What is Human Geography?
• Human geography is one of the two major branches of
geography and is often called cultural geography. Human
geography is the study of the many cultural aspects found
throughout the world and how they relate to the spaces and
places where they originate and then travel as people
continually move across various areas.
What is Human Geography?
• Human geography includes language, religion, different
economic and governmental structures, art, music, and
other cultural aspects that explain how and/or why people
function as they do in the areas in which they live.

Economic SystemsHuman Geography
What is Economic System?
An economic system is a system of production and distribution
of goods and services as well as allocation of resources in a
society. It includes the combination of the various institutions,
agencies, entities (or even sectors as described by some authors)
and consumers that comprise the economic structure of a given
community. A related concept is the mode of production.
Traditional Economic System
The work that people do, the goods and services they provide, how
they use and exchange resources… all tend to follow long-established
patterns. These economic systems are not very dynamic—things
don’t change very much. Standards of living are static; individuals
don’t enjoy much financial or occupational mobility. But economic
behaviors and relationships are predictable. You know what you are
supposed to do, who you trade with, and what to expect from others.
Command Economic SystemThe government controls the economy. The state decides how to
use and distribute resources. The government regulates prices
and wages; it may even determine what sorts of work individuals
do. Socialism is a type of command economic system.
Historically, the government has assumed varying degrees of
control over the economy in socialist countries. In some, only
major industries have been subjected to government
management; in others, the government has exercised far more
extensive control over the economy.
Market Economies
The economic decisions are made by individuals. The unfettered
interaction of individuals and companies in the marketplace
determines how resources are allocated and goods are
distributed. Individuals choose how to invest their personal
resources—what training to pursue, what jobs to take, what
goods or services to produce. And individuals decide what to
consume. Within a pure market economy the government is
entirely absent from economic affairs.
Mixed Economic System
Combines elements of the
market and command
economy. Many economic
decisions are made in the
market by individuals. But the
government also plays a role in
the allocation and distribution
of resources.

• Social class (or simply "class"), as in a class society,
is a set of concepts in the social sciences and

social stratification in which people are grouped into a
set of hierarchical social categories,[1] the most common
being the upper, middle, and lower classes.
