A Significant Contemporary Event From A Geographic Perspective

Chapter one in the book, Human Geography, gives a timeline of the changes that have occurred since the creation of planet Earth. The author, John Rennie Short, explained how truly powerful the earth itself is. It has the ability to wipe out humanity. We often blame nature when natural disasters happen, but perhaps the human race may have something to do with the cause of environmental hazards like volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and earthquakes.

Scale- relationship between a specific place in the world, and the Earth as a whole.

We are always trying to figure out where we are in this world, or how we got where we are today. Obviously you have no choice of parents or where your born and these are two major contributing factors of who am I today. Being born white and a male society has immediately granted social advantages or white privileges. But, how privileged was I really? Being born in a highly populated city to first generations Americans without high school diplomas. I did have some advantages and I realized them growing up around my non-white friends. But compared to other white people I didn’t see my self privileged in many ways.

The local population is approximately 18,000 and over the four days of fair, 16,000 attend. The 54th DAA looks forward to additional partnerships with the community as it grows into the new millennium.

This is also the reason why stage production of the festival in Adelaide is so small. This can be seen when figure a (FOMO Adelaide) and figure B (FOMO Gold Coast) are compared. As you can clearly see from taking a quick glance at both festival sites with very similar lineups, the gold coast venue got a lot more people attending with the same amount of promoting and marketing. This clearly shows that there is something that hinders people from attending artist shows and festivals in Adelaide, which isn 't there in cities like Brisbane or Melbourne. The manager of the festival and I had a word and he said that the only reason they are bringing the festival to South Australia is so that they can use Adelaide as a testing ground and see if there is much potential for future events. The turnout was better than expected for this festival but still no where near as good as the other sites. Ever since the festival, BBE has been bringing in artist shows to Adelaide, such as Diplo, which I also worked on primarily as a marketing assistant, and his show was a lot bigger in the other cities as well, with higher stage production, more lights and a lot more crowd interaction.

Human activity is influenced by two opposite forces, globalization and local diversity. Globalization is the trend of increasing interaction between different societies. Local diversity is the trend of a society focusing on local development and growth. Maps are used to display real world places, human interactions and physical data on a two-dimensional surface

In the Introduction lesson, it recapped events prior to 1865. Events such as the birth of The United States of America in 1776, with a constitution put into place in 1789. During this period of time, the U.S had some great presidents and some not so great ones. Three major events happened, the War of 1812, to prove our independence to England, the Jacksonian Democracy, which caused political rifts between people, especially about slavery. Slavery divided the country apart, eleven Southern states wanted out of the U.S, resulting in a Civil War, in which President Lincoln, forced all the states to stay together. After the Civil War, it left the country in pieces, the Reconstruction era occurred from 1865-1877, to attempt to shape the country

Although the American Revolution is primarily regarded as the greatest turning point in history, it wasn’t. The American Revolution is often imagined and portrayed as a unification of all American colonists against the British in order to free themselves from the British authority. However, it was a war against the British supported only by some Americans, many of whom did not actually participate in the front lines. Despite that, Americans liberated themselves from British control because of their help from France and the fact that the British soldiers were not at all enthusiastic when fighting the Americans. The American Revolution was ultimately a turning point in American history because of the change in ruling powers from the British kings

The third viable alternative for the festival is to use the market penetration strategy. It has been observed that a lot of people have been unable to attend the festival because of out-of-reach places and scarcity of tickets. Thus, if the

Geography is an important factor to consider when you look at this worlds past, present, or future. So whether it be the earths physical geographic features, the geopolitics stirring up trouble across the globe, or the economics of growing or shrinking countries; geography plays a major role. In todays society, geographic knowledge is one of the most important and valuable tools to possess. Without it, we are victims of ignorance and endanger ourselves, others, and the world. This ignorance, possessed by many, is posing a great risk of self-destruction. The author of “Why Geography Matters More Than Ever”, Harm de Blij, makes many strong points on this matter, but occasionally makes unsupported and unclear statements which tend to stray off topic.

From a human resources standpoint, FNL currently has a great relationship with its clientele and is rich with performers and entertainers eager to take part in the events. This is demonstrated by the growth of visitors to 25,000 in the last season with additional growth expected. By last year’s numbers alone, 2,800 visitors can be expected, demonstrating the objective is not out of reach (see Exhibit 1). As the venue’s maximum operational capacity is limited 5,000 people, a sellout is plausible, creating a feel of exclusivity, encouraging people to buy their tickets in advance. A sold out event would be a huge success not only in achieving the desired attendance, but also for the future episodes in the

The festival which already receives funding from major companies, can seek out new music focused company sponsorship's that will provide aid for the costs of the concerts. The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.

The Music Festival is going to be held in the countryside of Victoria during the Australia Day weekend in 2016. The expected number of guests are between 8000-12000 guests and might change without prior notice. The local accommodation is limited, which means many extra units or little tents will be prepared and provided to address this

The lust for territory seems to be the real source of conflict, and until one group is satisfied, the appearance of religious conflict will exist in the Middle East. It seems as if the real truth needs to be portrayed to the rest of the world about the true reason for the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is geography and ultimately water. The lack of water stems from the Great Syrian Rift Zone, and causes damage to Israeli land which ultimately decreases the amount of water that flows into the Red Sea. This lack of water causes Israel and other surrounding countries (Jordan, Lebanon, and the Occupied Territories) to only have one source of surface water, which is from Lake Kinnaret, or the Sea of Galilee that flows into the Jordan River.

Electronic dance music (EDM) festivals around the world bring hundreds of thousands of fans together for enormous multi-day parties. New York Ranger (2014) points out that ‘DJs are the new rock stars’.
