Undergraduate / "Why is geography important?" - it is globalized [3]

Have you ever asked "Why is geography important?" Geography is important because it is globalized. Geography in the 21st century is becoming more and more essential for our everyday life. Now in the 21st century more jobs are requiring you to have basic geography skills if not advance skills. Other reasons are culture and climate those do a lot to our everyday life especially for a 21st century citizen.

For 21st century citizen basic map skills is a major way to get around and if you are needed in a place you might not go because of poor map skills or you might end up lost. One of the most important skills is building and using mental map. I use my mental map every day in school when changing classes if I didn't I wouldn't be able to find the way to my next class. Without mental maps it is much harder to travel around. Mental maps are different from each other each person makes his own mental map from their spatial Perspective.

Culture is most globalized in geography. In the 21st century the United States of America welcomed the most immigrants. When those immigrants came to the USA people learned others aspects and beliefs. Some people even exchanged some cultural elements such as food, dress, and even religion. Culture helps us understand the ways of other people so we can leave in peace. People can exchange cultural elements by vesting other countries so that we won't result in conflict and then we'll get cultural globalizations.

So finely the climate. It would be a shame not to know the average temperature in the spheres then you would take a vacation in the wrong place. There have been a lot of effects of humans on the environment there is positive and negative effects. Some of the effects are recycling, not polluting rivers and water, polluting, electricity generation, nuclear power, manufactured products, wind power, pesticides and so on. Global worming have been increasing and decreasing in different places. But it has increased in general.

So in conclusion mental maps help you get around faster and better, Culture help us get along with others and understand them, and climate helps you know the temperature. So without geography we would not be able to live well. If people did not get along with others and did not understand them it would properly cause a war.
