Today in human geo we got to see our test grades and then we talked about our new chapter "Cultural Geography".
We started off by looking at a map of the United States that showed how all over the US. population call "pop" different. Some people like myself and my family call it pop, or sometimes soda. Most people in the north call it pop, for example Minnesota and Chicago. People in the south call it coke, for example Texas and Kentucky. Other people in the west and east call it soda, for example California and New York. We then realized that in Florida there is a lot of different color which represents wether they call it pop, soda, or coke. In Florida this happens because a lot of people move to Florida because of their warm climate, which brings in many different cultures.

Then we moved on to talking about:

Cultural Characteristics


Cultural Characteristics are parts of a groups everyday life. They are the ideas and themes which the group will teach to all members. These same characteristics can also link or divide a region.


Examples of cultural characteristics would be language, religion, and ethnic heritage.
