Social Geography

Hi everybody, today I’m going to talk about Social Geography, it is a type of geography that study critically the social process in relationship whit the territory and the historical context, so it is about  to understand themes like inequalities, poverty, wealth, and its implications on space. Our professor is Michael Lukas, he is a German geographer, and he teach us about the relationship that the historical process and the distribution of people on the space. The globalism and neoliberalism allowed that the private sector can to buy all the recourses, like the lands, so they have the control on the classification of society in social classes. I can understand that we are a society stratified because the State is weaker than the (very) rich people, so they can to control the space.

I like the critical posture that the geography takes in social themes, we read very interested think about the actual word so I like to learn thinks that are a reality and its happens. This would be better if we study the way of improve this social problem, we can to learn about the forms of planning a better city we can contributing to the social development, but I’m in the middle of this course so I hope that in the second part of the classes I can to learn more about how do something for the people, because some teachers just teach about the problems and not the solution. Intelligence is the ability to solve problems, so y hope be intelligence some day L
