Unit Summary



This unit shows how culture makes a huge imprint on geography. Culture is part of a person's identity and that spreads out into different categories. There are thousands of maps that show different elements of culture and there is no way to put it on one map, but even a simple world map can show elements of culture. Through topoyms and other indicators. The unit set out to show us how cultures are started, diffused, and how they help shape human relationships.

The four sub-topics gave four different break downs of these elements of cultures. It's important to pull how culture and geography are related from this unit. Knowing the difference between different types of cultures and their different traits helps in an overall understanding of this unit also. The college board wants students to have a strong understanding of the concept of culture and its components.
