today in human geo 11.18.14

Today in Human Geogeraphy, we kicked off our culture unit by looking at a map of what people call soft drinks. I just assumed everyone called it soda, but earlier (maybe the 50s) it was called it pop, but that was not the case. North, around Chicago, i is called pop. one the east and west coast, it is called soda. South, around Texas and Florida, people just call it coke. I thought that it was a pretty cool map. Then we took notes on exactly what culture is. Culture is what parents teach their children, such as what to call things, and how to do things, and what foods to eat etc.  I thought tha it was a pretty fun class, and I am excited to see what we do tomorrow.
