What Is The Connection Between The Geography Of You And Me

Geography will never mean the same to me, the more I read the more I’ve learned it’ so much more than land and boundaries. What I’ve learned from this literature it seems to be the study of issues that affect people and the environment, and ways to solve the world’s problems. Geography is important because it affects all aspects of life. No matter what you are talking or thinking about geography is somehow involved. Everything in the world has a direct connection to place, location, interaction, movement, and region.

Document “A” relates to the prompt because it shows the main physical features of the Roman Empire. This document shows that geography plays a big part in trading, along with, strategizing during battle. The first thing that pops out is The Mediterranean Sea, and how it helped influence the Roman trade and travel. It shows the Sahara Desert and how this helped shield them from many invaders. It also shows the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These were important trade routes, as well as, easy places to sneak up on other cultures in an attempt to overtake them. The map also displays mountains in the area of Italy that could act as a refuge from other tribes/cultures, if a war broke out.

Over the course of the centuries maps have been used to find locations all over the world. They have evolved and to become more advanced, thanks to technology. Of course, there are specific ways to use a map such as basic components. Basic components include a compass rose which indicates the cardinal directions. Legends is the key where symbols are used to help find a point on the map, or in other words, lead the way. A scale can range from as far as a continent to as close as a house. All these components are important while using a map.

The United States is located in the center of the North America continent. It is the second largest country in the continent and the fourth largest in the whole world after Russia, Canada, and China. Its total area is 3.797 million square miles (9.834 million square kilometers).

From an early age, I acquired a keen interest in geography. AN example of my love of the subject is when I visit Wales many times a year, every time becoming overwhelmed with the pure beauty of the landscape along with the physical and human processes that have interacted to make it the place it is presently. During my school years I studied geography, building up a foundation of knowledge. Along with this, my personal experiences with the natural world like hiking up dolgoch falls and visiting the centre of alternative technology (CAT) in Wales has given me a more insightful understanding of geography, engaging me with the desire and determination to learn more.

Conflict between nations over territories raises red flags in maps, as maps can “tell a lie”. Maps are sometimes made in a way to make the viewer believe in something else, a side of a story rather than the accurate exhibition of the true state of territories. There are many disputed grounds between nations. China had claimed some of India, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Taiwan’s territories in its 2012 passports which displayed a map of the country. But, maps like those are usually made with intention of showing what a country wants or what it believes it rightfully possesses. In doing this, there is a way to secure the physical implications that a country’s government governs farther out, therefore fabricating its reach of power farther outwards. Although, when the intention is to show possible future implications of near conflict, things change.

War is a timeless phenomenon that has shaped societies and cultures; war is greatly influenced by geography. History and geography are both important when considering wars; history tells what events took place, but geography tells us the why, where, and how. One can study geography’s effects on war through geography’s subtopics: physical, human, economic, and political geographies. For example, war strategies and methods are geography based. Physical geography studies the terrain and landforms in the war-ridden area; these can be a disadvantage to individuals unknowing of the area, and can be used to the advantage of the country being invaded. Human geography shows the relationship between the humans (soldiers and civilians) and the land.

In conclusion, agriculture, domesticated animals, germs, and steel are all products that can be credited to geography and all helped Europe become the most powerful country in the world. Geography affects latitude which affects the climate of a region which impacts agriculture and domesticated animals, and all of the previous allow time to invent and build new tools and technology or lack of time and absence to the ability to evolve and progress in technology. Civilizations such as Europe were very fortunate with geography which meant agriculture, animals, germs, and steel would come with it. Generally, when a civilization has good crops and agriculture, the climate is suitable for domesticable animals, so people in the civilization build an

All the way to America by Dan Yaccarino: This book tells the story about Michele laccarino growing up in Sorrento, Italy. When he was a boy his father gave him a shovel to help on the farm. When Michele became a young man he left and went all the way to America. His parents encouraged him to work hard, enjoy life and never forget his family.

Every year he would take his family to Italy to watch the parade. When Mike son grew up he moved back to the city of his great grandfather Michele. His parents told him to work hard, enjoy life, and don’t for get to call your family, and handed him the

My undergraduate thesis poses two fundamental questions: how does geography happen to Black people and how do Black people “happen” to geography? To answer these questions, I examine the spatialization of the Black body through a geo-ethnography of the Black house community who participated in house music and house culture in Chicago between 1972-1988. First, I flesh out the sociospatial processes—such as redlining, suburbanization, the rise of the post-1970 Black middle-class—that altered the geographies of post-war Chicago for Black Chicagoans. Black Chicagoans live in a second city as a result of the persistent maintenance of social apparatuses that are mapped into and onto the landscape of Chicago that contain Blackness. Second, I unearth

Physical geography has been broad subject that includes a lot of things occuring on Earth. I never really thought about physical geography and its impact in my life until I took this course. Some lessons coincided with topics from my other classes such as sea erosion and outgoing longwave radiation. Other topics applied more to my life and somewhat affected my lifestyle. I think the ones that made most of an impact was the tsunami warning lesson and the imbalances of outgoing longwave radiation.

One of the classes I think I've grown in is Cultural Geography because I was not doing that well in that class. My grade in that class was a F. But, at the end of the Semester I was doing better than the beginning and I brought my grades up to a passing grade. Another class I think I've grown in is English because in the beginning I was not passing the class but at the middle of the Semester I was doing better. At the end of Semester I was passing the class. The Habit of Heart and Mind I think I've improved most on is that I do my homework and studying for a test. That helps me to do better at my test and have a good grade. The Habit of Heart and Mind I am using more now is doing my homework every single day. I have gotten better at the habit

What is geography? Author Alastair Bonnett attempts to answer this question in the book titled the same. He states that geography is a “human enterprise...[that] is an attempt to find and impose order.”1 He explores the many facets of geography that include history, political power, climate, and the humans that live throughout the world. The first two chapters explain in more detail about how geography is knowing the world through both political order and nature.

Throughout the history of the world, humans have made an incredible impact on their environment. As one of the most complex and different species on the planet, we’ve made our mark on the Earth in more ways than we can count. Not only that, but Earth and its geography have played a major role in how we conduct ourselves, feed ourselves, and introduce new ideas. People have studied the ever-changing characteristics of Earth and its inhabitants for centuries. Almost any time you study geography, you can come back to the Five Themes of Geography. Also known as movement, place, location, region, and human-environment interaction. These five themes can be tied into almost any historical event. Don’t believe me?

Maybe some people will think human geography has no relation between physical geography. But I think human geography has a great effect on physical geography, and physical geography has a great effect on human geography too.
