En Qi: Physical Vs Human Environment-Which is more important?

En Qi here! :)

Personally, I think that the physical environment is more important than the human environment, because without even the physical environment in the first place, how can human environment be here? Basically the physical environment consists of physical features that occur naturally on the Earth hence are not created by people (such as rivers and mountains) while the human environment occurs when a physical environment is changed due to human activities (such as fields for crops that used to be a forest). The physical environment is something we all need, and is very important, although there may be natural disasters and such, it is still more important than the human environment. If we compare how the Earth is a thousand years ago (not even a thousand, a few hundred!) with the Earth is now, we can see a tremendous difference as a result of human activities. For example, the sea is rising at a very fast rate. Global warming is becoming a huge issue now. All of these has do to with the human environment. A long time ago the Earth was a very beautiful place, no pollution, not many extinct/endangered animals, etc. So who is to blame? Definitely not the Earth.

Of course, we cannot entirely blame us humans. The human environment is very important as well, because it improves our standard of living too. Now in the modern age, we have advanced technology and medical sciences. Singapore is a largely human environment, and we can see how much that has impacted us positively. Once a largely physical environment, we have transformed an island once covered with forests into a bustling city.

I feel that the physical environment is more important than the human environment. As we are dependent on the environment for survival, we should do our best to take care of it and respect it. :)

What's geography?

What is Geography??

(: Geography is the study of the earth's changes and development, lands, features, inhabitants and phenomena of both man and nature(something about things that happen like at occurrences or facts that are observable.). in geography, we study the physical environment which includes features and occurrences like weather, natural vegetation, rivers and mountains. geography also includes the man-land relationship (e.g. global warming), area studies, human phenomena.. now, modern geography studies include all-encompassing discipline that seeks to understand all of its human and natural complexities(problems or situations we may face). this not just includes where the objects are or where they can be found, but how they have evolved, changed and developed to become what they are today. you get what i mean. i think. okay, basically, geography is divided into two main branches : physical geography and human geography.

What's geography?

Geography is the study of the Earth and it's structures. Geography is also the study of the Earth's changes and development. Physical vs Human features- which is more important? In my opinion, both the physical and human features are equally important.

Physical features refer to things that are natural such as rivers, volcanoes and natural disasters. Human features refer to things that are created by humans such the light bulb, clothes and solar panels. Physical and human features can be dangerous as well as useful therefore I think that both features are equally important.

What is geography ?

To my understanding, geography is the study of earth and its structures . It is also the study of the Earth's changes over the years . However , when i interviewed my best friend ,she told me to her, geography is not only the study of Earth and its structures, it also encompasses the study of the entire universe . As our views were diffenert, i surfed the net. I found that geography was the study of Earth and its structures . It also is the study of changes and development, lands, features, inhabitants and phenomena of both man and nature .I only realised the importance of geography when my previous geography teacher , Miss Tessa Tan , showed us a video on how ignorant americans were on the countries on Earth .
