40 Maps That Explain the World

• http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/08/12/40-maps-that-explain-the-world/

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?

Geography

• People’s 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.

Five Basic Themes of Geography 1. Location- position on earth’s surface. Relative location also. Where is it?

• Latitude- distance north to south of equator. –Hemispheres

• Longitude- distance east/west of prime meridian.

• Ohio- 38, 802. 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?

Five Basic Themes of Geography3. Region- an area of the earth’s 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

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-

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

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.

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

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.

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

Culture• Culture- all things that make up a people’s entire way of

life.

• Elements that make up culture: (we will study all of the elements in each region we cover)

1.Social Organization

2.Customs and Traditions

3.Language

4.Arts and Literature

5.Religion

6.Forms of Government

7.Economic Systems

Elements that Make up Culture1. 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.

Elements of Culture cont…

2. Customs and traditions- rules of behavior. • Sometimes social pressure is used to enforce minor

rules of behavior. Written laws are about right and wrong.

3. Language- cornerstone of culture. • All have it but some do not write it. Same lang.

tends to equal similar customs

4. Arts and literature- Teach us about values while entertaining us. Encourage identity and teach us lessons. Promote cultural pride and unity.

Elements of Culture cont…5. Religion- Helps people answer basic questions

about life. Supports imp. values. • Varies- monotheistic or poly theistic. Religious

problems are an issue.

6. Forms of Government- provide for their common needs. Keeping order and protecting society. Ex. Democracy, dictatorship

7. Economic Systems- how people use limited resources to satisfy their wants and needs. What, how, and for whom questions.

Ch.1-3 Questions

1. From birth we are taught the ways of thinking, believing and behaving. What is your family culture?

2. Give examples for each of the seven elements of culture.

How Culture Changes• Japanese baseball story• Can you think of reasons that cause culture to

change?

• Causes of change-

1.Technology- skills and tools people use. Ex. Cars=suburbs=urban downturn=poverty=crime.

2. Changing environment- Ex. Extinction of buffalo to NA.

How Culture Changes3. 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.

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! Don’t judge other cultures’ problems and ways of life until you understand them!
