Geography provides you with a context and understanding to the world you live in.
Geography includes the studies of Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Human Sciences.
Those who study geography have a unique perspective — one that comes with the knowledge of many cultures and spatial awareness that is not replicated in other disciplines. This mix of knowledge can help geographers come up with significant and unique solutions that others may not be able to see.
Another way geography can have a positive influence in the world is by creating awareness of the effect of climate change.
- Geographers have intimate knowledge of weather patterns and climate changes throughout the course of history on areas of land.
- They also have studied how those changes have affected humans in those areas.
- That knowledge is shared with others to hopefully bring an understanding and global awareness of the effects of climate change on human society.
Become A Global Citizen
Being an educated global citizen starts with the study of geography. Global citizens are conscious-minded of the world around them, understand others, and work towards making the entire globe a better place. That all starts with the study of geography.
So, once again, why is geography important?
It’s more important than you think — learning geography will help you better understand news, help fight climate change, be a part of a global community, understand cultures, and learn history.
At the end of the day, geography will help you become a better overall global citizen.
