11-17-14 Class


Today in Human Geo we did a few things. When we came into class, Mr. Schick said that he had not graded the essay part of the test, but that he would show us our grade for the multiple choice section of the test. I did not do well at all on the test. After each person saw their test grade, we started the next section. The next section is Cultural Geography. To begin the section, he showed us a map of the US and how the different sections of the US call a carbonated drink. Some people call it “Pop”, some people call it “Coke” and some people call it “Soda”. The thing that decides what a new born baby calls it depends on what they here others call it. Cultural characteristics are parts of a group’s everyday life. They are the ideas and themes which the group will teach to all members. These same characteristics can also link or decide a region. Some examples of cultural characteristics would be language, religion, and ethnic heritage.
