Human geography

in Cronulla, New South Wales, Australia. The Wall is the native name given to the area between North Cronulla Beach and Elouera. In geography lessons, year 10 have been learning about coastal management. We have gone through topics such as coastal landforms, transportation processes, and processes of coastal erosion so we went to Cronulla Beach to carry out some fieldwork activities…

As the book starts out it emphasis on the five themes. The first categories is local and global. To describe global they are core countries that located just about anywhere. Most times global are wealthy people who spread out amongst the country. Whereas, locals are the people who grew up in a local town and carry traditions out from the past. The locals are people who grew up among their community and don’t communicate with other countries do to they were never taught to go out among other…

Massey says that she was angry because she believes that space is actually what matters for geography; however, philosophers and social scientists made the space into a residual dimension. The over-focusing of time instead of space is the factor that Massey is angry about; she believes that space has dynamic and three-dimensional. Space changes the way of human beings’ lives. People cannot just simply consider space and flat and describe it without its context. 2. Massey says that space is “the…

An evolving industrialized nation can sprout both negative and positive effects. Technology continues to progress through time and evolve our species, but its triumphs can bring chaos when put into the hands of an immoral individual. For example, Richard Reid, also known as the infamous “Shoe-Bomber”, used his expertise with technology to craft an improvised explosive device (IED) to attempt to kill 197 passengers on American Airlines Flight 63 (Shoe bomber NBC). Technology continues to adapt…

differences in intelligence among the respective populace of nations, but rather it came down to a chain of events that proved to serve them differently. The outcomes of their success with development are based mostly on differences in circumstance and geography, little of which seemed to be in their foresight or control. In light of this and after…

physical and cultural aspects of Africa’s geography make it prone to these types of outbreaks. Angola has had 277 people die from yellow fever since this past December (Kupferschmidt). And the government of Angola has had a hard time stemming new infections for several reasons. The main reason is because of a shortage of the yellow…

As a small country, without the global supply chain, NZ would not be creating or selling the large variety of goods that are available to us on a daily basis. Globalisation opens the door to an extended market and range of different products and services that suit a variety of different demands. Businesses seek to gain a competitive advantage over others in the market, by constantly following and keeping up with ever changing consumer demands (Cattaneo et al., 2016). In order to achieve this,…

As technology rapidly developed in the past centuries, trade globalization accelerated. Global trade becomes economically and politically important to all countries. As more and more developing and low-income countries enter into the global integration, there is always an ongoing debate on the relationship between globalization and…

The coastal areas in the Gulf Coast, West Coast, and East Coast of the United States are densely inhabited regions that are also strategically important for the US economy through their contribution to industries such as of tourism, fisheries, recreation, and oil and gas. Several diverse natural and anthropogenic disturbances can affect the quality of life and economic productivity of the US coastal regions, e.g., erosion, pollution, and sedimentation [1]. The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands…

Do the coastal defences at Dawlish Warren have a significantly larger impact on coastal processes than at Slapton Sands? Throughout this independent enquiry I will be examining the structure and location of the majority of the coastal defences at two drift aligned depositional landforms on the South Devon coastline; Dawlish Warren (the geographer online)1 and Slapton Sands (Chadwick et al, 2005)2. In particular, the success of the defences placed at these two landforms will be compared by…
