asia).

At the end of class I asked Mr. Schick how violent certain religions are and put simply (if there even is one) it is mostly radicals that are violent when it comes to their religion. After a short (and peaceful) back and forth I was able to get a better grip on how these religions work. I hope to get a better understanding of all these religions by the end of this (apparently) short section of our class. 

Lastly, we were supposed to be tested on our knowledge on this subject very soon but that was totally disregarded (thankfully) because it was too premature. 

Till Next Time! The Date is November 20th 2019.

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
