Often geography………… is avoided by students who have decided that geosciences “a general term used to describe a wide range of specialized scientific fields within the broad areas of geology and resource management” (Clarke, Earle, and Wallace, 2006) is not the way to a successful career opportunity. Many students believe that obtaining a geography degree will get them nowhere, but I believe differently. Geography is not just learning the capital cities of Canada, drawing maps or even writing about
such as globalization, political geography, or industries and services. I was surprised at what all we learned in such a short period of time. I gained a new prospective and information about the world around me. Throughout the semester, my understanding and knowledge about geography has drastically changed from before this course. This course has made me think about topics and things that I have never reflected upon. I have had this standard premonition of geography as just places or maps, but there
multiple angles. Specifically, we can answer questions about social media by glancing through the lenses of Biology, Geography, and the English Language. First of all, research is sparked by a question. In this case, I wondered: Do users perceive positive media and negative media differently? Surprisingly, Biological cues in humans can be observed to help deduce answers. But first of all, what even defines Biology? Biology can loosely be defined by the study of living organisms, divided into their morphology

There is a connection between the idea of place and the reality of cellular telephones. It is not encouraging. Places are unique—or at least we like to believe they are—and we strive to experience them as a kind of engagement with particulars. Cell phones are precisely the opposite. When a piece of geography is doing what it is supposed to do, it encourages you to feel a connection to it that, as in marriage, forsakes all others. When you are in Paris you expect to wallow in its Parisness, to feel
Cheeks, and Two Kinds part of the novel the Joys Luck Club uses topics concerning the limits and connections in the relationships between mothers and their daughters. In an Asian society, especially Chinese society assumes a vital part in every one of the three short stories, giving the primary conflict an interesting plot. Amy Tans short stories for the most part depict the inconveniences and strain between Chinese immigrant moms and their Americanized daughters through their common experiences in a
Civilization to me is what makes up our lives. As humans we are part of different civilizations, but these civilizations are made up of specific cultures and societies. The actual book definition of a civilization would be, “networks of cities that emerge from pre-urban cultures and are defined by the economic, military, diplomatic, social and cultural interactions among them.” Over the course of the past couple weeks, I have had the chance to listen in on a podcast actually provided by Stanford
human connection: "...in the space between two buildings, a girl talks earnestly to a man in a straw hat. He touches her lip to remove a bit of something there...The sun sneaks into the alley behind them" (8). The City is also a structured grid upon which its citizens can lean: "Do what you please in the City, it is there to back and frame you no matter what you do. And what goes on on its back lots and side streets is anything the strong can think of and the weak will admire. All you have to

which is a repeating event that comes out to a similar ending every time. By recognizing patterns you can understand a text much easier. If you connect the information of a story and it still doesn’t make sense, look to find a pattern. A pattern would be when a main character is sad and it is raining. Then you would compare that pattern to a different story and it would help you better understand what is going on. One time I was reading a book and they talked about a rose. Although, this was not
