General Education: AA/AS Area V(b); AA/AS Area VI; CSU Area D5; IGETC Area 4E Course Transferable to UC/CSU Hours: 54 hours LEC This course is a global survey of the world's cultural regions. Basic geographic concepts and ideas are used to study and compare people, resources, landscapes, livelihood and economics, and origins across eight major geographic regions. The interaction of countries and regions, their global roles, and the confl icting pressures of cultural diversity versus globalization are presented. The widening gap between more developed and less developed countries is integrated throughout. Cultural and ethnic diversity, as it pertains to the expanding population of the United States, is also a major component.
