Geography

Geography was the first thing we learned about our world. We have 7 continents; North America, South America, Europe, Antartica, Africa, Asia, and Australia, We have 4 oceans; Alantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Artic Ocean. The world is made up of 70% water. 98% of that is salt water while the other 2% is fresh water. 

And there you have it,

the Atlantic Ocean.

Hurry up Ella, I've been waiting for this all year!

           Economies

Economies determine whether or not a country is a developed or developing country. A developed or developing country is determined by your GDP. If you live in the United States then, you live in a developed country. Their are four types of economies; traditional, market, command, and mixed. A lot of countries have a mixed economy, a little of all economies combine.

I live in a market economy meaning, we can do free marketing without government control.

        Government

Government is a huge thing used in every country. It is used to protect people, their rights, and to resolve in any conflicts. There are 100's of different types of governments. A few examples are; Tribal Rule, Direct Democracy, Representative Democracy/Republic, Constitutional Monarchy, Dictatorship, Absolute Monarchy, and Oligarchy. Many of which are controlled by single person, a group of people, or a person elected by the citizens to take power.

You must obey those who stand ahead of you! I am the queen of this country!

Yes ma'am.

              Culture

Culture is the way of life in a specific group. Many of the different types of cultures could revolve around; beliefs, homes, food, clothing, sports, religion, government, and many more. Some groups have a tendency to view their own culture as a better way of life than others. Some groups also use cultural diffusion to try to convince others to switch to their cultures. 

Many people explore their culture through the music and dances. Most dress up in fancy, crazy outfits.

             Religion

We have 5 major world religions; Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all religions where they believe in one God. Hinduism and Buddhism believe in something way different. Hinduism is a religion which believes in multiple Gods while, Buddhism doesn't believe in a God at all. Christianity and Islam are the two major religions in our world today. About 30% is Christian and 25% is Islam.

      Indus Valley Civilizations

The Indus River Civilization developed around the same time as Egypt and Mesopotamia. The Mesopotamians and Indus River people traded with each other. The Archeologists have found Mesopotamian artifacts in Indus River cities and Indus River artifacts in Mesopotamian cities. They had a writing system that couldn't be identified by Archeologists. They also used seals that were determined to be used for trade, documentation, and religious purposes.
