Does the film “Blue Planet” support or oppose our definition of geography? I believe it supports our definition of geography‚ for both the film’s and definition’s main points/ideas are in relevance to a cause(human activity) and effect(on natural environment) type system. Global warming‚ an obvious interaction/problem between human activity and the natural environment is also covered in this film. It states that there is a hole in the ozone above Antarctica‚ larger than Europe caused by chemicals

Another one I like to do is set an allowance to help watch any overspending from happening. The last step is at the end of the week try and scape up whatever cash you have left and put it in a savings account. The first thing I do when in need to save money is cut back on driving around. Figure out how much you drive to work in a week and then see how much extra driving you do. Sometimes it can get pretty high up there. Now that you know you only drive hundred miles to work a week. You are driving

How do you define yourself? Our identity is what defines us‚ as it is a fact of being of who or what we are. Having a sense of identity allows us to develop ourselves as a sense of well- being for one another. If we lose our identity it can prompt us to seek reassurance as we lose a sense of who we are and need to rediscover ourselves. In the novel‚ Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland‚ the characters have lost themselves and their identity as the result of society and seek a void to be filled

In Planet of Slums‚ Davis discusses the roots of slums in relation to urban poverty in the post-modern era as well as its social‚ political‚ economical and ecological consequences. This essay might ring a bell to many as a duplication of the famous UN-HABITAT’s report in 2003 on the challenge of slums; however in my opinion‚ what Davis is attempting to do here is an exploration to the roots of urban poverty on a global scale rather than within local state governance‚ and also with references to the
