Final Questions Issues in Contemporary Art and Art Criticism
As I read the final questions for my Contemporary Art and Art Criticism class I pulled my hoodie over my ponytail, pushed my statistic notes across the living room floor, and imagined a critique. A tall man sitting erect on the edge of a leather coach and his combed hair bouncing when he moves his hands. His pastel colored shirt is tucked into a pair of pressed khaki pants. I look at my own appearance: I studied too late last night; I am wearing the same stuff I wore yesterday because everything else is packed in moving boxes; and my nose is running from allergies. No one would take me serious if I was a critique. I read the question again. My professor was not asking if I thought that I was a critique, but to explain the nature and purpose of Criticism as a discipline. I reflected not simply on how I view art differently after my class, but how I view myself. In the best way that I can articulate I feel that the purpose of criticism is to overcome the fear of stating something you believe in that you are brave enough to change when you understand more.
The reason for studying a discipline is not to obtain a title, but to explore. I take mathematics not because I am mathematician but to learn mathematics. I am in biology not because I am a biologist but to learn biology. I am taking art criticism not because I am a critic but to learn criticism. The nature of criticism, just like other disciplines, should be driven by a desire to expand ones knowledge and not in the vain pursuit of a title.
I believe that criticism is a discipline that benefits the individual more than the observer. I thought about what a critique is. He does not only look like a critique, but he has educated himself, learned to articulate his responses, and above all remains confident in himself even when he loses confidence in his response. This semester I have come to the conclusion that learning to critique an art work is more than simply taking the fragments of knowledge I know and pasting them together for publication. As I take art criticism I have learned to reform my opinion when I question my understanding and perspective but I no longer feel that I have to question my self value to reform an onion. I have benefited the most from learning about art criticism.
I no longer approach the connection between the culture of Zion and postmodernism as if I were in a balancing act. Imagine a balance: a feather on one side of the balance and boulder on the other side. The balancing point has to shift between the two items until it finds balance. This image helped me to see that before I can balance two items, such as a feather and a boulder, I have to full understand the two individual objects and their relationship before I can put them in balance. My attempts to balance religious and artistic beliefs were fruitless not because of my lack in effort but because I do not fully understand the two items I was trying to balance. As I have taken more time to discover what postmodernism and the culture of Zion are I am making progress into knowing how I can have both of them in a balanced life. I now approach the connection between the culture of Zion and postmodernism as a discover; two subjects that I image could take more than a life time to explore.
I never imagined that a Visual Arts minor would complement an Early Childhood Education major so well. When I picked Visual Arts as my minor I chose it because I wanted to do something I found relaxing, and something that I know would not require me to cram in useless information the night before an examine. It was when I started helping in a Kindergarten classroom that I began to value the simple things I learned in art, such as there are more mediums than crayons that I can have in my classroom, to more valuable concepts such as how to discuses and recognize visual stereo types in a reading books, or streaming in from the media. The connection between my personal aspirations as an artist and an educator seems to enhance each other. As I study theories on how to engage children in education my own curiosity takes control. Within the safe elements of art I can be daring enough to explore the world and myself. As I see how art has helped me to discover more I put forth extra effort to provide the same opportunities for my students.
Before I began to write out a few important ideas, experiences, insights that I gained while studying contemporary art and artists I looked through my thought journal.
The black silhouette of Kara Walker made me to explore the important idea of imagination and fear. While I looked at Kara Walker I realized that no one else saw the same image that I saw in her work. I took my own experiences and images and put them into the blank silhouettes, filling the scenes with life and color. Her images seem so familuar and entirely unkown. I made this image as a parallel to how I handle the fear of the unknown. When I am afraid of the future it is because I have filled what I can not see with fears that I am familiar with.
One experience that helped me to grow the most in the class was my presentation of my artist. I felt unbelievably self-conscious of presenting my artwork in front of the class. Even during the last week I do not think I would even dare to sketch a house on the white board in front of all the students. Although I still feel pressure that my art work will never be presentable the experience of showing a simple chalk in front of the class helped me to take baby steps of actually sharing my artwork.
An insight that I learned in class that I reread in my thought journal was “the arts encounter the other and challenge the ego of what we know.” I liked this thought for multiple reasons. One reason I liked the thought so much is because it brought up the idea that I develop my the ego is from facts that I think I know, my experiences, and what I am comfortable with. The other thought that I liked was that the arts challenge my ego. That means that art makes me question facts that I think I know, my experiences, and what I am comfortable with. I like the idea of questioning what I know to discover and continue to discover the world and truth around me.
Return my book: I returned you book
I finished Assignment 45: Reread your favorite book from the 5th grade.
I remember my 5th grade teacher read A Year Down Yonder to my class, and I loved it so much that I read the series later that year. After I finished finals on Monday I did one of my favorite things. I went to the gym sat on one of the stationary bikes and reread the book A Year Down Yonder from cover to cover. It seemed a lot shorter than I remembered it in 5th grade, but I had forgotten most of the stories. I can not believe that I forgot about the naked women running out of the house with a snake wrapped around her! How unforgettable is that?
After considering my work, attendance, participation, writing, reading I would give myself an A in this class. I worked at my personal project, and thought about what I wanted to do until my head almost hurt. Not only did I try things this semester that I never thought I would be brave enough to do but I thought about concepts and ideas that I had never dared to think. I finished the reading, and tried to keep up with all of the writings. I can not remember missing class. I really tried hard to not only participate in the group discussions. Most of all I know that I learned and worked in the class because I found what I was learning in Art creeping into my other subjects, Sunday school lessons, and the very way that I think and perceive the world. I enjoyed the class immensely and would honestly say I feel that I deserve an A.

Traders entering foreign territory were exposed to numerous natural and cultural hazards. In addition to facing harsh traveling conditions, they might be attacked by brigands or find themselves in places where they did not know the local languages or customs and were subject to territory-specific laws under which they would find no protection.
Hong Kong also serves as an entrepôt for trade between Asian economies not including China.
Elongated state: An elongated or attenuated nation such as Chile makes for difficult governance of peripheral areas in the north and south from the central capital region near Santiago. Vietnam is also an elongated state.
Fragmented state: Nations such as Indonesia, which is composed of more than 13,000 islands, are known as fragmented or archipelagic states (because they are composed of archipelagos). It is difficult to govern such a country composed of islands (and more than 200 million people).
Denmark and the Philippines are also archipelagic countries separated by water.
Prorupt state: A protruded or panhandle country such as Myanmar (Burma) or Thailand have an extended arm of territory. Like an elongated state, the panhandle complicates that shape of the territory. The state of Oklahoma also has a prominent panhandle.
Comopact state: A compact state with a circular shape is the easiest to manage. Belgium is an excellent example because of the cultural division between Flanders and Wallonia within Belgium. The compact form of Belgium has helped to keep the country together. Compact states are also easier to defend than states of other shapes.
Abroigine: are those people regarded as indigenous to the Australian continent.
Australian Aborigines have been categorised and labelled over time. Her lecture offered a new perspective on the terms urban, traditional and of Indigenous descent as used to define and categorise Aboriginal Australians. She said:
"Not only are these categories inappropriate, they serve to divide us. [...] Government’s insistence on categorising us with modern words like ‘urban’, ‘traditional’ and ‘of Aboriginal descent’ are really only replacing old terms ‘half-caste’ and ‘full-blood’ – based on our colouring.[6]"

Tsunamis: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices), landslides and other mass movements, meteorite ocean impacts or similar impact events, and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami

Atoll: is an island (or islands) of coral that encircles a lagoon partially or completely.

A very famous atoll is Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean due to its use as a testing ground for atomic and hydrogen bomb tests
Archipelago: islands or island group is a chain or cluster of islands Archipelagos are often volcanic, forming along island arcs generated by subduction zones or hotspots, but there are many other processes involved in their construction, including erosion, deposition and land elevation.

The seventeenth century Dutch writer, Jacobus Revius, described our involvement in Jesus’ sufferings and death in the following powerful lines, under the title, “He Bore Our Anguish” (translated from the Dutch by Charles D. Tate, Jr., associate professor of English at Brigham Young University; published in BYU Studies, vol. 15, no. 1, Autumn 1974, 103; also found in our volume on the Gospels entitled Verse by Verse: The Four Gospels, published by Deseret Book):
It was not the Jews, Lord Jesus, who crucified you,
Nor the traitors who dragged you to the law,
Nor the contemptuous who spit in your face,
Nor those who bound you, and hit you full of wounds,
And it was not the soldiers who with evil hands
Lifted up the reed or the hammer,
Or set that cursed wood on Golgotha,
Or cast lots and gambled for your robe;
It is I, O Lord, it is I who have done it,
I am the heavy tree that overburdened you,
I am the rough bands that bound you,
The nail, the spear, and the cords that whipped you,
The bloodied crown that tore your head:
All this happened, alas! for my sins.
It was not the Jews, Lord Jesus, who crucified you,
Nor the traitors who dragged you to the law,
Nor the contemptuous who spit in your face,
Nor those who bound you, and hit you full of wounds,
And it was not the soldiers who with evil hands
Lifted up the reed or the hammer,
Or set that cursed wood on Golgotha,
Or cast lots and gambled for your robe;
It is I, O Lord, it is I who have done it,
I am the heavy tree that overburdened you,
I am the rough bands that bound you,
The nail, the spear, and the cords that whipped you,
The bloodied crown that tore your head:
All this happened, alas! for my sins.

C. S. Lewis, from Mere Christianity (pp. 54-56), view of Jesus Christ
[God] selected one particular people and spent several centuries hammering into their heads the sort of God he was—that there was only one of Him and that He cared about right conduct. Those people were the Jews, and the Old Testament gives an account of the hammering process.
Then comes the real shock. Among these Jews there suddenly turns up a man who goes about talking as if He was God. He claims to forgive sins. He says He has always existed. He says He is coming to judge the world at the end of time. Now let us get this clear. Among Pantheists, like the Indians, anyone might say that he was a part of God, or one with God: there would be nothing very odd about it. But this man, since He was a Jew, could not mean that kind of God. God, in their language, meant the Being outside the world Who had made it and was infinitely different from anything else. And when you have grasped that, you will see that what this man said was, quite simply, the most shocking thing that has ever been uttered by human lips.
"One part of the claim tends to slip past us unnoticed because we have heard it so often that we no longer see what it amounts to. I mean the claim to forgive sins: any sins. Now unless the speaker is God, this is really so preposterous as to be comic. We can all understand how a man forgives offences against himself. You tread on my toe and I forgive you, you steal my money and I forgive you. But what should we make of a man, himself unrobbed and untrodden on, who announced that he forgave you for treading on other men's toes and stealing other men's money? Asinine fatuity is the kindest description we should give of his conduct. Yet this is what Jesus did. He told people that their sins were forgiven, and never waited to consult all the other people whom their sins had undoubtedly injured. He unhesitatingly behaved as if He was the party chiefly concerned, the person chiefly offended in all offences. This makes sense only if He really was the God whose laws are broken and whose love is wounded in every sin. In the mouth of any speaker who is not God, these words would imply what I can only regard as a silliness and conceit unrivalled by any other character in history.
Yet (and this is the strange, significant thing) even His enemies, when they read the Gospels, do not usually get the impression of silliness and conceit. Still less do unprejudiced readers. Christ says that He is "humble and meek" and we believe Him; not noticing that, if He were merely a man, humility and meekness are the very last characteristics we could attribute to some of His sayings.
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Christ says that He is "humble and meek" and we believe Him; not noticing that, if He were merely a man, humility and meekness are the very last characteristics we could attribute to some of His sayings.
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Stat final
Joy Prior
STAT 121 Sec 045
State: Is there a significant difference between the mean value of the amount of pictures on Facebook that Joy Prior’s female and male Facebook friends publish on their profile pictures?
Plan: This is an observational study, and the observations were collected from Facebook an online social network. The test procedure will be a two sample t-test that will compare the parameter of the mean values of the amount of pictures the male members on Joy Prior’s Facebook friend list, and amount of pictures the female members on Joy Prior’s Facebook friend list post on their profile page. The null hypothesis is that there will not be a significant difference between the means. The alternative hypothesis is that there will be a significant difference between the means. The hypothesis aim to discover if there is a significant difference between the mean value of the amount of pictures on Facebook that Joy Prior’s female and male Facebook friends publish on their profile pictures? The set level of significance for this study is alpha equals .05.
One of the limitations of the study could be in the collection of the Simple Random Sample. The sample was taken from a list of all of Joy Prior’s Facebook friends assigned a number 001 to 635 in alphabetical order. To create a random sample the data was collected from 104 Facebook profile pages chosen by a list of random numbers taken from Table C (the random number table provided on blackboard). Another limitation of the study was that the sample was only taken from Joy Prior’s Facebook friend list. This study could not be used as a generalization for all members of Facebook, but could simply be used to describe the specific parameter. One observation of the population of Joy Prior’s Facebook friends is that the majority appeared to be in their early to mid-twenties and did not accurately represent the entire social network. It is important to recognize that there was a difference in the sample size of males and females. The number of females sampled was 71, but the number of males sampled was 33. This disturbance in the data collection was possibly due to the observation that Joy Prior has more female Facebook friends than male Facebook friends.
Solve:
Male
Female
The conditions of the two sample t test included a simple random sample and normality in the sample. As mentioned before one of the limitations of the study was the numbers assigned to the population in alphabetical order and not randomly. The data was collected by a sample using random numbers. There was no normality in the distribution. Both populations were right skewed. According to the inner quartile range and the 1.5*IQR rule the male sample did not have any apparent outliers but the female sample has 3 apparent outliers. Under this situation the conditions are not meet.
The calculated sample statistics:
Male
N=33
Mean= 268.0606
Std. Dev.= 226.70271
Variance= 51394.12

Computer calculated degrees of freedom= 102
Computer calculated std. err.=70.344124
Computer calculated sample mean= -127.78446
Degrees of Freedom= 32
P-value from Table C= .05< p-value < .10
Conclude: Because the .05< p-value < .10 is greater than the set alpha of .05 we can fail-to-reject Ho and concluded that there is not a significant difference between the mean values of the pictures males post on their profile page and the mean value of pictures females post on their profile page taken from the members of Joy Prior’s Facebook friend list.
Implications: The implications of this data can be used for the organization Facebook to know which features, specifically the tagging pictures, are being used by which group of consumers. While collecting the data it appeared that there are other variables that would influence the amount of pictures someone has on their profile page more directly than male or female. Some example hypotheses are the person’s age, the amount of friends, or the hours someone spends of Facebook. The actions resulting from the study is that Joy Prior will no longer have a stereotype of the amount of pictures females and males publish on their profile pictures.

Reading 300 pages
To fulfill the credit for the 300 page of extra reading I read 500 pages from Verse by Verse, The Four Gospels by Daniel Kelly Ogden. Throughout the semester I followed along in the book with what was being read and discussed in class. Reading the commentary prior to class helped me to be mentally prepared for the discussions and my perspective of what it means to study the scriptures has been altered.
My awareness during class was enhanced if I read the commentary prior to the class discussions. My professor Ogden wrote Verse by Verse, The Four Gospels and some days his lectures seemed to quote his book verbatim. This never bothered me, because it helped me to remember what I had read the night prior and the lessons I learned from the written text were parallel but not identical to what I learned from the lectures. When I was prepared with my reading for class the stories of Jesus, his friends, and the parables all became clearer.
With each semester at BYU I have to change what it means to me to study the scriptures. I can still remember my seminary bookmark I would check every day after my 10 minutes of reading. It only took me one exam to realize that the BYU religion classes were not equal to seminary. As I got asked more questions by friends and family I realized that not even BYU religion classes can prepare me for the vigorous attacks but the spirit can. The spirit seems to be the revealer of truth, and the promptings that I have felt while I read specific commentary has brought me more light and knowledge. I have not believed that reading 10 minutes a day is enough but I used to limit my study time by only reviewing the bible dictionary and foot notes when I have a question. Reading has helped me believe that the culture, language, and context of the scriptures are as a part of the truth found in the scriptures as the morals. To amplify my scripture study I should continue to add these facts or truths to my study material.
Not only did the commentary enhance my understanding of the class, but it also helped me to refine my scripture studying. I was grateful for the opportunity to read the commentary this semester. Unlike my geology text I never plan to sale my Verse by Verse, The Four Gospels back to the book store, but I do not think that I will be able to simply let it sit in my library. I have already recommended it to a friend who wants to read it this summer and my mom wants to read it in the fall.

Review of Volunteering with TOPS
I have worked in Preschools before, but there was a remarkable difference between how I worked with children before and now. Not only did my confidence blossom, but I was able to practice several things I learned in class. It was almost insane to see how much teaching happens when I was simply talking with the students. When I was in the classroom it became clear how varied kindergarteners are in their abilities. The final lesson I learned was that the lesson plan should cater to my and the student’s attention spans, and abilities.
When I was talking to the students on topics they were interested in they could remember what was being taught more clearly. I really did try to put DAP ideals into practice, particularly by drawing “on children’s own interests and introduce children to thing likely to interest them,” (p. 21). For example I will always remember when we were talking about infinity. As we talked about infinity I mentioned how the sign for infinity is a sideways number 8. Then we talked about how the number one is represented by a 1 image, and we went through a list of numbers. Although the children were interested in the idea of infinity I did not think that they were paying attention to what I was explaining. The next week when I was at the writing center I overheard one of the boys I had explained infinity to last week draw a picture of a sideways 8 and tell his friend that it was the sign for infinity.
As I began to talk with the students I was able to see how varied they were in their abilities. Before, during, and after every writing activity all I could think was how “children’s skills vary and they will need different levels of support,” (p. 19). It took a lot of concentration to notice all of the varied levels of ability, but it also took a lot of thought to know how to support the entire student’s in the various levels of ability. It took me a few weeks to notice that one of the little boys never actually talked. Sometimes he would respond when I asked him a direct question, but the majority of the time he worked quietly. Although he finished his work I realized that I was responsible for helping him to develop social abilities as well. I made a point to ask him questions about his sentences, and next time I think that I will try and have him ask and answer questions with a student next to him. I was only able to learn this as I began to spend more time talking and working with the students.
Some days were easier than other days to get a topic of conversation going. One day the assignment was to write two sentences about a dinosaur. Most of my time was spent breaking down the names of the dinosaurs into one or two letter sections. The length of the names intimidated most of the students and instead of wanting to write the name they would just put their pencil down. This day I was so thankful that the group sections were only 15 minutes long. I know that kindergarteners can often only work at a station for 15 to 20 minutes, but in all honesty I do not think that I could have worked another 15 to 20 minutes on dinosaur names (p. 204). I had no idea how to pronounce most of the names and wished that I could have looked some of the pronunciation up. It was a really short section, but I was unprepared for it. The few minutes that I was working in each group was stressful to me, because I did not know what I was doing. The curriculum I design does not only have to capture the attention of the students, but I have to take the responsibility to know and recognize the material.
Overall it was a great learning experience and it helped me to apply learning how to talk with students, recognize different levels of development, and how to organize a lesson plan.

Week 1 January 25, 2011
I went to the Kindergarten for the first time this week. It was so much fun. I forgot how much I enjoy working with children. For the hour I was responsible for the activity about the letter H, and the H sound. We were supposed to sing a song that was about Hot Cakes, but I could not really figure out the tune, and the kids really did not care too much about the song. Instead we really tried to list of lots of words with the H sound while we played Hot potato. Some of the children were thinking of words that I would not have even imagined that they would know, and other groups needed a little help to think of more than just the word hot or hotcake or hot potato. They were all really well behaved, and were really interested in the game. I got better at getting the students to think of H words and to interact in the game, but I struggled with developing a pattern to the short activity that went well with the timing of the session. Supposable each of the sessions was fifteen minutes but in my own opinion I think that the timings were all different and that they really did not stick strictly to a fifteen minute season, but then again I could be wrong.
Week 2 February 1, 2011
Writing sentences was like pulling teeth. Two sentences, that was all, and we sat there a looked at those papers for the longest time. No I take that back, most of the kids were not even looking at their paper; most of them were trying to look at what everyone else in the classroom was doing. The amount of attention each group gave varied from group to group, but it was generally the same low level of interest. In theory they could color a picture after they wrote two sentences, but most of them sat down and colored first. I felt completely lost. All of the confidence that I felt from the first week was completely gone, and I was at ground zero. I could have possibly been feeling in the negatives.
I tried to think of ways to make writing two sentences interesting. We began by listing off words that the kids knew, we talked about some of the words on the word wall, and I wrote out a few model sentences. I like that by the end most all of the children had written two sentences, and a few had written only one. That really should not have been my goal though. I think that if I had spent less time worrying about trying to get everyone to write two sentences and more time trying to encourage and help the children learn I would have been more successful.
Week 3 February 8, 2011
It was one of those days when I wonder exactly what I am doing with my life. Overwhelmed by the idea that what I was doing means nothing and that I really made the wrong care choice I went to the Kindergarten today. When I got there Dan looked up at me and said, “Oh! There you are. I was worried that you would not be here and I not help me spell Dinosaur.” It made me laugh a little inside, but I was happy. If no one else me being there today mattered to Dan simply because he was afraid of spelling the word Dinosaur.
Week 4 February 15, 2011
Today we wrote one sentence and then we could draw a picture about that sentence. MY minor is visual arts, and I spend a lot of time drawing and painting and working with various artistic mediums. I never realized what great minor this would be with Early Childhood Education. After writing a sentence we all started to draw pictures about what we had written our sentence on. My picture was of me jumping on the tramp.
One of the students brought up the grim reaper; I know, a little out there. Most of the children did not know what a grim reaper is, and so I drew a picture of one. I felt a little satanic, but as soon as the children saw a picture of a grim reaper they could recognize it and started to talk about Halloween. I was really glad that I did not excuse the conversation. I was also glad that I could and did draw a grim reaper, because it helped them to connect the word with a mental image.
Last week one of the children asked about the number infinity. We talked a little about it, and then I drew an infinity sign. I told them how it is the number 8 on its side. Today when I was in the classroom Hugh brought up the word infinity, and then he drew a number 8 on its side. I was a little shocked and pretty impressed that he remembered the sing for infinity.
Week 5 February 22, 2011
In one of the groups none of the students wanted to write a sentence, but we were at the writing center. I asked Dan if he could write a sentence, and tried to help him think of things that he could write about. He threw his pencil, and the teacher came over and told him that if he did not write his sentences he could not move onto the next station. I tried to think of a creative way to encourage him to start writing. We started with one word at a time. We started to play a kind of game. I would close my eyes and count to five and when I opened my eyes I wanted to see the word like on his paper. We played this game for an entire sentence. I think that it worked ok, because it broke the difficult task of writing two sentences into small steps. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by having to write two sentences Dan concentrated on one word at a time. After a while I could stop counting and say, “I am going to look at Olivia’s sentences and when I look back I want to see another word on your paper,” Dan then started to write by himself, and once he finished I was so relieved.
I am so much more confident when I work with the students now, and I am not as afraid to stop and think. I know that sounds a little weird, but I really did struggle when I first started to stop and think. I felt pressured to just keep on going and to just do, do, do. Now though I think that my hour goes better when I pause, think about what is going on, and then try again.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by having to write two sentences Dan concentrated on one word at a time. After a while I could stop counting and say, “I am going to look at Olivia’s sentences and when I look back I want to see another word on your paper,” Dan then started to write by himself, and once he finished I was so relieved.
I am so much more confident when I work with the students now, and I am not as afraid to stop and think. I know that sounds a little weird, but I really did struggle when I first started to stop and think. I felt pressured to just keep on going and to just do, do, do. Now though I think that my hour goes better when I pause, think about what is going on, and then try again.

SFL golden nugget #4
Joy Prior
Golden nugget #4
The golden nugget that I learned from “Use your words” was about the third pillar of DAP. That I need to understand the social, and cultural context of the children I am teaching. I learned while I was reading that this third important concept is so vital, and apart of the development of a child that even if I try to ignore the family background of the students I am teaching it will work it’s way into the classroom.
In the book the author mentions a story about a discussion the children had after reading a story about families. One of the students states how much he hates his family, and his father. The teacher did what was DAP appropriate. She asked the student why he felt that way, and then welcomed discussion from the other students. After that she read a book about emotions and encouraged the children to share their emotions. I learned a lot from her example, but what I will remember is that even if this teacher had tried to ignore the context of her student’s family the child would have been thinking about his family. I realized that why it is important to incorporate the family context of my students is not because I am trying to be polite or nice, but because their family context will change their social and emotional, mental, and even physical development.
I imagined the little boy sitting on the rug, and the most obvious developmental area that was affecting him was emotional. He was talking about emotions, and the simple mentioning of his family stirred up his emotions. Simply reading the story caused even me to feel emotions. The emotions that the students felt while reading the book in the classroom was directly connected to their family context. It would be impossible to ignore the emotional connection that the students had to their families. Realizing that the emotional development of my students began years ago in their living rooms and at their kitchen tables of their homes is not simply polite. The reality that families are a vital part of the emotional development of my students has changed my perspective on teaching.
It also affected the boys mental development. Something that emotional would have distracted him from his studies and the lesson that the teacher had prepaid. It would probably not only distract that boy, but the entire class. The little girl talking about her dad buying her a new bike demonstrates that she would not have listened to the teacher if the teacher had gone straight from the story to talking about letters. Instead I believe that she would have been thinking about her family. The emotions, thoughts, and attention my students spend thinking about their families is probably more time than I can assume. As a teacher I need to be sensitive to times when such the social and cultural context of my students comes into the classroom, because if I attempt to plug through to my scheduled lesson plan some of my students will not be able to pay attention. As an educator I need to acknowledge that some of my students will be thinking about home while they are in the classroom and their distracted concentration will influence how much attention they will give to my lesson plans.
Although this story did not demostrate it the social context of my student family will influence their physical development. I have been able to realize this in the obvious examples such as cocain babies. This time when I thought about the social context influencing my student’s physical development I realized that if the family exersises at home that student will be physically effected.
I have to be fully invested in the culture my students come from because it influences their social and emotional, educational, and physical development as much as the individual child, and what I know about general child development influences my students. This story illustrated to me that the as a teacher I do not simply consider the family and social context of my students because I am trying to be polite. I will be able to apply this golden nugget to my classroom.

Geog Benua
Joy Prior
Geog 120H
Otterstrom
Geography 120 H Benua
Benua# is a hypothetical continent (assume there are no other continents or countries) with geographical characteristics similar to those found throughout this world. Your assignment is to analyze and synthesize all of the available data in order that you can then use that information in making valid geo-political analysis. You are encouraged to work together in groups to analyze the material but you must write and submit your own answers.
A. Go to http://www.geog.byu.edu/faculty/benua/
B. Analyze the various maps and tables. Try different combinations. For example: combine the resource and ethnicities map to see what minority groups might be sitting atop precious resources.
Answer the following questions. Typed responses are encouraged. Be sure to use correct geographic terminology!
1. Which country is most likely to experience balkanization? Why?
I believe that the country most likely to experience balkanization is Kome. Geographically Kome is a fragmented country. It is composed of three different islands near each other. Each island has a dominate ethnicity although on the most northern island there are a few areas were the other two minority ethnicities are present, but not dominate. The southern island has a more tropical agriculture than the rest of the country while the northern two islands share a subtropical agriculture. These islands also have large mountain ranges that make convenient trade more difficult. There are no major transportation roads or canals or rivers that cross between the three islands. The islands population is concentrated on the coastal regions. There is one major city on each island and all of the cities are facing away from each other and towards other countries.
2. Which countries are landlocked. What could these countries do to have access to the sea.
Sopka and Timah are both landlocked. To gain access to the sea Timah could travel on the exotic river that runs through Pula. Timah could also travel on the river that crosses Oro and Nagy. Both Oro and Nagy have more rivers and consequently water would not be as dramatic of a natural resource to the Nagy and Oro people as water would be a dramatic natural resource for the people in Pula, because Pula only has one river and the rest of the country is a desert. This would make is so that Timah would probably have an easier time traveling through Nagy than through Pula. After looking at the Timah cities it would also seem wise to use the river that runs through Oro and Nagy because there are multiple cities along the river route that the Timah people could trade with before reaching the sea port. The country of Sopka could also travel along rivers to reach the sea. There is a river that originates in Sopka that goes through Nagy that Sopka could travel across.
3. Assuming that the wind over Benua flows from east to west, explain why Pula is mostly desert.
Pula is mostly desert because the rain falls on the east side of the mountain range. It would then be a rain shadow desert because the mountain range in Oro and Timah create a barricade for the rain clouds. After looking at a map of the major rivers it appears that the runoff for these mountain ranges is also on the east side, because besides the one exotic river in Pula the remaining rivers from the mountain runoff are one the eastern side of the mountains in Timah and Oro.
4. Based on the transportation layer, which countries are likely to form an economic union? Why?
The three countries Zeit, Lale, and Weizen will form an economic union. Although the country Lale is an island it is just off the coast of Weizen, and Zeit. There are major roads in all three of these countries. One of the major roads travels near the boarder of Zeit and Weizen. Along this road there are several major cities. There is a concentration of people for all three of these countries at the point were all three of the countries boarders. The countries have unique natural resources that would benefit each other. Zeit has an abundance of petroleum, a little Iron, and some coal. Weizen has an abundance of coal, some tin, a little gold, iron, and also bauxite. While Lale has coal and petroleum. Each of the three countries has unique agriculture. Weizen has a prairie, and Lale has Dairy, while Zeit is mostly nomadic herding. Because Lale and Weizen have more agricultural benefits, but they are depended on the natural recourses of petroleum in Zeit the countries can trade food and livestock for petroleum between one another.
5. What country is involved for mono-crop production?
Mangkut is a island to the south. This island has only tropical agriculture, and no other agriculture. It’s boundaries do not spread far south or high north and so the longitude and latitude is relatively condensed so the island does not have that as variation. Although there are a few higher areas in Mangkut there the island is not overwhelmed by mountain ranges and attitude variation giving most of the island the same climate. According to the climate legend the climate on Mangkut is completely Tropical Rainforest, and there would be mono-crop production due to the single climate, agriculture, and relatively limited latitude and longitude variation.
6. Calculate the agricultural density of Nagy. What does this agricultural density mean for Nagy?
The agricultural density of Nagy is rather high. According to the agricultural of Benua download data is 43%. The fertilizer amount is 19,773,802 is the second highest, in the continent of Benua. It also has 45,970 of sq. miles of irrigation. The urban population in Nagy is 73% which is exceptionally high. The agricultural density is about the number of farms in a given area over the amount of agricultural land within that area. That means that just under ¾ of the population is living on just about 2/5 of the land. This high of an agricultural density could be devastation for the nation of Nagy, because most of the population lives on a limited area and they are using up the natural resources as the farm and harvest yearly. The entire population of Nagy is 226,701 and fortunately the country is rather large with 6,320,021 square km of land. The population density is 28 people per sp. Km. Compared to the other countries this population density is not drastically high, but sense most of the population lives in urban and farm land that means that a lot of land is needed to support the farmers of the country. The entire northern part is covered in mountains, and the little arable land the nation has for farming is filled with just under ¾ of the nation’s population. The country is running the risk of over expending their soil and agricultural ruin.
7. Which country most likely has swidden agriculturalists? Why?
Swidden or slash and burn is practiced mainly in tropical regions. Reen, Mangkut, Agni, and parts large parts of Oro, Carvao and Kome are tropical climate regions. According to the agricultural chart all of these countries have a few areas for tropical agriculture, but agni and mangkut are entirely depended on tropical agriculture. Mangkut has a much higher population to support than Agni. More so the agricultural download data sates that Mangkut has 207,000 sq miles of irrigation and 1,660,863 fertilizers despite the fact that only 27% of the land is arable. Roughly 33% of the population of Mangkut lives in urban. That is a lot of people trying to live in a tropical climate, and farm a small area of land. With the large amount of fertilizers and extensive sq miles of irrigation I assume that this country has no fear of imposing the influence of humans on their farms and would be the most likely country to use swidden or slash and burn.
8. What country has an exotic river running through it?
Pula has only one river running through it, and this is an exotic river that originates in the mountain ranges surrounding the country. It has head waters in North in Zeit, a head waters towards the east in Timah, and at the southern end a head water in Oro. This is an ideal example of an exotic river.
9. Which river basin would be most contentious? Why?
Something that would contribute to a contentious river basin is a valuable river. Although there are lots of rivers there are only a few that are considered Navigatable Rivers. One of these major rivers runs along the boarder of Oro and Carvao. This river runs into a direct sea port, and at the sea port there is a major network of cities and road ways for both countries. According to the politics of Benua download data the political corruption index of Carvao is 6.7 and Oro is 7.2 which puts both countries in the top five highest corrupted countries in Benua. The political stability of Carvao is -.35 and for Oro -.04 which puts both countries in the lowest 7 most stable countries in Benua. Both countries have distinct ethnicities Oro major ethnicity O and Carvao being C, but in the city 107 which is in the river basin I am describing there is a mixture of the two ethnicities. With Oro’s O population being the dominate and Carvao’s C population being the minority. Along this river there is the high population. The ethnic, political unrest, possible use of trade and transportation along the river, mixed with large amount of people living in the area makes this river basin a possible contentious river basin.
10. Weizen troops have just invaded Pula. Why is there a war between the two countries? Who else might get involved? Who will be victorious? What does Weizen hope the outcome of the war will be?
Up until this point Zeit and Weizen have been political friend in their own form of the UN. The relationship between Zeit and Weizen has been developed Weizen’s need for oil. As the country of Weizen has developed so has their need for oil. Currently though the country of Zeit has been having an increase in their political unrest and the country is on the edge of civil war. Zeit has been experiencing unrest because of the two different emerging cultures. The first being the ethnic Z which lives mostly in the densely populated coastal region and the second group the minority population in the east with the ethnicity I in that practices nomadic herding lifestyles. In short this two groups are have been causing political unrest in the country Zeit. Due to the political unrest in Zeit the amount of petroleum being shipped to the country of Weizen has dramatically decreased. Weizen still exports a large amount of its supplies to the country of Zeit and does not want to decrease economic relations with this country, but the country does need oil. Due to Weizen’s need for oil the country has decided to invade the country of Pula in an attempt to obtain more petroleum.
Lale is also a part of Weizen’s economic and political organization and because of these connections this country is sending financial support as well as technology to help Weizen with the war.
Wiezen will win the war. Weizen has a larger population than Pula by over 10,000 pc which means more troops and more people to support those troops. Weizen also has a greater economic stability over Pula’s because Weizen has %15.40 imports and %17.2 exports compared to Pula’s %1.3 imports and %1.6 exports. This not only means more economical power, but it means that there are more countries depending on Weizen’s imports and exports than Pula’s imports or exports.
The country that will be victorious will Weizen, and the country will get what they wanted, petroleum. This was the country Weizen’s intent when attaching the country. In short the country of Pula will turn over cities 78, 5, and 93 and their surrounding areas to the country of Weizen. Although Weizen want’s the petroleum they do not want to take the population of Pula on as a “burden,” because most of the country of Pula’s population is on the far eastern side of the country Weizen would like to avoid taking on as many of Pula’s citizens as possible. In short the country of Weizen will only try to obtain these cities mentioned (which are close to the petroleum) and avoid taking responsibility for the other cities.
11. Which country is a likely candidate to have been colonized? Who would have colonized it? Why?
The country of Reen colonized an area that was once apart of the country of Mangkut. The island shared between Reen and Mangkut was once owned entirely by Mangkut. The main population of Mangkut is M and the main population of Reen is R. On the island shared between these two countries both of these ethnicities are present, but the R ethnicity does not cover the majority of the population and remains a minority in the western side of the island. There is also one major city on this island which is next to a copper resource. The Reen people needed copper and so they began to colonize the island that once belonged to Mangkut in order to obtain the copper in this particular area. As the Reen people began to colonize the island for copper the R ethnicity began to move into the island and after some political disputes half of this island is now a part of the country of Reen.
12. If there were a Cold War in Benua, what two countries would be the superpowers and what countries would be on each side? Why?
The cold war would be between Nagy and Weizen. These populations have high exports and imports; which would give both countries great international and economic power. Weizen’s imports %15.4 and exports %17.2; it is also in an economical agreement with Lale with exports %15.8 and imports %15.6; and despite Zeit’s current political unrest Weizen is one of the countries economical allies. The country of Zeit imports %7.3 and exports %8. In contrast the country of Nagy imports %46.5 and exports 38.70.56 (I am not sure what typing error occurred here) The two countries of Nagy and Weizen both have substantial economic control in Benua.
The Weizen and Nagy countries both have distinctly different ethnicities, and that would contribute to cultural practice and ideal beliefs. Although there are two distinct ethnicities that run along the countries boarder there is no geographical reason. For example there is not a large mountain range that divides the two countries. Infect the countries share a boarder that is mostly flat, and has the same agricultural crops. Usually when there is not a large physical barrier between countries the two ethnicities will merge. Yet, the two ethnicities of Weizen and NAgy have not merged and remain along the political boarder indicating to me that there is a political reason or turmoil that keeps the two ethnicities from merging together.
Both countries have relatively equal natural resources. The arable land for Weizen is 48% while the arable land for Nagy is 43%. Weizen Oil 776, Nagy oil 585. Iron-ore weizen 40,579, Nagy Iron-ore 74,017; coal Weizen 431,455, coal Nagy 88,295; Bauxite Weizen 10,398, Bauxite Nagy 0. This abundance of natural resources has lead both countries to have higher populations Weizen over 180,000 and Nagy has over 226,000. Not to mention technological growth and infrastructure. Weizen is in the top ten for the trans/comm. index with 40,826 rail; 565,140 roads, 2,812 waterways, airports 85, and specifically at .30 trans/comm. index. While the country Nagy 240,000 rail, 3,732,747 roads, 41,009 waterways, 5174 airports, and the highest trans/comm. index of .48.
Both of these countries have economical power, they are distinctly different ethnicities despite their physiological similarities, and they are highly populated and developed making them the two powers in the cold war.
13. Name three countries in the early stages of demographic transition. Name three countries in the late stages of the demographic transition. Choose one of these countries and describe what their current demographics might mean during the next twenty years.
first stages of demographical change (a large young population, and each mother has many children)
Timah because of the exceptional high TFR of 6.43 and the %<15 from '75 at 50 and %< from '95 at a still very high 43
Agni because of the high TFR of 4.6 and the %<15 from '75 at 45 and %< from '95 at a still high 40
Oro because of the TFR of 3.13 and the %<15 from '75 at 41 and %< from '95 at a constantly high 36
last stages of demographical change (these three countries have the lowest %<15 for both '75 and '95, not to mention the lowest TFR as well)
Weizen low TFR 1.302 and the %<15 from '75 at 24 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 18
Valkea low TFR 1.531 and the %<15 from '75 at 22 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 19
Lale low TFR 1.72 and the %<15 from '75 at 23 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 20
In the next twenty years the country of Lale will have an even greater decrease in the percent of people under the age of 15, and there will also be a minimal decrease in the TFR. Although the death rate will probably decrease, or remain relatively the same. The economy will probably evolve into a post modern economy passed on service and technology which will decrease the amount of factories in the country resulting in a decrease in the amount of exports.
14. Give an example of each of the following types of states.
a. Fragmented: Agni
b. Elongated: Reen (although made of islands the main land mass is long and thin)
c. Prorupt: Zeit (there is a small part near Lale which is the same ethnicities as Lale, and relatively isolated from the remainder of the Zeit country)
d. Compact: Timah
15. Click the checkboxes next to cities and population density.
a. Which Country is most highly urbanized? Why?
The country of Lale is most highly urbanized because as I look at the population of Lale I can see that over half of the countries land mass is dark purple which indicates that there is 200-1500 people/sq. miles. Not only that but the remaining half of the country is rich purple which means that 50-200 people/sq. mile. There are large cities across the entire country, and there is not a single space that is light pink which would indicate a low population density. This country is the most urbanized.
b. Where is an example of a Primate City?
An example of a Primate City is city number 19 in Reen. This city is just off the coast of Carvao, and is surrounded by the dark purple color indicating that it has a densely populated area of 200-1500 people/sq. mile. Although there are other cities in Reen this city is larger then the others, and has more people living in the surrounding areas.
c. Where is an example of a Megalopolis?
There is a Megalopolis in along the boarders of Lale, Weizen, and Zeit. This area is entirely covered in dark purple. There are so many large cities in this space that the large pink dots overlap each other in some places. From the top of Weizen city number 56 to the middle of Zeit city number 18 ( I believe it is number 18 or 78) there is constant swirls of rich and dark purple to indicate that this is a densely populated area. Not only is this megalopolis highly populated, but to the surrounding areas have road ways into and out of this area. From Valkea to Pula there is a road way that stretches along the Megalopolis.
Geog 120H
Otterstrom
Geography 120 H Benua
Benua# is a hypothetical continent (assume there are no other continents or countries) with geographical characteristics similar to those found throughout this world. Your assignment is to analyze and synthesize all of the available data in order that you can then use that information in making valid geo-political analysis. You are encouraged to work together in groups to analyze the material but you must write and submit your own answers.
A. Go to http://www.geog.byu.edu/faculty/benua/
B. Analyze the various maps and tables. Try different combinations. For example: combine the resource and ethnicities map to see what minority groups might be sitting atop precious resources.
Answer the following questions. Typed responses are encouraged. Be sure to use correct geographic terminology!
1. Which country is most likely to experience balkanization? Why?
I believe that the country most likely to experience balkanization is Kome. Geographically Kome is a fragmented country. It is composed of three different islands near each other. Each island has a dominate ethnicity although on the most northern island there are a few areas were the other two minority ethnicities are present, but not dominate. The southern island has a more tropical agriculture than the rest of the country while the northern two islands share a subtropical agriculture. These islands also have large mountain ranges that make convenient trade more difficult. There are no major transportation roads or canals or rivers that cross between the three islands. The islands population is concentrated on the coastal regions. There is one major city on each island and all of the cities are facing away from each other and towards other countries.
2. Which countries are landlocked. What could these countries do to have access to the sea.
Sopka and Timah are both landlocked. To gain access to the sea Timah could travel on the exotic river that runs through Pula. Timah could also travel on the river that crosses Oro and Nagy. Both Oro and Nagy have more rivers and consequently water would not be as dramatic of a natural resource to the Nagy and Oro people as water would be a dramatic natural resource for the people in Pula, because Pula only has one river and the rest of the country is a desert. This would make is so that Timah would probably have an easier time traveling through Nagy than through Pula. After looking at the Timah cities it would also seem wise to use the river that runs through Oro and Nagy because there are multiple cities along the river route that the Timah people could trade with before reaching the sea port. The country of Sopka could also travel along rivers to reach the sea. There is a river that originates in Sopka that goes through Nagy that Sopka could travel across.
3. Assuming that the wind over Benua flows from east to west, explain why Pula is mostly desert.
Pula is mostly desert because the rain falls on the east side of the mountain range. It would then be a rain shadow desert because the mountain range in Oro and Timah create a barricade for the rain clouds. After looking at a map of the major rivers it appears that the runoff for these mountain ranges is also on the east side, because besides the one exotic river in Pula the remaining rivers from the mountain runoff are one the eastern side of the mountains in Timah and Oro.
4. Based on the transportation layer, which countries are likely to form an economic union? Why?
The three countries Zeit, Lale, and Weizen will form an economic union. Although the country Lale is an island it is just off the coast of Weizen, and Zeit. There are major roads in all three of these countries. One of the major roads travels near the boarder of Zeit and Weizen. Along this road there are several major cities. There is a concentration of people for all three of these countries at the point were all three of the countries boarders. The countries have unique natural resources that would benefit each other. Zeit has an abundance of petroleum, a little Iron, and some coal. Weizen has an abundance of coal, some tin, a little gold, iron, and also bauxite. While Lale has coal and petroleum. Each of the three countries has unique agriculture. Weizen has a prairie, and Lale has Dairy, while Zeit is mostly nomadic herding. Because Lale and Weizen have more agricultural benefits, but they are depended on the natural recourses of petroleum in Zeit the countries can trade food and livestock for petroleum between one another.
5. What country is involved for mono-crop production?
Mangkut is a island to the south. This island has only tropical agriculture, and no other agriculture. It’s boundaries do not spread far south or high north and so the longitude and latitude is relatively condensed so the island does not have that as variation. Although there are a few higher areas in Mangkut there the island is not overwhelmed by mountain ranges and attitude variation giving most of the island the same climate. According to the climate legend the climate on Mangkut is completely Tropical Rainforest, and there would be mono-crop production due to the single climate, agriculture, and relatively limited latitude and longitude variation.
6. Calculate the agricultural density of Nagy. What does this agricultural density mean for Nagy?
The agricultural density of Nagy is rather high. According to the agricultural of Benua download data is 43%. The fertilizer amount is 19,773,802 is the second highest, in the continent of Benua. It also has 45,970 of sq. miles of irrigation. The urban population in Nagy is 73% which is exceptionally high. The agricultural density is about the number of farms in a given area over the amount of agricultural land within that area. That means that just under ¾ of the population is living on just about 2/5 of the land. This high of an agricultural density could be devastation for the nation of Nagy, because most of the population lives on a limited area and they are using up the natural resources as the farm and harvest yearly. The entire population of Nagy is 226,701 and fortunately the country is rather large with 6,320,021 square km of land. The population density is 28 people per sp. Km. Compared to the other countries this population density is not drastically high, but sense most of the population lives in urban and farm land that means that a lot of land is needed to support the farmers of the country. The entire northern part is covered in mountains, and the little arable land the nation has for farming is filled with just under ¾ of the nation’s population. The country is running the risk of over expending their soil and agricultural ruin.
7. Which country most likely has swidden agriculturalists? Why?
Swidden or slash and burn is practiced mainly in tropical regions. Reen, Mangkut, Agni, and parts large parts of Oro, Carvao and Kome are tropical climate regions. According to the agricultural chart all of these countries have a few areas for tropical agriculture, but agni and mangkut are entirely depended on tropical agriculture. Mangkut has a much higher population to support than Agni. More so the agricultural download data sates that Mangkut has 207,000 sq miles of irrigation and 1,660,863 fertilizers despite the fact that only 27% of the land is arable. Roughly 33% of the population of Mangkut lives in urban. That is a lot of people trying to live in a tropical climate, and farm a small area of land. With the large amount of fertilizers and extensive sq miles of irrigation I assume that this country has no fear of imposing the influence of humans on their farms and would be the most likely country to use swidden or slash and burn.
8. What country has an exotic river running through it?
Pula has only one river running through it, and this is an exotic river that originates in the mountain ranges surrounding the country. It has head waters in North in Zeit, a head waters towards the east in Timah, and at the southern end a head water in Oro. This is an ideal example of an exotic river.
9. Which river basin would be most contentious? Why?
Something that would contribute to a contentious river basin is a valuable river. Although there are lots of rivers there are only a few that are considered Navigatable Rivers. One of these major rivers runs along the boarder of Oro and Carvao. This river runs into a direct sea port, and at the sea port there is a major network of cities and road ways for both countries. According to the politics of Benua download data the political corruption index of Carvao is 6.7 and Oro is 7.2 which puts both countries in the top five highest corrupted countries in Benua. The political stability of Carvao is -.35 and for Oro -.04 which puts both countries in the lowest 7 most stable countries in Benua. Both countries have distinct ethnicities Oro major ethnicity O and Carvao being C, but in the city 107 which is in the river basin I am describing there is a mixture of the two ethnicities. With Oro’s O population being the dominate and Carvao’s C population being the minority. Along this river there is the high population. The ethnic, political unrest, possible use of trade and transportation along the river, mixed with large amount of people living in the area makes this river basin a possible contentious river basin.
10. Weizen troops have just invaded Pula. Why is there a war between the two countries? Who else might get involved? Who will be victorious? What does Weizen hope the outcome of the war will be?
Up until this point Zeit and Weizen have been political friend in their own form of the UN. The relationship between Zeit and Weizen has been developed Weizen’s need for oil. As the country of Weizen has developed so has their need for oil. Currently though the country of Zeit has been having an increase in their political unrest and the country is on the edge of civil war. Zeit has been experiencing unrest because of the two different emerging cultures. The first being the ethnic Z which lives mostly in the densely populated coastal region and the second group the minority population in the east with the ethnicity I in that practices nomadic herding lifestyles. In short this two groups are have been causing political unrest in the country Zeit. Due to the political unrest in Zeit the amount of petroleum being shipped to the country of Weizen has dramatically decreased. Weizen still exports a large amount of its supplies to the country of Zeit and does not want to decrease economic relations with this country, but the country does need oil. Due to Weizen’s need for oil the country has decided to invade the country of Pula in an attempt to obtain more petroleum.
Lale is also a part of Weizen’s economic and political organization and because of these connections this country is sending financial support as well as technology to help Weizen with the war.
Wiezen will win the war. Weizen has a larger population than Pula by over 10,000 pc which means more troops and more people to support those troops. Weizen also has a greater economic stability over Pula’s because Weizen has %15.40 imports and %17.2 exports compared to Pula’s %1.3 imports and %1.6 exports. This not only means more economical power, but it means that there are more countries depending on Weizen’s imports and exports than Pula’s imports or exports.
The country that will be victorious will Weizen, and the country will get what they wanted, petroleum. This was the country Weizen’s intent when attaching the country. In short the country of Pula will turn over cities 78, 5, and 93 and their surrounding areas to the country of Weizen. Although Weizen want’s the petroleum they do not want to take the population of Pula on as a “burden,” because most of the country of Pula’s population is on the far eastern side of the country Weizen would like to avoid taking on as many of Pula’s citizens as possible. In short the country of Weizen will only try to obtain these cities mentioned (which are close to the petroleum) and avoid taking responsibility for the other cities.
11. Which country is a likely candidate to have been colonized? Who would have colonized it? Why?
The country of Reen colonized an area that was once apart of the country of Mangkut. The island shared between Reen and Mangkut was once owned entirely by Mangkut. The main population of Mangkut is M and the main population of Reen is R. On the island shared between these two countries both of these ethnicities are present, but the R ethnicity does not cover the majority of the population and remains a minority in the western side of the island. There is also one major city on this island which is next to a copper resource.

As the Reen people began to colonize the island for copper the R ethnicity began to move into the island and after some political disputes half of this island is now a part of the country of Reen.
12. If there were a Cold War in Benua, what two countries would be the superpowers and what countries would be on each side? Why?
The cold war would be between Nagy and Weizen. These populations have high exports and imports; which would give both countries great international and economic power. Weizen’s imports %15.4 and exports %17.2; it is also in an economical agreement with Lale with exports %15.8 and imports %15.6; and despite Zeit’s current political unrest Weizen is one of the countries economical allies. The country of Zeit imports %7.3 and exports %8. In contrast the country of Nagy imports %46.5 and exports 38.70.56 (I am not sure what typing error occurred here) The two countries of Nagy and Weizen both have substantial economic control in Benua.
The Weizen and Nagy countries both have distinctly different ethnicities, and that would contribute to cultural practice and ideal beliefs. Although there are two distinct ethnicities that run along the countries boarder there is no geographical reason. For example there is not a large mountain range that divides the two countries.

Both countries have relatively equal natural resources. The arable land for Weizen is 48% while the arable land for Nagy is 43%. Weizen Oil 776, Nagy oil 585. Iron-ore weizen 40,579, Nagy Iron-ore 74,017; coal Weizen 431,455, coal Nagy 88,295; Bauxite Weizen 10,398, Bauxite Nagy 0. This abundance of natural resources has lead both countries to have higher populations Weizen over 180,000 and Nagy has over 226,000. Not to mention technological growth and infrastructure. Weizen is in the top ten for the trans/comm. index with 40,826 rail; 565,140 roads, 2,812 waterways, airports 85, and specifically at .30 trans/comm. index. While the country Nagy 240,000 rail, 3,732,747 roads, 41,009 waterways, 5174 airports, and the highest trans/comm. index of .48.
Both of these countries have economical power, they are distinctly different ethnicities despite their physiological similarities, and they are highly populated and developed making them the two powers in the cold war.
13. Name three countries in the early stages of demographic transition. Name three countries in the late stages of the demographic transition. Choose one of these countries and describe what their current demographics might mean during the next twenty years.
first stages of demographical change (a large young population, and each mother has many children)
Timah because of the exceptional high TFR of 6.43 and the %<15 from '75 at 50 and %< from '95 at a still very high 43
Agni because of the high TFR of 4.6 and the %<15 from '75 at 45 and %< from '95 at a still high 40
Oro because of the TFR of 3.13 and the %<15 from '75 at 41 and %< from '95 at a constantly high 36
last stages of demographical change (these three countries have the lowest %<15 for both '75 and '95, not to mention the lowest TFR as well)
Weizen low TFR 1.302 and the %<15 from '75 at 24 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 18
Valkea low TFR 1.531 and the %<15 from '75 at 22 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 19
Lale low TFR 1.72 and the %<15 from '75 at 23 and %< from '95 at a still lower to 20
In the next twenty years the country of Lale will have an even greater decrease in the percent of people under the age of 15, and there will also be a minimal decrease in the TFR. Although the death rate will probably decrease, or remain relatively the same. The economy will probably evolve into a post modern economy passed on service and technology which will decrease the amount of factories in the country resulting in a decrease in the amount of exports.
14. Give an example of each of the following types of states.
a. Fragmented: Agni
b. Elongated: Reen (although made of islands the main land mass is long and thin)
c. Prorupt: Zeit (there is a small part near Lale which is the same ethnicities as Lale, and relatively isolated from the remainder of the Zeit country)
d. Compact: Timah
15. Click the checkboxes next to cities and population density.
a. Which Country is most highly urbanized? Why?
The country of Lale is most highly urbanized because as I look at the population of Lale I can see that over half of the countries land mass is dark purple which indicates that there is 200-1500 people/sq. miles. Not only that but the remaining half of the country is rich purple which means that 50-200 people/sq. mile. There are large cities across the entire country, and there is not a single space that is light pink which would indicate a low population density. This country is the most urbanized.
b. Where is an example of a Primate City?
An example of a Primate City is city number 19 in Reen. This city is just off the coast of Carvao, and is surrounded by the dark purple color indicating that it has a densely populated area of 200-1500 people/sq. mile. Although there are other cities in Reen this city is larger then the others, and has more people living in the surrounding areas.
c. Where is an example of a Megalopolis?
There is a Megalopolis in along the boarders of Lale, Weizen, and Zeit. This area is entirely covered in dark purple. There are so many large cities in this space that the large pink dots overlap each other in some places. From the top of Weizen city number 56 to the middle of Zeit city number 18 ( I believe it is number 18 or 78) there is constant swirls of rich and dark purple to indicate that this is a densely populated area. Not only is this megalopolis highly populated, but to the surrounding areas have road ways into and out of this area. From Valkea to Pula there is a road way that stretches along the Megalopolis.
