Document Summary

Geography is more than placing the where behind headlines- conveys location, but teaches us more about: Issues of: environmental change, population and settlement, cultural coherence and diversity, geopolitical frameworks of unity and fragmentation, economic and social development (5 dominant themes). Nk claims that it set off a hydrogen bomb. They have nuclear devices, but a hydrogen bomb is very large and powerful- has potential to wipe out many people. Whether they are lying or not, we are seeing a vocal rogue state saying it has the power to do many things. Aiming rhetoric at neighbours (sk, japan, etc. ) and the usa for supporting. Will affect geopolitical balance, certainly in east-asian region- asian countries immediately came out and said it was irresponsible. Russia peacemaker?- possibly looking for way to act as intermediary, stronger links with iran but has links with sa too. Sunni vs. shi"a- the countries epitomize the divide between muslim sects.
