Hinweis der Redaktion
- Truth is also dependent on scale.
- World has changed and geographic factors aren’t what they used to be…Truth is both spatially AND temporally contingent. But different doesn’t mean irrelevant.globalization makes place increasingly important---many think that geography is being conquered by transportation and communications technologies in this era of globalization rendering geography increasingly irrelevant as we move forward. Nothing could be further from the truth.
- Regions are artificial constructs that we make to group similar places together since we can't know everything about an infinite number of places. Far distant places are incredibly relevant to the daily interactions of many places.
- global news does not make sense without geographic context
- appreciation for cultural diversity is critical for global business
- Don’t just teach GIS, the ArcGIS platform and what buttons to push.
- Geographic thinking can unite and synthesize all the social studies
- environmental changes require holistic thinking about place
- The cultural is political. The demographic is economic. The urban and the rural are not mutually exclusive.
