AP Human Geography 9/19/16 http://mrmilewski.com OBJECTIVE: Examine the different types of regions in the United States. APHugI-D.4 Language objective: Write about regions.

Regions Formal-a uniform or homogenous area where all share a common attribute such as language, climate or political system. Functional or Nodal- an area organized around a center, node or focal point that is organized to function politically, socially or economically. Vernacular or Perceptual-how people think about or perceive a region-such as Midwest or the South
4
This functional regions on this map are based on the linkages between large banks of major central cities and the correspondent banks that they serve in smaller towns.
5
The state of Iowa is a Formal Region. The colored circles represent the percentage of households served by a TV station and are Functional Regions
6
Map Exercise Using your practice map, label the following regions: West Midwest South New England Mid Atlantic Gulf South West Pacific Northwest Acadia Atlantic North

Culture Culture is the man-made part of the environment. (It is learned & passed on) Cultural trait is a single attribute of a culture such as chopsticks. Cultural region is a portion of the earth occupied by people who share cultural traits such as religions, languages, political organizations, etc. Cultural realm-is a large segment of the earth with uniformity in cultural characteristics such as “Latin America”
19
Acculturation-immigrant populations take on enough of the values, attitudes and customs of the receiving society to function economically and socially. Assimilation-the complete blending with the host culture and the loss of most if not all of a groups previous distinctive ethnic traits. Syncretism-the process of fusing the immigrant culture with the native or adjacent culture. E.g. Haitian mix of Catholic and African voodoo religious practices, Tex- Mex cuisine in the Southwest. Cultural convergence-the sharing of technologies, cultural traits and artifacts among widely separated societies.
20
Cultural Hearth-centers of innovation and invention, the center or cradle of a culture.
21
Cultural perceptions-like perceptual regions, there are many intangible elements that define a region’s personality. Consider the South as a Cultural Region; –Houses with porches –Foods like grits, greens and cornbread. –Drawl or dialects like Cajun. –Southern Baptist-Bible Belt –Slow pace of life and courtesy, hospitality.
23
Cultural Diffusion Cultural diffusion or spatial diffusion is the spread of an idea or innovation from its source to other cultures. Diffusion occurs through the movement of people, goods or ideas. Carl Sauer focused on cultural diffusion in his book Agricultural Origins and Dispersals (1952)
24
Types of Diffusion There are two main types of Diffusion: Expansion Diffusion –The spread of an item or idea from one place to others. In the process it remains and often strengthens in the origin area. Contagious diffusion-rapid widespread diffusion by direct contact. Affects all areas uniformly as it spreads outward. E.g. the spread of Islam. Hierarchical diffusion-or cascade diffusion-the process of spreading ideas first between large cities and only later to smaller cities. Stimulus diffusion-the spread of an underlying principle even though the main idea is not spread. E.g. industrialization Relocation Diffusion –The innovation or idea is physically carried to new areas by migrating individuals or populations. E.g. Christianity brought to the New World by missionaries and colonists.
25
A Contagious Diffusion B Hierarchical Diffusion
27
Examples Expansion diffusion has a snowball effect-it gains momentum as it moves. It is happening much more rapidly today due to the technology of fax machines, computers, the internet, satellite links for TV, telephone, etc. Another example of contagious diffusion-spread of soccer as a college sport-Eastern ivy-league schools first. Hierarchical diffusion is also known as cascade diffusion-ideas spread from nodes of power or authority to other nodes of power-AIDS, Christianity, Hip-hop music, rap and the use of the fax machine are all examples of Hierarchical diffusion. The early 19th century Cholera outbreak in the US was an example of relocation diffusion and hierarchical diffusion-it spread from city to nearby city via water transportation-it spread slowly until the railroad network spread it much more rapidly via relocation diffusion.
29
–Time-distance decay-the farther away and the longer it takes to reach an area, the less likely it will be adopted. –Cultural barriers may pose obstacles to cultural diffusion- taboos or religious beliefs. –Cultural lag-when a social group is economically or psychologically unresponsive to change. Factors that delay diffusion
30
Examples The friction of distance is being reduced as technology improves transportation and communication. Religious beliefs that do not condone contraception would be reluctant to adopt a new medical breakthrough in contraception. The Amish - due to religious beliefs they do not use cars, electricity, telephones, etc., thus new technology like the Internet, etc. are not adopted by them.
