<p>f*** i don’t understand boundaries and the process. help please.</p>
<p>I think it’s when diffusion of a concept into another place sparks innovation in the second place.</p>
<p>From what I can get from this definition, it’s like the diffusion of the pencil to some other place, and they innovate upon this and produce the mechanical pencil.</p>
<p>I remember reading an example of stimulus expansion involve something about Martin Luther…
Found it: the examples are Apple computers & Martin Luther King Jr.
Have no idea why.</p>
<p>^^^^^^ I suppose these entities created products and promoted ideals which inspired others? Both King’s ideas of racial equality and Apple’s iPod helped to spur revolutions in social justice and portable media players.</p>
<p>@ TRUFFLIE: Superimposed boundaries are placed after settlement, usually without regard to people living there. This is especially apparent in Africa during colonialism.</p>
<p>Subsequent boundaries are placed after settlement, but they respect groups and settlements.</p>
<p>Antecedent boundaries are placed before and usually influence later settlement.</p>
<p>Relic boundaries are obsolete national boundaries for countries that don’t exist.</p>
<p>Geometric boundaries are unnaturally regular, like straight lines. They have little to do with the natural landscape. (e.g. the border of Colorado)</p>
<p>Physical boundaries follow the natural landscape like mountains and rivers. (e.g. the southern border of Texas, which follows the Rio Grande river)</p>
<p>Borders are created by Definition -> Delimitation -> Demarcation. Definition is where the border is formally agreed upon. Delimitation is when the border is marked on a map or other plan. Demarcation is where the border is marked on the actual physical land (this is less common).</p>
<p>ooh ty! i still don’t understand relic though</p>
<p>The boundaries are relics because they don’t exist anymore except in history.</p>
<p>Would something like the Berlin Wall be a relic boundary?</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^ As it separated the western capitalist Berlin from the eastern communist Berlin and no longer exists, yes.</p>
<p>VVVVVVVVVVV Relic boundaries affect countries and people, so since they were defending against the invading nomads, I suppose so.</p>
<p>oooh i get it. the great wall of china could possibly be one too if the ancient Chinese had used it as a boundary but now it isn’t anymore right?</p>
<p>what is the difference b/w environmental determinism and possibilism</p>
<p>I think determinism shows what the environment did to a society in terms of culture and possibilism affects the restrictions and opportunities of the environment on a society. Unlike determinism though, possibilism is not the be-all-end-all, rather, people still control themselves.</p>
<p>Environmental determinism: Theory (Ratzel was the main guy) that the environment influences and limits cultural aspects and controls how an environment ends up. For example, “people in tropical climates are less educated and backwards because their hot climate makes them lazy and sluggish.” Whereas, in possibilism, the environment gives certain disadvantages and advantages to a population, but the population shapes its own culture around these contraints. The culture can still overcome environmental disadvantages, and uses advantages for its own benefit, but it depends on the human.</p>
<p>ah i seee
thanks!
lol you’re probably gonna get a 5
i think im only gonna get a 4 ;-;</p>
<p>Stimulus expansion diffusion is when an idea is diffused, but it’s changed.ex. The feature of a point and click on a Mac was brought over to Windows. or iced tea to sweet tea.</p>
<p>In the concentric zone model, do land prices increase or decrease as it goes outward? Why do immigrants/poor live on the inside?</p>
<p>I’m thinking land prices decrease as you go outwards from the city center. This is entirely based on my experience playing SimCity.</p>
<p>Immigrants and the poor live on the inside of the city because they can’t afford transportation or amenities in the suburbs.</p>
<p>^^ land prices should increase outward. usually concentric zone cities are old cities, such as chicago, therefore having an old and deindustrialized core, so i believe immigrants/poor people live on the inside because it is cheaper and usually the jobs, such as factory jobs, are suitable for them in terms of skill & pay</p>
<p>In trying to answer this question about the concentric zone model, I’m actually getting a bit confused. I was under the impression that the inner city/inner ring was composed of immigrants and poor residents, and as you went outwards, residential families get richer and richer. However, the bid rent curve suggests that land price decreases as you get out of the city (which makes more sense). Can someone clarify?</p>
<p>a lot of cities vary. the bid rent curve doesnt apply to all city models, such as the multiple nuclei model which shows that the poor are on one side the middle class & rich on the other</p>
<p>Man, I just took the 2008 released exam and there were a lot of topics that my teacher didn’t go over… :(</p>
<p>where can you find such released exam? ^</p>
