Why study geography is important ?

While many of us labored to learn geography in school, we always wondered why it mattered. Here are some reasons why a sound understanding of geography is more important today than ever before.

The study of geography gives us an opportunity to observe and analyze the close association between the natural environment and human life. It consists the study of our planet, its climatic conditions, the various landforms on the planet and the different natural occurrences. We can understand how influence of nature affects cultural diversity, environment, society and globalization. But the children of modern times do not find it important to study geography. They did not study geography at all, for example: "almost students and pupils do not know how to read or analyze the map in 2006 at U.S. They could not find Afganistan, Australia, Laos,.... "

Do not you think it is important to know all about this in depth? Don’t you feel the need to have knowledge of our Earth? If you feel the need to, you have a reason to say that geography is important.
Each of us lives in a unique place and in constant interaction with our surroundings. Geographic knowledge and skills are essential for us to understand the activities and patterns of our lives and the lives of others. Geographic knowledge and understand is fundamental to reaching our goals.
