Human Geography, what is it?

Today in class we discussed Human Geography and what exactly it is. Geography is the study of where things are found on Earth's surface and the reasons for those locations. Human Geographers ask two main questions. Where are people and activities on Earth found? Why are they found? Earth is such an abundant place of people and different cultures, so it would be understandable why human geographers exist in the first place. They are here to document why and where these people can be found. This in turn created maps. Cartography is the art and science of map making. So cartographers make maps for two main purposes. As a reference tool to identify an object's absolute and relative location. And as a communications tool to convey the distribution of human activities or physical features. This in turn helps people know where things are. If you needed to find the Polish nation and it's people just pull up a world map and look around. If you didn't know it was in Europe then it may take longer but you'll still find it because maps are simple and easy to use. They are like this because all peoples need to find their way around the world. It helps us document where these people are and how we can keep track of them. It's worked for centuries and will for many more.
