PART II – SHORT RESEARCH PAPER
Write a 2-page double-spaced paper in APA format that addresses the following questions:
· Find a recent geographical example of one of the four geographical themes (Spatial Theme, Areal Studies/Regional Theme, Human/Environment or Man/Land Theme, or Environmental Geography) as discussed this week by researching reference materials (readings, websites, videos) or readings assigned for week 1. Describe this case study with all necessary and relevant geographic information.
· Explain which of the four world geography themes you believe is most relevant in today’s society?
· Why does this study you selected justify your selection of that particular geographic theme as being most important in today’s society (this should be the largest section in your paper)?
Part 3
World geography is often called the “interdisciplinary discipline,” in that it contains parts, methods, ideas, and writings of so many other disciplines. Select three of the areas of geography that listed. Using examples, discuss other aspects of that area that give us reason to use geographical reasons to segment it that way. (For instance, if you select religious geography, use examples from religion to explain how geography helps us understand religion.) Can geography be a useful discipline if it is in fact made up of other parts of other disciplines?
