Unique Points On Earth and Different Places Similar

In class we answered the next two key issues, why is each point on Earth unique and why are different places similar? Each point on Earth is unique because of culture. Culture is the body of customary beliefs, traits, and social forms that make the traditions of a group people. The word culture is latin and means "to care about" or "to care for". People care about ideas and beliefs like, religion. People take care of things like wealth and recipes. For example, if they have a family air-loom that gets past down through generations or if they have a family business. Different places are similar because of scale, space, and globalization. Scale and space help geographers explain why similarities among places aren't a coincidence. If a place has the same amount of space then they might have the same kinds of industries. Globalization is the process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope. For example, fast food is considered an American thing, but it is everywhere. Even though it isn't healthy food, it is convenient, tastes good, and cheap. It has spread to places that are known for being traditional. Culture is why places are unique, but places are going to continue to become more and more similar and lose their culture.
