Upcoming quizzes:
-TOMORROW (Weds, 12/1): Cultural geography vocab quiz (part I)
-Friday (12/3): Middle East map quiz
Important information on tomorrow's vocab quiz: All words on the study sheet are fair game for the matching questions. You can download the study sheet by clicking here. The following topics will be covered in multiple choice or short-answer questions on tomorrow's vocab quiz - to make sure you understand these concepts at a deeper level and can tie them together and apply them, I recommend re-reading the sections where they are discussed in the reading packets and other notes:
-The difference between the concepts "race" and "ethnicity"; also, think about why "ethnicity" is usually the preferred term in academic writing. You can find a very useful overview of this topic here: http://anthro.palomar.edu/ethnicity/ethnic_1.htm.
-The related concepts of: globalization, placelessness, global-local continuum, glocalization.
-Aspects of identity. How do people define themselves? They may use social categories such as ethnicity, gender, language, religion, sense of place, and nationality as well as individual traits such as interests, dress style, etc. They may also define themselves by what they are not - this action is called "identifying against" something.
-Cultural diffusion. Review the concepts and methods of diffusion from the first unit: hearth, expansion diffusion (hierarchical, contagion, and stimulus diffusion), relocation diffusion.
See you tomorrow,
