GEOG 110 - World Regions is designed to increase global awareness by systematically examining major world geographic regions and key places therein – including absolute and relative locations, physical and human characteristics and interrelationships within the global community. The course explores how culture and experience influence people’s perceptions and regions; encourages awareness and tolerance of other regional cultural realities; explores global patterns and networks of economic, political, and cultural interdependence; and illustrates how cooperation and conflict among people influence the division and control of Earth’s surface; and illustrates balanced regional and global decision-making toward overall human development. the course emphasizes that virtually all geographic areas of the globe are increasingly interrelated in their effects upon one antihero. It emphasizes that to be a tolerant global citizen, one must be aware of the weak as well as the strong points of ones own cultural, political and economic realities in the context of global diversity. This course is intended as the first step in the development of lifelong geographic literacy as a requisite for global awareness .
