Today in class we went deeper into the discussion of what site and situation mean and a few examples of each. But since I've already gone over what they mean, I'll just give more examples of how we explained them more thoroughly today. One example of how we explained these was through ships. Mr. Schick told us that he has a friend who was a ship pilot and travels the world delivering and receiving different resources for countries around the world. This wouldn't be possible without a place for the ship to load and unload it's resources. That is a good example for site because since we have access to the harbor in Baltimore we can send ships. A good example of situation is Washington D.C. Washington depends on it's tourists for Presidential sites and museums. These are the two explained a little better. I feel I've grasped these definitions and examples a little better since our discussions in class. However, a test still seems to much for right now and what I know.
In human geography class today, we finished dividing our regions by the various similarities they shared. My group also noticed a mistake we had been making and fixed it. That was that we weren't exactly dividing the regions to their correct category. For example, when we compared the different maps of presidential votes, we mistakenly put a few states together that weren't always 100% together. Some might have gone democratic one year while the others might have gone republic. I also hadn't picked up that we could divide them up based on weather/temperature. This caught my eye on a few states that were out of place as well. This changes things! This is what also divides us into different cultures. Culture is what makes up a specific region or group of people based on customary beliefs, material traits, and social forms. With the knowledge of the different regions and why they are in that region, it can help us to define what kinds of people may live there. This is what I g...
