Today in class we continued learning about cultural geography. We talked about the factors of language, religion, and ethnic heritage and how they affect a country or an area. An example of language would be how the spanish language unites the hispanic world. Brazil is the only south american nation which not not speak spanish, but Portuguese. In the ethnic heritage section and example would be how ethnic groups in Yugoslavia were made into one country. This happened when strong leadership died out, the different groups fought a very bloody civil war. It was an interesting an relaxing class today. I enjoyed it.
