The goal of this course is two-fold: to give you a better understanding of the world in which you
live and to strengthen your mental map of the world. Increasing regional conflicts throughout the world, coupled
with recent political changes, highlight the need to understand geographic relationships.
|
|
The purpose of the course is to provide you a wider perspective of the world in which you live.
To accomplish this, a comprehensive view of the world's great geographic realms will be examined. The factors
stressed in assessing each region and their respective developments are: their human and physical contents,
their assets and liabilities, links and barriers, potentials and prospects. Additionally, the various
disciplines of geography will be introduced and reinforced throughout the course. These areas include: culture
and ethnicity, economic levels of development, industrial and agricultural bases, population demographics and
its consequences, physical environment and the connections within and between each region. The overall theme
emphasizes the interconnectivity of all the regions of the world.
