Today, we took more notes:
Religion can be both a unifying force
-there are five major religions in the world today: Hinguism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-they have millions of followers all believing the same thing
-religion can also be a dividing force around the world
-Hindus and Muslims fight in India (Hindu) and Pakistan (Muslim)
-There are conflicts between Catholics and Protestants (two forms of Christianity) in Northern Ireland
-Jews, Christians and Muslims all claim Jerusalem as their religions holy site, they are constantly fighting over the land
-spatial divisions are how we divide the livable space found on the earth by establishing social, economic, and political control
-you can be a member of more than one spatial group
-spatial divisions can also cause conflicts or cooperation
Examples of Spatial Divisions:
-countries
-economic alliances
-European Union (EU)
-Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
