Demographics: So What?

-

      9 BILLION PEOPLE. What will life be like? I think that demography will impact the world because with more people, there will be water and food shortages because there won't be enough for 9 BILLION people. On the bright side, technology and transportation will be much better, and things will be more efficient. This will be because there will be more people with great ideas to make things happen. There will be an longer life expectancy. New discoveries will be made! This has relevance to my life because I may use the new technology, and I may not have a of of water. Lots of open land that we have will be gone because the 2 billion new people will need houses to stay in, so the houses will be built on the beautiful open land we have. Many more trees will be cut down because of need for paper. Oxygen will also be consumed faster. Global warming will get worse. Demographics will help me in the future because when I am going on vacation (which will be often :) ) I can look at a population pyramid and see if the country is developing or developed, which will give me a good idea of what to pack, and if I really want to go there. I can find out which business will get the most customers, and make a business of that kind.

What skills did I learn?
- Graphing data
- Read and interpret graphs
- Use statistics to explain the past and predict the future

Sticking It On Floor My eyes were puddled with tears. They were slowly trying to make their way out, but they weren’t. I felt like I had willingly ended the world for my self. You're braver than that. You never cry. No matter how hurt you are, you never cry. “It’s just one beam routine, in the millions you’ll do later when you’re in a higher level,” Coach Jasmin consoles me. “That beam routine just happens to be the only one that counts,” I mumble under my breath. A little angel pops up in my head, She’s just trying to help and reassure you, and you're putting her down? Who does that? You should be thanking her. Another, more devilish voice pops up in my head now. It’s her fault. She didn’t coach you good enough, so you fell. Be mad at her. Remember, you still have floor to look forward to, the little devil said sarcastically. The voices argued for a while. The devilish voice took over my brain, and I went on with no guilt. “All level 4s ...

Ceramics 2 Final Blog This blog’s purpose is to reflect on what skills, techniques, life lessons you have learned in this course.  As a teacher, I am looking for growth and dedication to your work. Textile: Woven Clay Bowl Photo: Reflection Techniques used: While making this bowl, I used the weaving technique. This was done by laying down strips and coils in an altering fashion. I also used slipping and scoring to attach the rim of my bowl. The rim was made out of braiding coils and the rose was made by using water to thin out the petals and then blending them together. I also used the sponge off sponge on method to glaze the base of my bowl, as you can see the blue peeking through from the white. Overall, I am really happy with the outcome of my bowl. There were a few roadblocks I hit, like when one of my strips broke, but I think that I was able to recover and make my piece look good. I especially like the glazing! Terms a...
