Description:

The objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the geographical mosaic of ways of life on the Earth, "traditional" and "modern," "underdeveloped" and "developed." A space-time approach is adopted to consider the relationship between human beings and the natural environment and to describe the development of technology as a factor in the evaluation and use of earth resources. Commencing with the "clean slate" of the natural earth, the course describes human evolution on the planet and the various technological stages and their repercussions through which mankind has "progressed": the Old Stone Age way of life; the emergence of the Neolithic agricultural revolution and traditional farming; the modern Technological Revolution and the problems it has brought; the population explosion and hunger; and the disparity between the "have" and "have not" nations of the world.
