Today we started a new lesson in human geography. We will be talking about three main points. Why is each point on earth different, Why are places similar, And why are some actions unsustainable. We also started talking about regions. Regions are highly contested yet important concepts in human geo and can be studied as they relate to space, place, and locations. Regions allow us to generalize about common characteristics so we can better group them. A formal region is an area with a high level of consistency in a certain cultural or physical attribute. Formal regions are uniform or homogenous areas where everyone in that area or region share common attribute traits like language or political systems. Formal regions are usually the outline to a political or economic area. Today was the start of human geo in the eyes of Mr. Shick as he has told us that the class only gets harder from here. I actually excited to move on in the class and i think that i will do very well this year.
