Students,
Today we talked about Culture, and the three ways we can divide aspects of culture into regions.
Formal Regions: are regions based on facts, they can be proven with data. Political boundaries, climate regions, and to some extent culture can be mapped by formal regions.
Functional: These regions have a use. They are linked or connected in someway. We looked at several examples of functional maps including; street maps, water pipeline diagrams, and even power grid maps.
Perceptual: This is a region that is based on ideas and feelings. This was the region with a huge grey area where it was very easy to cross into the offensive and politically incorrect territory. So be hyper-aware when we discuss these types of regions and be mindful that you do not offend anyone near by. These regions thrive on stereotypes remember our example of Pauly D from Jersey Shore.
There will be no documents uploaded tonight, as all relevant information from the Power Point can be found above.
Announcements: Six weeks grades are final today. Test on Wednesday.
Looking Forward: We will be discussing globalization and in particular how it can affect culture.
