What Geographers said...

As a student Geography and enviromental ,

layan k...

Simply put, geography is our future. When we look at any issue with the balance and scrutiny that geographical study offers, we move beyond the media hype or political spin. Geography allows us to see the world more clearly. 

Geography is important to me because it is so relevant and opens your eyes to the world I live in.

Geography brings us all down to Earth. It gives other subjects a sense of place. We create our geography, and yet we are affected by geography.
Geography, it's a world thing. 

Geography makes you see the world from the inside out and the outside in.  It helps you figure out weather and whether you're more or less or in between.  

Peoples' interactions with each other and the planet are becoming more pronounced and complex. We are also realising more and more what a wonderful place it is. How can we NOT have a subject that teaches about where we live and about how we relate to places. So many kids (not all admittedly) love geography, simply because it teaches them about this amazing place we live in and many will retain this knowledge forever. How many people can remember how to do long division and how many remember their rainforest lessons? Geography is a wonderful and fully academic subject, needed more now than ever. 

 

Geography helps us think more intelligently about ourselves, how to live and the futures that we may need to face. It succeeds in doing this because as a subject it holds things together, in place, across the physical and human domains. It helps us understand the significance of scale and connectedness. 

Geography is the what of where. It is vitally important for understanding the world around us. Geographers question the world and seek to understand it, they explain why things are where they are. No other subject at school links so many factors together as one. Geographers learn vital skills like map reading, problem solving, decision making. They learn to link scientific factors alongside sociological, psychological and historical reasons for why the world is as it is. Geography is on the news everyday, from war in the middle east, to closing of factories in the midlands, to farming subsidy arguments in Brussels, to global climate change the list in endless.

In an increasingly globalised world the importance of appreciating variation and difference is something geographers are passionate about.
