Big Ideas of Lesson 5, Unit 4

Where people live shapes how they live. The values, beliefs, behaviors, tools and other material objects people use are influenced by their physical environment.

Cultures change when people invent new things to address a problem or when they learn new ideas from people from other places.

When people share an object or idea and it spreads to other cultures, it is called cultural diffusion.

Culture is diffused, or spread, through factors such as migration, trade, conflict and technology.
