Document Summary
New geography is about movement, network, node, hierarchy, surface. Movement can be measured by equations of flows of migrants between places. Nodes , hierarchies can be measured a trade area that surround towns and cities. In its turn the new geography begins to fall apart from the 1980s onwards as people find it too unengaged with real-world problems -- and is replaced by: A series of more socially-relevant themes, i. e. - the geography of under-development and social inequality. The geography of gender (based on ideas about how cultural constructions of gender (based on world-system theory ideas) also structure space for people ) See ch 1, geographers at work page 9. Ethnocentrism: the attitude that one"s own race and culture are superior to those of others. Globalization: the increasing interconnectedness of various parts of the world through common processes of economic, environmental, political, and cultural change. Global connections today differ in at least four important ways from those in the past.
