-Lesson One
-Key Concepts
-Geography Matters
-Increasing geographic interdependence of the world
-Instant global communications
-Rapidly changing international relationships

-Places and regions
-Human Geography is about recognizing and understanding the interdependence
among places and regions, without losing sight of the uniqueness of each specific
place
-Place Matters
-Geographic literacy
-Lack of geographic understanding and knowledge among Americans
-Places are dynamic and complex
-Influence and Meaning of Places
-Exert a strong influence on people’s well-being, opportunities, and
lifestyle choices
-Become powerful emotional and cultural symbols
-Are central to identify
-Are sites of innovation, change, resistance, and conflict
-Studying Human Geography
-Spatial organization of human activities
-Relationships between people and their environments
-How and why relationships are important

Lack of geographic understanding and knowledge among americans. Exert a strong influence on people"s well-being, opportunities, and lifestyle choices. Are sites of innovation, change, resistance, and conflict. Geographers solve a variety of problems on scales from local to global. A map scale is the ratio between linear distance on a map and linear distance on the. Thematic maps are designed to represent the spatial dimension of particular conditions, processes, or events. Systematic rendering of the earth"s surface onto a flat surface. Gis allows us to store, access, and manipulate data and produce maps.
