Enduring Understanding (PSO-3): Cultural practices vary across geographical locations because of physical geography and available resources.

Learning Objective PSO-3.A: Define the characteristics, attitudes, and traits that influence geographers when they study culture.

• PSO-3.A.1 Culture comprises the shared practices, technologies, attitudes, and behaviors transmitted by a society.
• PSO-3.A.2 Cultural traits include such things as food preferences, architecture, and land use.
• PSO-3.A.3 Cultural relativism and ethnocentrism are different attitudes toward cultural difference.

Enduring Understanding (PSO-3): Cultural practices vary across geographical locations because of physical geography and available resources.

Learning Objective PSO-3.B: Describe the characteristics of cultural landscapes.

• PSO-3.B.1 Cultural landscapes are combinations of physical features, agricultural and industrial practices, religious and linguistic characteristics, evidence of sequent occupancy, and other expressions of culture including traditional and postmodern architecture and land-use patterns.

Learning Objective PSO-3.C: Explain how landscape features and land and resource use reflect cultural beliefs and identities.

• PSO-3.C.1 Attitudes toward ethnicity and gender, including the role of women in the workforce; ethnic neighborhoods; and indigenous communities and lands help shape the use of space in a given society.

Enduring Understanding (PSO-3): Cultural practices vary across geographical locations because of physical geography and available resources.

Learning Objective PSO-3.D: Explain patterns and landscapes of language, religion, ethnicity, and gender.

• PSO-3.D.1 Regional patterns of language, religion, and ethnicity contribute to a sense of place, enhance placemaking, and shape the global cultural landscape.
• PSO-3.D.2 Language, ethnicity, and religion are factors in creating centripetal and centrifugal forces.

Enduring Understanding (IMP-3): The interaction of people contributes to the spread of cultural practices.

Learning Objective IMP-3.A: Define the types of diffusion.

• IMP-3.A.1 Relocation and expansion—including contagious, hierarchical, and stimulus expansion—are types of diffusion.

Enduring Understanding (SPS-3): Cultural ideas, practices, and innovations change or disappear over time.

Learning Objective SPS-3.A: Explain how historical processes impact current cultural patterns.

• SPS-3.A.1 Interactions between and among cultural traits and larger global forces can lead to new forms of cultural expression; for example, creolization and lingua franca.
• SPS-3.A.2 Colonialism, imperialism, and trade helped to shape patterns and practices of culture.

Enduring Understanding (SPS-3): Cultural ideas, practices, and innovations change or disappear over time.

Learning Objective SPS-3.A: Explain how historical processes impact current cultural patterns.

• SPS-3.A.3 Cultural ideas and practices are socially constructed and change through both small-scale and large-scale processes such as urbanization and globalization. These processes come to bear on culture through media, technological change, politics, economics, and social relationships.
• SPS-3.A.4 Communication technologies, such as the internet and the time-space convergence, are reshaping and accelerating interactions among people; changing cultural practices, as in the increasing use of English and the loss of indigenous languages; and creating cultural convergence and divergence.

Enduring Understanding (IMP-3): The interaction of people contributes to the spread of cultural practices.

Learning Objective IMP-3.B: Explain what factors lead to the diffusion of universalizing and ethnic religions.

• IMP-3.B.1 Language families, languages, dialects, world religions, ethnic cultures, and gender roles diffuse from cultural hearths.
• IMP-3.B.2 Diffusion of language families, including Indo-European, and religious patterns and distributions can be visually represented on maps, in charts and toponyms, and in other representations.
• IMP-3.B.3 Religions have distinct places of origin from which they diffused to other locations through different processes. Practices and belief systems impacted how widespread the religion diffused.
• IMP-3.B.4 Universalizing religions, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Sikhism, are spread through expansion and relocation diffusion.
• IMP-3.B.5 Ethnic religions, including Hinduism and Judaism, are generally found near the hearth or spread through relocation diffusion.

Enduring Understanding (SPS-3): Cultural ideas, practices, and innovations change or disappear over time.

Learning Objective SPS-3.B: Explain how the process of diffusion results in changes to the cultural landscape.

• SPS-3.B.1 Acculturation, assimilation, syncretism, and multiculturalism are effects of the diffusion of culture.
