Blog 8: Eygpt

Today in class I took notes on Egypt. Egypt had very fertile land upon them due to the nile river. It allowed them to be a reliable trade partner with others. They can maintain themself with a stable water and food source. The economy was wealthy because farmers could make a lot of money of crops and supplies. Egypt is slit into North Egypt and South Egypt. Lower Egypt has a nile delta and amazing farmland. Upper Egypt is on the Nile so it also has a good water supply. They were ruled by Pharaohs that were considered Gods. Based on their wealth, the nicer the stuff they had when they are mummified and remembered. Those of lower class and wealth were less remembered and weren't baried as nicely.

Which is exactly what happened in the global pandemic of Covid-19. At first it was just a rumor that we would all be going to cyberschool and missing a couple weeks. It sounded like a dream. It quickly turned into a nightmare. You didn't get to see your friends for 3 months and counting. You missed out on your whole freshman baseball season. You missed out on your hershey park trip.

One aspect is the increase in the proportion of the elderly in the total population. The other is the slower growth of the population, arising directly from the declining fertility rate. The former affects Japan’s economic performance by increasing the social security burden and benefits. The latter has a direct impact on economic growth by reducing the labor force, which is a major factor in production. 2.)
