My Favorite Geography Subject


Hi everyone, this is my second semester on English class, so I want to start very good. Today I will write about my favorite geography subject, of course! Because I study geography and this preference is very important for my future as geographer, for my specialization too.

Generally, in the school teach us only the physical geography, like the importance of the Andes Mountain Chain or the Chilean Regions, all of this very important too but the Human Geography also. When I was in UMCE studying History and Geography, I understood this.

So my favorite geography subject is all related with Human Geography like Social and Cultural Geography, the Demography too, studies of Territory Conflicts (for example, the Mapuche Conflict), Urban and Rural studies but always related with Human Subjects. Actually I had only one: Cultural Geography with the teacher Enrique Aliste in the previous semester.

I love Cultural Geography because is related with a lot of disciplines like Anthropology, Sociology or History that I like so much. The studies about population and it relation with the space is so interesting. In addition is a low studied subject since Geography so I would like investigate much more in that.

Nevertheless, there are other subjects that I would like to study like Rural Geography but we don’t study yet. I live my childhood in the countryside and I would like to know it history and complexity.

Until now, I discovered the importance of Human Subjects in the Geography, the discipline is not only physical but a mixture of this two subjects and is very important to understand it relation and reciprocity.
