What does it do to a sense of national identity when you don’t know
where you are on the map and, in terms of human geography, who you are
as a people? As a teacher, I’ve seen the difference geography can make
in my students. Those who embrace it – who “get it” – develop a “sense
of place.” They understand that who they are is determined in part by
where they are. Undeniably, geography contributes to a sense of identity
on a personal level and collectively as a nation.
