Welcome to World Geography
Why Study Geography?
It’s more than maps. Geography’s about knowing what’s where, why it’s there, and why it matters. Knowing geography will make your life more interesting, more exciting, and more fun. Geography opens doors. Geography can take you anywhere and everywhere. One of the hottest fields now is Geographic Information Systems. And it’s about understanding and tackling challenges—globally and close to home. An adequate understanding of world geography, including having some geographic literacy, is very important in this era of ever-increasing globalization, internationalization, and global interconnectedness via the global economy. As cultural, political, and economic globalization increase, people need to be aware of geography and how it plays a critical role in these processes.
