Modern geography is very different from the geography that most of us experienced in school. It is not about facts and descriptions. It is about planning, problem-solving, and decision-making in a complex world. Geography’s umbrella is large, allowing geographers to pursue widely varying research. These days that includes a lot of social activism and other work that might seem closer to sociology than geography, but much geographic research remains spatial and substantive.

Education Reform
In order to help America further better itself in education, I have developed a plan that would help with unused old textbooks. Schools could return their old textbooks to book companies for a percentage off of new textbooks. This would encourage schools to purchase more up-to-date textbooks for the students and help keep the schools in budget. When the companies received the old textbooks, they would then send the books to schools in third world countries that would need them, such as South Sudan. I believe this would not only help Americans but also be helping out other countries.
