Why is geography important
When talking about the importance of geography, it is good to start off with answering the main question, what is geography? Well geography can be explained in many different ways, but my understanding is that, it is the study of the world, the changes that happen and can be changed, due to things which are discussed in the subject.
There are also different types of geography’s, such as physical and human geography. Also it is used in metrology, which is the study of the weather and climate. Tourism can also come under different types, different places to go and different experiences can come under this subject. Another type would be the cross between other subjects, such as science and business studies. Geography studies the economic and political status of different place, which combines the 2 subjects. In science, things such as tectonic plates and how much acidic is a river, all the examples give the links.
The main place where geography is used, is in different types of jobs, many of the jobs these days, you need some sort of geographical knowledge. The main job for which you need geography is problem a meteorologist, they need to be able to know what is happening with the weather to now in advance if anything major is going to occur. Other jobs such as working in business or politics, you need to know the best place to work in to get the best profit and trade, this would include MEDC and LEDC countries.
We know some examples of where geography could be used but we have not said what the importance of it are. One importance would be tourism, if companies are not aware of different places, this mean they would lose money, the need the most people there to get money. Also comes down to councils. For example, if the council is planning to build new houses, they can’t just build anyway, they need to make sure that that land is going to be the right land, such as for practical use all the way to health and safety.
The final part on when talking about the importance of geography is how it is linked to other subjects which are studied. Well it has many links, such as sociology, phycology and business studies. For sociology, it is link by the people in the world and they have changed the way of living, for phycology, it has the similar effects, except for example, natural disasters or experiments which have happen, phycologists, they can study all the effects of this happening and break down all the parts.
So in my opinion I think that geography is important because we would not be able to do things and live well without, a lot of people lead there life on things such as building properties safely all the way to the weather, if we was not able to know what was happening in the world, it would be hard to live our lives.
