Cultural Geography

Today we started a new section in Human Geography. We started the section called cultural geography. We learned a lot from the power point for example cultural characteristics are part of every groups every day life. We also learned that some of these characteristics can link or divide a culture or region. Some of theses characteristics could be like language, region, or ethnic heritage. We learned about language and how it can affect the culture. For example English is the language of business. If you want to talk to an country around the world about business, then English is one of the most used language. Its not really like that because its polite to speak the other cultures language, but its because English has just become the business language. So language is a big part of each and every culture. We also found out what most people in the U.S. call soft drinks. A lot call them pop but around where we live we just call it soda. Others call all of the sodas coke which seems confusing.  This is what we learned in Human Geography class today.
