A world connected by geography
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A complex integrated society that can be seen at once
The most certain beginning, geography
This book explains the 'geography' section of 'Integrated Society' in a more easy and fun way.
Geography is a discipline that studies and learns about everything on earth, and is not simply a subject that studies the natural environment.
It is a discipline that informs us not only about the impact of nature on humans, but also about our lives as global citizens.
Because of this importance, it has become a key subject in higher education and is expected to become a core area of "Integrated Social Studies" in the College Scholastic Ability Test.
Before preparing for the exam, this book provides an opportunity to develop knowledge and general understanding of geography.

preface
Chapter 1.
Our daily lives are filled with geography.
-How much does geography affect your day?
-Our fate is already decided by where we are born.
-Which country starts the day first with 24 hours?
-There are countries where you can't choose which season is best among spring, summer, fall, and winter.
-The reason why Britain looks much bigger than our country is because the map is deceiving us.
Chapter 2.
A Mosaic World: A World Created Together by Nature and Humans
-What kind of job did Köppen have that led him to classify the world's climates?
-Why does Tarzan climb tree trunks instead of walking?
-Why did Europeans choose bread over rice?
-There are countries where you have to pay a fine for washing your car or watering your lawn.
-When the warm spring comes, I'm more worried that the house will collapse than excited that flowers will bloom.
-I hit the jackpot selling electric blankets in the hot desert.
-More than half of the world's population lives in Asia because of the weather.
-The river flows to the sea, leaving traces everywhere.
-How did waves create such beautiful sculptures around the world?
-Why are the shapes of the same caves completely different?
-Does nature determine our lives? Do we use nature?
If bees disappear, humans could disappear too.
Signs that the Earth is sick are appearing all over the world.
Chapter 3.
A global citizen in a networked world, where everything is connected.
-Why are the buildings tall in cities and low in the countryside?
-How did all those downtown shopping malls close, leaving only empty buildings?
The day is coming when you can take an international bus as easily as you can take an intercity bus.
-The capital of a country is fixed, but what is the capital of the Earth?
-Is there a place in the world without M Company's hamburgers and C Company's sodas?
-Why do we have to hear stories of fighting on the news every morning?
It took 127 years for the population to double, but now it can be done in 48 years.
-Why do people gather and gather in only certain places on this vast earth?
-Is the problem that too many people are born, or is the problem that too few people are born?
-Was oil as essential to human life 50 years ago as it is now?
As the temperature in the classroom drops, the temperature outside rises.
-Now is the time to prepare for life as a global citizen.

Into the book
Due to the revision of the 2028 College Scholastic Ability Test, all students will be required to study geography, general social studies, and ethics.
Previously, students only had to choose two subjects out of the nine social studies subjects, but with the abolition of elective subjects, they now have to study all three subjects.
While this situation may be burdensome for some, it may be an opportunity for others.
I think it ultimately depends on how you feel about it.
If you prepare for the College Scholastic Ability Test in advance with the mindset that it's better to study a variety of subjects in a fun and informative way than to study a single subject in depth, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for you.
--- From the “Preface” of the main text
History is a discipline that tells us about the changes in human society up to now.
Economics is the study of how money and goods are produced, distributed, and consumed, and ethics is the study of how to determine the right behavior and good life for humans.
So what does geography teach? It's okay if it doesn't immediately come to mind.
Geography is the discipline closest to you, so it is a study that you can approach with familiarity, even though you cannot express it in words.
Geography is the analysis of various phenomena occurring on land, and since we humans live on land, geography and our lives are inevitably directly related.
--- p.15
In geography, we teach climate because we can't tell you or teach you what the weather will be like today or tomorrow.
If you think August in Rome, Italy is hot and dry, you'll find that it's quite cool just by staying in the shade.
If so, it's logical to assume that they might not have air conditioning in their homes like we do, which is why we learn geography.
--- pp.55~56
An individual's existence grows within a small society called a family, and in the process, they exert influence on their neighbors and local community.
And at some point, we become citizens of a country, citizens of humanity, and grow as global citizens, as 'me' within humanity.
A global citizen is a member of society in the broadest sense, transcending the boundaries of a single region or country to influence and participate in decision-making across the globe.
That is, it means that I am an individual who respects the diverse cultures and values of the global village and pursues understanding and cooperation among the members of the Earth.
