The geographically informed person must understand how humans are able to live in various physical settings and the role the physical features of those settings play in shaping human activity. Regardless of spatial scale, Earth's surface is diverse in terms of climates, vegetation, fauna, soils, underlying geology, and topography. That diversity offers a range of environmental contexts where people can live and work. Physical systems and environmental characteristics do not, by themselves, determine the patterns of human activity; however, they do influence and constrain the choices people make.
Therefore, Standard 15 contains these themes: Environmental Opportunities and Constraints, Environmental Hazards, and Adaptation to the Environment.
To live in any physical environment, no matter how accommodating or how challenging, people must develop ways to take advantage of its opportunities and minimize its risks. If the incentives are great enough, people can adapt to the harshest of environments, often regardless of cost or risk.
A concept central to understanding environments is the idea of carrying capacity: the maximum number of animals and/or people a given area can support at a given time under specified levels of consumption without incurring significant environmental deterioration. Environments vary in their carrying capacities. Failure to recognize that reality can lead to environmental disaster. Increasingly, people are recognizing their responsibility to manage the environment in ways that are sustainable for future generations.

Answer: To some people they discriminate this off of religion. Like christians, they follow the rule of Adam and Eve; the first man and woman on earth. They ONLY focused on Adam and Eve. I would think there were more people on earth back then; not just Adam and Eve, with more than one gender but I guess according to christians, this didn't exist. So christians today only follow stuff from a book that was written thousands years ago. once a person doesn't follow that path of god, they are now a person of the devil. Now taking religion out of it, this is taught through a family or friends perspective and sometimes society on why this is wrong
