Our growth

i recently researched human migration, human population, and the idea of visualization. The more i looked up the more interesting it became. i learned that people sorted others in their color, like they could be white but look tan and people would sort them into the groups of american Indian, no one cared what they really were, just how they looked.Now today we know our races, we know where our ancestors are from, and now we are able to be friends with people of different race and not get put into a color chart. It was also cool to see how much the growth of all countries expanded and the routes that many have taken to get there. There is information of people from 60,000 years ago, they way they traveled, ate, and looked. On a certain website there was the genetic footprint, and when you clicked on the different routes, the types of people that traveled on that route would pop up, you were able to tell where they went to. Another website studied Europeans descendants from 3 groups that moved into Europe at different part of history, the first to arrive were hunter-gatherer who arrived 45,000 years ago, then there were farmers that arrived 8,000 years ago, and last of all there were nomadic Sheepherders that arrived 4,500, just to see the growth and different lifestyles throughout history was very interesting.

Philanthropy

Philanthropy is defined as the promotion to welfare of others expressed especially by generous donation of money to good cause. I have learned that philanthropy is how we get some of the major foundations in the world today, Michael Jackson donated more than $500 million to foundations and charity organizations he was one of the only singers that gave charity concerts. Andrew Carnegie gave away 90% of his fortune to charities all around the world, which was $2 billion, most of them were due to education, he was very big on helping others with college education, libraries, and many more.Bill gates gave away $29 billion to the bill and Melinda foundation which helps health and education all around the world. If i were to become a philanthropist i would give my money to special needs children as in help with health care, because sometimes those children's health care is more then the parents can afford. I would also help with the education for the homeless, and children that don't have enough money for school. I would help open up some free schools around where everything is free and the donation of food and bathrooms would help a lot.

Thinking about Success

1. Hard work, Skill, Opportunity, Luck
2. I believe hard work is #1 because if you want to succeed at something you have to work hard at it, you cant just become a doctor without studying the human body. Skill comes second because if you are naturally good at something you still need to improve on it, to get better and that takes dedication. opportunity is 3rd because not everyone can do something well no one just knocks on your door and gives you a job without any experience. Luck comes last because you cant depend on being lucky, you are lucky in the game of Jeopardy but you cant cant rely on succeeding for luck.

The Ball

1.the whole entire page was about the ball, they believe that the readers were very interested by the costumes and decorations. the newspapers perspective on the issue is believed to be fascinating and exciting.

2. the perspective on the event in this article looks like it’s a menu about step by step what they are doing. it seems like they aren’t being critical about the ball yet they want everyone to know what is happening, its an abundance of information. we can learn about the whole day, about all of the activities/dances, and everyone that was there.

3. the newspaper published his views to show that not everyone was all for the ball, he saw the ball as a problem because he believed that it was ill advised. the ball was criticized by a clergyman because he was showing his views compared to what other peoples views were.

4. the society was fascinated by the costumes that the people had worn and the amount of people that had attended, it was like a fashion show.

Industrialization

Throughout reading some sources of different type of industrialization i have learned that every store has some competition. I learned that Zara is one of the biggest clothing industries in the world.  "The company produces about 450 million items a year for its 1,770 stores in 86 countries" everything that is designed or made from Morocco, Portugal, or china has to go through Spain before being shipped out to stores. Zara is the clothing company that has supply and demand all year long. H&M is the second largest apparel retailer in the world. There clothes are created in Sweden with over 150 designers, they also like to use a certain technique for their clothes which makes them much more wealthier. they rotate through different clothing, always having the new fashion trends. H&M also gives a lot of clearance, and the cheaper the clothes the more likely people would buy, because no one likes to buy expensive clothing. It interest me how in the top 10 supply chain the technologies and different systems are so opular today, like the ford assembly line and the toyota production system, two great car manufacturers that were made in 2 completely different years. the ford assembly line was created in 1913 and the toyota production was created in 1990 yet they both changed our world today, without these two things i am not sure if cars would've been invented. Industrialization is a very popular benefit to the world that we live in, if we didnt have different industries creating different resources we might not have had the technologies/clothing that we have today.
