We often ask ourselves: What is Culture? Is it Geography? Politics? Art? The Environment? Or is it the way we interact with our family, our friends, our neighbors within our city, state, and country, and outside our borders in foreign lands? As you have probably guessed, it's all of the above, and more. During this course we will map cultural identities by looking at different measurements....including population, new and old technologies, economic development, and how people construct living spaces in cities, towns, and countryside. Although we will move quickly, practically flying through our text, I think you will find each module interesting, filled with unique facts that will leave you saying to yourself, "Wow, I didn't know that.".
