Culture• Society – a group that shares a geographic
region, a sense of identity, and a culture• Ethnic group – group that shares a language,
customs, and a common heritage. An ethnic group has an identity as a separate group of people within the region where they live.

Cultural Change
• Cultural Diffusion – the spread of people, ideas, practices, and goods from one culture to another.
![Page 8: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cultural Change
• Acculturation – adapting traits from other cultures to your own (ex. wearing jeans instead of traditional garments)
• Cultural contacts – travel & trade, migration

Cultural Barriers/ContactsIn the past…• Natural Barriers (deserts, mountains, rainforest,
oceans)• People’s beliefs – lack of understanding leads to
fear or mistrust (That is why the Chinese built the Great Wall of China)
![Page 11: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cultural Barriers/Contacts
Today…
• Technology helps to overcome barriers (telephone, internet, television)

Culture• Material culture - all physical, tangible
objects made and used by members of a cultural group, such as clothing, building, tools, instruments, furniture, and artwork; visible aspects of culture
• Nonmaterial culture – wide range of tales, songs, lore, beliefs, superstitions, and customs that passes from generation to generation as part of oral or written tradition

of culture• Allows people within a culture to
communicate with each other• Between 3,000 and 6,500 languages
spoken in the world today• Dialect – reflects changes in speech
patterns related to class, region, or other cultural changes (ex. Southern drawl, a Boston accent)

Demography
• The study of populations including birth rates, death rates, and migration.
![Page 20: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
World Population
![Page 21: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
World Population
• World Population 7,152,560,533
March 12, 2014 estimateFrom population clock @ www.census.gov
Scientists estimate the population will be:-8 billion by 2025
![Page 22: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Population Pyramid• A way to analyze population that shows the
age and sex distribution of a population
![Page 23: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Population Distribution• The population pattern or where people live.• The continents are not evenly populated.• 2/3rds of the world’s people live in the zone between 20°N
and 60°N latitude• Most people live where the soil is fertile, water is available
and the climate is favorable for growing crops and raising animals
![Page 24: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Urban-Rural Mix• More than ½ of world’s people live in rural areas• Number is changing rapidly because more people are
moving into cities• 26 giant cities, called megacities, are home to total of
more than 250 million people• Largest is Tokyo, Japan with over 32 million people
![Page 25: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Migration• Push factors – those that cause
people to leave their homeland – Environmental conditions such
as drought or other natural disasters
– War– Persecution of certain groups of
people for ethnic or religious reasons
• More than 1 million Rwandans left their country for other parts of Africa because of civil war in 1994
![Page 26: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Migration
• Pull factors– Draw or attract people
to another location– Countries with good
economic opportunities and high salaries are the likely destinations for migrants
– Favorable climate is another pull factor
![Page 27: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Population Density
• The average number of people living in a square mile.
• Canada – 9 people per square mile• United States – 84 people per square mile• Bangladesh – 2,806 people per square mile
![Page 28: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Population Density
• Comparing States– Alaska - 1 person
per square mile– Kentucky – 107
people per square mile
– New Jersey – 1,170 people per square mile
![Page 29: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Carrying Capacity
• Number of organisms a piece of land can support
• Factors that affect carrying capacity include:– Fertile land– Level of technology
![Page 30: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Zero Population Growth (ZPG)
• When birth and death rates are more or less equal.
• The ending of population growth when birth and death rates are equal.
• This would require an average number of 2.3 children per family.
![Page 31: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Countries with negative natural increase or zero negative increase in population...

Population Growth Rates• Rapid population growth presents many
challenges including:– Producing enough food to feed the growing population– Shortages of clothing and housing– Nonrenewable resources are being used up at a rapid
pace– Pollution– Crime– Three billion people on the planet struggle to survive
on less than $3 a day

Urban Geography
• The study of how people use space in cities.• Urban area develops around a main city called
the central city.• The built-up area around the central city may
include suburbs• Smaller cities with open land between them and
the central city are called exurbs• Together the city, suburbs, and exurbs form a
metropolitan area
![Page 42: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

• Ex. – Boswash – includes Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, & Washington D.C.
![Page 43: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Land Use Patterns
Basic land use patterns found in all cities:• Residential – single-family housing &
apartments• Industrial – manufacturing of goods• Commercial – used for private business
and the buying and selling of retail products• The core of the city is the central business
district (CBD)
![Page 44: Human Geography: People & Places Chapter 4. Section 1 The Elements of Culture.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e015503460f94aeabd6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
