We will be exploring our world and thinking all the while!
Cultural Geography is a unique way to explore the world. We may do some memorization, but that is not the point of our adventures. We are wanting to learn how we all fit and interact on this globe.
In class last week we discussed culture and subculture as it related to homeschooling. Homeschooling can be considered a subculture in the US, but we divided homeschooling into more specific subcultures. See the list below, which includes "Field Trippers," "Organized," and "Anti-Social."
Culture was simply defined as a shared set of values. We will expound on this in upcoming classes.
Two assignments were given:
1) Choose as subculture of homeschooling to investigate. Be prepared to share with the class the positives and negatives of the subculture you chose.
2) Education is a way of transferring culture. Look at your favorite country and the way their educational system is set up. Be prepared to share your findings with the class. Check into the way the country views homeschooling too.
