AP Human Geography 2010 Prep

<p>Can anyone tell me whether or not my elaboration on the new division of labor was right?</p>

<p>nations are a group of people with a defining or unifying characteristic, such as ethnicity, but w/o a officially defined boundary</p>

<p>states are areas or terriotries with officially defined or politicalboundaries but having a similar group of people is not necessary</p>

<p>nation-state is basically both, ie japan</p>

<p>^^ what is a division of labor???</p>

<p>@skate. </p>

<p>nation- a group of people that have either a common language, ethnicity, religion(the Kurds are a stateless nation)</p>

<p>state- a country, the actual political territory </p>

<p>nation-state- combination of the two… (Japan)</p>

<p>I tried to explain it in previous posts. On the last page. See my 2nd try because I think the 1st try was wrong.</p>

<p>FMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlll</p>

<p>What is ■■■?</p>

<p>can someone explain this to me please?
A fad is started by a tv personality, and it spreads throughout the US.
it says it would be heirarchical diffusion, but wouldn’t it be closer to expansion or contagious?</p>

<p>I don’t know why but when it comes to fashion or music (rap) it’s hierarchical.
But here is my try:
A hierarchy is pyramid rank. So like a fashion trend. Fashion-know-it-all are the people who start and spread them. Then the spread works its way down the hierarchy to normal people like us. :)</p>

no because not all places have technology, TVs especially. usually places such as NY & LA, the center of mass media and pop culture have these technology so these young girls can be able to see them and follow the fad. but a country girl on a farm generally wouldn’t be able to because, well, she’s on a farm, no technology or anything. hierarchical requires a mutual aspect</p>

<p>thanks! also, most people are talking about reading the book… I have Barrons, but haven’t read it. I’ve done about 5 practice tests, from Barrons and Kaplan, and took notes from the “If there are only x many things you learned in this chapter.” I also looked over all the FRQs online and in my book… will this be enough?</p>

<p>aquamarina- No, the essays are not THAT hard, it’s just there are so many things they could ask about and you never have any idea what they will be on! Like if one was on something like languages I would be screwed! The only language families I know are Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan. Oh and your definition on the New International Division of Labor was correct.</p>

<p>^ yeah language families are a pain in the butt</p>

<p>Okay, it is 10:15 PM and I’m opening the PR book for the 2nd time in my life.</p>

<p>Ohhhhhhboy.</p>

<p>Yes and do any of you even know anything about religions like Sihk or Shinto? There are so many little religions in Asia that I hope we don’t have to know!</p>

<p>Sikhism is just another religion in India. Don’t worry about it though. As for Shinto, never heard of it.</p>

<p>Only pay attention to Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism), Islam, and Buddhism. The book says you should know Hinduism and Judaism too though. Pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>Holy *****
i just realized that barron’s doesn’t cover religion</p>

<hr>

<p>Yeah it does.</p>

<p>oh what page?</p>

<p>I don’t understand the when Barron was talking about conquests in the Heartland theory?
Please someone explain.</p>
