For those that read Nine Parts of Desire ... any connections with things you heard or saw in this video? How do these Sharia patrols impact the cultural landscape of this city?

The religious aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is explored in light of a recent firefight. Why would both sides take shelter in their respective religious places of worship? Wouldn't that be against the rules both religions have to bring a conflict into a religious place? 

Greetings APHUG - Preview this website which will serve as one of our resources this coming week.

This article is a great example of the theme mobility as it was found that seals came to the new world first, bringing tuberculosis with them and giving it to the humans that hunted them. Even though this is a great discovery, there is no one alive today with the same ancient strain, which means that they still don't know if it can be transmitted from human to human.

With the Ebola outbreak in western Africa, people are hesitant, or even prohibited from traveling to effected areas. How will this change the culture of this region and how they live?

This article is a good example of conflicts between regions, and how belief systems can be so different even if two regions are near to one another.

As of Sunday, August 24, The ALS Association has received $70.2 million in donations. Mobility is seen in the situation of the Ice Bucket Challenge as awareness is spread from region to region, across the nation. This expansion diffusion leads to a large number of people supporting and donating money to the ALS Association. How will awareness of ALS continue to spread?

The area in the red box is about 25,000 square miles, slightly larger than the state of West Virginia. The small red square shows the space required to meet German demand for energy. If only this one small area of land in the desert can power the whole world, why doesn't someone build it? This shows the conflicting interests of world powers and the theme of nature-culture

Many children are crossing the border to the US to have a better life, which will put a strain on the US budget. The theme of mobility is shown in this current event. The immigrants move from place to place bringing their ideas and practices, which will eventually change the culture.

How would the possibility of a subglacial eruption at the Bardarbunga volcano in Iceland affect the nearby region and the people living there?

Due to the close proximity of Ukraine and Russia, each country has a large influence on one another. The theme of mobility is seen through pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine, who have been exposed to Russian ideas through diffusion. What effect will the Russian influence have in the future? Will the rebels be able to separate from Ukraine, or will the Ukrainian government be able to gain control over its country again?
