Why do we study geography?

Geography is the science that deals with the study of the Earth and its lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena. A literal translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth". Geography has been called 'the world discipline'. As "the bridge between the human and physical sciences." - Wikipedia


From its definition quoted from Wikipedia, we can see that Geography is a very broad subject which involves not only physical geography, but also the human sciences. 


We've seen more and more natural disasters happening all over the world in recent years. Why does all this disaster happen and how can we minimize the damage of the disaster? Physical geography explains these questions. 
We all know that Singapore is a small island country. We didn't encounter any natural disaster before doesn't mean it would never happen in Singapore for ever. We are too small and fragile to afford even one small disaster such earthquake or tsunami. Therefore it is crucial for us to learn and understand the geography facts behind the disasters.


Human Science is very interesting to me as I like travelling in a different country and culture. It's amazing to have so many various cultures in the world and through the exchange of thoughts, we would be able to work together, to make it a better world.


It is great to have this opportunity to create a blog and track our learning progress in studying geography. Hope all my classmates would often visit my blog and put down your comments. Cheers~!!!
