Day 5

Today in Human Geo, Mr. Schick was telling us about recent topics discussed in Human Geo.  He was telling us more about A Message to Garcia and a little bit more of the background of the story.  Mr. Schick explained to us that A Message to Garcia was a metaphor that society needs a Rowan that will deliver a Message to Garcia.  This means that a person will get their job done, when it’s needed, without making excuses.  Mr. Schick also told us that this essay was in newspapers and became so popular that 80 million copies were made.  Some factories and other workplaces would use the essay in their brochures to motivate workers to send a Message to Garcia.  I enjoyed the story and how a Message to Garcia can motivate people to send Message to Garcia.  Mr. Schick also showed us the last elections for the United States and a few other countries.  I was surprised to see the United States had the lowest voting population then the other countries shown, even though America has a lot of freedom to allow people to vote.
