"Dualism is one of the most characteristics of geography" . justify the statement |
Answer» Dualism in geography is the differing belief of geographers over any geographical topic.It is of two types-1) Environmental determinism-It is the study of how the physical environment predisposes\xa0societies and states towards particular development trajectories. Nineteenth century approaches held that climate and terrain largely determined human activity and psychology, and it was associated with institutionalized racism.2) Social determinism-It is\xa0the theory that social interactions and constructs alone determine individual behavior (as opposed to biological or objective factors).\xa0A social determinist would look only at social phenomena, such as customs and expectations, education, and interpersonal interactions, to decide whether or not a given person would exhibit any of these behaviors. | |
