World Map Directions

• Label the maps based on the map list
• You will have three separate maps (today only
  work on Map 1)
• I suggest color coordinating-ex. for all oceans
  use one color, for all mountain ranges use
  another, etc. (color coordinating is optional)
• Draw in the symbol for rivers and mountain
  ranges.
• If places are too small to write you can label
  the area by its number on the list
• Map items will be part of a global themes quiz
  that will be taken next week.

Overview

• We will be learning about many different people
  in the world and how their ways of life have
  changed over thousands of years.
• Different cultures are largely shaped by
  geography.
• Vastly different geographies equal many different
  types of people throughout the world.
• Think about how we have dealt with different
  types of people in the past and present?

11
Geography

• Peoples ability to change their environment is
  limited. Or is it? Think of ways people change
  their environment today?
• Geography-the study of where people, places and
  things are located and how they relate to each
  other.
• Maps, globes, charts help us to understand
  geography but it is much deeper than that
• 5 basic themes-describes the patterns and
  connections in the use of the geographic space.

12
Five Basic Themes of Geography

• 1. Location- position on earths
  surface.
• Relative location also. Where is
  it?
• Latitude- distance north to south of equator.
• Hemispheres
• Longitude- distance east/west of prime meridian.
• Ohio- 38, 80
• 2. Place- physical and human characteristics.
  What is it like?
• Physical-Landforms, climate, soil, ecology.
• Human- Stir Fry- quick cook b/c little fire wood
• Can you think of physical and human
  characteristics for Bath and Richfield?

13
Five Basic Themes of Geography

• 3. Region- an area of the earths surface with
  similar characteristics. How are places similar
  or different?
• Characteristics can be physical, political,
  economic or cultural
• Physical characteristics-climate, vegetation
  ,land patterns
• Cultural characteristics-organized around a
  religion or set of customs/language
• Economic characteristics-some countries may
  belong to a group of others because they are all
  third world developing nations

14
Five Basic Themes of Geography

• 4. Human-Environment Interaction-how people
  relate to the physical world.
• People use what the environment offers and change
  the environment to meet their needs-
• Some aspects cant be changed-climate
• People must adapt- (stir fry example)
• Not all people that live in a similar environment
  use it in the same way-Examples-

15
Five Basic Themes of Geography

• 5. Movement-how people, goods and ideas move from
  place to place.
• People have always migrated throughout history
• Trade-ideas/resources move through trade
• Missionaries
• Interdependence-countries rely on each other for
  resources that their geography does not provide

16
Ch.1-1 Questions

1. What is the difference between place and
   location?
2. Give two examples of how people reshape their
   environment and two examples of how people adapt
   to their environment.
3. Describe three ways to identify the region in
   which you live.

17
Chapter 1 Section 2

• Geographers need tools to study patterns
• There are all different types of maps to display
  information showing the 5 themes of geography
• Example-political maps, physical maps, etc.
• We will be doing three maps for Chapter 1

18
Importance of Maps to see Culture

• Map skills
• Geographers use different types of maps to
  collect information
• This information helps geographers to see
  patterns and how people develop based on their
  environment
• Surrounding environment helps develop culture as
  people adapt to live.

19
Maps for Chapter 1

• Label/shade the maps I give you
• Use colors to help code your labeling/shading
• Maps are worth a good chunk of points!
• You are responsible for knowing the maps on
  tests-I limit the number and give you a study
  guide

20
Culture

• Culture- all things that make up a peoples
  entire way of life.
• Elements that make up culture (we will study all
  of the elements in each region we cover)
• Social Organization
• Customs and Traditions

• Arts and Literature
• Religion
• Forms of Government
• Economic Systems

21
Elements that Make up Culture

• Social Organization- organization of members into
  smaller units.
• Family- most important passes down behavior and
  beliefs.
• Nuclear family-wife, husband, kids. US this is
  all that is needed why in other countries are
  larger ones needed?
• Extended Family- several generations.
  Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.
• Most families were patriarchal, only a few
  matriarchal.

22
Elements of Culture cont

• Sometimes social pressure is used to enforce
  minor rules of behavior. Written laws are about
  right and wrong.

How Culture Changes

• Japanese baseball story
• Can you think of reasons that cause culture to
  change?
• Causes of change-
• Technology- skills and tools people use. Ex.
  Carssuburbsurban downturnpovertycrime.
• 2. Changing environment- Ex. Extinction of
  buffalo to NA.

26
How Culture Changes

• 3. New Ideas- Ex. Recycling and conservation.
• 4. Diffusion- movement of customs and beliefs
  from one place to another. They move with
  people. Ex. The wheel to rock, music. Diffusion
  can be forced when groups take over others.
• 5. Traditions change over time- sometimes aided
  by tech. Need to find ways to keep old
  traditions. most people only prefer their own
  culture because it is familiar and comforting.
  We think they are they way things are supposed to
  be.

27
How Culture Changes

• Ethnocentrism- judge other cultures by the
  standards of your own- students need to define
  first.
• This is one of the main points of this class!
  Dont judge other cultures problems and ways of
  life until you understand them!
