Spotlight on Geography

"Geography embraces every fact on Earth every aspect of the composition, occupation, and history of the planet. It is the monitor of our abuse of our environment and our guide to its preservation. As such geography knows no intellectual boundaries. It deserves to sit at the center of any..... education" Washington Post 1990

Why We Study Geography

We all live our lives geographically. Planet Earth is our home. It is awesome, diverse, inspiring and ever changing. Studying geography invites us to participate more fully in the excitement, enjoyment and challenge of this dynamic world. It draws on personal experience, to help us better understand the places we live in, why they matter and how they are connected to a globalized world. Geography draws from across the physical, cultural, economic and political spheres to illuminate key issues for the present and the future, explored at all scales from the personal to the local and the global. Through geography we learn to appreciate the diversity of landscapes, peoples and cultures. Geography is therefore a vital subject resource for 21st century global citizens, enabling us to face questions of what it means to live sustainably in an interdependent world. Geography helps us investigate and to think critically and creatively about the complexities of places, and different views and feelings relating to places.
American Geographical Association (Apr 2007).
