Human Geo

Today in class we talked about cultural regions.  Cultural regions means culture, body of customary beliefs, material traits, and social forms that together constitute the district tradition of a group of people.
Then we talked about agriculture.  Agriculture is the term for the growing living material at a much larger scale than in a test tube.  the origin of the word culture is the latin cultus, which means " to care for".  Culture is a complex concept because "to care for" something has 2 different meanings.
To care about: To adore/worship something as in modern world cultus.
To take care of: to nurse or look after something.  As in modern cultures.
Ideas and beliefs, and values:  What makes people different.
Then we talked about the regions and got into groups of three and would split them up and we would describe the regions.  We only got 3 done so I will finish them up next class and right about them all at once.
