The World as I See It: A Personal Geography The world is a very large space that consists of different people with different cultures and ethnicities. The world is a complex space that has many unstable factors influencing how it occurs. The world is a big space that allows millions of people clustered regarding minorities and majorities and isolated to exist. The world, from the perspective of the map, is a circular space that consists largely of water and land where the different cultures and ethnicities it supports subsists on. The world is so diverse since it has many different types of people divided regarding race, religions, ethnicities, education, social status

In this space of the U.S, there are many things I need to learn and adapt to since the lifestyle of China and that of the U.S is significantly different. My traditions and beliefs vary significantly from those of the U.S world. In my world, we are all on a train, where in my world I am the driver of the train. However, many obstacles influence other factors of my world. For instance, there is the external issue of scarcity of resources, different religions perspectives about issues in the society and the different ethnicities. My personal world is small compared to the world out there since there are no many differences that diversify us. My world started in China and currently, it is developed in the United States. These two countries form the world most powerful countries in the entire world. However, externally, the countries engage and encounter many wars as they fight over resources and power among others. However, my world changes constantly, as I and others in my world continue the journey of …show more content…
For instance, I believe that my family been a part of the world is due to the close connections we all have heard with time. The people that live in my world, as shown above, include my family, friends, and education. I have so many friends from high school, college and in the society. They are all part of my world. Other minor aspects of my life include singing, sports, hanging with friends, playing video games, and onshore skating among others. I am grateful for all the people and important aspects of my life since they ensure that I am happy and grow economically, socially and physically. My family is a major aspect of my life that influences what I do, where I am going and my
Throughout my review of The Geography of Nowhere by James Kunstler I gave assessments on many different issues. However, for Randal O’Toole’s The Best-Laid Plans I did not. O’Toole sees government as the problem to everything and thinks the whole planning industry should close its doors. However, there is some good to planning and while planning for up to 50 years is advance is a bit too naïve, there may be some good to have broad targets that can be adjusted every five years or so as town and cities grow and change.
Family is the biggest significance in my life, even if I did not have the strongest bond with all my relatives, because I knew I could count on them if I ever needed help. Relatives came from all over the United States to come celebrate with me, so I truly felt special that day.
Growing up, I have always had an interest in geography and thinking about different countries and what makes them the way that they are. I have not been in a geography class since middle school and Human Geography was a class that made me think about things I have never thought of before. The readings of both Kropotkin and Mackinder brought up very interesting points, some that conflict and others that agree. Each author writes in a way that stimulates and makes you think about geography and certain topics in different ways which I find to be very rare in writings from this time period. Discussing Kropotkin’s and Mackinder’s general ideas, points they disagree or agree on, and my own views on the topic will all be discussed in this final paper.
I know that if I am every in a tough situation or I don’t know how to handle a problem, I can always come to my parents for advice to help me figure out what to do. I also know that my brothers will always be there for me if I ever need someone to talk to. My family always has my back in the toughest of times and I am beyond grateful for that. This makes me feel as if I never have to handle a tough situation alone. I am also very grateful that I have good friends that I can confide in and talk to about anything.
Life is all about making decisions. Making the right decision that positively affects yourself and others, and trying your best not to make the wrong choices that may negatively hurt yourself and others. The most important factor in why people choose to do something is of how it affects themselves and the other people around them because the outcome of the decision for them and others, in the end, helps mainly determine the choice for the person or persons. Paragraph #1:
In many ways, Blij emphasizes the fact that geography is constantly and drastically changing. Therefore; we must
In the chapter “Geography Matters”, Thomas C. Foster explains the effect of geography on a story. Geography contributes greatly to themes, symbols, and plot, and most authors prefer to use setting as a general area with a detailed landscape rather than a specific city or landmark. In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, he does not reveal the actual region of America that the man and boy are traveling in, but describes the mountains and eventual beaches of their path. McCarthy might not have revealed their location because it might ruin the reader’s interpretation of the setting. For example, the pair come across a generic “gap” between mountains and this is a turning point because it confirms the man’s planned path to the south.
As I stepped out onto the field, my gaze drifted upward. The sky was speckled with millions of tiny, glittering stars. We were so isolated out here that even the Milky Way was visible. I had never seen it in person before. That’s just one of those things that only happens at camp, the most magical place I know.
I am always feeling grateful. I have always had good health, I have always had a roof over my head and shoes on my feet. I 'm blessed with a family that since always they have put me and my needs before themselves and their needs. My family and I we come from property and we are not ashamed of it. All the money my parents and grandparent made was for me, to feed me, to buy me clothing and toys.
Before the expansion of globalization and integration, a great number of nations existed isolated from other ones. Their cultures and knowledge just prevailed on the borders, which prevented them from discovering other side of planet. As global financial system spread, global communications began to enhance remarkable developments for human’s life. Simultaneously, economic globalization has promoted social diversity in spite of several challenges it poses. This heterogeneity of many realms of society manifests itself in workforce diversity, religious diversity and cosmopolitanism.
Great people to be my friends, teach me, and raise me all culminated into me being who I am and I would thank every person I have been able to call a friend, family, acquaintance, stranger, and any other person that crossed my path. It seems to be a reoccurring theme to say “who I am”, but it’s just the glory of it; finally knowing me and enjoying life and all it has to offer and at such an early stage in my life. I am truly
They have always encouraged me to do my best and strive for the best, they have always supported my positive decisions, and they have always helped me when I’ve been in trouble. My family has been there for me and each other through thick and thin, and I really love them. Their advice, support, and encouragement have incited me to endeavour for the highest possible achievements. My family is my major influence as they have affected my life from the very start of my life in everything I do.
A place where only three have entered, a place that includes creativity, a place that contains memories. You may be shocked to find that I am referring to my bedroom. My bedroom equals my sanctuary, my happy place, and my home well, in a home. My sanctuary is covered with items that describe me and showcase my experiences and all that I love. I am able to come to my sanctuary after a long and hard day to relax.
My family is very inspiring to me. I am very thankful that my parents brought me into this world. Growing up my parents always showed me how exactly things work in life. One of the hardest things that I had to accept was that I could not have everything I wanted. There were times when my parents spoiled me
Living in a diverse world it’s distinction and similarities. The village is a small area with a small population. Life in the village is very basic and traditional while life in the city is full of luxury and modernity. Cities have a large population and it is often noisy and crowded. On the other hand, the lifestyles in villages and urban areas are totally different, but you can hardly find any similarities.
