The housing used by the Inuit people depended upon the time of the year. In the summer they lived in tents. But in the winter they needed to protect themselves from the cold so they built and lived in a winter home they called an igluvigak. Most people refer to the Inuit winter home as an igloo, but the Inuit people called their homes igluvigaks.…
Not many people know how igloos have changed, but they have changed in many ways. For example, the word ‘igloo’ originates from the Inuit word ‘iglu’. Also, the large knifes the Eskimos use were originally made from bone, but as traders came in they got iron ones. Igloos were once used all the time by the Inuit as temporary homes to follow herds of animals, and they still are! But now, the women and children don’t have to live in igloos while the men are out hunting. Instead, they live in villages.…

Beginning in 1607, when ambitious English colonists settled in Jamestown, and continuing until the last of the thirteen colonies was established; geography was a substantial factor in the development of colonial America. The crops that essentially saved the colonists lives, such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, wouldn’t have grown without a certain type and amount of soil to grow properly. Also, the Appalachian Mountains and the dense forests provided a barrier for the colonists, preventing them from going too far west right away, and causing the colonies to form in the arrangement they did. Finally, the population was the most dense in middle colonies, such as New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania partly because of the mild landscape and fertile soil.…
E The traditional lifestyle of the Inuit is adapted to extreme climatic conditions; their essential skills for survival are hunting and trapping. Agriculture Was never possible in the millions of square kilometres of tundra and icy coasts from Siberia to Northern America and Greenland. Therefore, hunting became the core of the culture and cultural history of the Inuit. Thus, the everyday life in modern Inuit settlements, established only some decades ago, still reflects the 5,000-year-long history of a typical hunting culture which allowed the Inuit peoples and their ancestors to achieve one of the most remarkable human accomplishments, the population of the Arctic.…

The Inuit, which are commonly referred to as “Eskimos”, are a foraging society of hunters which rely on the surrounding environment to obtain sustenance. Unlike other foraging societies who rely on both gathering and hunting for provisions, the harsh climate and environment of the Arctic Circle gives little opportunity for gathering. Survival of the Inuit culture is heavily dependent on hunting for provisions; although the summer months bring supplemental provisions through gathering. Unlike horticultural societies, foraging societies contain smaller kinship systems which emphasize the nuclear family as the most important social unit.…

The specific area was the area south of the Arctic circles from the Bering Strait across the top of Canada all the way up to Greenland. They lived based on their hunting and fishing. Their source of food mostly came from fishing. They also created a vessel known as the umiak. They used this vessel to travel around. Later on they also build a large village and is now known as one of the biggest village created during that time period.…
Geography influenced civilization that arose in china, in so many ways. One way was the yellow river in which ancient china basically grew out of. All of the earliest civilizations arose on flood plains of major rivers because these lands provided the fertile land required to support their civilization. The yellow river was used to contribute to china’s civilization by also being as a highway to unify and control. There was also the warring states period which came about when the steppe cavalries became a serious threat to china in northern region, which ended when Qin Kingdom conquered the rest. During this period though, there were fights among seven major kingdoms that were independent and they were fighting to gain power and to become superior to all other in authority. Geography comes in with the help of the mountains and hills that contributed toward the sturdy walls that were built by the three northern states to keep raids from happening with the nomads and also to defend their villages.

I believe the act of deliberately sacrificing another human being is morally wrong, but there are some cases where it is justifiable. I also believe that cultural relativism plays a role in this, and that some societies view sacrificing others as morally right and that culture needs to be taken into consideration.…
