Mental Maps

Mental Maps:
How do you describe where things are?
How do you describe your daily routine?
A mental amp is a person's point of view/ perception of their area of interaction most commonly called your activity space.   Today in class we talked about our perspective of the maps by drawing the world map without any help and just a piece of paper and drawing how we get from our house to school.  I actually really enjoyed drawing the world map and it was very satisfying to me.  It was sort of weird because I couldn't remember the way I drive to school every morning or what I pass by on my way.  I am very directionally challenged and forget ways to get to places I go on the daily.  Many people left class early to go to sporting events.  We had a soccer game today, we won are first conference game 1-0 against NDP.  I went to dinner with my friend at Steelfish.  It was really good I got a grilled chicken with crab dip on top with pickles and French fries.  I had a lot of homework tonight which is weird because last night I had practically no homework at all.  Also in exciting news we got a air conditioner in our class today it felt SO good.  We named her faith.

Rome pt.5

  - The poet Juvenal said Rome "anxiously hopes for two things: bread and circuses" - Bread (free grain from the state) and entertainment (circus Maximus, Colosseum), partly to keep them alive,  and partly to keep them quiet, distracted, and docile A Change in Rule - Tiberius Gracchus recognized the advantages of courting the plebeians (even though he was ultimately unsuccessful).   Military generals worked that angle - lead an army that conquers a land, then give them a share in the spoils - Soldiers' loyalty was to their military leader, not necessarily to Rome or the Republic No one did that better than Caesar: - Julius Caesar (100-44 BCE) (test question) - A highly successful general - He conquered the huge territory of Gaul He could play the game (of politics):  Made common folks happy  Made friends in high places  Pompey (a general who conquered Syria and Palestine)  Crassus (the richest man in Rome, one of the richest men in all history)  These three
