characteristics.

2.3.1 World Cultures
#1: Social Groups 
 Among social groups, 
geographers study rich, 
poor, and middle class 
people. 
 They may look at age or 
gender. 
 They may study different 
ethnic groups, or people 
who share a common 
language, history, religion, 
and some physical 
characteristics.
#2: Language 
 One may hear a local form of a language, or dialect, 
that differs from the main language. 
– Pop vs. Soda 
– “Ya’ll ain’t from around here.”
#3: Religion 
 Religion helps people 
answer basic 
questions about 
life’s meaning. 
 Religious beliefs vary 
greatly around the 
world and have 
resulted in conflicts 
and struggles based 
on religious 
differences.
#4: Daily Life 
 Daily life varies in different cultures, 
including: 
– How we get, prepare and eat our food. 
– Types/shapes of houses. 
– Routines we have.
#5: History 
 History shapes how people view 
the world. 
 Many cultures celebrate holidays 
that honor their heroes and 
heroines. 
 A culture is 
influenced by how 
it remembers its 
successes, as well 
as its disasters 
and defeats.
#6: Arts 
 Culture is expressed through art, including 
painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, 
music, theater, and literature. 
 Insight into a culture can be gained by 
studying what its people think is beautiful and 
important.
#7: Government 
 Types of government can reflect a 
country’s culture. 
 A democracy is a form of limited 
government in which power rests 
with the people of a nation. 
 In a representative democracy, 
such as the United States, citizens 
elect representatives.
Government (cont.) 
 Some governments are led by 
individuals. 
 In a dictatorship, dictators control and 
rule as they wish. 
 In a monarchy, kings and 
queens inherit the power 
to rule.
#8: The Economy 
 In studying how the people of a culture earn a 
living, geographers study the culture’s 
economic system. 
 This “system” sets rules for how people 
decide what goods and services to produce 
and how they are exchanged.
