Cultural Patterns and Processes (Cultural Geography)
This unit examines the impact of language and religion as two predominant aspects of culture. Music and food play an important role in culture as well. When determining regions, culture plays a major role. What are the differences between pop and folk culture? What role does culture play in the physical landscape? Many times, cultures segregate themselves voluntarily based on language and/or religion. This separation and concentration leads to our final unit in this course: urbanization. The congregation of ethnic groups can occur either in urban centers of national prominence or in rural hamlets where agriculture is the dominant force of economic activity. However, ethnicities congregate due to the ease of transition when migrating between cultures.
