Excellent connection to the nature-culture theme. Interesting questions as well. I'm now curious about the Court of Arbitration. I wonder how effective their rulings have been in the past.
Israel Demands to Know All Details of Secret Agreement Between Iran and U.N. Agency - T... - 0 views
-
This article is connected to the recent deal made between The UN agency and Iran. The deal essentially removed any sanctions on Iran, and allowed them to grow in the global market again. That agreement in itself shows a relationship between The UN and Iran, since they did strike a deal. However, as this article outlines, it also brings the relations between the UN and Israel into play. Since Iran, a country that has mentioned on several occasions that they wish to wipe Israel of the map, will soon have a much larger economy, and with that much more money, it is rightfully suspected that they may use that money to help to carry out there plan. This enrages Israel not only because the UN made a deal with a country that wishes to destroy them, but also because that deal may very well help them to accomplish that goal. That is why Israel is demanding to know every last detail of the situation, which is what this article covers. With all of the relationships and connections brought up by this topic, it is clearly related to the geographic theme of globalization. In the end however, the question brought up by this really is, will Iran actually destroy Israel, and if so how much credit should go to this deal?

SpaceX rocket explodes after launch - 1 views
-
Earlier this week an unnamed space rocket, launched by SpaceX exploded just minutes after the launch. The purpose for this rocket, named Dragon, was to conduct a resupply mission for the International Space Station. Dragon's cargo included 2 tons of goods, including 1,500 pounds of food and provisions for the crew. It was not clear what caused this rocket to fail after launch but an investigation will be conducted very soon. This event relates to two major themes in Human Geography. The first theme is Globalization. Globalization represents the modern technological age, in which improved worldwide transport and communication allowing for the instantaneous diffusion of ideas and innovations as seen on page fourteen in the Themes Of Human Geography Textbook. By launching the rocket into space, SpaceX is improving communication between other nations that are using the International Space Station. Also, this rocket would have accelerated the technological age by providing influential information and hardware. In addition, this current event relates to the theme of Cultural Landscape. Cultural Landscape explains what a region or area actually looks like in relation to its physical features. Even though space is a foreign place to us humans it has its own Cultural Landscape, such as stars and galaxies. Thus this small rocket, loaded with supplies, can aid researchers in the Space Station acquire more information of the Cultural Landscape in space. In conclusion, Dragon's crash has been a very popular current event and relates to two various themes of Human Geography, including Globalization and Cultural Landscape.

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
