population pyramids

Today in human geography class with mr.schick we took many notes in our notebooks about the various topics we discussed. The topic we discussed most was about the population pyramids. The population pyramid is the "chart" that sorts the boy to girl ratio in comparison to a certain age range. Their are three types of population pyramids. Those being either a Christmas tree, a box, or a cup. The country Bangladesh is considered to have a Christmas tree shaped pyramid. The United States and Sweden are considered to be box pyramids. Japan is considered to be a cup pyramid. Mr schick then brought up a Russian band who was very vulgurous and dirty minded, so knowing me I researched this topic and the song was very very amusing.

Group Project

Today in Western Civilization we worked on our group project. I took notes about the spartans and how they went into the military as young as the age of 7.  The children would be removed from their parents’ homes and began the “agoge.” The agoge was a state-sponsored training regimen that was designed to mold these young boys into skilled warriors and moral citizens. The agoge was designed in a way that would make these young boys resistant to hardships such as unbearable cold weather, hunger, and an excruciating amount of pain. Unlike the Athenian army, Spartans were more strict for the army. A Spartan man, on average, would complete the main phase of the agoge around age 21.
