Geography Assignment

     Hey my favourite bloggers, this is an assignment about these two videos that my class and I have watched. They are about the fact that at the end of 2011 the world will have a population of about 7 billion people. If you have not watched or want to watch the videos then please check out these links: 7 Billion, and Typical Person. After you watch these videos please visit this assignment on my teachers blog: Geography Assignment.  There are 7 parts to this assignment. Let us start!

Part 1: I have to find the definition of globalization then link to it, after that I have to write a definition in my own words.
Definition: I found a definition of Globalization on an online Dictionary.
In my own words I think that globalization means to spread our population all over the world so that we are populating everywhere not just in certain areas.

Part 2: I have to visit a website called "The Face of Tomorrow". Then I have to fool around on another website called Map Page.

Part 3: I have to tell my theory on how someone can find the average faces of different people and races.
I think that taking a picture of lots of people both male and female then stacking them together and make the face stand out more than the rest of the body. I have gone on a website called Face Research and I put two chinese guys and two white guys together and found the average. This is what I got:


Me

   Part 4: I have to write three interesting things I found while playing around with the website Face of Tomorrow(you can see the link in Part 2) in full sentences.
1.I found out that the website was made so that we could see the "faces of tomorrow" meaning that we could see what the faces of the world will look like in the future. Not the future like 2 mins from now but in 200 years maybe.
2.What surprised me was that some races have an actual resemblance to each other.
3.I expected more of an anime thing not actual pictures of faces that were taken!

Part 5: I am supposed to fool around with a website called Face Research. After I did that I created an average that I thought were the faces of tomorrow, and I saved it.

Part 6: I have to write 3 reasons why I think that the pictures above are the faces of tomorrow.
1.First of all I think that in the future the average person will be white.
2.Second I think that people are unique in their own way but also have their own identity.
3.The last reason is that there are more black and brunettes than Red and Blonde hair.

Part 7: I have to write in full sentences about my family and my reassemblence to them. And if my face resembles my nationality.
I think that my face resebles a chinese man and a white women. That is the nationality of my biological parrents, I am adopted and the funny thing is that my adoptive parrents are the same but different genders.

I hope you enjoy this!
