From the Wikipedia article geography: geography "is the science that studies the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth.[1]"

Contents

[edit] Cultural geography

“In class societies, where surplus production is appropriated by the dominant group, symbolic production is likewise seized as hegemonic class culture to be imposed across all classes.”[2]

"Control is frequently aided by systematically fostering ideologies that promote the interests of a dominant group, often by legitimizing the status quo [83]."[3]

"Thus Dennis Cosgrove, one of the dominant British members of this landscape school, argued that 'in class societies, where surplus production is appropriated by the dominant group, symbolic production is likewise seized as hegemonic class culture to be imposed on all classes' (Cosgrove, 1983, p. 5)"[4]

[edit] Development geography

"Johnston (1995, p. 194) argues that, without a right that protects against "the group-destructive practice of alienating native land" by the dominant group, indigenous identity will be threatened."[5]

"Are there subnational groups which have competing security outlooks which are at odds with the state or dominant group?"[6]

"As the views, interests and preferences of the dominant group go, so go the form and content of education that are put in place."[7]

[edit] Economic geography

"In order to assimilate into the privileged group, individuals must acquire the “proper” cultural capital and internalize the dominant group's habitus."[8]

"Unfortunately, his failure to provide more than a static and ahistorical description of residential and workplace segregation of arbitrarily defined social groups amounts to an abstraction and a distortion of the lived geographies of people who are often (but not always) subjected to oppression by a dominant group."[9]

"Landscapes of the 'other' are then constructed by the dominant group as disruptive of the 'normal' order, to be eradicated, or at least contained and managed."[10]

[edit] Human geography

Also, from the Wikipedia article geography: "Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape the human society. It encompasses human, political, cultural, social, and economic aspects." including the following description of branches.

Human geography can be divided into many broad categories, such as:

[edit] Physical geography

"Physical geography (or physiography) focuses on geography as an Earth science. It aims to understand the physical problems and issues of : lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere, and global flora and fauna patterns (biosphere)." per the Wikipedia article geography which includes the following description of branches.

Physical geography can be divided into many broad categories, including:

[edit] Phylogeography

"[M]odern haplochromines gave rise to several major adaptive radiations; the most prominent ones are those of [Lake Malawi] LM and [Lake Victoria] LV."[11] The radiation of the Tropheini from Lake Tanganyika (LT) "must now be considered as an additional radiation of the modern haplochromines, corroborating the much older perception that LT accommodates several independent species flocks".[11] "This implies that the ancestor of the Tropheini successfully re-entered the lake habitat and evolved into the presently dominant group in the rocky littoral zone of LT."[11]

[edit] Transportation geography

“The river traffic is not concentrated; there is no one dominant group of docks, wharves, warehouses, etc.; on the contrary the traffic is widely dispersed along the shores.”[12]
