    Learning to Drive the Yukon River: Western Cartography and Athapaskan Story Maps by David Neufeld discusses the “frustrations resulting from the necessity of living an eternal compromise” (Neufeld 17) between Northern Athapaskan and Western perception of nature in the form of cartography. Neufeld then presents that “maps have a social purpose: their design and use is not only embedded within the culture creating them, but they reflect and support the social traditions of that culture” (Neufeld 33). He then analyzes a scientifically produced map from “an American military expedition in the 1880s” (Neufeld 25).

The book describes climate as three different types of interdependence in a situation: promotive, competitive, and individualistic, all of which represent areas found in climate analyses. The climate or mood is what shapes conflict when we are interacting with others. It’s the main ingredient that causes people to act in the ways that are conducive to their environment.

    130 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, geography affects culture by creating a specific sense of peace, love of visitors, and despising of machines for the Hobbits. The Hobbits’ love for the unknown is rather unanticipated because their surroundings are familiar. However; Bilbo is very friendly to anyone, even people he has never met before. This is “because [he] never [has] any adventures or [does] anything unexpected,” (2). He only notices the good aspects in life, simply because he has yet to experience the bad.

    1027 Words  | 5 Pages

    Physical geographers apply the positivist approach in trying to understand the physical world. Bennett defines positivism as “a philosophy of meaning, of what you say that something is true, when you offer it as something which others must also accept because it is, according to some allegedly neutral standard true” (2009, 310). In this paper the way in which geographers use the positivist theory to understand the physical world will be discussed along with the advantages and limitations of using this method. There are a host of factors involved in the positivistic approach to physical geography. Physical geography is viewed by many as being hands on work with less theory.
