Document Summary
Living in the global environmental: an introduction to people-environment geography. Viewing problems as global make our own selves disappear and with it, our own significance. Driving a car in us vs making a fire to cook with in peru. These two things obviously have different levels of environmental impact. Embody an arrogance, my view is the universal view . Mission statement of the mission for people-env geography. Looking at problems from a political, social, economic view, etc. We need to move past the labels global" and local" because they obscure more than define. Final exam is not comprehensive, the final exam = on the last 3rd of the course. Exams = exclusively material in lecture, 60% of your grade. We will be dropping 3 of the lowest section assignments. Only hand in section assignments in section classes. Geography= the study of people and landscapes. The 1st discipline to be named in the western european tradition.
