Outline of culture

Chapter 4: Folk and Popular Culture Geographers ask why differences in cultures exist and how social customs are related to the cultural landscape. Geographers look at culture as a group?s values, material artifacts, and political institutions. Culture can be distinguished from habit and custom: Habit- A repetitive act that one does. Custom- A repetitive act that a group does, performed to the extent that it becomes a characteristic of that group. Material Culture falls into two basic categories: Folk Culture- Traditions practiced by primarily a small group living in isolated rural areas. Popular Culture- Traditions found in large societies that share certain habits. Key Issue 1: Where do Folk and Popular Cultures Originate and Diffuse?

Semester Final Study Guide 1 Geography was initially used for explorers, travelers, sailors. Mapmaking (cartography) was the 1st field in geography. 2 Global positioning systems use an integrated system of satellites to help locate places on the Earth accurately. 3 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use layers of information to describe features on the Earth?s surface and help clarify spatial relationships. 4 The term for human-induced changes on the environment is Anthropogenic 5 Sustainability means that future generations as well as current populations will have enough resources to meet their needs. 6 Geographic scale refers to a hierarchy of spaces, like neighborhood, city, county, state, etc.
