Location: Position on the Earth's Surface (Absolute/Relative). Geographic study begins with the location of places on the earth. Places have absolute locations that pinpoint them on the earth, and relative locations that place each location in respect to other locations. For example, North Dakota has an absolute location that can be pointed to on any basic map. It also has a relative location in that it has a location within the economic system based on its characteristics and location within the world market. North Dakota has its absolute location's characteristics for soil and climate, yet the success of wheat growing is also related to its location to the edge of more expensive arm land to the east.
Place: Physical and Human Characteristics. Place have physical and human characteristics that make them what they are. Geography emphasizes the understanding of both of these factors and their integration together.
Human/Environment Interactions: Shaping the Landscape. The landscape of the earth is no longer a purely physical feature. Human have impact every area of the earth, but in varying ways. The geography of places is influenced by the degree to which humans have impacted their local environment.
Movement: Humans Interacting on the Earth. The postmodern world is one of great interaction between places. This movement is inherently geographic, whether it is by telecommunications or ship.
Regions: How They Form and Change. The essential geographic feature is the region. A region is any unit of space that is unified by the presence of some characteristic. The Corn Belt, stretching from Indiania to eastern Nebraska, is an area in which corn is a dominating product. The Corn Belt is a region within the United States.

What do you think being in a concentration camp would be like? Write as a diary entery

Sati [7]

Answer:

Dear Diary,

Today, once again I find myself struggling to keep moving forward in this horrendous lifestyle I'm having. I'm in charge of collecting all of the belongings that was once in possession of a Jew. All for the pleasure of the Nazis. I now find myself keeping any money or paper I can find to use as bath tissue for me and my friends. There will never be any words that I can use to describe how horrendous this place and this life is. The feeling of waking up and having someone dead beside you is unthinkable. We all work so hard to just survive one more hour. What will happen in just a few hours is a big mystery for all of us still working. You cannot rely on someone. just when you think you find someone to trust they end up leaving. My only hope is to be able to get food and live through one more day to write in this diary again.

this only works if you are talking about the concentration camps the Jews were sent to by the Nazis.

klemol [59]

A nation's "sovereignty" allows it to exercise its political power and authority, since without sovereignty it is unlikely that the nation would be able to keep out outside powers and influence.
