Cia world Facebook- 5 major religions

Using the CIA world Factbook I was able to rank 5 major religions of the world by the percent of the worlds population that follow them. Then I used adherents.com in order to see if the percentages are consistent. On CIA world Factbook I found that 31.4% of the world follow Christianity, 23.2% are Muslim, 15% are Hindu, 7.1% are Buddhist, 5.9% are folk religion, 0.2% Jewish and 16.4% who don't identify as having a religion. On Adherents.com I found that 33% are Christian, 21% Islam, 16% non-religious, 14% Hindu, 6% primal-indigenous, 6% Chinese traditional, 6% Buddhism, 0.36% Sikhism, and 0.22% Judaism. In conclusion the number are pretty much the same except for a few percentage points each.

Christianity and Islam

In Human Geo today we took notes on Christianity and Islam. First we took notes on Christianity which has the largest amount of adherents with 2.2 billion. Most of these adherents come from Europe, the Americas, and Southern Africa. Although it is called Christianity many people also identify by the different denominations of Christianity. For example, the denominations are Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox, Protestants (Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and many more). We also took notes on the religion Islam. Islam is the second largest religion with 1.5 billion adherents. Most of these adherents live in Indonesia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Despite all of the denominations that Christianity has, Islam only has two. The sunnis and The Shiites.

Working on our essays

In Human Geo class today we had time to work on our Essays. I am sooooo thankful for this time because I need to redo my essay since I realized how bad and all over the place it was. I was able to get a good amount of my essay done in class but I definitely still had somethings to work on at home for it. I did my essay on Iceland, Aruba, and Zimbabwe and how they face different migration problems.

Essay for exam 1

Mr. Schick was not in class today so mrs. Gauthier was our sub. For our class time we were supposed to write our essay for the exam. The essay is do Friday. I am choosing option A because I think that its the easiest one for me today and I am most interested in that one. I am going to use the CIA world Factbook to find information on the 3 countries that I am doing. I plan on doing a European country, an island in the Carribean and an African country. In conclusion I should really be working on my essay because I haven't even started and I have a lot to do with studying for other classes exams lol.

Test on migration/podcast

We took a test today in Human Geo class. Although I completely forgot we had one until this morning I still think I did pretty well considering that I forgot. The whole front page of the test was matching. It would have a statement then you would have to match the answer to it and you could only use each letter once. For example if the statement is when someone is moving willingly. If I thought the answer was A voluntary migration then I would write A next to that statement and I wouldn't be able to use the term for the rest of the matching. The second and third pages were all multiple choice. The multiple choice was way harder then. matching. If I would have known that we had to know the dates of laws and stuff then I definitely would have studied more.

Powerpoint on the packet

In Human Geo we took notes on a powerpoint. The powerpoint was pretty much information that was in the packet that we looked at the day before but this time they took out the more important important information from the packet. Some of the important information that I wrote down is about peoples attitudes about immigrants. Most United States citizens have very strong opinions about border patrol whether it be building a wall or not. I also have information about Ravensteins options on immigration. He believed that most immigrants are adults, most are people seeking jobs without and children and that most long-distance immigrants were adult males.

packet

Today in Human Geo we looked at a packet. The packet had facts and important information about immigrants and and migration. I wrote down the things that I thought were important in the packet. For example I wrote down information about Quotas, migration with children, Labor force, years in the United States, Distribution and the source country. Some info that I wrote down about quotas are the years that each of them were signed and what the quotas were about. The quotas were in the years 1924, 1965, 1978, and 1990. Most of these quotas had something to do with limiting the amount of people per country that could immigrate each year.
