Key Issue 3: Why are different places similar?

Globalization- a process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope.

-The world, geopolitically and economically, has grown more globalized over the past few centuries. While leading to a wider dispersion of funds, and the increased development of nearly every inhabited place on Earth, the globalization of the economy has heightened economic differences among others. The gap between the rich and the poor has increasingly grown wider ( uneven development ). From a cultural standpoint, globalization is a delicate issue. While contributing greatly to increased standards of living globally, especially among LDC’s, the spreading of a uniform, and some argue, “western” culture is destroying some of the most defining cultures in the world.

Distribution- the arrangement of a feature in a space. Density- the frequency with which something occurs. Arithmetic density- the total number of people in an area. Physiological density- the total number of people per unit of arable land. Agricultural density- the total number of farmers per unit of arable land. Concentration- the extent of a feature’s spread over space. Pattern- the geometric arrangement of objects in space. Space-time compression- the reduction in the time it takes for something to reach another place. Distance decay- the farther away one group is from another, the less likely the two groups are to interact. Diffusion- the process by which a characteristic spreads across space. -Innovations spread from the place they originated, hearths. -Two types of Diffusion: -Relocation diffusion is the spread of an idea through the physical movements of people. -Expansion diffusion is the spread of an idea through “snowballing” and is further divided into 3 subgroups: -Hierarchical diffusion is the spread of something through only certain or elite classes of society, such as through a fax machine. -Contagious diffusion is the spread of something rapidly through all levels of society, such a popular fads. -Stimulus diffusion is the spread of an underlying principle, even if a characteristic itself fails to diffuse.

Globalization- a process that involves the entire world and results in making something
worldwide in scope.
-The world, geopolitically and economically, has grown more globalized over the past
few centuries. While leading to a wider dispersion of funds, and the increased
development of nearly every inhabited place on Earth, the globalization of the
economy has heightened economic differences among others. The gap between
the rich and the poor has increasingly grown wider (uneven development). From
a cultural standpoint, globalization is a delicate issue. While contributing
greatly to increased standards of living globally, especially among LDC’s, the
spreading of a uniform, and some argue, “western” culture is destroying some of
the most defining cultures in the world.
Distribution- the arrangement of a feature in a space.
Density- the frequency with which something occurs.
Arithmetic density- the total number of people in an area.
Physiological density- the total number of people per unit of arable land.
Agricultural density- the total number of farmers per unit of arable land.
Concentration- the extent of a feature’s spread over space.
Pattern- the geometric arrangement of objects in space.
Space-time compression- the reduction in the time it takes for something to reach another
place.
Distance decay- the farther away one group is from another, the less likely the two
groups are to interact.
Diffusion- the process by which a characteristic spreads across space.
-Innovations spread from the place they originated, hearths.
-Two types of Diffusion:
-Relocation diffusion is the spread of an idea through the physical
movements of people.
-Expansion diffusion is the spread of an idea through “snowballing” and is
further divided into 3 subgroups:
-Hierarchical diffusion is the spread of something through only
certain or elite classes of society, such as through a fax machine.
-Contagious diffusion is the spread of something rapidly through
all levels of society, such a popular fads.
-Stimulus diffusion is the spread of an underlying principle, even if
a characteristic itself fails to diffuse.
