I agree with this comment. The United States is a nation, whether people like it or not. We have to work together against other nations in order to survive. The state that is saying this comment also agrees with it since it knows it has other states it has to work with. We can achieve goals easier and faster if we all communicate together as a nation.
Refute:
The United States is not a nation. We have wars and fight with each other. We are enemies and we must work alone as states. We must prepare for fight with other states in this country and we must prepare to win. If we work together as a nation, we could all win and that would not be the goal. We want to be the top and not let others rise with us.
Hope this helps! I wrote this on my own, so it is based on my opinion. It still answers the question though! Thanks for posting! :)
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.
