World GeographyGeography is SO MUCH MORE than just knowing where things are located on a map. Geography is the spatial relationship that everything in the world has to everything else in the world. It is the study of not only the placement of cities and countries across the globe, but how they came to be, why they are there, what they'll look like moving forward, and how they interact with everything around them. I love geography because it doesn't just teach about places, it explains relationships and connections that you probably never knew existed. I am not joking when I say that it is through geography that we can save the world. That is the truth. Over the course of this class, you'll find out how.
