    Many countries, like Liberia, are closing borders to keep out and contain the Ebola virus forcing people to move and travel away from the country. How does this relate to the theme of mobility in human geography?

    Interesting article ... Why do you think Hershey Park needs to create a new attraction this coming year?  In what ways does the park operate like a city? Think about it and share your thoughts.

    Hershey park might need to create another ride to boost their profits. I am sure they expected a jump in sales when skyrush came out but, it hurt some peoples legs. Personally I think it's worth it for the ride. Anyway; In what ways does the park operate like a city?; I think the park operates like a city in a manner that all the rides are constantly informed of the weather. The security service acts as the news team and reports dangerous electrical storms on their way to the houses(rides) and tells them to shut down so no one gets hurt.

    Why would Gaza residents risk going back home if they knew that daily bombings, lack of vital services, and the destruction of their homes and belongings is dangerously inevitable?

    Great question. Any thoughts, APHUG?
  • owencourtney on 25 Aug 14
     
    Possible the people heard a rumor that the war was almost over. Or maybe they just want to return to their home in which they've been living in for the past years and have a connection to it. Lastly, people might have a feeling that if they grew up in a house they're ok to die in it too.

    I thought this was very interesting. As for an answer Pennsylvania is unique to its fall season. In which trees turn various shades of yellow and orange. So maybe that could be a reason to move here.

    The theme of mobility is presented as the outbreak of Ebola causes the country of Senegal to close its borders with Guinea. This deadly and highly contagious disease has diffused throughout the population in Senegal and other countries. The pandemic has caused worldwide fear. Will closing the borders really be effective in blocking the spread of Ebola? Is Ebola able to be cured and, if not, are we trying to find a cure?

    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?

    I've been thinking about this, too. What kind of diffusion does the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge represent? Nice work, Gemma.

    Myths about Ebola are quickly spreading thanks to globalization and the connections that make it up. Information, whether it be correct or not, is disseminating quickly through diffusion. While it is informing people of the problem, it is also causing fear in many. How can we utilize the power of modern-day technology and the speed at which ideas spread to help limit the amount of false information shared and ensure that the right information reaches those who need it?

    What are the economic factors behind the separatist movement? Who is funding the pro-Russian rebels? What does Russia have to gain? This relates to the theme of nature culture. Nature culture encompasses political, economic and social forces. The rebels have these interests with a strong Russian political backing, Russian economic ties supporting the movement, and the common Russian heritage that is shared due to the inclusion of Ukraine in the former Soviet Republic.

    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.
