Geography and its Relevance to Our Everyday Lives
Waking up and getting ready for school, nothing out of the ordinary for me. ... Maybe so, until around January 12, 2004, the beginning week of my first geography course at a community college. I must admit that my impressions of World Regional Geography were solely based on stereotypes, that geography is generally memorizing a galaxy of world regions and locations. ... Our professor then preached the five pillars of geography to the class; location, place, human environment interaction, regions, and movement. A neoteric term, spatial analysis, was also inscribed in the “religion” of geography. ... Even the simple vocation of assembling for school ties into the five themes of geography and spatial analysis. ...
