Introduction to Culture

Our next task in Geography is to study an overview of Human Geography.  We are starting with the general study of: What is a culture and how does geography define a culture?

 So far, we've watched an interesting video presented by Wade Davis on the decline of world cultures. Two powerpoint presentations helped to define the term culture; the ABC's of culture and an overview of population and how is it measured.  Finally, we discussed the difference between a developing and a developed country.

Homework: Finish your Culture Shock! paper.  To be handed in on Monday.  Read pages 80-90 in your text book and consult the CIA Factbook website on your country.  What is the birth rate of your country? Death rate? Percentage of increase.  Is your country considered to be a developed or a developing country?  https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
