Wiga 2015 Geography in the Age of Globalization
This document discusses the importance of geography education in an era of globalization. It argues that while globalization has made the world more interconnected, place still matters. It provides four recommendations for how competent geography teachers can help students understand our complex world: 1) by providing geographic information, 2) teaching geographic concepts, 3) using data, maps, and geospatial technology, and 4) asking questions that encourage spatial thinking in order to develop geographic literacy. The overarching message is that a spatial perspective is valuable for understanding global issues and students need diverse cultural understanding to interpret conflicts and changes around the world.
Mass geoliteracy for Primary Source
The document provides strategies for teaching geography to students, including providing geographic information and teaching geographic concepts using data, maps, and technology. It recommends asking questions that encourage spatial thinking, giving students prompts to translate information and identify, describe and explain concepts. Additionally, it suggests making connections between physical and human geography as well as asking comparative questions to analyze how events may change cities over time.
Primary source
This document discusses the importance of strengthening geographic content in the classroom. It argues that studying abroad and geography can help broaden students' perspectives on other countries and foreign policy issues. Fewer than 10% of college students study abroad or take geography courses. The document advocates teaching geographic concepts, using maps and geospatial technology, and asking spatially-focused questions to develop students' geographic literacy and ability to understand an interconnected world.
Mexican History through Art
This document discusses Mexican history as portrayed through art by muralists such as Diego Rivera, David Siqueros, and Jose Orozco. It covers major periods and events in Mexican history from the pre-Columbian indigenous past up until the early 20th century, including the Mexican Revolution. The eras discussed include the Conquest by Spain, Colonial rule, the Independence movement, the Reform period, and the Mexican-American War, all depicted in murals focusing on national identity and the birth of the Mexican people.
Module 1: intro to human geography
The document discusses how agricultural geography and population movements influenced the outbreak of the American Civil War. It explains that the potato originated in South America but was adopted in Northern Europe due to its ability to thrive in harsh climates. This population growth in Europe led to a famine in Ireland and mass migration to the United States in the mid-1800s. Most Irish immigrants settled in the industrializing Northern states, shifting the population balance between the North and South. This impacted the political power dynamics between free and slave states, contributing to the South's decision to secede from the Union and fight to preserve the institution of slavery.
Suburbs
Suburbanization grew dramatically in the United States after World War 2 as transportation infrastructure like highways and affordable housing in new suburbs drew middle and upper class residents out of cities. This mass movement to the suburbs transformed the US from a primarily urban to a primarily suburban nation, with important social, economic, and environmental consequences. Factors like the rise of car ownership and use, federal policies, and trends of single-family homes and nuclear families supported extensive suburban development through the 20th century.
Nestval 2015 Geography of Food
This document provides a variety of links related to teaching the geography of food.

The links provided cover subjects such as government subsidies, industrial agriculture, local food movements, urban farming, and debates around GMOs. The overall message is that food is a perfect topic for teaching many aspects of geography and raising important issues about our global food system.
Regions and Culture
1) Cultural regions can be defined in different ways, including formal regions that share common traits, functional regions organized around a central node, and perceptual regions that people identify with as part of their cultural identity.
2) Culture can be understood as the beliefs, institutions, language, and technology that are learned and built by a group of people. Key elements of culture include cultural traits, complexes, and realms of different scales.
3) Material culture refers to the physical objects and spaces that define a culture, while non-material culture includes ideas, beliefs, values, and language. Both aspects shape a group's behaviors and perceptions.
New Industrial Division of Labor
The document summarizes how the international division of labor has changed over the last 30 years, with manufacturing shifting from more developed to less developed countries. Key points discussed include the rise of just-in-time delivery, flexible production models, outsourcing and offshoring to take advantage of lower costs overseas, and the growth of new industrial regions and clusters in developing nations like China, Mexico, Eastern Europe, and Asia. The impact on developed nations like the US has been deindustrialization and a shift to service sector jobs, while developing countries have experienced rapid industrialization and economic growth.

2014 geo fest dixon 3
This document discusses the importance of geography education. It notes that fewer than 10% of college students study abroad or geography. Studying geography can broaden perspectives on how other countries view the US. The document provides suggestions for good geography teaching, including:
1) Providing geographic information using data, maps and technology
2) Teaching geographic concepts
3) Using data, maps and geospatial technology
4) Asking questions that encourage spatial thinking to develop geographic literacy and understand our complex, interconnected world.
Urbanization and Race
Suburbanization in the United States greatly accelerated after World War II due to several factors: (1) the Federal Highway Act of 1956 funded the construction of an extensive interstate highway system, increasing accessibility to suburban areas; (2) large-scale developers mass-produced affordable single-family homes on cheap land in the suburbs; and (3) social trends like the postwar baby boom and preference for the suburban lifestyle drove demand for suburban housing. Transportation infrastructure and housing policies were the primary drivers of suburban growth in this period.
Von Thunen
This document discusses Johann von Thunen's model of agricultural land use. The model predicts concentric rings of agricultural activity radiating out from a central market city, with the most intensive, perishable crops closest to market and more extensive livestock grazing further out. Factors like transportation costs, land costs, and climate determine which crops are grown in each ring. The document applies the model to different geographic contexts and discusses how transportation changes like rivers and railroads would impact the model's predictions. It also compares the model to real-world agricultural land use patterns.
Chi Tex Globalization
This document discusses geography education in the era of globalization and how to help students understand an increasingly interconnected world. It argues that teachers should (1) provide geographic information, (2) teach geographic concepts, (3) use data, maps and geospatial technology, and (4) ask questions that encourage spatial thinking in order to develop students' geographic literacy. The document emphasizes that while globalization has increased connections between people and places, geography still matters because place, location and spatial relationships help explain why things are where they are.
The Importance of Geography Education in the Era of Globalization
This document discusses how geography education needs to adapt to the era of globalization. It argues that while globalization has made the world more interconnected, place and geographic context still matter. It provides four recommendations for effective geography teaching: 1) provide geographic information, 2) teach geographic concepts, 3) use data, maps and geospatial technology, and 4) ask questions that encourage spatial thinking in order to help students understand our complex and interconnected world. The document is written by Seth Dixon from Rhode Island College and is found on the website geographyeducation.org.

Choices Program-China 2014
Presentation given at Brown University for the Choice Program's workshop on understanding contemporary China through a geographic lens.
Primate Cities: Mexico City
Mexico City is disproportionately large compared to other cities in Mexico, with over twice the population of the next largest city. As the cultural and political center of Mexico, it is the hub for national economics and development. While Mexico City solves some problems as the primate city, it also creates many issues and its size presents mixed outcomes as a national economic strategy.
Supranationalism
Centripetal forces keep countries together by promoting unity, such as nationalism through shared language, religion, and culture. They also include unifying institutions like schools and media, as well as common threats that unite people against a shared enemy. Transportation and communication infrastructure also bind a country together by connecting different regions. Centrifugal forces break countries apart by promoting division along ethnic, economic, or spatial lines and include the rise of subnational and regional identities that want more autonomy. Devolution is the transfer of powers from a central government to local governments and can happen gradually over time or cause a state to break up.
Population Policies
This document discusses various population policies implemented by different countries, including pro-natalist and anti-natalist policies. It provides examples of pro-natalist policies from the USSR, Germany, Albania, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and Iran. Many countries implemented pro-natalist policies like motherhood medals to encourage high fertility rates after periods of war or declining birth rates. Recent pro-natalist policies in Russia, Japan, and Singapore include financial incentives for families with multiple children.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used.
