Geography: the essential skill for the 21st Century.(Social Studies Disciplines)(Essay)
As we head further into the 21st Century, we are living in an every changing and interdependent world. The toys that our children play with are made in China. The clothes we wear or the shoes on our feet, the bedding we sleep on, or the drapes over our windows are made as far away as Pakistan or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Students need a global awareness that includes familiarity with different cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles in order to understand and address global issues. Geography can help students understand these issues.
