Cultural Geography
Cultural geography is also known as human geography. It focuses on people, how they live, and how they interact with their environment and each other.
In this module, you studied different ways groups of people organize themselves. You learned that cultural geography results from many factors. This includes religion, language, ethnicity, political beliefs, and economics. You also studied how cultural regions range in size. For example, some ethnic neighborhoods are small, while some international organizations are large.
Geographers study cultural and political regions by analyzing demographic data. Types of demographic data include birth rate, GDP, literacy rate, and population growth. This information allows geographers to determine population and human migration trends.
