The Three G's: God, Gold, and Glory
The document discusses the motivations of early explorers who traveled to the Americas from Europe. There were generally three main motivations: finding gold which could make explorers rich; seeking glory and fame through adventure and discovery; and spreading their religious beliefs, as religion was very important at the time. Explorers took huge risks for the potential of a big reward in one of these three areas.
Europe Reasons For Exploration
Europeans explored for several key reasons:
1) Spices were highly valued but could only be obtained from Asia, so European rulers sought a sea route to access spices more cheaply and make their countries wealthy.
2) Gold represented wealth and power, and explorers hoped to find gold in new lands to enrich their home nations.
3) Powerful monarchs like the Kings of Spain and Portugal wanted to expand their empires across new territories for resources and slave labor to increase their dominance.
The cultural imperative, global trends in the 21st century, h1, h2 h3 om howest
- Climate strongly influences culture by affecting factors like work ethic, social interaction norms, diet, and humor. Cold climates promote industriousness while warm climates engender more open socializing.
- Religion profoundly shapes culture through impacts on conflicts, languages, writing systems, and societal norms. The major world religions all originated in core regions and diffused cultural features outward.
- Both climate and religion establish deep-rooted, long-lasting effects on cultural worldviews, values, and behaviors that distinguish different human groups.

The document aims to describe the diverse functions and status of English globally, with a focus on South Asia. Students will learn about these topics through a combination of lectures, discussions, assignments and other activities.
Ch01 introduction to_human_geography
This document provides an overview of key concepts in human geography. It defines human geography as the study of how people make places and interact across space. It discusses how geographers use fieldwork and ask "why" and "so what" questions to understand linkages between places. The document also introduces the concepts of globalization, geographic scales, regions, and mental maps. It explains that reference maps show locations while thematic maps tell stories about attributes and their distribution. Finally, it discusses diffusion and how cultures and ideas spread from hearths to other areas through various types of diffusion like expansion, hierarchical, and stimulus diffusion.
Block political vs physical maps
This document discusses different types of maps and their purposes. Political maps show human-made features like cities, roads, and borders. Physical maps show natural features not made by humans, like rivers, lakes, mountains, and oceans. The document provides examples of jobs that would use each type of map, like a hiker wanting a physical map of Colorado or a driver wanting a political map to get to Utah. It also gives map-reading exercises asking students to identify locations, borders, oceans, and other geographic features using an atlas.

2 Understanding Primary Aspects of Diversity: Race and Ethnicity
In this section, students will
■ Learn how cultures have changed and adapted throughout history.
■ Explore the issue of racism in American society.
■ Consider the current status of Hispanics, Asians, and immigrants in America.
■ Examine the intercultural negotiation process.
■ Analyze a case that demonstrates why organizations lose lawsuits.
■ Experience what it is like to be different from others.
The primary dimensions of diversity are considered to be those social group memberships that are fixed and usually very central to one’s self-identity like race, ethnicity, age, gender, mental and physical abilities, and sexual orientation. In Section II we begin by examining the first two: race and ethnicity. First, we explore the inter-relationship between cultures and examine how cultures change and evolve (Sowell). The next three readings address the three major racial/ethnic groups in the United States: African Americans (McNickles), Asians (Meadows), and Hispanics (Etzioni). This leads to an examination of current immigration trends and issues (Allard) and a framework (Salacuse) that can be applied to negotiations among cultural groups (Harvey). Section II closes with a case that illustrates how corporations can manage differences poorly (Harvey) and an exercise that provides an opportunity to see what it feels like when you are a minority in some significant way (Harvey).
A WORLD VIEW OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Thomas Sowell
GOALS
• To understand the process of cultural evolution and change
• To learn how other cultures influence Western traditions
• To become aware of the interdependence of global cultures
Diversity has become one of the most often used words of our time—and a word almost never defined. Diversity is invoked in discussions of everything from employment policy to curriculum reform and from entertainment to politics. Nor is the word merely a description of the long-known fact that the American population is made up of people from many countries, many races, and many cultural backgrounds. All this was well known long before the word diversity became an insistent part of our vocabulary, an invocation, an imperative, or a bludgeon in ideological conflicts.
The very motto of the country, E. Pluribus Unum, recognizes the diversity of the American people. For generations, this diversity has been celebrated, whether in comedies like Abie’s Irish Rose (the famous play featuring a Jewish boy and an Irish girl) or in patriotic speeches on the Fourth of July. Yet one senses something very different in today’s crusades for “diversity”; certainly not a patriotic celebration of America and often a sweeping criticism of the United States, or even a condemnation of Western civilization as a whole.
At the very least, we need to separate the issue of the general importance of cultural diversity—not only in the United States but in the world at large—from the more specific, more .

Ch01 AP Human
Geographers are concerned with scale and connectedness for several reasons:
1) Phenomena at one scale are influenced by phenomena at other scales. The scale of study impacts the level of detail observed.
2) Processes operating at different scales influence one another. Jumping between scales is important.
3) Regions are defined by shared characteristics or interactions within spatial extents. Perceptual regions help understand phenomenon.
4) Culture and ideas diffuse between places, connecting them. Different diffusion patterns like expansion, hierarchy, and relocation influence how ideas spread.
Human geo
Human geography is the study of human activity and how it varies across locations on Earth. It examines where people are located, why they are there, and how they interact with their environments. The course aims to teach students to analyze maps and spatial data, understand relationships between phenomena in different places, characterize associations between patterns and processes at different scales, define and analyze regions, and characterize changing connections between locations. Key content areas include geography, population, cultural patterns, political organization, agriculture, industrialization, and cities.
Civilizations & pre history
This document provides an overview of human prehistory and the development of early civilizations. It discusses how scientists like archaeologists, anthropologists, and paleontologists study human origins and origins through excavating sites and analyzing artifacts and bones. Early humans like Homo habilis and Homo erectus developed tools and fire. Agricultural developments during the Neolithic Revolution led to more permanent settlements and specialization of labor, laying the foundations for early civilizations. Key characteristics of civilizations included cities, complex institutions like government and religion, record keeping, and advanced technology.

Hong Kong, Guyana, and Haiti all have distinct cultures but also show influences from globalization and history. Hong Kong has a very modern economy and culture that blends Chinese and Western influences. Guyana reflects its British colonial past and has cultures from African, East Indian, and indigenous peoples. Haiti has struggled with poverty after independence from Europe but maintains a cultural blend of Caribbean, French, African, and indigenous roots.

Social scientists have learned about the daily lives of ancient Egyptians from archaeological evidence found in tombs. This evidence, such as oxen bones and boats, suggests that ancient Egyptians used oxen to plough lands and read boats to catch fish. More recently, sources like the Rosetta Stone have helped historians understand ancient languages and learn more about civilizations from the past. Primary sources provide firsthand accounts, while secondary sources discuss and analyze primary sources to help people learn about history.
History of World Tourism (Updated July, 2021)
The presentation will help the students in the First Semester of Hospitality & Tourism studies to grasp the global reach and effect of tourism.
Slide1 introduction to geography
This document provides an overview of global economic geography and discusses several key concepts:
- It defines geography as the study of spatial patterns in the human and physical world, examining the distribution and relationships of natural and human features on Earth.
- Globalization is defined as the increasing interconnectedness among people and places worldwide through various factors such as ideas, technologies, goods/services, and media.
- The document outlines 10 major world regions and traces the history of globalization from early exploration and colonization to the current modern, globalized world.
Chapter_Nine_-_Cultural_Regions.pptx
This document provides an overview of different cultural regions around the world, including Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (former Soviet Union).

It also outlines the major countries, cities, and physical features of each region.
Rodriguez - Geo maps V2
Maps provide visual representations of geographic information and come in many types for different purposes. They combine elements of art, science, and technology. Atlases collect related maps focused on a geographic or thematic subject. Assessing maps considers their scale, projection, currency, and usability. While physical maps can be expensive, many free online maps are available from commercial and organizational sources. Geographic information systems now process digital data to create interactive maps.
Republic of Croatia
Croatia is a country located in Southeastern Europe with over 1,000 islands along its Adriatic Sea coastline. It has a population of around 4.3 million people who are mostly ethnically Croatian and Roman Catholic by religion. Croatia has a long history and was once part of the Roman Empire and Yugoslavia before gaining independence in the 1990s after the Croatian War of Independence. Today, Croatia has a diverse culture influenced by Mediterranean, Balkan and Central European traditions and its economy relies heavily on tourism, particularly along the coast.
3.2.1 identities and communities
The document discusses identities and communities in Britain. It provides statistics on the religious and ethnic makeup of Britain in 2001, showing Christianity as the largest religion at 72% and noting the percentages of other religions. It also gives population figures for different ethnic groups in Britain from 2008, showing White British as the largest group. The document examines regional variations in Britain and how migration both removes and improves cultural diversity. It emphasizes the multicultural nature of British society today.
Clash of Civilisations
The document discusses five major civilizations that existed during the medieval period - the Christian Kingdoms of Europe, the Byzantine Empire, Islamic Civilization, Chinese Civilization, and Mesoamerican Civilization. Students are instructed to complete an activity where they research these five civilizations, note key facts about each in a table, and mark their approximate borders on a map. They are also asked to hypothesize where the civilizations may have come into conflict with each other.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future of Digital Humanities
Slides of my DHOxSS closing lecture
Oxford, 26 July 2019
Abstract
In the constellation of research fields, new configurations are continuously reshaping our ideas of what a field should be. This is particularly the case in the young field of digital humanities which, as David M. Berry noted, started with a focus on improving access to digital repositories and then moved to expanding the limits of archives to include born-digital materials as research objects. Both moves greatly impacted our research practice. However, I argue that we have only started scratching the surface of what digital methods can mean for humanities research.
In particular, as our methods and collaborations with other fields have matured, we can now start imagining new types of research questions that go beyond the sum of their ‘digital’ and ‘humanities’ parts -- to fundamentally change the nature of the humanities questions that we can ask. For such a reshaping to occur, we need to deepen the connection to our academic neighbours and keep looking beyond our own research community in order to ask these new questions. In my talk, I will present how multi-disciplinary collaborations between historians, linguists, and computer scientists can bring about new insights that may form the first steps to this future.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
