This document provides an overview of North America, including its physical geography, population distribution, urbanization trends, cultural diversity, geopolitics, and economy. Some key points:
- The region has diverse physiographic provinces and varied climate zones influenced by latitude and proximity to oceans/mountains. Population is concentrated along the coasts and in the Midwest.
- Cities first grew around ports and along transportation routes. Urbanization accelerated with each new transportation technology, leading to sprawl and edge cities. Gentrification and counterurbanization have also impacted urban areas.
- North America experienced waves of immigration over time that have made it a culturally diverse region, including indigenous populations, colonial settlers, and migrants from Asia
This document discusses globalization, population change, and migration. It provides information on:
1. Population growth over the last 100 years, with the global population now over 7 billion, and high growth rates in Asia and Africa. Population growth puts pressure on resources.
2. Population change is influenced by birth rates and death rates, known as natural change, as well as migration. Migration moves people across borders and influences the mixing of cultures.
3. The Demographic Transition Model shows how countries transition from high birth and death rates to lower rates as they develop economically. It illustrates changes over time and between countries.
This document discusses different types of migration to Europe, including Lee's push-pull migration model. It provides examples of push factors like expensive housing and anti-social behavior that might drive British migration to Spain, as well as pull factors like weather and expat communities. Current migration trends to Europe include both illegal immigration focused along southern borders, with many migrants dying in desert crossings, as well as asylum seekers primarily from the Middle East and countries with political and ethnic difficulties.
The document provides a summary of chapter 6 from the textbook "World Regions in Global Context: Peoples, Places, and Environments" which discusses the United States and Canada. It covers the countries' geography, climate, history of settlement and colonization, population patterns, cultural diversity, internal migration trends, transforming economies, and persisting social issues.
The document provides an overview of the topography, human geography, settlement patterns, and economic activities of the Appalachian and Ozarks regions. It describes the mountainous terrain and the isolation it promoted. Scots-Irish and German immigrants were the earliest settlers. While agriculture and mining were important economically, poverty rates were high due to the rugged landscape. Coal mining was a major industry until recent decades. TVA and ARC promoted infrastructure and economic development projects to alleviate poverty.
This document discusses globalization and what it means. Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness between countries through factors like trade, technology, capital flows, and cultural exchange. It has both benefits like spreading wealth and mixing cultures, but also drawbacks like environmental exploitation and uneven impacts on migration. The definition from the IMF is provided, which describes globalization as the growing economic interdependence between countries through increasing cross-border transactions, capital flows, and technology diffusion. A brief history of globalization is also given, highlighting milestones from Columbus' voyage to modern international organizations and global connections that few today can avoid.
The document summarizes changes in the American South from the early colonial period to modern times in three parts:
1) It describes the early South as dominated by agriculture, slavery, and racial segregation. Plantations and sharecropping were common. The region was largely rural with little industry.
2) After the Civil War, the South struggled economically and became further isolated. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation. The boll weevil infestation and Great Migration reduced the black population. New industries like textiles emerged.
3) Since World War II, the South has urbanized, diversified its economy beyond agriculture, and dismantled legal segregation. Manufacturing and service industries now pre
Industrial development in South Carolina lagged behind the rest of the United States due to the planter elite's opposition to industry and preference for reviving the old South. The textile industry became important in South Carolina, with mills located near cotton fields and rivers. Mill villages provided housing and other amenities to attract poor farmers and laborers, though African Americans were excluded from traditional mill jobs. While mills offered employment, conditions were difficult, with long hours, low pay, diseases from the work environment, and accidents. Unions faced opposition from mill owners backed by the government. South Carolina later attracted northern mills by offering cheaper non-union labor and resources like phosphate rock and lumber.

The document discusses the political and geographical factors that led different British colonies in North America to unite and form the country of Canada. It notes that the colonies varied greatly in size, with the largest being Quebec and the smallest being Prince Edward Island. The document also examines why English and French were chosen as the official languages, given the diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds of Canadians at the time.
The document provides an overview and review for a final exam on Canadian history. It includes reminders for the exam, summaries of the chapters to be covered, and sample exam questions. The chapters cover topics like early colonial development, Confederation, Western expansion, and the growth of Canada's economy.

The document discusses the key factors that influenced westward expansion in the United States, including geographic obstacles, technologies, policies, and the social and economic impacts. It addresses how physical features, climate, resources, railroads, and the Homestead Act affected travel and settlement. It also examines conflicts between miners, farmers, ranchers, and various ethnic groups, as well as the effects of expansion on Native Americans, including land disputes, warfare, and changes in federal policy.
The document discusses the impact of globalization and technology on the rise of global cities and urbanization trends. It notes that cities, not states, are emerging as the dominant centers of governance and economic activity. Megacities over 10 million people are growing rapidly, particularly in Asia and other developing regions. However, very large cities also face challenges around inequality, infrastructure, and quality of life. The future will see continued competition between global cities and new models of urban development.
This document discusses immigration and urbanization in the late 19th century United States. Millions of immigrants came from Europe and Asia for opportunities and freedom. They faced difficult conditions upon arrival and living in crowded cities. As more moved to cities, urban populations boomed, creating demand for new infrastructure, housing, and industries. This led to the growth of a middle class and new developments in arts, entertainment, and religion.
The document discusses the settlement of the American West between 1850-1890. It addresses several key factors that influenced western expansion, including the discovery of gold and silver, the growth of the cattle industry, and the construction of transcontinental railroads. While often mythologized as a period of rugged individualism, the settlement of the West relied heavily on governmental programs and infrastructure development to encourage westward migration and connect the region with eastern markets.
The document summarizes key regions of the United States, including the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. It describes how physical geography has influenced the economy and development of each region. The Northeast was an early leader in industry, powered by water resources. The South's warm climate and fertile soils supported agriculture and plantations. Abundant resources like coal and rivers promoted industry in the Midwest. Water availability affects the economies and populations in the diverse landscapes of the Western United States.
DeWitt Clinton was the 6th governor of New York looking to make the state the most prosperous in the nation. Currently, New Orleans was the top commercial center in the US. To transform New York, Clinton proposed and oversaw the construction of the Erie Canal, which opened in 1825. The Erie Canal connected the Hudson River and Great Lakes, allowing for easier transport of goods between the Midwest and East Coast markets through New York. This made New York City the new commercial hub and center of trade, increasing New York's prosperity greatly.

Urbanization in America increased dramatically between 1800 and 1900. In 1800, only 300,000 people lived in urban areas, but by 1900 that number had grown to 30 million. One driver of urban growth was increased agricultural productivity which freed up workers. Cities offered amenities like electricity, public transportation, and cultural institutions that rural areas lacked. However, rapid urbanization also increased problems like overcrowding, disease, pollution and crime.

This document is a chapter from a history textbook about the transformation of the American economy between 1815-1848. It discusses several key developments during this period:
1) The emergence of a national market system and how technological innovations changed agriculture, transportation, and communication. The expansion of roads, canals, steamboats and railroads helped integrate the economy.
2) The growth and impact of industrialization, especially in the Northeast. New factory systems emerged and the text discusses the early experiments with the Lowell system of production.
3) Changes in urban and rural life, including immigration patterns to cities, the development of new urban areas, and the living conditions of urban workers.

The document provides an overview of the Agricultural Core region of North America. It discusses the following key points in 3 sentences:
The Agricultural Core spans the interior plains region of eastern North America, characterized by family farms, dispersed rural settlements, and clustered urban areas. The region has a humid continental climate with fertile soils like mollisols that support grain production, especially corn. The development of the region was driven by factors like the accessibility of waterways for transport, the use of the township and range survey system, and shifts from wheat to corn and mixed farming.
Canada was transitioning from a rural, extraction-based economy to a more urbanized and industrialized society at the turn of the 20th century. The Conservative and Liberal parties had different approaches to issues like trade policy, western settlement, and national unity. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals pursued policies to encourage immigration and agricultural settlement of the Prairies. Economic growth was spurred by mining rushes like the Klondike Gold Rush, development of industries like lumber, and the building of railroads. However, this period also saw the rise of inequality between wealthy industrialists and a growing urban working class living in poverty.
The document summarizes the key characteristics of the three colonial regions in British North America: New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colonies had rocky soil, cold winters, and focused on fishing, shipbuilding, and trade. The Middle colonies had good farmland, rivers, and a moderate climate and economy centered around livestock, grain, and skilled labor. The Southern colonies had warm weather, fertile soil ideal for plantation agriculture using slave labor and cash crops like tobacco.
The document provides an overview of social, economic, and political changes in the United States during the 1920s. It was an era of rapid change as traditional rural values clashed with new urban lifestyles. The economy experienced rapid growth and prosperity led by new industries like automobiles and consumerism. However, there was also conflict as some Americans feared the loss of traditional values and groups like immigrants, African Americans, and women seeking greater freedoms. The period saw both social liberalism embodied by flappers and a rise in religious fundamentalism defending traditional values.
Wal-Mart announced it will increase its minimum wage to $9 an hour and give current employees a bonus. The wage increase will benefit approximately 500,000 U.S. Wal-Mart employees and cost the company $1 billion per year. The move comes as many large U.S. retailers face criticism for paying low wages and as the federal minimum wage debate continues.
This document discusses the urbanization of New York City between 1865-1898. It describes how New York saw a financial boom after the Civil War driven by industries like oil, steel, and railroads. Political corruption flourished under Boss Tweed, who embezzled over $50 million for city projects. The gap between wealthy and poor New Yorkers widened significantly during this period. Immigration increased dramatically, filling up tenement housing in poor conditions.
The document provides an overview of Chapter 3 from the textbook "America: Pathways to the Present". It covers four main sections: 1) An Empire and Its Colonies, discussing how the English Civil War and mercantilism impacted colonial development. 2) Life in Colonial America, describing colonial society, occupations, education, and women's roles. 3) African Americans in the Colonies, focusing on slavery, the Middle Passage, and laws controlling slaves. 4) Emerging Tensions, covering western expansion, reactions from Native Americans and the French, and religious tensions in the colonies. Assessment questions are included at the end of each section.
The document provides an overview of the Canadian historical experience from early European exploration and settlement to modern times. It discusses key events and periods that have shaped Canada's identity, including the French and British colonial periods, tensions between French and English communities, the American Revolutionary War, waves of immigration, the development of national policies like official bilingualism, and Canada's relationship with the United States. The overall theme is how Canada's history, with its mix of French, British, indigenous, and immigrant influences in North America, has led to its status as a distinct society from the United States.
1) Chin emigrated from China to California during the Gold Rush, dug for gold for two years, saved money, and returned to China before becoming restless and returning to California where he opened a restaurant with his cousins.
2) The Little Ice Age was a period of cooling between 1550-1850 AD in which glaciers advanced and temperatures dropped in Europe and North America, resulting in famine and hardship.
3) The 1803 Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States as it acquired French territory west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

7. Physical geography of North America
Let’s take a little tour of the diversity in this region….

The Grand Canyon
8. A ―river‖ in Idaho
Would this be considered a river in South
8 Carolina?
San Diego Coast
Would you be willing to live in that
house on top of the bluff?
10. Stewart Falls, UT
These photos are taken in April of the
meltwater that runs off the Timpanogos
glacier. It is cold enough that the ice
reforms at the foot of the falls.

What is the continental divide? What is it’s significance today in North America?
16. Case Study: Ogallala Aquifer
Importance of this
underground body of water—
makes agriculture possible in
semi-arid area.
Discovery of this
ground water turned
the Dust Bowl of the
1930’s into the
―Bread Basket‖
today. But it is
running out. How is
this going to change
farming?

So…The US has lots of coal, BUT not all of it is coal that is
“good”. Anthracite burns the cleanest, but is the most rare.
You can see there that we have lots of mid-grade coal.
20. Centralia, PA – modern ghost town
This is an example of underground mining. The vein of ore
has caught on fire and changed the surface and make it
nearly impossible for humans to live there,
20
23. • Anthropogenic landscape
Modified by humans
• Surface and strip mining
• Effects:
Surface and subsurface drainage
patterns are altered.
Destroys vegetation
Acidic subsoil now on top
Erosion
Aesthetic value

These pictures show the area
around the Bingham Copper
Mine in the Salt Lake Valley
24. Bingham copper mine,
Salt Lake Valley
An example of surface mining, also known
as Mountain Top Removal. Notice the scale
of the land removed. It is actually 7 open
pits. Said to be 1 of 2 man-made features
to be visible from space. The other is the
Great Wall of China.
24
25. Bingham Copper Mine,
Salt Lake Valley
• Copper, gold, silver and molybdenum
• 15 billion tons moved
• Pit 2600 ft deep and 2.5 miles wide.
• Copper in industry
33 years of reserves left globally
We know the cost of mining, but we
continue to do it because we need
the materials. What if the
materials run out? Copper is used
in electronics bc it is conductive.
Next most conductive metal is gold.
How will this change the price of
modern technology?
25
27. Population and Settlement
How would you describe the settlement pattern? Which areas are most
populated and why? Why are some areas more sparse?
27
28. Occupying the land
• Stage 1: 1600–1750:
Colonial footholds on
East Coast
• Stage 2: 1750–1850:
Infilling better eastern
farmland; Canadian
settlement slower
• Stage 3: 1850–1910:
Westward movement
for gold rushes and
other opportunities
FIGURE 3.10 European Settlement Expansion
31. History
1565—St. Augustine, FL (Spanish)
1607—Jamestown, VA (British)
1608—Quebec, CAN (French)
31
What brought these colonial powers here? What did they hope to find in the
New World? What did they actually find?
32. Growth of the North American City
Stage One:
Pedestrian Era
Stage Two:
Electric Streetcar
Stage Three:
Automobile Era
Stage Four:
Freeway Era
Each change in
transportation
technology changes the
spatial extent of the city.
32
33. How has life in the United
States altered with each
change in transportation
technology? How is life
influenced by the introduction
of the Interstate System?
33
34. Urban Geography
• A sub-disciplin of Human Geography, which looks at the built
environment.
• Urban=City
• Each city is different. Why?
• History of settlement is different, different goals, urban
technology
•
Ex: City founded before or after the electric streetcar.
• Different ethic mix, in part due to migration.
•
Ex: Chinatowns in DC and San Francisco
• Look at how the boundaries have changed
34
35. Urbanization
• Edge Cities:
New suburbs with a mix of retail, office complexes &
entertainment
• Consequences of Urban Sprawl:
Counterurbanization
People and investment flee city for suburbs
Poverty, crime, racial tension in cities
• Gentrification:
Movement of wealthier people to deteriorated inner-city
areas; may displace low income residents
• Suburban downtowns:
Similar to edge cities; suburbs becoming full-service
urban centers with retail, business, education, jobs, etc.
35
44. Rural North America
North Americans historically favored a
dispersed rural settlement pattern
• Township-and-range survey system:
rectangular survey system introduced in
1785 in United States for unincorporated
areas; similar system in Canada
• Railroads opened interior to settlement
• Today, many rural areas are
seeing population declines
as family farms are replaced
by corporate farms
FIGURE 3.19 Iowa Settlement Patterns
These are common cultural landscape
features in central North America.
50. People are attached to local
culture
• California is one of the
largest states in the
union.
• We also have linguistic
diversity:
• Watch this video on
Bootling
• And this one on
Southern dialects
50
51. 51
Obviously this is a humorous view of Canada, but it does
give some insight on how some people see it.
52. What is ―culture‖ North America?
It’s hard to answer this question, because continuing
migration in to the region is constantly changing who we
are and how we define ourselves.

56. The globalization of American culture
North Americans: living globally
43 million foreign-born migrants living in North
America
The global diffusion of U.S. culture
FIGURE 3.26 Annual Beer Imports to the United States, 2002
59. Patterns of Dominance and Division
• Creating political space
United States broke cleanly, violently from Great
Britain; Canada separated peacefully
United States purchased and conquered new lands
Provinces of Great Britain joined Canada
• Continental neighbors
Long boundary between United States and Canada
(5525 mi.)
Cross-boundary issues include water
resources, transportation, environmental quality
Boundary Waters Treaty created International Joint
Commission
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
59
60. Other Geopolitical Issues
• The legacy of federalism
Federal states: those that allocate considerable
power below the national level
Unitary states: those with centralized
power at national level
• Quebec’s challenge
French-speakers once considered
secession
• Native peoples and national politics
FIGURE 3.28 Life in Nunavut
U.S.: Indian Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (1975) and the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act (1988)
Canada: Native Claims Office (1975); Nunavut
Territory created in 1999 (Canada’s newest): 85
percent of Nunavut’s 30,000 residents are Inuit
60
67. Sectors of the economy
Watch a silly little
cartoon to illustrate.
• Primary: natural resource extraction
• Secondary: manufacturing/industrial
• Tertiary: services
• Quaternary: information processing
• Today, tertiary and quaternary activities
employ more than 70% of the U.S. and
Canadian labor force
67
Sectoral transformation:
• The evolution of the nation’s labor force from primary sector
activities to secondary, tertiary and quaternary activities.
• Many in the developing world are going through this
transformation now.
68. Creating a continental economy
Regional economic patterns
Location factors: the varied
influences that explain
why an economic activity
is located where it is
Megalopolis: urbanized
area from Boston to
Washington, D.C., is
historical manufacturing
core
But not all areas are improving—
much industry has left North
America
For example:

69. Persisting social issues
• 21st-century challenges
United States and Canada’s social indicators
compare favorably, but concerns persist
• Jobs, education
• Health care, chronic disease, aging
• Gender gap
