Geography is a particularly difficult subject because people who are bad at it can never even find the class.
Geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together.
Geography is the mapping of the divisions of the earth resulting from either the whims of God or the imbecility of man
Geography is less relevant than ever in a world where non-state actors -- malleable entities like ethnicities, for example -- are as powerful and important as the ones with governments and borders.
Geography is a little bit of both geology which is the study of rocks, and geometry, which is the study of shapes.
