    Mexican immigrants appear to settle in CA the most. This may due to the situation of CA and Mexico and the amount of job opportunities involving agriculture.

    The chart on this page shows the top ten states with the most people who immigrated here from Honduras. 18.7% of Honduranian immigrants live in Florida, which makes sense because Florida is a coastal state that is relatively close to Honduras in comparison to other US states.

    UK immigrants tend to settle in California the most. This could be in part to the cultural opportunities available and the wealth of the immigrants in the UK, not to mention jobs in technological corporations based in Silicon Valley.

    Once again, California leads the nation in immigrants, this time from Afghanistan. People may come to California for the plentiful job opportunities and the area of access: a coastline only a few hours east of the Middle East.

    The largest percentage of Polish are currently in Illinois. This may be due to the presence of the polish culture that these folks are attracted to, drawing them in. The second most is in New York. This is most likely due to the fact that many Polish migrate through NY and as Ravenstein says that many people settle near their entry and the farther you leave that point the less there are (paraphrased to what he said.)

    Anyone enjoying the World Cup?  Check out this site about the stadiums.  Which theme(s) of geography are you reminded of when you read the stadium descriptions? Is it region, movement, globalization, nature-culture, cultural landscape or any combinations? Which stadium(s) are most likely preferred by certain teams? Who might prefer certain stadiums and why? .... Let's get a discussion going, APHUG!

  • Michael Anti (aka Jing Zhao) has been blogging from China for 12 years. Despite the control the central government has over the Internet -- "All the servers are in Beijing" -- he says that hundreds of millions of microbloggers are in fact creating the first national public sphere in the country's history, and shifting the balance of power in unexpected ways.
  • Michael Anti (Zhao Jing), a key figure in China's new journalism, explores the growing power of the Chinese internet.

    This is a fascinating TED talks video about social media in China. Watch this video and learn how China blocks and clones social mediums such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

    More than a dozen Republicans and a handful of Democrats have announced they are running for their party's 2016 presidential nomination. Page lists all the Democratic and Republican candidates. The page has links to mini articles describing what each person must do to win and why they won't succeed.

    This is a useful resource. Which theme(s) of geography might be demonstrated by these candidates attempting to persuade citizens to vote for them?
  • khurley18 on 23 Aug 15
     
    Mobility- The campaigns demonstrate how ideas are moved to different areas as well as techniques to persuade people to accept the ideas. In this case the idea being spread is to vote for a certain candidate over another for various reasons.

    Visit this site if you want to learn about the most popular sport in the world, soccer. You'll learn about how soccer diffused across the globe, from the U.K., and how it influenced Rugby, a very unique sport. Soccer is a great tradition for many countries, and it brings countries together every 4 years for a world cup. But, how did this begin?

    You guys did a great job! The images were really good and there was great information! One connection that I noticed on your website that was learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, was the reference to "Kicking the Dane's head," regarding early soccer.
  • rscolforo on 13 Nov 14
     
    I really like the layout and pictures of the website. I also enjoyed getting to learn more about the sport of soccer which I love and play.

    Wow! Fantastic job! I really enjoyed this site and I even learned some things about I didn't even know. And I play. I liked connection to the Dane's head; I remember learning about that in class.

    I did not know much about the origins of soccer or rugby before your website. I thought you connected to two very well and showed how they originated and diffused out excellently. Also, I think the origins of both sports are interesting and funny.

    This website does a good job at going in detail about soccer. I never knew that soccer was that old and how it can actually be traced back to it's original origin.

    It may be the most popular sport on Earth, but not very much is widely known on it's origins. Thanks for further insight!

    Pleas take a moment to ask yourself the following questions: Have you ever wondered what TV shows there are in other countries? Have you ever wondered if these shows are similar to ours? Did they copy us or did we copy them? If you have already pondered this topic or answered "yes" to any of the above questions then you will absolutely LOVE this site! It examines the similarities and differences between US shows and Asian shows! Watch popular Asian TV shows right now, they're only a click away!

    Great information and use of videos and graphics. I learned a lot about Japanese shows that I haven't before. Thanks for the information and great work guys!

    Your website looks great! It was very informative and easy to find everything. Honk Kong having a show like the U.S. relates to what we learned about China and how they made their own social media sites like our Facebook and Twitter.

    The websites is super informative! It was very interesting to see how ideas for TV shows have diffused, mainly between America and Asia, and it related greatly to our class lessons. Great work!

    The website was very nice and informative. I never knew that China has similar shows to us! That relates to what we learned in the Ted Talk about China cloning social media like Twitter and YouTube.

    The website had a nice layout and the pictures and videos added much to it. I did not know our TV shows influenced countries like Japan to copy them. Great job talking about the rapid diffusion of new electronic technology like Netflix and connecting it to class!
