Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.
Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.

B. the Midwest
Explanation:
The people that have German, Polish, and Scandinavian origin in the United States, tend to be concentrated the most in the Midwest region of the country. There's a very simple explanation for this. In the period when there was a policy about settling more toward the west, which in that period was the Midwest, as the settlers were concentrated around the East Coast, there were some very lucrative offers. The people that were going to move in in this region were going to get very large pieces of land for farming for free or for very small price. This attracted lot of people, as they were given the chance to be farmers and start their lives all over again. In Europe, the situation was not the best in Poland, Germany, and Scandinavia in this period, and lot of people were migrating in the US. As they came upon this initiative, they accepted the offer gladly, so almost all of them settled in the Midwest. There were so many people from these countries that settled, that the Germans for example are actually the largest ethnic group of which the people claim ancestry in the United States.
