Identities are also constructed by identifying against (defining the other and then defining ourselves as ?not that.?) Gender? Gender ? ?a culture?s assumptions about the differences between men and women: their ?characters,? the roles they play in society, what they represent.?

8 Salloum 1 Key Issue 3: Why is Popular Culture Widely Distributed? Popular culture varies more in time than in place. Popular culture begins in one location, like folk culture, but diffuses rapidly across earth to locations with a variety of physical conditions. Rapid diffusion depends on a group of people having high level of economic development. Diffusion of Popular Housing, Clothing, and Food Some regional differences in food, clothing and shelter continue to persist in MDCs. Popular Housing Styles Housing built in the U.S. since the 1940s demonstrates how popular customs vary more in time than in place. Newer housing in the U.S. has been built to reflect changing fashion of houses. After WWII, most U.S. homes were built in modern style.

CHAPTER 3 MIGRATION Introduction Geographers document from where people migrate and to where they migrate. They also study reasons why people migrate. In the United states, the average family moves once every six years. Most people migrate in search of economic opportunity, cultural freedom, and environmental comfort. The difference between the number of immigrants and the member of emigrants is the net migration. Local diversity is the migration of people of similar cultural values. Migration is a form of relocation diffusion, but reasons for migrating can be gained from expansion diffusion. Case Study: Migration from Ukraine to Italy Legal and illegal immigrants have been pouring into Western Europe by the millions. Most of them come from Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

The graph is an exponential graph that shows that every ten years the population is continuing to increase. The graph shows that as the years increase the population increasing as a faster rate then it was in the 1800?s. There are a few solutions to control population control; China has already enacted a plan. China has controlled its population majorly by offering extreme tax benefits to families that follow its one child rule, and tax punishments to families that don?t follow the rule. This has encouraged many people to only have one child, and therefore, controlled its population. This is one way governments can begin to control population because taxes and money have a big impact on peoples? decisions.
